Today I was reminded of what a huge business and opportunity there is in printing. Not just selling printers and cartridges, but formatting content so that it is printable, which in turn sells more printers and ink.
I went and checked out Facebook and a few other social networking sites. It turns out, the content is very poorly formatted for printing. While more content and information will be distributed to devices, email, and other formats, printing should not be forgotten.
I suspect there is a killer opportunity in formatting pages to be easier to print. I’d use a Facebook application or widget that took a web page’s content and formatted so that it printed in a nice, clean, readable format that was sized correctly.
