I believe we do see a certain type of guidance on a daily basis. I'm referring to user count/page views. However, the above two streams of data are instructive but are not sufficient to fuel PPS movement or serve as true guidance.
I believe most any other company would likely opt to keep above numbers unavailable to the public. Instead these milestones would be main cogs of regular PR campaign. For years now, BUNM management has allowed us real-time to see growth of the property.
In the open letter to BUNM Management I intend to persuade management why it's vital that they better engage the shareholder community with regular and meaningful updates. The current PPS truly is too-low for a company with a Web reach approaching 2.1 million!!
While no one is rationally is contending this co. today is worth .01 + this realm would not be out of the question should the co. decide to make bold initiatives to monetize operations and seek all avenues of EXPOSURE.
Part of gaining exposure is utilizing those who are financially vested (shareholders)to spread the word to others and also generally inject enthusiasm to your shareholder community.
This property must either take the fight to the next level or it's going to die a slow-death of mediocrity. IMO by moving to next level company could not only survive but thrive and ultimately attract buyout.
Management needs to see that their dealing with shareholder community ought to now be reincorporated as one of their primary concerns. In the past, the 'we're building the business' was more-reasonable but now the property is at more of a critical mass.
As shareholders we have high expectations for this property/investment and we deserve to be updated.
My tipping-point came when the company 'neglected' to make fanfare/PR with respect to the 2,000,000 attainment. I have been one of the biggest supporters of co. here at IHUB but even my support has limits. I vowed that if they didn't PR above I would do something pro-active for myself and the community at-large and that is at the genesis of this open letter idea to co.
There is strength in numbers and I'm heartened thus far by YES responses. Thank you to all those who have responded--even those who few who have expressed NO.
It's clear to me and very heartening that there is a core of holders here that do care about their BUNM investment and seeing the property succeed. The open letter is intended to show management that we're a serious and cohesive group of shareholders.
If we can't obtain regular updates from management--then we are going to update management about our concerns/ideas on a regular basis. Patience has its limits and our investment dollars are valuable.

Thanks to all who have provided a resounding YES.
This co. is a real big mystery. However, someday (who knows when) there will be transparency and tremendous movement forward. It might come in the form of buyout, merger or perhaps current management may look deeper and boldly make initiatives to monetize.
I feel that what's lacking with the co. is actually an epidemic of missed opportunities that is not relegated to hypster.com It seems to be an industry-wide struggle to create streams of income over an ad-based model that has seen dampened enthusiasm due to extended economic recession.
Most Web based companies have been unable or unwilling to monetize their operations. It's like letting people into the stadium for a free hot dog promotion and forgetting that these same people brought their wallets and are willing to fork out some dollars for drinks, chips, T-shirts, magazines etc.
I believe there are parties both actual and potential who would covet the opportunity to direct initiatives to the hypster.com audience. IME it is only a matter of WHEN this is going to occur. The 2.1 million user milestone is nearing.
Based on what happens (or doesn't happen) during August 2010--I want to engage the BUNM shareholder community and draft an open letter to the management from the IHUB community(and beyond if possible) to express our collective support of the property but also express our collective concerns.
Post a big YES in a reply post if you support the idea to communicate with Burned Media en mass. I will tabulate the names and intend to include all names on an OPEN LETTER FROM IHUB COMMUNITY TO BURNED MEDIA There is strength in numbers and no offense to any one poster who tries to obtain DD from direct or indirect sources but we need to collectively do something different here to capture attention of management.
I don't have extremely hard evidence but I suspect as have some posters in the past that BUNM management does monitor IHUB on a fairly regular basis.
I believe this forum is a significant force for spreading the word about this company. It is very likely that the 276 members here at IHUB are owners of hundreds of millions of shares of this co. if not a billion +
There does seem to be demand for .0001s. 1,000,000 volume yesterday (August 2, 2010) now followed by 40,050,000 August 3, 2010.
IMO supposed July 'news' was merely a smokescreen.
The co. is obviously going to release guidance only at a time of their own choosing. So we can all sit back and relax lol

Thanks for your realistic 'take' on the subject. A few posts can't atone for a long and persistent history of negativity. Judging by purported 'change of tune' perhaps interesting changes are forthcoming.

Any new theories about BUNM xkem?
I've done a bit of 'googling' in respect to finding out about CEO's remarks. Thus far, I've been unsuccessful in finding anything.
It's curious how the 'lid' is being firmly kept on the contents of this presentation and other matters.

Then by all means--keep posting. How many have you accumulated at .0001?
I'll email chong and see if he has some time
With consistent guidance this co. could reach any number of PPS attainments.
A PR accompanied with clear guidance and a plan/commitment to regularly update shareholders could get us to .0010 level in the short-term. Mid and long-term attainments are definitely possible if co. decides to shed more light on plans and take bold initiatives.
Despite pundits, BUNM's hypster.com has achieved strong results. Exponential user growth has occurred over a period years. A critical mass of users is in-place and needs to be mined for dollars.
Many Social-Media players have been unable or frankly haven't attempted to move from 'free-site status' to obtaining dollars.
To me, it's implausible that out of 2,052,000 users that 0 would not be willing to pay some dollars for 'upgraded accounts/services.' Hence, the admonition to undertake bold and new initiatives.
102,600 (5% of user base) X 12.00 = 1,231,200 per year
With the above revenues--you inject more-aggressive paid marketing, sponsorships, celebrity endorsements etc. and at minimum 4-6 PR updates to shareholders per year.
IME Either current management will decide to exploit and profit from user base or eventually some other entity will covet the opportunity through means of buyout.
Moreover, there may be another pink sheet and/or OTCBB player who may desire BUNM as part of acquisition or merger. The above would be in addition to other well-known names having interest.
Gotta keep your buying opportunities open. I hear chong will be here soon. He's more of an optimist though...
