I was interested today on how tumblr makes money. Turns out they don’t at this stage. But there is a possibility that this year they will be charging for premium services… Also this is posted via AIM so be interesting to see how this turns out. I’d probably make a fair bet that as per this article…
Interesting statement here. I’m not sure that it comes across the way way Mr. Karp wanted it to, but if it’s possible then good for them.
The only revenue streams that I have seen thus far have come from its directory and that is MIA now thanks to the new “Explore” function. A function that I like, but am not crazy about.
My biggest question to Tumblr is this: If you could make this money, then how long do you have before you have to make this money?
First, let’s recap, with a heavy dose of paraphrasing.
Jim Lynch, last week: “This Safari Reader stuff is bullshit. It’s going to cannibalize advertising revenue right across the web, and it will be a nightmare for publishers who are, after all, entitled to that revenue by virtue of the mere…
And I still haven’t had like, a single second of “me” time.
Got skinny jeans and tshirts to wear for work, socks, panties, and touch-up powder for halfway through my shift at work. And a tank top. But basically every thing else was crap I needed for work.
I also ate entirely too much food. I can…
(NEW YORK) — As investigators in Egypt begin the hunt for Hosni Mubarak’s fortune, the former president’s involvement in an early 1980s arms scandal could provide clues to how he and his family amassed their estimated billions through decades of alleged kickback schemes and corrupt business dealings.
The scandal revolved around a federal probe into allegations that a firm transporting American arms to Egypt had embezzled millions of dollars under an exclusive Pentagon contract established following the historic Camp David peace agreement with Israel in 1978.
“There were many, many weapons, and billions of dollars in armaments that needed to be shipped. It was an enormous job,” said Ibrahim Oweiss, a Georgetown University professor and an economist who headed Egypt’s economic mission to the U.S. at the time.
Within three years of founding a company known as the Egyptian American Transport and Service, or EATSCO, an Egyptian businessman named Hussein Salem and his American partner were under federal investigation on charges they ripped off the U.S. government by padding the shipping costs for the arms by $8 million.
“Hussein was the façade for the Mubarak family,” said Oweiss, who met Salem around that time and knew of his ties to the Egyptian intelligence community and Mubarak’s brother-in-law, then a top Egyptian military procurement official.
Salem pleaded guilty to the charges, and agreed to reimburse $3 million to the U.S. government and pay a $40,000 fine, according to news reports. He went on to become one of Mubarak’s closest confidantes and a successful businessman with interests in Egypt’s natural gas industry as well as hotel and resort holdings, including the Sharm-el-Sheikh resort where Mubarak now lives full-time…Keep Reading on ABC News Radio

(NEW YORK) — The weather’s getting warmer and that means your monthly energy costs are almost certain to rise.
The average household spends about $2,000 a year on utility bills, but as Mark Solheim of Kiplinger’s Personal Financesays, “there are a number of things you can do to save hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”
“We recommend you start with an energy audit,” he says.
You can find out more online by visiting EnergyStar.gov and clicking on home energy yardstick.
“If you have a year’s worth of energy bills you can plug them in, crunch the numbers, see what you’re paying in your area compared with others,” says Solheim.
He also says to consider a private energy audit, energy star appliances and better home insulation.
