It hasn't gone unnoticed that GON have not updated their website since the 24th September where at least the Trading Statement should have been added (7th October).
Not saying it's good or bad just interesting so made a point of noting me thoughts.

Might have to wait until Final Results or perhaps a trading statement before then and then I think we may see a good old fashioned re-rating of say 30p.Just typing aloud really and all depends if GON can prove they are worth that valuation,this would then stimulate trading.
Another option might be an acquisition via a placing to enable big chunks to be purchased by the major players and highlight GON in the general market place.
Think I've rambled enough! :-)

The Youtube SuperSoccerStarShow Channel now has 419 videos! I would guess the idea is to get as many of the would be soccer stars their few minutes of fame and thus encourage voting.

Hmmmm,the Apollo's Pad website is down (Ed-not that old chestnut!) which may or may not prove interesting.
The fact that GON have a partnership with USA based Dragonfruit Studios which initially involves the licensing of two of Galleon's multi-platform properties IE Super Soccer Star and Apollo's Pad.
From the link below they are going to "relaunch and manage Apollos Pad on a global basis",this does add a little bit of excitement but of course this may be next year and have nothing to do with website being down today.
All good fun! :-) Please dyor ect ect ect

Or not! :-)
Anyway,relating to post 1470 there are now 616 videos with most being of individual contestants showing off their skills.
Compared to the Apollo's Pad Youtube Channel,SSS has roughly three times the viewing figures over the same time period but just a rough guess though.
There are now 4576 contestants registered for the Super Soccer Star show and as said before,the first stage is to whittle the initial group down to 300 finalists for the try outs on 15th November,this first stage is by text voting.

Facebook's boost for TV ratings
A&E Television Networks director of international digital media Fabienne Fourquet (below) explains how social networks are changing the way people consume video.
The other night as I was watching an old James Bond movie on my home theatre while browsing Facebook, I found myself turning my attention away from my giant living-room wall TV to the tiny videos on my friends' Facebook pages, from a user-generated video someone made for my wedding, to a funny Sarah Palin/Hillary Clinton Saturday Night Live skit, to music video clips from everyone's iLike favourite bands.
Obviously, despite the screen size injustice, it was still easier for my attention deficit disorder self to muse upon the wonders of 'online video snacking' than to get into the quite complicated Bond plot where I can never quite understand which girl is the villain. And as I was wandering between video screens, I began wondering how the relationship between TV, online video and social networks is evolving and changing the way we find and watch video.
Here's what we can learn on the web about this topic:
More than 27 million UK internet users (78% of the total UK internet audience) viewed 3.2 billion videos online in June 2008, which represents an astounding 118 videos per UK internet user (ComScore, September 2008).
Interesting factoid: Surfing for porn has dropped to about 10% of online searches from 20% a decade ago, and the hottest internet searches now are for social networking sites (Bill Tancer's new book Click: What Millions of People are Doing Online and Why It Matters).
In 2008, a 55.9% increase in online video ad spending clearly indicates that this is a viable advertising channel (eMarketer, August 2008).
In 2007, the audience using social networks has increased by two-thirds in the Middle East and Africa, 35% in Europe and one-third in Latin America (ComScore, August 2008).
Video views and social networking are two online activities that are experiencing a huge boost and creating a lot of buzz these days. Both activities demonstrate strong measurement in terms of 'time spent,' currently the best online metric, and for delivering a targeted, quality audience.
This translates into highly coveted eyeballs for advertisers and higher CPMs for publishers. Needless to say, getting a video into people's inboxes or onto their social network home pages is the Holy Grail for TV digital marketers.
Most recently, A&E created a Facebook game to promote the real-life series Parking Wars, about the men and women of the Philadelphia Parking Authority. The game, in which each player owns a street corner and can ticket their friends' cars and become a Parking Mogul, was the only marketing support behind the season-one launch.
