IZEA: This company has a lot going for it and I don't think the big ad companies can copy this model in a heartbeat, as some suggest. Like with Facebook, Google, or Saleforce.com that all seam to have easily duplicatable platforms, this company has the first mover advantage, it has the model platform, it has the network of influences, it has the impressive network of clients, and .....it actually has a lot of the big ad companies are partners: http://izea.com/advertisers/our-clients/agency-partners/
The people involved here tells me we have a winner here, despite the fact they bought in with a floorless convertible that has scared many people off.
I gave up my subscription to I-Hub, but you could PM me on SI if you wanted to discuss further.
