If this is Belk CEO Blog, Then I have somthing to say> I have a daughter who works for Belk She enjoys the job, but I think your supervisors dont care about her. Why you say? There is a Hurricane hitting Mississippi. Gustof. Well, my daughter had to evacuate. Your supervisors called her today 1 SEP and told her to work on 2 sep. Well they are asking her to drive 3 hr while there is a curfew risking being arrested. Thru feeder bads of rain. If somthings happens to her I will sue the #$%^ out of Belks

Matt, it's true that both Like and This Next show promise and a potential for profitability. Their traffic levels, at this point, are fairly low compared to others in the space. We've also done some similar analysis at Shopatron, looking at how consumer brands can build brand and drive sales using the social shopping space.

Matt,

Aren't you falling for it! Anybody can buy traffic from Google now and Like.com is no exception.

You really want to compare revenues: ask Like and ThinkNext to reveal Gross Revenues (Revenue - CPC costs paid to Google). Google reports something like this in their financials. They call it "traffic acquisition costs". All Web 2.0 companies should be reporting this if they want to be truthful about revenues.
