Now here’s some unusual logic: ask people to pay $3.99 for online video they may be able to see free and ad-supported elsewhere. Charge them more — $5.99 for two to five people, $7.99 for six to ten — if they want to watch it simultaneously with friends (on different computers). That’s what Lycos, the aging [...] ...

Lycos might be one of the last names you’d expect to see associated with the online video darlings YouTube and Hulu. The search-engine-cum-internet-portal that rose to international popularity in the late 90s before crashing down to earth post-bubble-burst certainly hasn’t been on our radar more than a couple of times in the last three years. But [...] ... Source: uk.techcrunch.com --- 17 days ago

From Search Engine Watch Blog today: One month after Yahoo announced its partnership with Click Forensics, Lycos is announcing a similar agreement with the click fraud firm. Today, at the ad:tech conference in San Francisco, Lycos will announce the new deal, which they hope will improve the quality of their PPC traffic. Click Forensics offers a service that is similar to a spam filter. Their technology uses patent-pending analytics and live campaign data across various search engines to identify sources of bad traffic and click fraud. That information is updated in real-time and then delivered to clients via an API. The delivered data is tailored to the specific needs of Click Forensic’s clients. Now this technology will be used to serve the Lycos paid search program. ... Source: www.buzz.lycos.com --- 7 days ago
Leading online video advertising network SpotXchange announced a list of top casual gaming sites who are making their InGame video ad inventory available to advertisers in the SpotXchange marketplace including Lycos's Gamesville.com . According to various third-party measurement firms, SpotXchange's network of casual gaming publishers reaches more than 25 million unique monthly visitors in aggregate. Most casual gaming inventory is monetized by static or rich-media display advertisements that run before a game starts or between game levels. While they generate revenue for casual gaming publishers, display advertisements do not leverage the inventory's true value given the dramatically high brand exposure and interaction rates generated by InGame video ads. ...

Lycos today launched a social movie-watching site, Lycos Cinema . The idea is that you can invite your buddies to watch the movie you're watching (synchronized almost frame-for-frame), and then chat with them about the show in an embedded window.
I found it a surprisingly engaging experience. I fired up a movie and invited in some folks here, and the chat just picked up naturally. I could see this product being popular among kids. Watching a movie in your room would sure beat doing homework.
It's like your own mini text-based MST3K.
Users who aren't invited into a movie can "sneak in" to a show that someone else has launched, as long as they've marked it "public." The person who kicked off the movie can pause or unpause it, and everyone who's watching stays synced up. Users can also schedule online viewing "parties" that they invite their friends in to. Up to 10 people can watch a video at the same time. There's a mix of paid and free content.
Now, the problems. First: Poor content selection. As Josh said while we were viewing the 1960 version of Little Shop of Horrors , Lycos Cinema needs more contemporary content. Considering the demographic likely to use the product, Lycos' launch of a contest to find new independent films via Lycos Cinema seems like a mismatch of product and audience.
Also, Lycos Cinema is a "lean forward" experience. The chat text is tiny. You need to press your nose ...
