Just got off the phone With Gena(sp?) and she stated that they were looking only to release PR's when they have substantial information...but she said that she was expecting to release something next week. They are looking to raise money for a marketing campaign, and they are in talks with a few venture capitalist companies for that. I asked specifically if they were thinking of selling into the market to raise capital, and she said no. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...interesting!!??!

The Outerpost Reaches 1,750,000+ Page Views in the Month of October
Tuesday November 6, 8:37 pm ET
ORANGE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 6, 2007 -- Cody Ventures Inc. (Other OTC:CDYV.PK - News) reported that its flagship property The Outerpost (www.theouterpost.com) finished the month of October with over 1,750,000 page views.
ADVERTISEMENT
According to alexa.com, during the month of October, TheOuterPost.Com averaged 28 page views per user, thus aligning it with such major industry websites as Facebook.Com (with an average of 30.6 page views) and Myspace.Com (with an average of 32.6). Facebook.Com, boasting 34 billion page views for the month of October recently sold a 1.6% stake to Microsoft for $240 million dollars, making their page view value at $4.20 per page. TheOuterPost.Com is now hoping to break the 2,000,000 page view mark in November.
Gina Heitkamp, General Manager of TheOuterPost.Com, said, "Even though our social network is just getting started, our high page views shows that our site is extremely sticky. Users log on and don't want to log off, which is great for advertisers." She goes on to state, "With Microsoft recently buying 1.6% of Facebook for $240 million dollars, it showed us that the industry is thriving now more than ever and that the potential for growth and value for TheOuterPost.Com is nearly endless."
According to eMarketer, advertising on social networks has exploded in recent years, with marketers predicted to spend $900 million in the US in 2007. By 2011 that figure will more than double to $2.5 billion, eMarketer predicts.

ADVERTISEMENT
The contest, which will last until the end of 2007, lets users use their creative skills to design their ideal fishbowl or goldfish habitat. TheOuterPost.Com members have been prompted to use their Photoshop and drawing skills to create something that the other website users will find innovative and unique. The winner of the contest will be decided on January 4th, 2008, and the winner will receive a brand-new 8GB i-Pod Touch. The winner will be determined by the votes of the Cody Ventures staff along with the comments of the website users. The winning design will be featured on "Dryhump," The Outer Post's mascot's homepage.
Gina Heitkamp, General Manager of TheOuterPost.Com, said, "It is important that we keep new and interesting things going on on our website. Our members are creative, so we make sure that our contests are geared toward their creativity." She goes on to state, "Since the start of the contest, we have already received several entries including, a toilet fish bowl and a fish bowl inside of a computer mouse.

The Outer Post Begins Its Campus Fundraiser Program in California
Wednesday November 21, 1:13 pm ET
ORANGE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 21, 2007 -- This week Cody Ventures (Other OTC:CDYV.PK - News) launched its campus fundraiser marketing campaign in order to gain a wider reach across the college-age demographic.
ADVERTISEMENT
The campaign offers college fraternities, sororities and clubs the chance to get their friends and peers signed up for The Outer Post while gaining one dollar for every new member they recruit. Valid sign-ups must include the club's assigned promo code and a picture. Clubs will be sent an advertising package via email that will include printable campus flyers with their promo codes and banner ads for the internet-savvy of the groups.
Cody Ventures believes that the campus fundraiser program will be not only a great way to gain exposure in its target demographic, but it will be a cost-effective way to get new members to the site. With some like companies paying upwards of $40 an action through programs such as Google-Pay-Per-Action, Cody Ventures sees this new marketing strategy as a way to save money by thinking outside of the internet box.
Roy Cooper, President of Cody Ventures, said, "We have a great staff in our target demographic that comes up with new and effective marketing campaigns. We are starting this program in California and slowly working our way through all of the universities in the United States with 25,000+ students." Cooper goes on to state, "This campaign gives us not only new members to enjoy our website, but exposure all over the United States that would be hard to gain otherwise. This unique program puts our website in the face of our target demographic."

Investor exclusively targets developers of social-networking
technologies

Last Update: 6:19 PM ET Nov 13, 2007Print E-mail Subscribe to RSS Disable Live Quotes
SAN FRANCISCO (Marketwatch) -- Some people think that Lee Lorenzen, an entrepreneur-turned-venture-capitalist, is crazy
Lorenzen is a big fan of the social networking site Facebook. He's so convinced of its future potential that he created a venture capital fund devoted to funding only technology developers who are working on Facebook-related applications. This only a month-and-a-half after Facebook opened its site up to outside software developers.
'I view myself as this voice in the wilderness.'
— Lee Lorenzen, investor
At a conference last month, Lorenzen even floated the possibility that Facebook is worth $100 billion -- far in excess of the $15 billion valuation implied by Microsoft's recent investment in the site.
"Jason Calacanis asked me if I was drunk," Lorenzen said, referring to the chief executive and founder of Weblogs Inc., a network of blogs. Lorenzen said he has also been asked if he was on crack and he's been told he's an idiot. "I view myself as this voice in the wilderness."
In his own blog entry from the event, Calacanis, who probably learned some lessons as the founder of the Silicon Alley Reporter in New York during the dot-com boom, said those kind of estimates create the absurdities we saw back in the first tech bubble.
"As an industry, we should NOT make absurd claims about companies as it does a disservice to the entire industry and the company itself," Calacanis wrote last month in his blog. A valuation of $100 billion, he noted, would make Facebook worth about 1,000 times its revenues, currently estimated at a bit under $100 million.
Rumors had been floating at the time about Microsoft's interest, and Calacanis wrote that Facebook was worth probably about $2 billion to $5 billion, or maybe even $5 billion to $10 billion to someone like Microsoft Corp. (MSFT:Microsoft Corporation

Lorenzen, based in Monterey, Calif., has founded several companies, including Shop.com, and is unfazed by criticism. He truly believes Facebook will be huge and that it is the first mainstream social operating system, taking a page from the playbook of Guy Kawasaki, Apple's former self-proclaimed evangelist.
Lorenzen thinks Facebook will eventually become a massive Web-based mall, but with much more value because people are shopping based on their friends recommendations, with Facebook as their main portal.
The first step in that evolution was the company's introduction last week of its Social Ads. The idea is that a purchase made by a Facebook member on other Web sites can be listed on their page, allowing their friends see, for example, what book they bought on the other site.
Another new ad feature is for members to become "fans" for products, brands or celebrities, a tack taken by its larger rival, MySpace. (MySpace is owned by News Corp. (NWS:news corp cl b
