Interesting.

This reminds me of VigLink and other players in the space that essentially sell link inventory to e-commerce companies. For example, you mention Microwave Model #3023 in a blog post, create a hyperlink, and then e-commerce companies selling Microwave Model #3023 bid on each new visit to point the destination URL to their product page.

You, my friend, are spot-on with this. It's a part of the long-term plan of PLEENQ, but requires enough market penetration to make sense.

Seems like your offering differs in that it caters to visual inventory and you can segment an image by its pixels to distinguish unique products, which is cool.

What sort of customers are using Pleenq so far?

Blogs, a couple online forums, content sites (largest one we're testing on is worldlifestyle.com -- disabled currently) and a couple sites who are building their functionality based on PLEENQ (women's lookbooks, houzz-like functionality, etc.).
