4:00-5:00 Welcome, Luke! Where are you today?
5:00-7:00 So you founded Associated Content (AC) in 2004. What was the basis of that start?
7:00-8:15 How was AC different from About.com when you started?
8:15-10:00 What was the revenue sharing model when you started and how did it evolve?
12:00-14:00 What exactly do you think of the Panda update? Did it make search better?
14:45-16:30 Was there not a massive amount of gaming going on in the system?
16:30-18:30 How do you deal with lower quality content when you have an open system like you do?
18:30-19:15 If I can't spell well, do I get kicked off of the platform?
19:15-21:30 How many editors do you have looking at this content coming in?
21:30-23:45 Who are the writers who work for you? And how much of it is driven by the economy and people needing jobs?

26:00-30:15 How did the acquisition to Yahoo! occur?
30:15-31:30 The Yahoo! Contributor Network (YCN) was buying as much as the system you created as the content, yet?
31:30-34:00 As a Yahoo! user, how would I know what's from the YCN and what's from a professional writer?
34:00-37:45 How has it been post-acquisition as an entrepreneur?
37:45-40:15 Do you think it's inevitable that traditional media and content business will intertwine?
42:30-43:30 What does that mean for the users who want more video? Who fills that space?
43:30-45:45 How do you get people to overcome any negative press at Yahoo!?
45:45-47:00 What's the most traffic a YCN article has gotten?
47:00-48:00 Design006 asks: Any pressure from Google started a similar network?
48:00-50:30 IrishTara asks: Can you reveal any future plans for contributors?
50:30-54:00 What was the most difficult moment in the history of Associated Content and how did you get through it?
54:00-56:00 Tyler: I'd like to hear Luke's thoughts on AOL taking a similar approach and, when the Yahoo! talks were occurring, was there ever the option to form a partnership instead of selling?
57:30-57:45 Thanks for coming on the program Luke. Continued success. Everyone follow Luke @luke_beatty and to learn more about the YCB go to www.Contributor.Yahoo.com.
57:45-59:00 Thank you to GoToMeeting and Hiscox for sponsoring the show.
59:00-59:45 Insight from Tyler: Most mergers and acquisitions reminds me of high-fiving a blind guy.
59:45-01:00:00 Everyone be sure to watch This Week in Web Design with host Jose Caballer at 4pm PT right here.
