I believe the working title was “Rising” at Yahoo. I believe editorial is also under the impression that Yahoo retains the rights. Looking forward to this one playing out.

Terry Semel has lost it like his buddy Lloyd Braun on Seinfeld. I bet he’s working the phone and after he hangs up, telling Spielberg with a big smile, “We’ve got another Ghost partner lined up, Mr. Spielberg!”. Meanwhile the phone is unplugged. Spielberg will be doing “Serenity Nows” any time now.

Seriously, though, how many American icons can Semel take down? First Yahoo, now Spielberg. Hoochie mama!!

Interesting. I’ve never really come across a social network or a site featuring supernatural subjects backed up by big time people in the industry. Steven Spielberg and Terry Semel no less. I’m curious to see how this all turns out. Will it be successful or will it just turn into a flop?

It’s possible that the venture will be Ghosts.com which has an interesting whois: http://whois.do....com/ghosts.com

While, at the surface, it seems to be just a hobbyist site the admin contact belongs to Sirius, so who knows…

Who am I to doubt Spielberg, but this reminded me of when Lou Dobbs left CNN to join Space.com in round 1.

the old wolf Spielberg is running out of ideas.
if he just retired he’d have had a much more glorious exit.
too bad he got into it

one way to make a vital company into a ghost is to add Semel to it
