Wopular, Rotten Tomatoes | featured news

Working at Rotten Tomatoes kinda messed up my general view of advertising trends. The movie season peaks during Summer, takes a nosedive during Fall, heads back up during the Winter arounds Oscars, and levels off again during Spring. It’s a bit different from what I’ve experienced so far with Wopular, which is probably more in tune with the average website.

I did an Interview for IndyBizShow.com, a new business site focused on independent entrepreneurs. It’s created by Sean Saulsbury, the co-founder of BoxOfficeMojo.com. I talked about - what else - Rotten Tomatoes and briefly about Wopular.com.

Look, it's a big muck shot of your editor. That's a caricature of me drawn by an artist from CPU magazine for an interview I did in 2005 regarding IGN's acquisition of Rotten Tomatoes. It's an interesting read, in light of today's announcement, because it talks about the struggles during the internet crash, the IGN acquisition, and the future plans for Rotten Tomatoes (and myself). Rotten Tomatoes has user ratings now, but still no critics matching, and film school for me is still being pushed back.
