Dogs with fleas...

Interesting to note. Twitter has an estimated monthly user base of 40-70 million (http://www.quora.com/How-many-active-users-does-Twitter-have...). That said, they are valuing each customer at between $200-$114 each. Just thought I would put that out there...

Maybe Steve Jobs left as CEO of Apple to run Yahoo???

Okay, so there is one customer who is buying this new Anti-Airbook... Any others??? Don't think that there are many people searching, and I quote, "to find a 13" MacBook Air that isn't made by Apple." You have to just laugh this off...

I disagree about netflix. Reason being is they don't have the same caliber movies as spotify has songs. The Amazon Prime Instant Movies is getting close, but someone has to lock down a deal already!

Awesome post with the techcrunch article :) I guess if spotify can make deals with major music labels, the same or similar applies to movie studios.

You have to earn respect no matter what profession your in. Zuckerberg is a Coder. Sergey and Larry, Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey, etc.

Much needed in the U.S.

Interesting you brought this up. Check out this mixergy post: http://mixergy.com/brendan-blumer-accounts-ne-interview/

Serious money to be made...

You could do that and add book costs aggregations as well. Like Chegg.com vs the other book renting/buying services.

True. Sign up for yCombinator :)

Great post! To your point on the "little price competition" - Every industry has that.

Why can't you niche the daily deals for spas? Allow one of your Spa customers to do a daily deal on the home page along with having a listing of local places.

I would put myself into my customer's shoes in this case. What would I want to show if I was searching for a spa?

Again - great post.

I think what this subject is really interesting because people are always looking and needing to buy things. So, making a marketplace for businesses is very interesting when the marketplace says "We're going to give you an unlimited amount of leads for this monthly fee". Those leads could be worth $1 mill for the LTV (Life Time Value) of that customer you attained.

From the consumer's side - we're already seeing it through the group buying sites (groupon, living social), but now we're looking for the "Niche" sites that do the same thing. I believe there is a big market for this and its already proven.

About a year ago, I thought there could be a site with these features using the twitter/facebook api for leads. Something like SocialLeads.com - name your price and have people fight for your business by outbidding each other. Like google does, but for niche markets and in reverse - for social.

Contact me if you want to dialogue about this...

NICE!

This is in a response to http://www.leaky.com/ just launching

I asked that before - there are a couple of these. http://www.thedealmap.com/

They aren't "hackers", they're engineers

How many combustible cars have you seen on the road over the past couple of years?

Awesome Info!

Someone should just patent the patent: "conferring a right or title, esp. the sole right to make, use, or sell some invention" Joke

Wonder why they quit it? You can also search other sites (facebook, blogger, etc) using Realtime Search.
