			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we launched WatchMojo.com in January 2006, I went out of my way not to target men, what with my non-compete from AskMen being in effect until 2007.  But invariably, over time, there are only so many women&#8217;s topics you can cover, so we now have quite a lot of content targeting men.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, we ended up arming Glam with a lot of their video content on <a href="http://www.Brash.com" target="_blank">Brash.com</a>, the men&#8217;s site they <a href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-glam-media-finds-its-male-side-launches-brashcom/" target="_blank">launched</a> today.  This move is just the <a href="http://www.watchmojo.com/corporate/press.php" target="_blank">latest site we provide premium video content to</a>.</p>
<p>As a former executive in men&#8217;s content, I think they have a shot at becoming a player in the space.  Time will tell.  Glam has been launching a dizzying array of products of late; yet it is laying off some people in anticipation of hard economic times.  As a result, it might be challenging to pull it all off&#8230; so we shall see if Brash.com ends up in the hits column or lands in the recycle bin.</p>
<p>The company has brought in a former Fox Interactive Media executive, John Trimble, to handle Brash&#8217;s advertising, and magazine industry veteran Richard Perez-Feria to oversee the editorial content.  Trimble ran properties that included IGN, Gamespy and AskMen, 3 of the top sites in the coveted men&#8217;s 18-34 demographic.  Disclosure: I ran sales for AskMen until 2005.</p>
<p>One thing I do like: the name.  But we all know you need more than a cool URL to become a hit on the internet.</p>
