(2003-05-30) Winer Software Industry

Dave Winer wrote a bit this week about the Software Industry, asking "Who's going to pay?". A professional software organization for a well-supported product has 10-20 people, maybe as many as 30 to 40. So when you hear yourself complaining about Software Quality, think about how much money the developer of the product has to fully support it. Tony Byrne has noted that there are successful software (CMS) companies of that SmallCo size: Percussion, Fat Wire, Red Dot Solutions, Ingeniux, Paper Thin, Roxen, Red Bridge Interactive, Ektron, Global S C A P E, Clickability, iUpload, Atomz, Crown Peak Technology.
