gBox: ‘gift-giving widget’
p2pnet news | Product News:- How many ways can you try to milk cash cows, in this instance, online music lovers?
Well, here’s another.
“gBox makes a gift-giving widget that allows you to buy DRM-free music from your wishlist or your friends’ wishlist,” says CrunchBase.
Says the gBox site:
gBox allows you to create a wishlist of your favorite digital content and have friends, old and new, gift you! Your wishlist can be embedded on any social networking site to make it easy for your friends to know which gifts you want!
Wowee.
Not only was also, gBox has struck a deal with Universal to sell DRM-free music for 99 cents per track or $9.99 an album, says Crunchbase, going on to quote Engadget as saying gBox has also organised another deal with Google to refer users to their gBox site via Google AdWords and that, “Universal plans to pay Google for the gBox referrals.”.

“Universal plans to pay Google for the gBox referrals”. Then gBox redirects users using their own (non-Google) ads and pop-unders to other sites. Looks like both Google and gBox are taking advantage of Universal to make ad dollars.
