If I'm not mistaken--the CEO actually formulated the comparison chart.
I must also give a ton of credit to AJAB who did a great deal of work improving iBox in the past.
Latest & Greatest via iBox:
These are exciting times for shareholders of BUNM as we are experiencing RAPID GROWTH and have achieved 1.97 million registered users of BUNM’s online music discovery & social networking site.
1.97 MILLION USERS
In regards to your PM inquiry--please contact Board Manager Cyclone 101.

Ticker?....
Can you find me evidence those companies are not interested?
Or perhaps more-importantly please provide this board your hard evidence that 'there will be no buyout.'
Some feel entitled to state emphatically that this co. is utterly worthless and yet are threatened when others speculate that this is not the case.
"The back end technology we have built includes an advertising management platform, a content management platform, user and administration and a significant online database.
The company is in a rapidly expanding space and properties in the web 2.0 arena like hypster.com with commerce and advertising plays are in high demand from larger media companies like Time Warner (MySpace) and Youtube (Google) and at a certain critical mass (probably 1,000,000 users) will remain targets for buyout. "
CEO's quote from iBox
The above is from several years back, prior to attainment of 1,000,000 users.

Yes to print-out and fumigate certain posts
No worries. I believe the recent 'drying-up' of volume is mainly due to this latest round of accumulators winding-down their buying positions. Of course, the pundits like to attribute this to lack of interest/sky is falling etc.
The next wave of buyers may have time to accumulate prior to PR or perhaps they will be relegated to chasing. Technically speaking, we're still primed for a run but waiting for catalyst(s).
I'm encouraged that very modest levels of buying demand are holding this steady. Whatever happens it will be interesting to see the effect of a PR and resultant effect on PPS.
Notice with above that I'm leaving open the door to the unknown since as you know--many tend to sell on news and buy on rumor.
Attaining 2,000,000 hypster.com members is a huge milestone for anyone remotely familiar with the growth of this property. IMO the above represents several million 'steps' towards bigger and better things.
The distance is nothing; it's only the first step that is difficult

Rounding up slightly--we only need 45,000 more users for 2,000,000 milestone
No question technically speaking and (otherwise) that the potential upside here is considerable. I remember a stock that I held 3-4 years back that went from .0004-.0028 over 2-3 trading days (15 billion O/S). There was absolutely nothing to the co. nada--zilch the run-up was only based on wild speculation.
Your point about macro/micro scans of this stock are interesting. I agree that it is not a question of a run but when and how strong??. The catalyst(s) for a run will be interesting to witness.
Unexpected huge volume could make for some very interesting trading dynamics as MMs are constrained to take-down false walls especially .0004-.0008
Saturday AM 2,000,000 COUNTDOWN heating up

BUNM
2,000,000 is going to be the 'known.'
There are many, many things that are 'not known' that could work positively to all shareholders favor. Some have occurred and some are yet to occur.
That's if one is optimistic about this co.
Excerpt from 'The Intelligent Investor' page 83
The value of any investment is, and always must be, a function of the price you pay for it
That did not mean--nor could it ever mean--that stocks were worth buying at any price. Since the profits that companies earn are finite, the price that investors should be willing to pay for stocks must also be finite.
As for your # 4:
The last 45 trading days have brought us welcome upticks in the PPS. Moreover, as one poster noted several weeks ago BUNM experienced a Golden Cross 'for chartists, this cross is a sign that the market mood has turned decidedly in favour of the stock.' 20-Day moving average has sliced above 50-day MA.
I expect this upward pattern to be enhanced between now and June 2010. How much depends on a number of factors with a great unknown being the company's approach to 2,000,000 PR.
Will the co. offer any new material guidance? Are major developments happening behind the scenes? Have they received any buyout offers of consequence?
I have stated this a number of times but based on personal deduction, technical analysis and opinion(s) my own and others I do not believe .0001-.0003 is an accurate value for this stock.
The fact that PPS is hovering within this range is merely an indicator of perceived value. As human beings trading we often get it wrong more than right.
Who believes that a 2,000,000 Web audience hypster.com that is adding 60,000 + more users a month is only worth .0001?
For all we know, the CEO may have good reason(s) and hard evidence to believe value should really be somewhere between .0015-.01
IME Conditions are now as such that there are short-term, mid-term and long-term reasons to take a position here. hypster.com has grown to (nearly) 2,000,000 organically and will continue to grow unabated for the foreseeable future.
Potential for accelerated growth and converting some of user base into paying members are real possibilities. There are 450 plus blogs that are helping to spread the word about hypster.com at present. One major artist endorsement for hypster.com could put us into the stratosphere for awareness and super-charge growth.
The CEO is now involved in social and business circles that increase visibility and networking opportunities. IMO the odds of merger, buyout and/or other positive co. developments can only be increasing.
Finally, I've never stated this before but we've seen a number of biting personal attacks on the CEO over the last year only to find that CEO is very well-connected to potential funding sources and this is just through his family connections alone.
The bashing has obviously tried to portray CEO as small-timer unable to fulfill any promises to shareholders.
One must wonder why all the attacks on a worthless co. CEO, concept etc.???
Followed by CEO's 'move' from Canada to Los Angeles--
and........?
Exponential!!
I like your guess--9 months or less sounds good.
April 8, 2009
1,000,000
June 8, 2009 (projected)
2,000,000
approx 14 months to add another 1,000,000
3,000,000?????????
Summer 2011 at current growth rate...
Latest update to iBox 1,945,000 to be achieved tonight!
only 55,000 more to 2,000,000!!!

