Saucer moving to handle phase
I think this move to Manhattan Beach is going to open new doors. Proximity to LA music scene will only help our cause. I'll post more thoughts here later.
Good morning all--check out this industry news...

Rhapsody cuts monthly music plan to $ 10 at spinoff
With all your supposed clout let's see you pump and raise this PPS--
Your opinions are noted...
I think You should come back to the 'dark side' and start pumping this.
I can see the PR right now: 'Maverick one' changes tune about BUNM and PPS breaks .0005.
You know Maverick we're all ready to welcome You back to the collective.
Feeling great about things here as well--not overly concerned about PPS but I do expect more-dynamic trading as we near the 2,000,000 milestone.
2,000,000 will be here on approximately June 1st 2010!!!

Flashback Post concerning Best Buy purchase of napster.com: March 7th 2009 by 'Pass the Salt'
The Best Buy
purchase of napster.com was a very instructive in showing a wider buying pool out there than I personally surmised.
The powers that be there must have realized that brick and mortar stores for selling/distributing music are quickly falling out of vogue and profitability. That's why Best Buy is testing on site music lessons and other 'thinking outside the box' initiatives.
IME a strong Web-based presence will be essential to sustainability of any major music-reseller as time goes on.
Look at the growth for example of holiday shopping online as the years go on. Who could see that coming in the early 1990s walking through the local mall?
From newspaper/media conglomerates to private equity firms--there is a need for a hot property with growth potential.
Would you buy a dying daily newspaper with rapidly diminishing circulation for millions or go with a property like hypster.com looking to a bright future and a growth in returns? With a bit of additional exposure and positive hype--this property next year at this time could be looking at an excess of 2-3 million users.
The value of a hypster.com with growing Web loyalty is enormous. Why? because once people come to your site (willingly) you can cross-sell products, offer them traditional/music news and basically build a Web-based juggernaut that can capture market share online.
Greater ad revenues can ensue and the official hypster.com T-shirt might become a common sight of High School and college campuses throughout the nation. Looking beyond internationally--music is truly an international language that can translate well in an era of multinational corporations.
'The writing is all over the wall' concerning the demise of old-media forms and the sad reality is that a number of companies are going to completely fold for a lack of understanding the present and future value of a property like hypster.com and related opportunities for value-added enhancements.
Don't buy hypster.com at your own financial peril:
Hypster.com hasn't even really scratched the surface as far as what it can become.
Spread the word--2,000,000 users coming very soon
only one way to run cheechmoney...
Too much uncertainty always shakes markets.
IME If there's a leak on the settlement tomorrow (3-11-10) during trading hours we're going to be witnessing a huge volume spike. As human nature goes--news of settlement is not going to be kept secret by all parties. I agree many are on the sidelines today due to uncertainty. This 'uncertainty' could change in an instant though--this is one interesting ride here!!
Whatever it takes Mav...whatever it takes...
Why so afraid of DD?
I was just reading an article at AFP that mentions more advertising dollars from US companies will be going to the digital arena than print for the first time this year. See article US Advertisers to spend more on digital than print posted on front page of drudgereport.com
The above sea-change in advertising should benefit hypster.com as we approach 2,000,000 users.
(1,000,000 attained April 2009)
I prefer .04 personally

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
--William Arthur Ward
My views on BUNM are based on realism and the facts things can change in life.
3 + years ago CEO responded that he is not overly concerned with share price. Rather CEO's interest was in building hypster brand toward user growth. You may not agree with CEO's perspective but it is a fact that CEO is not preoccupied with your personal stock account.
IMO The buying eyes here are seeing .0001 as an 'undervalued' opportunity. There has been a long period here at IHUB where a number of posters have had unjustified pessimism about BUNM's future/prospects.
These posters ignore positive growth with respect to hypster.com and now the enhanced BETA version.
As of 2-9-2010 hypster.com is nearing 1,750,000 users.
These posters resort to personal attacks on CEO rather than ever admitting to the exponential growth of hypster.com or finding any positives in the equation. Such bias is clearly evident.
