4/5 (all except for the paying customer) isn't too bad, right? Plus, I'm using my own money, and I use look.fo on a daily basis, so perhaps I'm the paying customer?

Sneaky. Almost did not notice the plug. What about revenue ? Without a revenue mechanism, it's not a bussiness, it's a hobby.

Almost, right? :)

Theoretically, AdSense for Search revenues. But it really is more of a hobby; you're right. Do you use IM? If you do, take a look - no registration required.

I think you have it backwards.

I'd say 1/5. Having a customer is the only thing that makes it a successful business.

Otherwise, it's just a fancy hobby.

By that logic, wouldn't you have to claim startups aren't businesses unless they have funding? I mean, I guess that's arguable...
