Do you think that Google owns EVERYTHING?
I didn’t know that Google owned a Twitter like site at Jaiku.com until the other day.
I sure didn’t know that Google paid for $12 Million for the privilege.
Go check out the site for yourself and tell me how its worth $12 Mills.
If nothing else it should inspire you to do your own project on a domain you already own.
Did you know that
Your blog looks better Michael
I really don”t what to sound mean, but that site is a piece of j%^$# Iam going to work on my own now!
I didn’t know and will probably never go back and again after just checking it out, lol.
Chef
I agree with you but the lesson here is that Google bought this for $12 MILLION dollars.
If that doesn’t give you incentive to build something out I don’t know what will.
Mike, this isn’t as easy as just building out a website. It’s about creating a first-of-a-kind web service and that takes a lot expertise.
Or I could be wrong and someone will make a million dollar site with a free generic script LOL.
They also own a social network by the name of Orkut.com.

fortunately, not ALL Google sites (like Knol) are a success, so, we can hope to don’t have a full Google’s web monopoly

The key is too get the socail hype machine known as techcrunch to feature you…it seems to do wonders for getting vc money, although they turn a blind eye to some of the better web strategies that actually make money…
What’s the saying…. everyone’s good at something, but no one’s good at everything.
Google has quite a history of buying promising sites (sometimes for lots of money) and letting them wither or die.
Even a devil can be sold if its cooked properly.
You should invent or at least duplicate at light speed.
