We use uberprints.com. Very cool that you've seen them in the wild!

Thanks, I'm very proud of those graphs. :)

Wistia does support HTML5, it's just that the current implementation of tweetperview is not capturing the HTML5 version of the video. The video is currently being loading in an iFrame by tweetperview.

We'll reach out to those guys and see what we can do.

This is a man who understands why people buy stuff. Awesome to see him talk.

What a cool concept. I love it. Make one for rdio and I'm sold.

Thanks. It was made by Chris Lavigne at http://www.crlvideo.com He's UBER talented.

Thanks, we like yours too!

This is a great point and something that has been debated extensively over here. I've got a blog post coming to explain our reasoning.

(edit)

Here's my fresh blog post: http://savagethoughts.com/post/3772138359/whats-in-a-name

I shaved that morning, but I had to chop down a tree and fight a fire on my way into the office. The result: a 10am shadow.

These guys are truly and insanely driven. I can't wait to see how their personalities influence http://shelby.tv

Great article.

The author, Jonah Lehrer, has an amazing book on behavior economics that I considering a must read for anyone trying to sell anything. It's been incredibly valuable to us at Wistia. It's called "How We Decide".

Jonah always finds incredibly interesting ways to pull apart behavior from a neurological perspective.

The same rule definitely applies to images.

Great points. If you can figure out how to close one customer, determine what they're worth, and how much they cost, it becomes much easier to understand how to get the next customer.

Repeat this process over and over and you'll understand how to value a channel, which helps to approximate the value of the next channel and so on.

There's only way I know how to build a company. One customer at a time. Do it for long enough and you'll be fine.

Btw, checked out your startup. Looks cool. We talk to people sometimes who'd be a good fit for you. We should probably chat!

This is yet another unappreciated benefit of having a business model where someone is actually paying for something. You get to pay to get users.

Hey il,

Thanks for your feedback. The purpose of the post is not to say that one way is any better than the other. I was thinking about the differences between the two types of companies and trying to come up with a way to describe these differences.

You're right on that in general it's easier for a content site to get traffic then for a product site. But as you point out, a product can pay for traffic. Some would see the very fact that they can pay for traffic is a major advantage. Just my two cents here.

That said, your assumptions of my assumptions are also off. The 7 million impressions was the total number of impressions across different ads. That means that the site gets less that 7 million pageviews total. For easy comparison, I left this as is.
