I strongly disagree. I follow Markus's blog and interview closely, aside from 'making sure the servers stay up", his other tasks include:

- detele the large number of fake profiles of his sites;
- analyze his competitions;
- analyze his traffic data and what to do to improve the sites traffic;

		<description>I can't really think of a single business that matches this description. 

The only thing that comes close are internet related businesses, either a web publisher or software publisher. 

The toughest requirement to manage is the "exclusive rights". The content from most sites while copyrighted and specifically unique is generally available from many sources.

Most B&#38;M businesses fail for the other 4 requirements.</description>

John, that sounds like a story with more to it. If there is more, it might make a good future blog post.  ;)

Thanks,
