Today’s story on LiveVideo in Valleywag made me laugh, made me genuinely LOL.
Yes, LiveVideo execs are losing the plot. Consider following concept to understand my joy more: run Blogexplosion on a monthly budget of $500.
After little more than a year ago, I, and Splashpress Media, tried to buy Blogexplosion for the sum of $135.000 plus 6 months of advertising (above the fold) for LiveVideo. Almost a year later we were contacted and asked for our highest bid. We offered $75.000 for the then already fast declining platform, but LiveUniverse had other illusions.
But only then the fun started. Regularly one LiveUniverse person started to contact me, whether it was to broker a fallen platform, Blogexplosion, whether to run it. After a while I sent in a proposal, based on a monthly $2500 budget, with an initial 5 number sum to totally revive the platform and redesign this outdated 2002 nuke-alike website. Answer: too expensive.
Nevertheless LiveUniverse still hoped to recover some of the $150k invested in BE when they bought it and continued to bug me.
Bug me with the option of equity. Equity in a quickly declining platform, a platform with most features turned off already. The offered equity would obviously be performance based, 20% spread over the next four years. With a budget of $500/month.
Dearest LiveUniverse,
obviously you are too greedy to throw in a basic MacBookPro (an investment of $1999, tax deductable even), knowing that the entire monthly budget will be used for your platform.
Here’s my answer to you: get a grip.

It’s a beautiful day today: 18 years ago the Dippers celebrated their last English League title. As Liverpool die hards say themselves:
Next season will be Liverpool’s.
Promises.
We’ll knock them off their Champions League perch as will. That is if they reach the finals. Looking forward to play them in Moscow in May. Days after Manchester United lifted the Premiere League Cup for the tenth time. :)

On the Internet, we’re all famous to fifteen people. Inevitably, you’ll date at least one of them. So how does one gracefully navigate Relationships 2-point-whatever? Is post-coital Twittering acceptable? Should you block an ex from your Flickr? Do we need to call in a couples’ counselor to revise our Facebook relationship status together? After the breakup, who gets custody of the secret sex vlog? A seriously self-effacing facilitated discussion of social networking & managing your identity online when that comes close to and at odds with that of your lovers & partners.
Melissa Gira Grant condensing the truth of internet love drama in only some lines.