I appreciate your opinions and experience. However--my views on how this is going to play out/timetables differ from your own.
hypster.com is demonstrating an ability to add a quantity of users monthly. At present, it is not a paid subscription site but the potential to morph into that type of model ought to be viable.
If you could get $36.00 per year (3.00 per month) from 200,000 users (10%) of 2,000,000 you're looking a 7.2 million yearly/600K monthly in revenues.
The above opportunity to acquire paid subscribers should be there whether user count is 2.5 million or 3 million.
Whether current CEO is ever going to do the above or not is not the point. There could be someone out there right now vying for the opportunity.
We had indication from CEO in the past that he was open to a buyout at some point. He speculated about the possibility upon reaching the 1,000,000 milestone.
Would it be implausible with your buyout metrics that the likelihood is greater or less with an approach to 2,000,000 users?
As your probably know, a several million dollar marketing campaign to increase user count non-organically could drastically move us beyond 2,000,000 mark.
Such an injection of cash, exposure etc. could move us to 150K-200K + users per month vs current 60K +
I believe someone out there with real vision and $$$$$ will take this to the next level. There are many streams of income that could be brought on-line now that a solid user base is in-place.
It just seems that my opinion differs in saying the above happens sooner than later.
Hey Mac!
Good to hear from You! The next month should be an interesting one.
IME 2,000,000 is a nice jumping-off point for a given buyout entity. The recipe here for success has involved an organic growth model but the great thing is that results can be accelerated by deeper pockets.
If for example another public co. were to buyout hypster.com just think how the acquisition alone could ignite enthusiasm in their shareholder base. A subsequent PR highlighting 2,000,000 users is much-more formidable than 400,000 or 1,000,000.
Our Web audience is exponentially growing every minute, every hour, everyday. We are not limited by geography or time zones. Music is a universal language that transcends culture and age.
Our users frequently go to hypster.com for a digital music experience and some of the above 'drop-in' multiple times per day.
IMO our potential buyout pool is probably larger than we all surmise. For example, a major news site could integrate the hypster.com service into their main home page or place their permanent news link at hypster.com
Then hypster.com would morph into a place to enjoy music as well as learn about the major news of the day.
hypster.com ought to be an attractive candidate for 'old media' and other related companies to make rapid progress in attaining coveted younger demographics.
We have an attractive, growing audience.
Keep em coming chrizzy!!
1.94 million users very shortly
Mr. Susman was not at the last hearing in person because he is feverishly working for the fullest discovery possible.
There isn't enough time in the world to analyze the fallacy of your argument(s).
You're always right I suppose--
As I've stated before CEO will be the first to know about a given buyout offer and we shareholders will find out 'in due time.' In actuality the last people to know will be the investing public who don't currently have a share position and will have to chase this issue--if possible.
The 2,000,000 milestone is a great opportunity for the co. and shareholders to maximize exposure.
A PR here is very rare and historically we should expect on seeing something official from the co. over the next 30-40 days.
Yes there is more float to eat but it hasn't taken billions of volume to move this .0001-.0003.
The only thing that's going to 'organically' move this PPS is healthy buying demand. This is the place of investors. Moreover healthy bid and ask conditions will bring in a host of different types of traders.
It's hard to say what all the potential catalysts for upward movement might be but one thing about this stock is that there are a number of long-term holders who hold sizable positions and plan on retaining the bulk of shares for much-higher levels.
