They have 4.5 Million dollars and they are getting 152,000 unique visits a month? Mr. Diller, please call me immediately for 1/10000 of the cost I can generate 150,000 unique visits. I get that SEARCH is the big dog online. If you can get a corner on SEARCH, then you are doign well, but I actually think that SEARCh is going to become more "intelligent" in the future. There is only so far, even the most powerful of algorythms can go. The best sites are the ones with live human beings who use the search engines to cull through information that is interesting or noteworthy to their audiences. If YAHOO can't beat out google, what makes you think RUshmore Drive was going to be able to. I think Twitter, Facebook, Myspace etc indicate that Black web browsers are extrememly comfortable occupying a general "space" and then carving out their communities and networks within.
