139 million homes with sufficient bandwidth for broadband TV will open up MANY possibilities opening up the realm of full-on on-demand models.

Re: Social Media Press Release –What do you think?

I really like the template you have created. I really think it's a fantastic idea but looks like there may be too much information crammed on one page. If you're serious about this, I would give more room for people to write facts, but other than that, it's a fantastic idea.

You can leave a lot off of the typical/standard release because thru del.icio.us and other websites, you can drive editors and writers to research.

Great! Looking forward to see how this plays out... but would love to know the revenue model of Confabb. My guess is that they take a % of each conference registration sold through this platform and/or charge a listing fee eventually to anyone who registers. I'll be checking this one out.

Looking forward to this Rafat! The last event in NYC was fantastic and was glad to be a part of it.

Re: Top Ten "BEST" Internet Acquisitions Ever…hmmm – "The WORST" list is easy!

Darren Herman — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 15:19:05 -0000

Thanks for the shout-out.

Anyway - this is certainly a good list but one I may disagree about in terms of the order and companies. AOL/Time Warner could potentially make the list - and what about AOL/ICQ? There are many others :)

Howard, thanks for the shout-out. I love the offline/online component of Webkinz as children especially love to touch and feel things. They need something tangible. Combine that with the power of the Internet (community), and you've got something absolutely amazing.

Re: Archive of a couple older posts

Andrew, great recap. Having an index of top posts is helpful as people like to see what you really find interesting on your own blog.

I did this on DarrenHerman.com to recap 2006 and it went over really well.

Great stuff!

Re: Irrational advertising exuberance and the pyramid of ad dollars

Darren Herman — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 11:44:50 -0000

What people do not take into account is frequency capping. If a site does 100MM pageviews, that's great, but many advertisers will want to frequency cap after 7 or 13 impressions per unique.

So, I'd argue that you need to take unique users and multiply that against a frequency cap to get your monetizable impressions.

Brad, I'm a huge Yankees fan but I'll give it to you, Schilling is good.
I wrote a similar post that compares an entrepreneurial project to a famous band, The Dave Matthews Band:

Re: What every Web 2.0 entrepreneur should know about virtual goods

Darren Herman — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 19:46:10 -0000

Andrew, this is a fantastic recap. The 5-15% of users who purchase virtual goods have created a fairly large market, and I believe that the percentage will increase over time, if there is value to acquire.

Wish I was at the event!