It's one of those ironies of trading that buying crowds will want-in or discover this after .0001-.0003 is but an historical record.
The above situation could force MMs to dramatically move this bid in order to shake shares. Once again, necessitating strong demand for the foreseeable future. MOMENTUM and DEMAND can do amazing things and who is to say that this won't enter-in to mix more and more?!?!
Yes there was no buyout in November 2009 but we are now in May 2010 with 2,000,000 users approaching. We have seen a healthy bid/ask situation return, board marks increase and general interest in this co./stock grow.
I have mixed feelings about PRs because people are going to try to manipulate this stock whether or not CEO offers guidance.
I expect a 2,000,000 announcement PR but think it is unlikely CEO will offer anything else. Hope I'm wrong about this but it hasn't been CEO's mode of operation.
CEO is on the record in the past stating his focus is building the business not focusing on the PPS. People try to construe the above as evidence of a CEO who 'doesn't care about his shareholders.'
I don't believe the above is the case. Moreover there are a multitude of legal and competitive reasons not to divulge 'company secrets' to shareholders or merely anyone that shoots him an email.
IMO shareholders ultimately control this. To our knowledge, the CEO has not been the catalyst for renewed interest and buying volume over that last 45 days. Rather it has been investors who have brought healthier market conditions and some volatility back to the PPS.
I'm not saying that a CEO can't affect a PPS rather this CEO has not been involved in directly affecting it as an obsession in itself.
I personally believe 2,000,000 to be more than 'a psychological barrier' or merely a number.
I believe the odds of a buyout, greater PPS action and a host of other factors are soon to come more into play. I encourage everyone to research this co. and consider buying a position before the masses realize what is happening here.
Finally--I want to inform interested parties of the potential value here. We need to get the word out to this board and other applicable boards. Other far less promising stocks get more 'air-time' everyday because their holders or (promoters) are more-vocal.
2,000,000 is the biggest attainment hypster.com has yet achieved. Spread the word!!!
At minimum 2.5 million + by EOY 2010
FYI BUNM to achieve 2,000,000 users at hypster.com between June 6-10th 2010. PR expected
FYI (All) I'm updating this part of iBox daily:
RAPID GROWTH!
* www.hypster.com launched in June of 2007 with only 23,000 beta users
* By January of 2008, grew to 220,000 users
* June 2008, grew to 400,000 users
* As of April 8, 2009 1,000,000 users!!!
* As of May 7, 2010 hypster.com reached 1,934,000 users with 2,000,000 rapidly approaching!
hit link 'browse playlists' and scroll to bottom (left)
Longer-term as hypster.com adds 60,000 + new users per month--one can ascertain that a potential buyout value goes up 60K-270K monthly.
60K would represent a laughably low-ball offer valuing each new user at 1.00:
270K would represent higher valuation 4.50 X 60,000 (see iBox)
600K would represent a bullish valuation 10.00 X 60,000
Your point about ad revenue is important.
As an illustration If co. was generating 20K per month at 1,000,000 milestone. Then it would make sense that monthly revenues are nearing 40K now.
10K/20K
15K/30K etc.
Short-term, Mid-term and Long-term hypster.com offers intriguing profitability and possibilities:
The paid bashers and other friends of C#@#% are trying to panic long-term holders to sell. Moreover they want the PPS low-enough to accumulate greater quantities of shares. They know it's not a matter of if; rather how much and when this settles.
It's remarkable how the PPS is being shaken down and before it was unable to move up. How easy to drop this pennies in one day!!! The news yesterday was hardly disastrous but they're doing their best to shake the tree.
If you judge things solely on PPS action you're going to feel unease here. Otherwise--it's only an extremely short-term situation.
