I just hope that when this coup is pulled off. IM quotes, "Theirs your shockwave" |

I agree, I am sure the Blackbird team know exactly what they are doing. They must do. They know that they really need to get this right if they are to achieve their objective.
Their detailed plan will be ready to go, and they will ammend it as necessary as they go along.
As NickB says, they may end up going for plan B if a big player steps forward with an acceptable offer. |

Agree.
Ian has said it was about testing and collecting data.
Anyway we are perhaps only after one very big subscriber now 😀 |
I’d agree with that. |
i personally think the current users are wanted purely to test the system at a reasonable scale .... i suspect most current uses will have zero interest in paying. i'm pretty sure IM knows this, those that will pay have not been targeted with advertising yet, there is no point getting them before their needs are actually met by the product.
any current activity on socials is just getting us bedded in ... it will only start properly when the pay product is launched, to do so before i think is counter productive. |
Yeh I agree can become pricey and best to save til later. It may be that for now they’re using cheap keywords like “free video editor” just to test the scaling, knowing that they’re harder to convert to paid later. |
Fair, but still waiting to see an ad on another platform, in the wild.
I also think that Google Ads will be pricey for the best search terms, therefore it is probably worth saving that avenue until we have a payment gateway. |
Well, they are at the moment.
But that might change.
I'd be happy with, and surprised with, if 10k or 25% of the registered users are actually users. |

Scenery our ‘closest competitor’ only works on Chrome, well before they closed down. |
Thx Bonio. Hope many more start asking for stuff, a good sign (better than radio silence). |
The pound is not particularly weak against the USDollar, where it is currently at it's average over the past five years.
Against the Euro the pound is stronger than it's 5 year average. |
I assume making "America great again"(whatever that means!) could include taking out all the opposition.
Maybe US companies will be encouraged to reduce there cash reserves by picking up potential competitors and patent portfolios |
The £ is weak, so I assume that makes UK based businesses appear cheap as well. |
The time to buy is at maximum despondency and despair.
AIM has an eps growth rate of just under twice the main market. |
 The long game or the short game, which one will the Bird follow:
"Takeovers of London-listed companies are shrinking the UK stock market at the fastest pace in more than a decade.
About 45 companies have delisted from the London market this year due to mergers and acquisitions, up 10% from the tally for all of last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That’s the highest number of firms to leave the market since 2010, and comes as the volume of deals targeting UK companies jumps 81% this year to more than $160 billion.
Foreign private equity firms have been particularly active, with US-based Starwood Capital Group closing its £674 million ($852 million) acquisition of London-listed Balanced Commercial Property Trust Ltd. last month. Sweden’s EQT AB also completed its £2.1 billion takeover of videogame services company Keywords Studios Plc in recent weeks, while Thoma Bravo finished its $5.3 billion purchase of cybersecurity software provider Darktrace Plc.
The moves show how the British stock market remains popular with bargain hunters, with UK equities now trading at a record discount of more than 40% to global peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A number of the targets have been mid-cap firms listed on London’s AIM market, where companies often have thin trading volumes and little analyst coverage." |
I thought that the team suggested they were working on Safari integration
I think this is probably important if going alone
Not so important if we are going to be acquired maybe other plans |
