b3tahey ho Rob.. How bout making b3ta a subscription based site? I know that sounds wanky but it may work (i'd pay anyway).. Sites like the friday thing are doing OK out of it (again, i've handed over a tenner in order to get 1 email a week)..
Failing that, maybe channelfly would be interested (the peeps who own popex)..
Just some thoughts.. (Im only able to have 2 a day, and there they are)
(damn, just spilled coffee on me spanking new laptop. BASTARD!)

ntk? whats that mean?Yeah, I heard of TFT before they asked me to pay to listen to their shite (actually quite a lot of b3ta stuff turns up in their "sites of the week")
There was an ariticle in the guardian (I think) about TFT being one of the few sites that are actually raking in the cash since they went subs based.. lucky sods...

I'm curious about themI was suprised to learn that they'd built their subs to 45,000 with very little mention of them on the web.

yeahthey seemed to get the punters in purely by word of mouth.. interesting to see that happening.. but then again, £450,000 PA with no advertising? More power to them I say...

my point is that "word of mouth" on the web equates topersonal email
AND
Usenet, message boards, & blogs.
