DISQUS

Have you tried doing advertising there ?
71 cents of profit per user is finally not that bad ;-D

Nic, you've got me excited. spill the beans. You don't quite say how you think you can make money from "passion and data which resides in their user base and profiles."

If its not advertising then how else are you suggesting they make oney? Selling their own syndicated products and services?

Paul - one option is to use the profiles as a basis for targeting ads on other sites, or indeed for automatically customising services on other sites. Provided users agree of course - but if it starts in a small way and builds up you can see it working.

That's not the way my comment was intended, though I see how it's ambiguous. Our initial service has a zero rev share, which is what I was referring to. Our initial service was a a fact-finding mission. We found our facts and will take value as we add more value.

To the extent that FB doesn't throw all the ad network startups off of their system, we'll start making money there in a few weeks.

Thank you.

Was just at FOWA but forgot to ask you for coffee. Just linked to you on Dopplr to make sure we don't miss the next time.
