Yahoo to unveil Platinum paid service
~ Nexus
Fake quote:
Seeing the success enjoyed by the domain marketeering website DNForum during its recent transition to a paid membership model, Yahoo has decided to try the waters themselves. "We're shifting from providing users with information on entertainment to providing entertainment," said David Mandelbrot, Yahoo's vice president and general manager of media, entertainment, information and finance.
We're carefully seeding our service with polite jabs encouraging non-paying members to "get with it" and go plantinum! We've hired independant surfers to go into our Yahoo Groups with large "Platinum" plates under their name berating all the deadbeats into making their presence more worth our while.
"Greg Ricks of DNForum.com and PerfectName.com is a marketing genius, and we're only too happy to follow his example!"
