This is MIT - I'm surprised it ever needed to fit 2 :-).

@ailon - That still doesn't solve my problem because IT IS all fraud/misclicks. So unless the CPM is insanely low it still won't register any good calls. The only thing I can see mobile ads working for, as they currently are, is for downloa

Not sure how that would solve the problem unless the CPM is like $0.0001. Maybe they should do click to call tracking and set minimum call lengths to be billed - although that might mean AdMob doesn't make any $ b/c it's all mistakes/fraud.

It also sucks for advertisers. At least for my click to call campaign - it blew through about $500 (very cheap CPC too) in 10 mins and literally every call was a misclick - not 1 single good call.

Congrats on the milestone - by comparison how many does Orbitz & Kayak do? Anyone know?

Article loses credibility (imo) when it says Hurd was a worse hire than Fiorina. Hurd practically doubled the stock value for shareholders during his tenure and was considered an AMAZING CEO. Yeah, he disgraced HP a little with the sexual h

I'm guessing there was some pretty big performance (possibly profit) incentives for the founders and they knew they had no chance of hitting them. So their next option to cash everyone out and make a ton of $ was IPO.

Doesn't answer the question. Any hedge fund or large trading desk will have prop tools that are probably 100X better as they have unlimited $ to go after more data. Is the hobbyist going to be subscribing... doubtful. Cool idea, but small m

Especially if it's a tourist visiting Paris - in which case turn your tongue until they leave you alone.

I think state law pre-empts groupon's policy (Ca's law states it cannot expire unless the card is to multiple retailers and then it must clearly list the expiration date on it).

by suking 15y ago
You might want to look into any class actions against groupon for expiring. California has very favorable gift card laws and I think the court would agree this is a gift card.

Actually - I think if that is their problem it would be easier. Just stop marketing... new customers aren't worth anything. I, however, think it IS the new customers bringing in the revenue and the old customers not buying anything. They ne

I'm lost at what you're saying. It clearly states revenue per subscriber has dropped off a cliff to $9.

by suking 15y ago
Revenue per subscriber has absolutely tanked. AKA - people become stale and aren't buying so those marketing costs they were trying to hide as one time subscriber costs are going to be around forever.

I think them using that stat in the first place is at best extreme arrogance or total cluelessness and at worst outright fraud.

It has always admitted it's unprofitable - they dropped their BS accounting metric trying to show that with some magic they were making a profit. To be honest their filing reeked so bad and them trying to slip in that crap and not account f

Hmmm, thought I was right, but I suppose not - thanks. What about trademarks - you have to defend those, right?

@watchandwait: They could also stop customer acquisition temporarily to get costs in line at the risk of not growing. Better than going BK which seems possible given how much they are spending for each customer. Other companies have already

I am guessing they are getting the shit grilled out of them on their roadshow and I doubt it will help when these numbers come out showing huge losses.
