I think it is a lot more effective to give students challenges rather than knowledge. When they get stuck (and they will get stuck eventually), then give them the knowledge they need to overcome their obstacles. Of course, you never know, without having some pre-determined way of solving something, the students might end up discovering a smarter ways of solving the same problems!

What's their business model and which site will become dominant?

Advertising models could be seen more as a competitive strategy of companies that have efficient infrastructure to target ads to software users, thus reducing the price of the software for the end user and squeezing out competition.

So, I think the lesson is to always be thinking of advertising models because if your competition is and you're not, you could find yourself priced out of the market.

Changing industries requires a lot of industry clout, which I think YC gives its budding companies, freeing them to concentrate on designing good products that create value. If the product is really good and creates real value, the industry will reshape itself somehow to reward the entrepreneurs.

On the other hand, the sheer scruffiness of a myspace and some of the content on there drastically lowers the perceived entry standards for one to participate. Therefore you have more people unashamed to put up their poorly designed sites.
