Yep, that’s the LiveUniverse credo. Create a ton of fake comments on whatever news story that gets published about their latest desperate attempts to get attention. They’re like the Bai Ling of the Internet industry…absolutely no talent so they have to stoop to the lowest level to get some sort of story, then they flood the story with clearly fake comments posted by their own employees. It’s actually kind of funny and I look forward to seeing stories involving LiveUnivsere just because of this.

Dude, you totally work for LiveUniverse, name is Jeremy. Check out his profile on livevideo, not that anyone cares about that place. He’s the “community manager” whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean. I guess he coordinates the community of incoming porn traffic they pump into that joke of a site. This is so typical of that sinking ship that goes by the name of S.S. LiveUniverse. I hope you don’t go down with the crazy Capt. Greenspan!

#41, I guess you and the rest of your pals at Netvibes have nothing better to do.

Who knows the money involved but at least they were acquired. I give them a lot of credit. The product is easy to use. How to monetize it? I don’t know but it is easy to use.

@#38, That’s what everyone said about youtube in 06. Now Destiny’s Child and Disney stars are creating their own channels generating millions of views and building a more sustainable business model.

Just you wait.

Wow a lot of positive praise for PageFlakes here! Haven’t seen this much praise on the comment walls in a while it’s almost like LU had everyone comment here – where have I seen that before?

Oh yeah, that’s it.

@Jonathan,

out of previous contacts (as possible site manager for one of their properties) I do know that LU wants to keep sites independent, but use them to drive traffic to LV. They aren’t looking to integrate any properties in to LV, but want to use them and hopefully build LV as one of the main (brands) properties in the videosharing market.

Pageflakes has and continues to do great work. They led the way with shared start pages, which continues to be the reason I use it. I will be interested to see how LiveVideo will integrate their service.
