A lot of people don’t know how to monetize social networks, at least Newegg does!

Clearly the people who post regularly on TechCrunch know a lot about the tech industry. They all run their own companies, hell they all sold 3 companies to Google already. They post here to share their wisdom and hard earned success tips, not out of some overpowering inferiority complex.

It’s hilarious how you fail to recognize that you’re nothing more than a pathetic wannabe with all your know-it-all bluster. Troy is just a schmuck? How should we label you then, other than a self-delusional looser?

I think you have a few names confused. David Moore was (and is) the the founder of 24/7 – he is still the CEO under WPP. David Morgan is the founder of Tacoda. So they are not the same person.

I am neither affiliated with Square Ventures or Tacoda so there is no bad blood or angst from my perspective. What I have is keen insights into the inner workings of the Video ad market and the ad network world. My experience and knowledge tells me that VideoEgg is not in a position to succeed. Whether its due to their constant change of focus, their myopic understanding of the ad market or the fact that the in-video space is not yet able to support a company with a burn rate in the mid 7 figures; what I am trying to get across is that these children have no place at the head of the table.

For some reason this company is always in the spotlight even though they are neither innovators or industry leaders.

That’s all…

Anyhow – I shot a 76 today so I am quite happy with my afternoon spent on the links. How was your afternoon?

Moreover, I don’t believe in the Cost-per-Engagement ads. Cost-per-K-impression ads work because advertisers want their brands in front of the user. So, they pay for every chance to be in front of the user. In that sense, CPE ads are similar to CPM — as the brands do get displayed to the user in a fancy video format. Only the publisher doesn’t get paid if the user doesn’t specifically engage with the ad. Take an example of the NBA ad. Do you really need the user to engage with the ad to send the message?

Find it quite interesting that you mention 24/7 Media. Didn’t Dave Morgan and Gil found that company? The same Dave and Gil that founded Tacoda and sold AOL a bill of goods by stealing another company’s patented technology and selling it as their own for $275 million and is being sued because of it??? I now clearly understand the angst in your prior post. It’s quite personal.

Ironically it also appears that Troy is indicating you have an association with Union Square Ventures? Say it isn’t so! Isn’t this the same Union Square Ventures that funded Tacoda??? The same group that all slapped each other on the back along with Morgan when it was sold to AOL???

I get it now. Maybe you could tell us how many millions were held back by AOL from all of your checks pending resolution of the patent litigation suit?

I guess if I were able to profit millions by selling a company with no proprietary or patented technology, that another small company rightfully owned and invented, I too perhaps would share the same arrogance you’ve so graciously displayed to all of us here.

Its been fun Troy but I have a tee time to make

Of to the links!
