I would like to do an informal survey on the following topics:

Which (new) industries will never adopt SaaS & why?

Which industries will & why?

When and whether the Internet will become ubiquitous (i.e. you get access while in the shower, one the plane, during the journey to the center of the earth, deep-sea hiking)?

Feel free to comment here or send me an email (rachel at ksum dt net). It may take a little while to get the full feedback and I will refer to these questions in the upcoming posts…

P.S. In progress & to go up within the next few posts: human resource management blogger list. I am open to suggestions.

P.P.S. I have been thinking that SaaS exercises the pull versus push paradigm – the services are pulled by clients on a “pay as you go” basis rather than purchased and used “in bulk”. It seems similar to pay per click versus banner advertising. If it is the case, this paradigm may be yet another factor in seeing a different trend in user attraction and retention.
