SOP.
Do for me. Now do for me some more. Now.....

sorry you missed the point. i was telling him how to use the internet to kill the market, not what to do for me. true, id benefit, but thats a tangential consequence. youll note from his response that he thinks it would be too expensive--which i can not challenge, since i have not done the study he did. but, he did acknowledge the benefit to his franchise, which if you really think about it is irrefutable.

personally, what i would do (since you asked) is try to find someone who could do the programming, and offer him an equity position in my company--a reasonable one, not huge. you wouldnt even have to hire him/her.
