Internet is a pull medium not a push like the broadcast television. The old dotcoms never understood the internet and so pushed unrelevent banner ads/popups which the customer never wanted in the first place.
Search is the perfect way to monetize the pull nature of the internet. I estimate within 2 years search and its sisters contextual advertising and local search/yellow page listings will make more than 85% of the total online ad spending .
FYI last year google made more than a billion in those little boxes !. Its other revenue source like the search technology licensing and search appliance made just peanuts (10-20 million)
I remember a Slashdot article sometime ago that Indian space research organisation (ISRO) send satellites for a price less than the russian agency...
I think it will be very difficult for this guy to beat the indian price:)
I am impressed by the fact that slashdot turned off banners today.
I have to say one thing. I expected to see today a lot of cars with flags. But boy, i am disappointed. This shows how quicky we are in forgetting history.
