Yet, my question for you all along is what is different this time around? You have yet to answer that question. As far as I can tell, nothing is different. Furthermore, you have failed to explain how your service is going to increase engagement for advertisers? Basically, you are selling them un-targeted media that can be easily gamed. I don't think that is going to increase my sales or build any loyalty. I've tried to sign up for your alpha, to no avail, why not give me a tour? David

Good luck with your product - I'm interested in finding out how you might avoid people gaming Gomper using clickstream replayers. @Admin - just a note to correct a mistake in your 12.15.09 at 3:09 pm posting - Neither Wright brother died in an airplane crash. Wilbur (the older) died of typhoid fever in 1912, probably exacerbated by a patent war with Glen Curtiss. Orville died from a heart attack in 1948, if Wikipedia is to be believed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers Good luck!

That's just it. Measurable interaction from who? From media companies? from ad sales reps? No, from consumers...and they're demanding it because they don't get enough of it any more from their traditional advertising buys. Advertisers, via the new technology available, are learning to buy audiences who can take action, rather than buying media companies that herd eyeballs. Media companies are losing their ability to demonstrate efficient interaction. It's no longer in their control. It's in the control of consumers. In other words, if you want measurable interaction with consumers, you'll be a lot better off if you fairly compensate consumers. Yes, advertisers are demanding some sort of measurable interaction.

History is littered with successful businesses that followed in the footsteps of failed first efforts. Visicalc didn't make it, but it didn't stop MS Excel from being a massive success. One of the Wright Bros died in a plane crash. Yet somehow, aviation became a big industry. Hey Jonas….for starters, the world is a very different place.
