Comments on: Candidates Do not need “Obama Juice” or “Obama Tools” they just need a bit of cop on http://www.irishelection.com/2009/04/candidates-do-not-need-obama-juice-or-obama-tools-they-just-need-a-bit-of-cop-on/ Coverage of Irish Politics, News and Current Affairs Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:43:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Dan Sullivan http://www.irishelection.com/2009/04/candidates-do-not-need-obama-juice-or-obama-tools-they-just-need-a-bit-of-cop-on/comment-page-1/#comment-117884 Dan Sullivan Tue, 21 Apr 2009 11:01:10 +0000 http://www.irishelection.com/?p=5185#comment-117884 Allen, micandidate remind me a bit of the Evening Herald model for advertising revenue. If you were someone renting out a room you had to pay them for the placement of the ad, and if you were someone looking for a room you had to buy the Herald to read the ad. They were getting it from both sides, and frankly coining it. Now you just use Daft. So micandidate is basically an old world revenue model in a web 2.0 world. Good luck to them if they can get away with it, but who in Enterprise Ireland thought this model made for a High Potential Startup?
