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
Jose says
I really don”t what to sound mean, but that site is a piece of j%^$# Iam going to work on my own now!
Chef Patrick says
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.
Tony says
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.
Richard says
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…
Russ says
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.
Open Domain Market says
Even a devil can be sold if its cooked properly.
You should invent or at least duplicate at light speed.
