I spoke on a panel at the OMMA Publish event in New York City this week. The session, titled "The Payment Plan: Pipe Dream or Promise?" explored the business feasibility of monetizing web content via direct user payments. hi5 was unique among the publishers represented on the panel in that we feature game content on our site, which, through its interactivity, affords new ways of collecting micro-payments from users.
Some coverage ran in MediaPost, the sponsor of the event. While in New York, I also met with Nicholas Carlson at Silicon Alley Insider -- who ran this interesting post on hi5 after our conversation.
