Myspace Ads Hubpages Rejection
Hubpages got a rejection from Myspace customer service quoting it as a competitor of myspace which is not true factually This is one incident that made me laugh at the biggest social network of the planet called MySpace.And this must be quite embarassing for them to be into such a situation.The actual fault lies in their CRM deptt. Recently,a post on TechCrunch revealed what went behind the curtains with Hubpages,a startup that lets users write articles and earn revenues from their write-ups.Interestingly,hubpages got screwed by myspace customer execs three consecutive times,for quite illogical reasons. Like every other startup looking for more visitors,Hubpages marketing manager,Ryan Hupfer went ahead with the newly launched MySpace My Ads,a self service ad platform to

Will Online video sites ever turn into a profitable business ?
Popular online video sites are not making BIG money. YouTube, for instance has not yet turned a profitable business due to poor online video monetization. We all know how big YouTube is(ranks 3rd after Google and Yahoo) and how fast online video industry is growing as we are all contributing in it(by creating videos and putting them online) But let's face it...No matter how popular online video sites are,they are not making BIG money for the owners. To cope up with the growing expectations of users and high competition,online video sites such as Veoh,Metacafe,Revision3 and our pet YouTube were putting best of their efforts. Counting from 'simultaneous video streaming'(which takes a big toll on server expenses) to

Looking to buy/sell out a car ? Go Pricehub !
Car prices portal Pricehub. PriceHub fulfills the need for a comprehensive,open source of actual selling prices for vehicles. So,you are looking for a new car and hence want to check out the 'actual' price of the car you are planning to buy. You also want to sell out your old car(as it will be hardly of any use afterwards) but want to get rid of 'screwed up deal'. If that's the case then Pricehub will prove quite useful to you.Founded by two car enthusiasts who have collectively bought and sold over 30 vehicles,PriceHub fulfills the need for a comprehensive,open source of actual selling prices for vehicles. There is usually no true source to see what people really paid for a car.Instead, the only available data is the so-called published or estimated price such as the MSRP price,invoice price,Kelly Blue Book price, Edmunds.com price or trade-in value.

What startup folks can learn from Alice’s founders
Alice stealth startup at the moment has just announced a $4.3 million financing round,led jointly by private equity angel funds Kegonsa Capital Partners and DaneVest Tech Fund. The founders of Alice,Brian Wiegand and Mark McGuire have earlier managed to sell out their three startups(the last one,Jellyfish(social search engine ) to Microsoft) in the past decade and are looking all set with Alice.com As the startup is in stealth mode right now,you will hardly find any information about the service they are going to offer.They have planned for a closed beta release in January and a full public release in March 2009. According to whatever they have written on the site,Alice seems like an online retail service for consumer stuff,focussed on linking household stuff manufacturers like toilet papers & trash bags to end consumers directly.

Max Levchin(Slide) started a discussion on “The Platform Advantage” at the Web 2.0 Summit. Participants included Vic Gundotra(Google),David Treadwell(Microsoft),Elliot Schrage(Facebook) and Amit Kapur(MySpace).

The talk initiated with a basic outlook of 'Platform',going deeper afterwards.Amit pointed that "A platform has to create an ecosystem that includes a core base of users, tools to build applications, and an advertising network to monetize the platform"

SpeakToMe offers an ‘Unusual’ way to monetize your blog/site traffic

How to earn extra money on internet SpeakToMe. SpeakToMe offers an 'Unusual' way to monetize your blog/site traffic

Most of the bloggers/online experts spend time updating their blogs/sites to someday become eligible for making decent money online through advertisements(be it Google Ads,third party or any other).

But only a sleek percentage of folks actually taste high payout through blogs/sites,that to after long and consistent efforts.One of the major reasons behind this is the the low CPM rates in online advertising.

As the payout is quite low,the blogs/sites need to build high traffic before earning considerable money out of their traction.So,what about those blogs/sites having few thousand uniques(inspite of good expertise/knowledge bank of the blogger) ? Is there any way out for bloggers to earn big with relatively low traffic ?

SpeakToMe has tried to solve this problem.It basically lets you try a new advertising system which does not involve any advertisers.It provides you with a widget complemented with a webcam,chat room,telephony and ecommerce capabilities