Certainly all viewpoints are welcome but when viewpoints are always negative and not objective they should come under suspicion.
Alternatively, if we have a poster here who constantly predicts movement to .05 tomorrow and the CEO is a 'Saint' they should receive as critical of an eye as those preaching the 'worthlessness' of this issue daily.
The share price here is simply reflecting what the market currently thinks of BUNM. Share price is more of an opinion than a valuation. Therefore value here is not dependent on share price. I believe value here is more than .0001 others may think it's .0012 and perhaps management may believe the value to be .0050-.01. I say pay-up and pay-in if you want in at .0001, .0007 etc.
It's a fundamental reality of investing that the lower the entry price-the greater the potential return. To many buyers, .0001 is an attractive entry opportunity. The above may be the reason for 40,000,000 of volume in the last ten minutes of trading.
Exactly Jeppy D!
No question in my mind that hypster BETA is a great improvement. Yes--I have browsed through the new site and my impression is positive.
I expect interest in BUNM to ramp-up as we approach 2,000,000 user mark this spring. The fact that management is not broadcasting every material event via PR to me shows confidence and begs investors to 'read between the lines' about where this co. is heading. I would expect some kind of material guidance upon attainment of 2,000,000 and as far as PPS goes; a strong test against the stubborn .0005 resistance.
Like you've alluded to--I see this also as a way to raise profile to a potential partner or acquirer. It could also serve to increase loyalty among existing users especially with the improvements you have mentioned.
Some of recent posts purporting to valuate hypster.com to abysmal low-ball numbers were laughable. Millions if not tens of millions off in their 'opinions.' We are acquiring market share of a very-young demographic. Share volume is sparse and yet the co. is solvent.
Solvency here is not coming through selling of shares. Our audience is growing exponentially and yet the skeptics continue to disparage such growth in favor of a desire for fluff PRs and a dedicated phone line to the CEO. The co. is giving plenty of guidance to the educated eyes here.
April 2008: 300,000 users
April 2009: 1,000,000 " "
April 2010: 1,930,000-2,000,000 " "
That's PROGRESS!!!
Nearly 65,000 new users added during November 2009!!! Phenomenal growth for hypster.com
2,000,000 is virtually around the corner
Ken was also one of those on the grassy knoll in ...1963
'I want' world peace but it's not reality.
'I want' the CEO to order all shareholders a combo meal and a coke.
'I want' the CEO to pick up his home phone at 3:00AM and talk to shareholders anytime 24/7.
'I want' the CEO to talk to me when I personally berate him incessantly.
'I want' a information pipeline from the CEO--regardless of PPS complications, good sense and SEC regulations
'I want, I want, I want'
BTW I agree with some of your DD including your belief that the CEO is staying put with this for time-being. Other things I agree to disagree FYI
.0001s now in demand for sure
Nice entry points & chart for TCHH
In here--I like the entry level/chart as well as frequency of PRs
We better setup a 'no trespassing sign' to prevent daytraders from coming here. Heaven forbid that we have trading activity here and welcome and need all types of investors.
Someone wants to buy at .0002 and sell at .0003 great for them!!!! What's so terrible about healthy trading activity? Others who bought at .0001 may have just sold at .0004. Others have just opened positions here with expectation of bigger things. Some are on the sidelines waiting for their own cues.
You should mever let anyone force you to bring in your bags of money through the door. If you think your bags of money are gone forever--then you ought to do the same here. Your bad/past experience does not have to = others experience.
Yes the PPS tells the story that this is undervalued IME
A persons given time whether short or long in a stock does not = credibility. Rather credibility is based on rational thought, lack of bias and not going to extremes.
As far as I know, we don't see people predicting moves to .03 tomorrow but yet we do have some here predicting reverse splits tomorrow.
Some are angry because the CEO doesn't keep their phone number at his bedside.
