His company <a href="http://www.thebroth.com/">TheBroth</a> created the enormously popular Barn Buddy facebook application. Over 3 million monthly active users for that app alone.<br /><br />With the runaway success of Barn Buddy, TheBroth is taking off. People are buying virtual fertilizer, livestock and all the other virtual goods you need to run a kick-ass virtual farm.<br /><br />The business model of selling virtual goods has existed for a number of years. The model is very popular in Korea where some of the largest Internet companies drive the majority of revenues through sales of virtual goods.<br /><br />Initially, Facebook games and other online game communities were banking on ad revenues for monetization. With the success of social networking game companies such as TheBroth and <a href="http://www.zynga.com/">Zynga</a>, virtual goods seems to offer a superior path to profitability. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/four-roadblocks-to-revenue-rich-zyngas-ipo-2009-6">Zynga has a number of hit apps on Facebook, and is expected to drive over $100 million in 2009 revenues.</a><br /><br /><p>People are spending hours a week Facebook, and have shown the willingness to pay real hard currency in order to enhance their game play. If the virtual goods monetization continues to thrive, it could save us all from being bombarded by ads while we are growing our virtual crops. This twist on the fremium model seems to be the breakout monetization strategy that social game companies are requiring to realize their full potential.</p>As these game providers grow their revenues, it will be interesting to see how Facebook and MySpace will respond. These platforms have had mixed success with targeted ads, and may want a piece of the action now that these app providers are making some serious dough.<br /><br />A vibrant virtual goods market is good news for Silicon Valley and the VC community. VC's have boldly invested millions of dollars in companies with distribution and traffic long before a sound monetization strategy was discovered. The bet is that the entrepreuners they are investing in will rapidly experiment until a clear monetization formula develops.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GetquikBlog" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="border:0"/></a><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GetquikBlog" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3635956318555808036-6974841606615479996?l=www.getquikblog.com'/></div>Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08328167608112061012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635956318555808036.post-7648377852316626312009-06-29T16:37:00.001-07:002009-06-29T17:00:11.951-07:00GetQuik Rewards - July 1, 2009 - Dec 31, 2009<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5dKOVjsztvM/SklT8e8A8eI/AAAAAAAAAnA/zXtgkYC5uoQ/s1600-h/disneyland1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352901930668585442" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 138px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5dKOVjsztvM/SklT8e8A8eI/AAAAAAAAAnA/zXtgkYC5uoQ/s320/disneyland1.jpg" border="0" /></a>Back by popular demand, GetQuik rewards. <a href="http://getquik.com/Pages/Common/Rewards2.aspx">http://getquik.com/Pages/Common/Rewards2.aspx</a> <div><br /><div>It is also time to cash in on your 1st half 2009 points. <a href="http://getquik.com/Pages/Common/Rewards1.aspx">http://getquik.com/Pages/Common/Rewards1.aspx</a> If you qualify for a reward, let us know what you want at <a href="mailto:support@getquik.com">support@getquik.com</a>.

while greatly simplifying the number of different products Apple offered.  This was well before the iPod, iTunes or iPhone for that matter.  By reducing the product line complexity and offering a product that people wanted, Apple was able to stop hemoraging cash.  Once they got on better financial footing, they were able to focus on innovation new products and service.  The rest is history.</div><div><br /></div><div>With the $30 billion in federal investment, GM has a second chance to get it right.  Now that they have finally ceded the position as top sales leader, perhaps they should focus on the metric that matters most - positive cash flow.  Now that much of the union contracts have been revised, and the expected sales volume are significantly lower, there is reason to believe it can be done.  The many missteps that GM has taken do not provide much comfort.  Yet, if GM had the right leadership, they could make a revival.  Too bad Steve Jobs is busy already. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GetquikBlog" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="border:0"/></a><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GetquikBlog" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3635956318555808036-4615054634182092681?l=www.getquikblog.com'/></div>Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08328167608112061012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635956318555808036.post-27073100241939667072009-05-31T21:01:00.000-07:002009-05-31T21:38:35.638-07:00GetQuik Reviews Relaunch - Alpha<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5dKOVjsztvM/SiNZr7gR2jI/AAAAAAAAAmI/EywUhgI8Dvs/s1600-h/getquikreviewsalpha.jpg"><img style="float:left;

