Quote of the Day
Comes from Andrew Shotland on covering Kelsey’s conference and specifically Rodney Rice, founder of Servicemagic:
“It’s nice to see Rodney here. The last time I saw him it was around the year 2000 and he was kicking me out of his office after I and a couple of goons that I worked with at Homestore.com tried to bully him into giving us a huge percentage of his company for the privilege of putting his brand on our site. The goons are now in jail on various SEC violations and Rodney seems to be doing fine.”
p.s. Also from the Kelsey conference, an update on InsiderPages, one of my favorite ‘dead companies doing great‘ (the prime example of this category is Friendster):
“March 07
2.5 million uniques
6 million page views/mnth
550,000 reviews
negative cashflow (to say the least)
October ‘08
5.5 million uniques
13.7 million page views/mnth
1,000,000 reviews
positive cash flow”
