"How do you define what is advertising and what is not? Which criterion do you use to reject messages?"
Message board: Two guys are sitting at home in their underwear, each on opposite sides of the country, chatting about stocks and generally playing armchair CEO regarding various publicly-held companies, via modem. That's the difference, I think.
"What is the business model behind siliconinvestor.com?"
First and foremost, a message board. It is somewhat driven with advertising projected to non-logged-in viewers, cleverly disguised as—advertising. The paying members, logged in, are not subjected to such. That's my interpretation of the model, at least.
"Did you look at what competition provide -- a positive ROI somehow measurable, to the clients?"
?? Referring to Raging Bull? ?? Guess I missed the question.
"How long do you think you are going to survive with this business model?"
Personally speaking, I'm not using this business model to survive, so I can't speak as to its impact on my life. I work for a completely different company, too. All the same, I expect to survive until I'm no longer—healthy diet, exercise, clean underwear, and complete abstinence from rhubarb, The Devil's Leafy Vegetable. |