He conveniently forgot that today was the day for his hair consultation.<br /><br />We took Manu down to the Monterey Academy of Hair Design in Santa Clara to get their recommendation. Although Manu was game for a full bleach and hair coloring, we were advised to go with streaks instead. The treatment is less intense. Bleaching thick, black hair can take a while and can damage the hair and scalp. So after taking their advise and $44 dollars later, Manu was ready to go. We were assigned to Tony, who was a hair dye virgin prior to Manu.<br /><br />Tony had plenty of help as many of the other beauticians were interested in Manu's unusual request. The first step was the bleach treatment. They grabbed a few long strands of Manu's hair, applied the bleach, and wrapped the treated hair in aluminum foil. To accelerate the bleaching process, they put Manu under the hair dryer. The bleach process took about an hour and a half. After removing the foil and a shampoo treatment, Manu was ready for the red dye. The red dye application took around 30 minutes. After another rinse, and a blow dry, Manu was done. Although it is clear that something is different about Manu's hair, we were hoping for a more shocking result. If we were to do this again, we would have gone for the full hair bleach and color application. Manu was a good sport, and he will have 4-6 weeks of red streaks to enjoy.<br /><br />Peter elected to get his hair dyed even though he won the contest. Peter's treatment was considerably simplier. Since he was going for a brown coloring without as much of a permanent coloring, Peter was able to simply have a hair dye applied. After 30-45 minutes, a rinse and blow dry, Peter had brown hair. Not sure how long it will last, but we'll see. Peter's dye job ran $30, but actually seems to be more obvious than Manu's coloring.<br /><br />Our recommendations after the afternoon outing. For those with black hair looking to really look freaky, go for a full head bleach and coloring. The team at Monterey Academy of Hair were really friendly. The prices are about right, but keep in mind these folks are in training. If you know what you want, be sure to be specific about your request. Since we have no clue about the process of hair dyeing, we were a little out of element in explaining our needs. It was a fun contest, but it's nice to be done with it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GetquikBlog" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="border:0"/></a><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GetquikBlog" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3635956318555808036-6300337243001365575?l=www.getquikblog.com'/></div>Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08328167608112061012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635956318555808036.post-87288222756090235082009-05-21T21:17:00.000-07:002009-05-21T21:48:46.024-07:00Take Me Out to the Ball Game<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5dKOVjsztvM/ShYuZVcWqCI/AAAAAAAAAlw/rV_kjiGXtF8/s1600-h/sjgiants.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 262px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5dKOVjsztvM/ShYuZVcWqCI/AAAAAAAAAlw/rV_kjiGXtF8/s320/sjgiants.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338505421081978914" border="0" /></a>We took a short field trip out to the SJ Giants ballpark. It was the first time for Peter and Irina to see a live baseball game. Peter liked the between innings promos best, while Irina was less interested. Sorry Irina, hockey season is over.<br /><br />The Inland Empire 66er's dominated the game. They ended up winning 8-4. Highlights included an innings where the Giants catcher had two passed ball (wild pitches?), one air-mailed throw into the outfield on a steal of 3rd, and another runner stealing third. Not his proudest defensive effort I'm sure. I don't recall his name, but apparently he is not the everyday catcher. Buster Posey was DH'ing for the Giants, and he crushed a home run to left field.<br /><br />This being my first SJ Giants game, here are my tips for those looking to check out the SJ team.<br /><br /><ol><li>You can often get free tickets at certain SJ Giants sponsors such as Orchard Supply Hardware store.</li><li>There is NO sun protection. If you get a sunny day, bring your shades, sunblock and a sun umbrella. Irina wilted in the sun after 20 minutes and spent the rest of the time in the shaded tunnel.</li><li>Concessions are quite reasonably priced, though the service tends to be s l o w. They do take credit card. They fill the beers to the top without a lid and only serve two beers per person at a time. Have your friends help you carry beverages back to the seats.</li><li>Unlike some parks and movie theaters, the SJ Giants concession folks drown the nachos in a lake of cheese. You could easily bring a few small bags of tortilla chips and still have tons of cheese left over. Seriously, it is pretty insane.</li><li>The pitches are clocked, so look up in left field and you'll see the scoreboard showing the mph of the pitches under the Adobe sign.