There's only a handful of shows worth watching in Bodybuilding - the Olympia, AC and a couple of spring shows such as the Ironman. All of them are now being webcast, not to mention a million threads crop up in the message boards before, during and after the show. So I don't see the big deal / point about having the results text over the phone, like it's the Melbourne cup where millions of dollars have been bet and are at stake.
But that's just me.

It doesn't make any sense to me either. Anyone who cares enough about this crap that they need to know RIGHT NOW is either at the show or watching the webcast. Lift is trying to create a market for something that just isn't there. There's probably some service like that for NFL or NBA games, and he thought he could copy it. As you said, that stuff is based on the gambling, and having dozens of games per day. No one is placing wagers on the IFBB.

Are you saying you don't take the day off work and sit glued in front of your PC, refreshing the screen every 2 seconds while sweat pours down your face as you keep wondering who is going to win the NPC Louisiana amateur middleweight class ??? ;D

Who do I look like, Howard White?

haha i have to agree. no market for this. at all!

I didn't.

LOL
Remember, though, Musclephone is powered by GetBig!

Hey we have no idea what you look like, remember? ;D

thanks for your continued love goatboy. Muscle Phone provided a number fans with results immediately after the show.

"Muscle Phone"
Gayer than having your "uncle" shave your butt crack for a show......

2 is a number too, right? You tell them tiger.
Seriously though, good luck on the whole thing.

like betting on who will be Miss New York State. haha

And both of then were at the show anyway! ;D
"Muscle phone" is the fanny-pack of 2008... except it's less useful.
-

so did musclememory.com, and musculardevelopment.com, and ironmanmagazine.com, and getbig.com, and a few hundred other websites.
plus iPhones can probably stream the webcast. and if not, they certainly can get to all the above mentioned websites.
-
Ok, GetBig has shown that there are enough fanboys and You-go-girls who would like to get contest results immediately, but is this true at more than 3-4 shows per year?
I want Lift to be successful, but what exactly defines 'success' with this particular project?

That was my point, not really much of a market for this... but Lift thinks it's all about him. ;D
-

Well...0 is a number. ;D
The entire market for bodybuilding is very small. I have to say, I do respect Ryan Deluca's (almost) monopoly on the industry. Monopolies aren't a bad thing when the one in charge is a guy like Ryan.
-
There is so much news going on around bodybuilding and having a up to the minute report of these reports can make anyone's life much easier! Like say if you were at dinner last night with some friends you could have been the first to break them the news that Phil Heath won the Ironman! Beat that!
I haven't signed up for it yet because I don't think my blackberry can retrieve info like that from a text, I'll have to find my old Nokia 5190 I think is around somewhere....
-
Goatboy's points are accurate except for the part about him not being gay. ;D

Gee, wouldn't that make me the star of the show - I can see all the women flocking over to me as soon as I yell out that breaking news ::)

... then you stare straight into the camera and say, "I used to get no play, but look at me now.... THANKS, LIFT STUDIOS!" ;D

Yes, I think that's what Isaac has in mind. :)
-
He will make a lot of money off that.

haha musclephone
the next big thing
"hey one minute let me check my muscle phone for updates on the Ironman, huh you don't know what the Ironman is?"
-
I fell asleep after being "Disgusted" by a certain competitors male stripper routine........
Musclephone woke me up to tell me who had won!
-
Well...0 is a number. ;D

He sold Bodybuilding.com to Liberty Media for north of $100 million...smart business dude!
-
I don't know why you are questioning what Lift is doing. His "Muscle Phone" is not aimed at you, it is aimed at the silly douchebags who pay for premium phone content. These people all have something in common. They are imbeciles! As I have said before, I know someone running a premium SMS here in this country and I can assure you, these people are all retarded and ripe for the picking.
-

Yes he is. I believe Ryan and his family still has a minority share in the website though.

In most business deals that large they get a majority of that money in stock rather than one large check.

I heard they took 3 dump trucks full of money and just filled the DeLuca's swimming pools so they could swim in it.

*bump* for being such a schmoe you sign up for "Musclephone" despite watching the free webcast live.
-
Hahaha!
gordiano,
How else do you propose we get up-to-date information about the athletes of the sport?

Some people leave their parent's basement and computer once in awhile.
MUSCLE PHONE delivers more than contest results. Had you signed up you'd hear that Craig Titus is being linked to New York Yankee's pitcher, Andy Pettitte.

You ever hear of mobile internet on cell phones, dumbass? (http://www.getbig.com/boards/Themes/Getbig%20Yellow/images/post/wireless.gif)
Hell, you could probably stream the webcast on an iphone.
::)

See, Isaac, this is me accessing the internet on my phone.

*bump* for "Lift Studios Muscle Phone" officially being the gayest idea on the planet. :D

Goatboy is a cynic.
Hope this helps.

hahahahaha oh boy, ''muscle phone'', i bet all the lines were clogged after the results came in
-

Absolutely.
Lift has always been a little fruity, but that's part of what makes him so entertaining.
Even if he makes millions of dollars 10 cents at a time, he will *never* live this program down. Nothing I ever get involved with could be as schmoey as 'all musclephone, all the time'. ;D
-
Thanks Tre.
You can now sign up for female news, gossip and contest results by typing "hardbody" to 64274.
