Congrats on being up to $1M in revenue! That's an incredible accomplishment. Something 95% of Web 2.0 companies will probably never achieve. Ted - thanks for the update, and for stopping by.

One correction is that we're going to break $1M in revenue this year (I WISH it was earnings) and even that number doesn't seem to garner much interest. I think so many web app companies are so engineering-focused they've never put to much thought into the realities of the business-side and self-sustainable growth. Thanks for the complimentary words. It was a pleasure giving the presentation. It's funny I removed a slide about PlentyOfFish just before I went on as it didn't really reflect the passion-centric communities I was speaking on, but it does show that there is plenty of business to had beyond what the "experts" say are reasonable markets.
