  • VideoEgg has a pay-per-engagement model and offers unique ad units —including roll-overs, ad frames, video ads, and iPhone ads—which go beyond bland banner ads. For instance, VideoEgg’s ads invite consumers to roll over and click on them to open them up so that they take over the whole screen, and then they can be presented with a video, a mini-website, or even a shopping experience. VideoEgg only gets paid when consumers engage with the ads.

  • Affiliate programs, where a content site can link to a commerce site like Amazon and eBay and receive a commission on resulting sales, are potentially a big source of money for content publishers.

    Sega and HEAT.net have officially announced that the online gaming web site will shut down on October 31, 2000. HEAT.net provides game-matching services and hosts online games including 10Six. HEAT.net members will receive a special e-mail announcement including exclusive offers for SegaNet membership. Sega has decided to redirect the HEAT.net resources to SegaNet to create a more comprehensive online gaming portal. 10Six will continue operation at www.10Six.com.

    I posted this as a historical note. Heat.net was the first place to serial number their game items, ie. a truck or gun acquired is not one of a class, but rather a unique item. this amplifies the value concept related to the item.

Favilous joins crowded social bookmarking space | VentureBeat - 4 views

favilous Networking bookmarking

shared by fishead ...*∞º˙ on 30 Jan 10 - Cached
  • A young UK-based startup called Favilous has joined the crowded social bookmarking space. It hopes to differentiate itself from the legions of existing bookmarking services by building a community behind the bookmarks, so users can share descriptions of sites and help each other discover new online destinations (see a clip from one of their tour slides below).
  • On the site, users can see other users’ popular bookmarks as well as the most popular bookmarks in various categories, including “Top Sites” and picks for categories such as food, entertainment, and travel. Once you sign up, you pick a number of categories, for example, blogs or music, that are of interest to you. Favilous populates the top sites in each of those categories, and to edit this list, you need to expand the category to see “all sites” and narrow it down from there, or else enter in a URL manually.

  • The company plans to make money in 3 ways: by licensing the API to businesses and allowing them to customize Favilous for their own needs; by creating a subscription model to bookmark music playlists (they have reached out to Spotify to allow users to bookmark their playlists); and to possibly look at affiliate relationships and advertise to users, although they are hesitant to do that at this time.

    How so? Is there a revenue model? I didn't see it in the display. Don't like black. Not a good introduction. Where's the music? Where's the art?

    From the highlight: "The company plans to make money in 3 ways: by licensing the API to businesses and allowing them to customize Favilous for their own needs; by creating a subscription model to bookmark music playlists (they have reached out to Spotify to allow users to bookmark their playlists); and to possibly look at affiliate relationships and advertise to users, although they are hesitant to do that at this time." I agree though--I don't like the interface at all, and their usability is very limited. The thing is though, someone's plunked down a bunch of money for these clowns to make this piece of crap, so it just shows that with the right pitch, people will shell out cash for anything. Polish up those red heels Twain, we need a good story to sell.
