September 14, 2009BOKU Event: Metrics & Monetization
September 11, 2009Thanks to everyone who made Wednesday night’s event a success. A special thanks to Shay/TMA. The feedback we’ve received has blown us away and kudos go to the speakers who put together insightful presentations (and revealed a bunch of numbers):
* RockYou – Jia Shen
* MySpace – Rita Garg
* Meez – Sean Ryan
* Aeria Games – JT Nguyen
* Gambit – Noah Kagan
We’ve had a lot of requests for the presentations, and watched as guests furiously took notes (Did you get the list of countries where easy money can be made from Noah? Or, The formula for Free-to-Play success from JT?). While we aren’t going to post the presentations to the web, because of the sensitivity of some of the data and special sauce behind the companies, we are going to be hosting more events, so let us know if you’d like to be added to the guest-list.
Instead, here’s a peek behind the scenes into how we make the BOK’opters that were part of the giveaway competition. Mike Cahill (no relation to John from Meez – get well soon), from our engineering team, hand-makes each one with the able assistance of Trisha.
Congrats to the winners of the helicopter flying contest.
We’ll see you at the next event.
