When we talk to customers, we hear about these pain points. However, that's really a device from the 1800's with a screen, and that didn't seem like the way to go. Plus, we've hired a new CTO and CRO to help grow the tech and business side. We're really growing our customer relations.

We had a pretty simple screen, and it had a circle, and it told you how many minutes you were active. So you write your hypothesis on what’s called a business canvas model and then you go talk to your potential customer. We had to talk to at least 100 customers throughout. I would say, put your customers first.

We''ve got a grid of 500 nodes, handling a billion and a half clicks and call impressions, which we drive for our customers. An example of that, is we have a product in alpha in a couple of our markets, where, in real time, a user can fill out a form and it goes out to the top five service providers who we already have vetted and screened.

Once you get to 300-500 customers, it blows up, because it was never intended to scale. Instead, we do this for about a $1000 for a site, in HD quality, supporting eight to 10 participants on a 48- or 52-inch screen. The technology is really what sets us apart from our competitors, who are mostly resellers of someone else's technology.

The best-performing ads are often custom, high-impact rich media ads that integrate seamlessly into a publisher’s content with interactivity, video and other features. The Interactive Advertising Bureau defined a set of rich media units rooted in familiar ad sizes and called them Rising Stars.

Notice also that on the user screen (Alan Edgett), you can give a badge, vote for Alan, request an endorsement, send a message or give an endorsement. Possibly too easy as it likely devalues them a bit. More on this below. You can either first choose a badge and then award it or choose a user and award a badge. Too Much Social Interaction?
