David: quit Yahoo! 8 months ago because he was tired of talking impressions and clicks; decided to go to ExpoTV and create new set of metrics.

The Consumer Voice Goes Beyond Technology. We have 280,000 videos that we never asked for. There are videos for anything that is available nationally.

ExpoTV: 85% of the videos skew positive while 15% are negative or nuteral; we don’t look at videos for sentiment but we do check them for profanity or syncing issues. We copensate for every video they upload ($2.00 – $5.00 per video).

Built unbiased profile of users Brands can use.
