This is really scary. I keep getting messages from friends I converted to Signal, asking me to go back to WhatsApp since Facebook has a deal with their providers to not charge WhatsApp data.
Now picture those able to afford their first mobile plan, they don’t have disposable income, they don’t have the option to pay for Firefox, I’m afraid this will drive people to use Google even more.
It's a paid premium service, the free version will still be there.
People need to also stop thinking free internet services are genuinely free. Pay for things that provide value and if it's free, ask what value is in it for the provider instead.
I’m referring to those with no money to pay for anything, no wifi at home, no computer, their mobile phone is the first chance to access the web, so they are 100% on Android which already comes with Chrome.
Chances are very small they will download a new browser (they don’t have much data to download stuff) even if it’s free. But once the word gets out that you have to pay for Firefox, it won’t matter if the free version is still there or if it’s as good as the paid one, Google broadcasts a louder message that it’s definitely free.
Thanks, how could I make the question more specific?
I had a quick look at the ToolsOfTheTrade, we are currently using Trello to organise who’s working on what and to do list, an industry specific service for invoicing, gmail for team communication, Hubspot for new leads and several spreadsheets and gdocs.
I’ve researched quite a bit about the tools but I’d like to hear from first hand experience how people are implementing this as I can see that the setup we have today is about to stop working, it’s getting harder to find and track what’s going on and I’m afraid to choose a wrong tool now that could be tougher to change later on. Or that there’s a smarter simpler way to do things that I’m now aware.
