.tv My view points turned 180 degrees on Justin.tv

Hi

Was a boring weekend and I decided to be a geek over the weekend lol well try to Anyways

Did some research on a few issues, trends and my thoughts on Justin.tv had turned more positive actually. Not as mixed as I was.

I jumped on there for an hour or so checking out peoples stuff. Surly a soap opera but seeing how people can get sucked inn watching things.

Justin, platforms, audience addictions I see a more powerful model now

Now what Justin needs to do is to run social adds while people do there web cam stuff and they can basically form there own ppc network, charge there own rates, seek big sponsors in things due to there numbers each day. Note, I am afraid to say this but I think half the parking companies will go bankrupt, top players like frank will form his own ppc network and more cash. Did a write up on this before

Anyways Justin is only getting started and they can do a huge revenue share in each users platform and or run google ads on everyones network

That's amazing stuff if this occurs for .tv names, industry, growth. I am curious what type of an impact this could have on demand media. Both are solid companies, demand way ahead of the pact due to the brains, deep pocket VC money and probably IPO by year end or early next year. Another huge win for us

Then I been wondering on ppc parking companies. The main domainers should form there own ppc network, google will will miss that volume by them, half the parking companies today will go chapter 11 unless they reinvent the wheels with video ppc ads vs the ppc concept. Its working now but will it continue to work. I don't think so in 3 years times.

Sounds far fetched?? Yes and now. Extreme, yes it is right now but will likely occur I think

I think .tv will become mainstream. A buddy said this over the weekend which makes sense. His 3 year old kid knows what a tv is, Franks child knows what a .com is ref his last speech in Seattle. How many 3 to 5 year old kids know a .com. Not many. How many know what a tv? A lot. They watch the cartons, play games with a tv. Point is .tv will be a mainstream product with young children.

Justin.tv, my view point has changed and you got me sucked in on your model. Make the next steep and make us all proud of your developments and do the video ads and own ad group. We are sitting very well but can't rely on google, yahoo, parking companies, development is key, drawing people into channels, portals and social graphs. Note, bye bye stupid web 2.0 hello social graph.

Like I have mentioned before, it's not like the past where there has been no such thing as youtube.
Video sites are on the rise, and video is an attractive feature for many types of websites.
Technology is advancing rapidly in the web video field. Who knows what the future will uphold in this area. I see a good future for .TV.

The value of .TV is rising rapidly imo. Even some .TVs that didn't seem too attractive in May 2007 are now looking very attractive.
More and more media and other companies are starting to convert to or use .TV.

Exactly!!!!!

Hate to be devil's advocate but imho it's foolish to pin your hopes on Justin.tv. How long will people be inclined to watch somebody else's life?

Everyone watched Survivor when it first came out because it was unique and fresh, but nobody (I know) follows it now anymore.

Just my 2c.

yes and no...

Izy-look at the previous posts on justin issues and i was worried as well.

being on it and etc. I came to the conclusion of the above things-look at jerry springer on tv and what an audience that drove things and all these years, then these social networks and chat rooms. I would almost rather sit back and not type and just watch vs chat room-but I am a social network user besides here and dogster.com

Its a powerful model-I think they will always have an audience.

I completly agreeed with you 2 weeks back...Reminded me the .com glory days of pets.com, webvan, etoys, theman.com and the list goes on and on but now I had changed my mind.

I think it will be a facebook of .tv but in realtime. Imagine all the high schoolers using text messages, there myspace account, they will be hooked on justin.tv once they begin to target the teen market. Sorry parents-be careful lol.........

Thanks in insights.....If you had posted 2 weeks ago I would say you and I were right. Changed of thoughts and thinking now.

Updating myspace and facebook accounts wouldn't take that long but capturing themselves on video 247 is an entirely different beast.

But I could be the wrong and you guys could be gloating to this fool 2 years later. :hehe:
