2Web Crew #10 - Yaro Starak from BlogTrafficKing.com
July 19th, 2006Yaro Starak has been an internet entrepreneur almost since he left school. These days he runs a number of blogs, teaching people how to increase their traffic and then how to monetize it. Listen in as Richard Giles and I chat with him about how he got started in his first businesses and ask him for advise on how to make a buck out of blogging.
2Web Crew #9 - Chris Saad from Touchstone
July 9th, 2006Chris Saad is one of the principals of Touchstone, which is described as:
a client-side Attention Management Engine that aims to become the defacto platform through which Attention Data (from multiple sources) is combined with user defined presentation rules in order to send change notifications, updates, alerts and content to a user while they are being productive with other things (I.e. without the need for them to bury their head in a news reader or web browser).
If you need that translated, visit the Touchstone site. On this interview, Chris talks a bit about his background before Touchstone (he started his first company straight out of high school), the ideas behind Touchstone, their ambitions, and what it’s like running a tech startup out of Bris-vegas (that’s Brisbane, Queensland, for those of you who aren’t Aussies).
2web Crew #8 - Markus Frind of Plentyoffish.com

Duncan Riley and Richard Giles talk with Markus Frind from Plentyoffish.com, the largest free dating site in the world with over 15 million pageviews a day.
Markus is a one man show, earning $10,000 a day from Google’s Adsense. In fact, he mentioned after the show that that number is now dated. We discuss his business, how he runs it on only several Window’s systems (Microsoft’s perfect advertisement), Adsense, SEO’s getting into web sites development, his web design (or lack of), and the normal question about whether it’s a good time to start a web business.
Apologize upfront. I’m still stunned at his success, so I spent most of the conversation sounding as such, and Duncan was under the weather with a sick child at home, so he was a little distracted. There was also a strange echo on the line, but you get the gist.

Today’s show is hosted by the 2Web mafia Ben Barren, Duncan Riley, Richard Giles, Alan Jones, Martin Wells and myself, Cameron Reilly. BUT… we can only get 5 people at a time onto a Skype conference call (because my Tablet PC is not running an Intel Dual Core processor), so they come and go…
This week on the show, some of the boys (mostly Ben and Duncan) get all hetted up over Caterina from Flickr’s post about whether or not it is too late to start a Web2.0 business…. then we talk about David Richard’s post about Microsoft needing to re-write 60% of the code in Windows Asta La Vista…
Who are the 2Web Crew?
March 26th, 20062Web.com.au is a network of Aussie Web2.0 entrepreneurs who like to fill up each others inboxes with pontifications about the nature of funding, CTRs, sub-continent development deals and how much they miss a good salary package. The earliest shows were published on the G’Day World site but it took on a life of its own so it needed its own site.
Here are the links to the first three shows:
