So the investment in D360 is 2500 times that in Wikivorce.

The D360 guys better have some good revenue generating ideas!!

They need to take a look at divorcesource.com, old technology yes,
but crammed with revenue generators.

Wikivorce I would say is more of a visible interactive community with a real wealth of divorce info.

Divorce360 risks being just an online magazine that suffers the same fate as insidedivorce.com in the UK – which blew its funds on advertsising over 2 months then has since died a slow death.

Ya, here is all you need as a guy, keep your money away from your wife, don’t disclose yur wealth, don’t sign credit cards for her.

And after you get a divorce go fuck something, whatever it is.

Now, if only I had 2.6 M to put into my site. How’d you fellows do that?

As for the site itself, I love it – even if you’re just putting a toe in the water, there’s an entry point. I’m most grateful because it gives me a place to send two friends who, years after the fact, are still obsessed by their divorces!!! That “Moving On” section is great for helping them get over it – I know because I’ve gotten all the questions that section answers…

Someone said, ‘hey, here’s 20% of the things a soon-to-be divorcee goes through, let’s throw them up on the front page randomly’. They’re missing UI 101…Divorce is very complicated…at least in the US. They need to define their persona’s, the various stages of their persona’s, and then all of the issues that one deals with over time. Elements of personalization would be very helpful here too. ie, one just starting the process, vs. one in the middle of divorce, or one who has been divorced for a few years, all have different needs.

I realize many of you make light of this topic, however, as a single working Mom, with 2 children…and been divorced for 6.5 years, I can tell you, it’s not easy, and it doesn’t get easier. You just manage.

I have helped many with their divorce questions, as they’ve seen me go through it and succeed, to whatever degree one can say they’ve ’succeeded’.

This resource is needed. It’s a pure shame when people get $2.5M and don’t do their fundamental research and execute properly. And what’s up with a man who’s never been divorced running it?

Thanks,

Howard

I found your entry interesting do I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog …

VC: “That depends…what original idea for revenue generation will $2,5 mil get me?”

D360: “Um…..AdSense?”

VC: “Well, if you throw in banners for mortgage brokers, you’ve got yourself a deal. One rule, though: it’s got to look like every other 2.0 site. No Purple Cows allowed.”

D360: “Pwnd.”

BTW, if you need separate sites for men and women, I’ll “niche it down” one further: Dad’s New Place.

“Donut Divorve — Let’s make divorce a spectator sport! Divorces are usually very time-consuming, costly and not a lot of fun. Donut Divorce wants you to be able to get a divorce in the time it takes to buy a donut. It’s an online service. Both parties can invite all their friends and family to help duke out the details of the split. Donut Divorce makes money by taking 10 percent of any settlement that’s reached, which — in part — will be redistributed among the contributors. Of course, there’s point rewards and reputation systems and lots of web 2.0 bells an whistles.”
