And you’re not going to Gnomedex? What’s the issue? Would really suck not to see you there… We have some small projects we’re about to outsource (some coding, some not) if you’re interested…

Either way, the approach on this project is to give bloggers total freedom, total choice and to encourage these kinds of “networks” (in quotes for a reason) to coalesce quickly and easily – and hopefully for bloggers to make more money at the same time!

I’m interested in seeing what you have. Options are always good. I
think you were talking to Duncan about Gnomedex but if me… Its
looking less and less like I’ll be able to afford the trip.

Thanks for stopping by. I hate admitting when Mike Arrington is right.

While I’m assuming there’ll be no interest, I would like to note that we’re releasing tech later this year to allow all this to happen very seamlessly (and at no risk to member blogs, since they can set a minimum CPM and set a backup code … like their AdSense code).

And it also gives blogs access to a sales team which, per my post, is really the biggest challenge.

Again, I’m sure there’s little interest to work with me and b5 again, but I’d be happy to show you our plans at Gnomedex, and if you like it, to figure out a way to insulate you from the things you don’t like or agree with.

End of the day, what we’ll be launching doesnt’ lock bloggers in, doesnt’ require a commitment, gives bloggers full control and is designed to helping all bloggers (not just the biggest ones) make more money … without giving up their current revenue streams.

You make a lot of good points, and I do think that a network is probably the strongest positioning point for ad deals like you’re talking about. I have a lot of thoughts on this, and tomorrow, either at my domain or mashable there should be something showing up on this topic. There’s a lot to noodle here, and I’m enjoying watching this conversation unfold so publicly.