You have no expectations whatsoever for BUNM so why should I be concerned about your views about supposedly misleading investors? I have positive and perhaps even (ultimately) great expectations. I believe everyone here is a rational, intelligent human being and can make decisions based on correct rationale. I think some who bash here could be accused in the past of having unrealistic expectations and having what one could call 'hope-itis.'
Everyone should know they invest at their own risk with a chance for gain. This process may take days, weeks or years. It may end in negative or 0% return or astronomical gains that you couldn't dream of 100-3000% It may end up being a life-changer or not.
Samuel Johnson said 'the business of life is to go forward.' I believe BUNM is doing the above. I don't need to chit-chat with CEO to know the above or have my own formulated opinions and yes optimism.
There's no time to dwell on the past and supposed sins of CEO. Soon we'll hit 1.6 million users and 2,000,000 is coming in early part of 2010. I don't know how you can ignore real progress.
The growth model of hypster.com is indeed conservative but matches these times in light of worst economic downturn in 70 years. In these times, it is just not prudent to start and try to fund 10 different ventures/spin-offs.
I like your comment about organic growth because it's a great way to build a solid foundation for the future. Moreover, this foundation is attractive to buyout entities who will desire to take this to the 'next level.'
Interesting thoughts doinit. Hopefully new SEC reg's can stamp out MMs ability to manipulate issues through naked shorting.
Good post. BUNM needs and deserves greater awareness. This is not just the job of CEO. We welcome all kinds of traders!
FYI 775,000 new users added here since beginning of 2009
GOOGLE music believes in hypster.com enough to advertise there--this absolutely proves someone at GOOGLE music is aware of hypster.com and feels that it's a promising venue for gaining exposure/sales.
Why would BUNM management assent to building up the value of a gorilla competitor like GOOGLE music?
Of course, GOOGLE music helps bring in $$$$$$ in paying for their banner ad but is there more here than meets the eye?
What is 30-60 million to GOOGLE to gobble up hypster.com and like the Borg of Star Trek 'bring it into their collective lol' Seriously--can you imagine what GOOGLE and its billions could do for exposure and promotion of hypster.com
The opportunities for income streams are mind-blowing--
Mac,
Best wishes--my feeling here is that the silence from co. of last few months/year could be golden. Hope You and Yours are Great!!

A real long-shot IMHO however a player like Google could take hypster.com to the stratosphere. Tens of millions more users for 2009 and hundreds of millions of user count in the years beyond.
What's lacking right now IME for entities like Google, Facebook and MySpace are enough 'thinking outside the box' approaches to generating real revenue in these times.
The advertising models are blown-away due to the depth of the recession and these cos. have offered essentially 'free use' so-long they forget that consumers will often pay $$$$ for value-added features aka 5-30.00 per month for unlimited music downloads/chat features/concert ticket discounts/'free' hypster T-shirts etc.
This economy we're all experiencing now has been referred to the 'new normal' meaning that consumer trends and expectations have likely permanently changed.
Advertising dollars have dried up in some cases and trends have definitely changed overall in respect to monies once spent in newspaper advertisements are now online. In some respects, advertisers are frantic to reach their audience and secure profitability.
I don't know if a Google will take enough interest in an entity like hypster because large corporations aren't always known for being visionary. However, they do seem open to not merely wanting to reinvent the wheel but find entities that are already up and running.
An entity like Google could turn hypster.com into a huge national and international 'name' virtually overnight. Music is not going away and music obtained/shared/purchased online is the present and future.
IME The key for Google in buying an entity like hypster.com is immediately implementing a plan that insures streams of income beyond advertising models. Every new user = $5.00 - $50.00 yearly rather than the big 0 return that is not going to enthuse their shareholders or management.
When you know everything, you are like a dark sky. Sometimes a flashing will come through the dark sky. After it passes, you forget all about it, and there is nothing left but the dark sky.
The key is never being surprised when all of a sudden a thunderbolt breaks through. And when the lightning does flash, a wonderful sight may be seen.
When we have emptiness, we are always prepared for watching the flashing.
