Perfectly illustrating the immense potential of sites and companies leveraging this “gold vein” of sheer infinite resources.

      Hey Craig,

      Thanks for letting me know – updated in the post. It is most amazing to see this very simple but yet most powerful slide. Although obviously it very much simplyfies and hence not matches all the cases companies in the same way. But its a great hook to get audience attention and make a point.

      Cheers
