In the call it was stated that Barry Diller will continue as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IAC. There are a ton of other reports. I won’t repeat all of that, I’ll just point out the conference call highlights. He’s quite animated and interesting to listen to, I wish he did loosely structured calls like this more often.
- The new metric is query growth – I find that to a strong signal about ask.com and other properties
- On Video – there is so much runway ahead
- Mobile – nobody has really started yet
- Internet advertising is effective and trackable
This is an exciting change for IAC, look for good things in 2008.
Sounds like they are going down the right track.
