What I cover (in case you don’t want to listen to 12minutes of me rambling…)
-Like.com is for women.
-Like.com offers an incredibly rich and unique shopping experience for soft goods which is completely different than what’s currently being offered (by the shopping comparison engines)
-Like.com is not going to make a ton of money off of being a super-affiliate, but the site should launch a visual adsense program where webmasters could put a clickable box around a product in a photo and earn revenue if Like.com earns a commission or any click fees from that referral.
-Like.com should roll up all the fashion oriented blogs and dominate the market…if anyone searches for any fashion/style oriented product, Riya should be there.
-I think Like.com is a window shopper’s paradise…I have a feeling page views per user is very very high. Like.com should add graphical advertising.
-Sadly, I’ve joined the web 2.0 gravy train and say that Like shouldn’t worry about monetization right now…just worry more about page views (thus the blog roll up).

Brian,
We are honored to be your first podcast.
Good luck with this project. And thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts about like.com. As always it’s great to get your perspective.
I never thought I’d see you join the Web 2.0 gravy train, but, as you well know, I know a little bit about direct responce marketing. As I said on my blog when I moved from LowerMyBills.com to Riya:
This should be fun and interesting to figure out!
Thank you again for the review.
