Commercial Sector apps

In the Feb 2011 "Computers in Libraries" Daniel Chudnov at the Library of Congress writes:

...the commercial sector isn't like ours, where we try to sustain services even if they cost a great deal just because they're fundamental to our mission. For companies such as Yahoo! and hundreds of smaller companies with Web 2.0 apps we've grown to depend upon in the last 5 years, when the money stops flowing, or even when their subscriber growth rates slow, hard decisions have to be made. Few companies will keep a losing product alive for long.