</li></ol><br />Observation regarding the difference between single A and the big leagues:<br /><br />The thing that seems to be the key difference between the Giants games to the north, is the pitcher's control is not there. Plenty of wild pitches, passed balls and walks. The hurlers can get it up there at speeds over 90 mph, but they have trouble finding home plate at times. On the offensive side, the batters are able to hit pitches up to 91 without much trouble, but they are a little behind in pitches 93 and up. Also, many of the guys are susceptible to off-speed pitches. They are often chasing balls well out of the strike zone.<br /><br />Clearly some excellent athletes and raw talent, but you can see why it is so hard to compete at a big league level. Buster Posey was impressive, so hopefully he will continue to develop since the SF Giants are in desperate need of some offensive slugging power. Watching these excellent baseball talent provides an interesting prospective on just how good the pros are. I'll be appreciating the little things the pros excel in more that I can see how hard this seemingly simple game is.<br /><br />All in all, a fun outing. Here's a breakdown on the cost of the excursion:<br /><br />- 5 Tickets (free - from Osh),<br />- Parking (free - we got there late so I think we got lucky on that aspect),<br />- 5 beers (LJ got the bonus beer), 2 hotdogs, 2 polish sausages, one regular nachos, one super nachos (HUGE) - $54.50.<br /><br />Total Cost for 5 people - $54.50.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GetquikBlog" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="border:0"/></a><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GetquikBlog" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3635956318555808036-8728822275609023508?l=www.getquikblog.com'/></div>Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08328167608112061012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635956318555808036.post-52450146335008586332009-05-20T21:21:00.000-07:002009-05-20T21:52:19.969-07:00The Streak is Over!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5dKOVjsztvM/ShTdC6_X2qI/AAAAAAAAAlY/MytgXQVxiZQ/s1600-h/opentable.GIF"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 210px; height: 34px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5dKOVjsztvM/ShTdC6_X2qI/AAAAAAAAAlY/MytgXQVxiZQ/s320/opentable.GIF" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338134500605418146" /></a>A little rain is failing in the desert that is the Bay Area IPO market.  OPEN is coming!

Manu and Peter are our beloved <a href="http://www.overseas.nus.edu.sg/">National University of Singapore</a> interns. The prestigious university has an entrepreneurial program and exchange with Stanford University. <a href="http://www.getquik.com/">GetQuik</a> has been an active sponsor and advocate of the NUS NOC program.<br /><br />Manu and Peter are dueling to determine who will be victor and who will be wearing his head in shame. The color of the head (hair) is yet to be determined, but we should have the color options listed shortly.<br /><br />The Challenge:<br />Manu and Peter will be presenting their project results and presentations to the GetQuik team - Friday May 15th. Manu and Peter have been tasked with educating, marketing, and improving the usability and awareness of our merchant partner's GetQuik menus.<br /><br />The Format:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Manu-Mohan/227701068">Manu</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Loh-Kai-Hui/719060064">Peter</a> will be given 10 minutes to present the concept, implementation and results of their projects.<br /><br />The Judgement:<br />The GetQuik team will caucus and determine who has come up with the best project, plan and results. Judgement day is Friday, May 15th 2009.<br /><br />The Consequences:<br />To the victor, bragging rights. To the vanquished, a new colorful head of hair. If we generate enough interest, we'll videotape and post results and the beauty treatment.<br /><br />Good luck and may the best man-tern win.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GetquikBlog" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon32x32.png" alt="" style="border:0"/></a><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/GetquikBlog" title="Subscribe to my feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3635956318555808036-6080924784832890825?l=www.getquikblog.com'/></div>Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08328167608112061012noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635956318555808036.post-33320402137422464482009-04-27T14:25:00.000-07:002009-04-27T14:37:53.756-07:00Hiring for Data Entry Position<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5dKOVjsztvM/SfYlmSBZXgI/AAAAAAAAAjY/DXXOoJMEw_c/s1600-h/helpwanted.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 109px; height: 131px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5dKOVjsztvM/SfYlmSBZXgI/AAAAAAAAAjY/DXXOoJMEw_c/s320/helpwanted.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329488548642512386" border="0" /></a><br />GetQuik is hiring for a data entry position.<br /><br />We have hundreds of restaurants whose menus are listed on our <a href="http://www.getquik.com/">web-site</a>.
