If you bothered to look at their site you would notice they have plenty of sponsors who are advertising. Actually, unlike your blog which has an empty ad “Advertise on GigaOm” – all their ad slots are filled.

Maybe you should stop crapping on other start-ups and focus on doing your homework, then maybe I will actually read this stupid blog more than once every three months. Then maybe you guys will have some revenue.

I can’t believe GigaOM, which is a media company is calling into question how another media company could possibly make money.

You might check again. We have lots of corporate clients. Seagate sponsored my show (and is paying me a good amount to do it).</p> <p>But, you're right.

But, you’re right. VCs are expecting a good revenue story and our VCs are the best in the business.

They took $5 million from a top tier VC. The VC will expect 10x their money back over the expected 3-5 years before liquidity. Let's assume the VC took 25% of the company. 10x their money is of course $50 million. That means Podtech needs to see be worth at least $200 million for the VC's to cash out at the level they EXPECT. (Not taking into account future funding rounds and dilution). Furrier, the Scobles and everyone else there had darn well better figure out how to be worth $200 million (market cap-wise) from what is essentially no revenue.</p> Podtech needs to do more than make money.
