Joe Mohen

[7][8] In March 2016, Mohen published a guest blog predicting the collapse of baseball World Series television revenues unless its schedule is revamped.

[13][14] His maternal great-grandfather, James Morris, an immigrant from Liverpool, was one of the first full time staff of any motion picture studio,[15] being hired by Adolph Zukor in 1912, at Famous Players, making sets for the silent films at Chelsea Studios in Manhattan; Famous Players was later merged with a competitor and renamed Paramount Pictures.

[33][34] Mohen also was a contributing editor and columnist for eWeek, Data Communications Magazine, and Network World;[35] in 1989, he wrote a widely quoted article, called "Seeking a Cure for the Vaporware Epidemic", writing "my own estimate is that at the time of announcement, 10% of software products don't actually exist ...

[36] In 1990-1992, Mohen was a committee member for setting standards for Open Systems Interconnections Protocols, with representatives from computer and telecommunications organizations from around the world.

[45] In February election.com acquired NewVoter.com with then internet entrepreneur and civil rights advocate Mark Strama (who was subsequently elected to the Texas State legislature in 2004), who joined election.com as Vice President.

[46] During the second week of March 2000, election.com administered the Arizona Democratic Presidential Primary, which was the first time in American history that a statewide election offered citizens the choice to cast their ballots over the web.

Shortly after its launch, the system was featured in a front page story in the New York Times,[69] after signing the Catholic Dioceses of Chicago, San Jose, and Orlando, and ParishPay received Venture Capital financing in late 2002.

Among those recruited included former CEOs Jay Bernman (IFPI), Frances Preston (BMI), and Robin Kent (Interpublic Universal McCann).

[75][76] Finally, on August 28, 2006, the Financial Times reported in its lead story, that it had granted SpiralFrog the first ever license to give away its complete catalog of music to consumers for free, in return for a share of the advertising revenues.

"This is really promising that the labels are going to finally stop kvetching and start thinking intelligently about where their money's going to come from in the 21st century," said Aram Sinnreich, of Radar Research, being quoted in the Los Angeles Times.

Robin Kent, the British advertising executive who had been recruited by Mohen the year before, attempted a spectacular corporate takeover[81] in December 2006,[82] which was widely reported in the press.

[85] He went on to sign all remaining major music publishers, and performing rights societies, financed the company with exchangeable debt,[86] and SpiralFrog.com finally[87] launched[88] on September 17, 2007.

[89][90][91][92][93][94] In June 2008, Mohen concluded an agreement[95] with the British music company EMI,[96] whose catalog was added to SpiralFrog prior to the Coldplay Viva La Vida tour.

[102][103][104][105][106] Mohen led a metaverse systems management software development team to create a technology platform to stream holograms that do not require glasses to see.
