TalkCrunch meets HotOrNot
TalkCrunch is an irregular series of interviews from Mike Arrington of TechCrunch. The latest interview is with James Hong, co-founder of HotOrNot, which I haven't heard anyone mention in five years.
It's a great interview, covering the start of the website (they sent an email to 40 friends and had 40000 hits by the end of the first day), monetising the site through subscription, moving on to free subscription and supported by advertising, dubious claims of 10 weddings a day caused through the site, their early use of virtual products (selling virtual flowers three years ago) and their new HotList product.
