So what on earth is a "freemium"?

Well, Wikipedia defines it as a business model by which a product or service (typically a digital offering such as software, media, or games) is provided free of charge, but a premium is charged for advanced features and functionality. LinkedIn, as an example, has executed that strategy flawlessly. And it took them to a hugely successful IPO last year.

Well, that's exactly what via680 (www.via680.com) is offering to 10,000 of the Youngstown Business Incubator's closest friends. Absolutely free use of the firm's amazing interactive video email technology.

Hurry...we only have 10,000 accounts to give away.

And a whole lotta friends!

I wonder if these guys will invite me when they ring the bell on the NYSE?

I always wanted to do that.
