The folks at Rocketboom have successfully received a $40,000.00 bid for advertising . With an opening bid of $500, thats not too shabby for a first run effort at show sponsorship. With 105 bids submitted, “starfinder5″ was the successful bidder. Details are on the eBay auction page.

Here are some highlights, that I found very interesting:

What the winner gets:

For the highest bidder, we will create five original, fifteen second (minimum) - one minute (maximum) post-roll commercials that will span five days of programming

Did you know?

Rocketboom reaches a minimum of 130,000 people per day and each day’s video, over the course of several days, receives over 200,000 complete views. Thus, the advertisement reach for this auction is currently a minimum of one million views.

Most importantly, here is some info on the Rocketboom audience demographic:

Rocketboom reaches innovators, technological leaders, futurists, trend-watchers, cutting edge internet users and media observers, including bloggers and journalists. Our viewers are international, informed, lifestyle conscious and are the first adopters of technology.
