The Revolution
So it was Howard's First Day ... I haven't listened yet, but the show did push past 5 commercial free hours...
Eli, I hope you did not read the NY tabs today ...
Instead of laying that $50 in Vegas at the beginning of the season on your team to win it all, why not spend it on Super Bowl tix options. What you ask? Buy options on your team making it to the big game and then you can purchase the tickets at face value, instead of the thousands it would cost at StubHub, a broker or scalper. But only those fans whose options mature correctly are eligible for tkts. Interesting idea, but what makes it even more interesting is the fact that you can buy and sell the options during the season just as if they were stocks, making money in the process. The company, Ticket Reserve, makes money by taking a 7-10% cut of every transaction, which, naturally, adds up to a pretty good business model for them. [Wired]
David Pouge of the Times discusses how he headed a panel discussing the iPod at CES. Among the executives was Dave Goldberg from Yahoo who claims that MusicMatch is more widely than iTunes? The only reason that is possible is because MusicMatch comes preinstalled on all new Dell PCs. There is no way more people are using MusicMatch than iTunes since everyone with an iPod has to use iTunes to sync up their device. Apple has about a 61% market share of portable MP3 players, the numbers just don’t add up Yahoo! [NYT]
