Comments on: Still Hope for iHype? http://www.jerrydrussell.com/still-hope-for-ihype/ It starts with an idea. It's what you do with that idea that matters Thu, 22 Jul 2010 22:35:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Vlad http://www.jerrydrussell.com/still-hope-for-ihype/comment-page-1/#comment-359 Vlad Sat, 27 Dec 2008 17:41:21 +0000 http://www.jerrydrussell.com/?p=506#comment-359 Jerry, I know I will sound like a hypocrite since once upon a time I have managed to make a few dollars with paid reviews. My legal fees associated with the things that gone awry on one of such sponsored post proved to me that sponsored and paid reviews is a very shortsighted strategy if blogging is your long term plan. Wish you much luck with iHype. Happy New Year to you as well! Jerry,

Wish you much luck with iHype.

Happy New Year to you as well!

His levelheadedness and his ability to take bad press and turn it into a very good thing are sheer genius. I think that the PR people and CEO oat DotneXt could learn a lot from simply studying how Ted handled what came his way. As a matter of fact I think it should be taught in marketing classes. Concerning DotneXt, It's a good bet that the original staff from Brabus is still with him in the DotNext era, so it is feasible that he simply blurs the distinction between companies. it's easy to do if you have only changed names, not staff. And yes, I'm trying to stay out of the firestorm. What I cover here is methods of making money. If DotneXt can get iHype rolling, then regardless of anything else, it's a viable way to add a few dollars to a bank account. If not, I'll report when and if the site goes offline. Here's wishing you a prosperous, happy and uneventful new year! Vlad,

However if you think of Ted Murphy and how he handled the criticism by TechCrunch and others founders of iHype have long way to measure up to some one like Ted Murphy. As far as DontNextInc second anniversary goes their website was registered only two or three months ago. Hard to believe that an company that focuses on internet stratups would choose to exists without a website for 19 months. Jerry,
