I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded. -
No particular advantage. It was probably just founded there and corp. headquarters placed in the US to better faciliatate the long term plans for their IPO.Originally posted by BRISK

I said a few months ago the internet bubble is coming back might be a smaller version but it will still be a bubble where people will lose their pants all over again.
See when I start getting calls from people asking "I have money what can I invest in" when it starts burning holes in peoples pockets the stupid investments follow.
Whats causing it well everyone is like "shit I should have invested in google" everyone is now motivated to invest in the next google even thou few will make the cash they make but they just want to be part of the next big thing, most companies will burn and die quick they run thru cash like its water.

I said 18 months ago we're in the early staged of the next internet boom.
I bought shit loads of Overture and and findwhat stock, made a real nice penny
As far as the bubble we're not close to it yet but getting there.
There is a lot of good things happenin on the web and tech for this growth to continue for some time.
It does feel like 98-99 all over again

Agreed, I think the thing most analysts & investors are missing is that there are no Barriers to Entry on the Web. Competitors can pop-up, copy your idea (or improve it), and catch on like wildfire all from the comfort of a basement or garage.
What does Google have that justifies a PE of 225?
Were they first to market with a 17 year patent on their product?
Where is their unique business proposition? They've already got competition in every segment of their business.
Google isn't going to corner the market on Web traffic or ad revenue, they're just going to be hot for a while until the competition catches up and shares in the profits.
Shopping.com? I don't know much about the company but I do know that a company by the name of Shelron has released a beta version of ActiveShopper, comparative shopping software that claims to provide the same service as Shopping.com but runs in the background while you surf.My IQ is higher than my postcount, but it hasn't really helped me that much....Comment

>> Shopping.com? I don't know much about the company
PRIME DOMAIN
its the largest shopping comparison site online

Bizrate.com and NexTag.com are its biggest competitors
other than that nothing unique or original hereComment

As for another bubble... pay very close attention to profitability of the companies. Some companies may be overvalued, but I seriously doubt Google is going to 0.
Anyone have any finacials for shopping.com other than what the article states?
"Shopping.com lost $6.6 million through the first half of this year, but has demonstrated it can turn a profit, earning $6.9 million last year on revenue of $67 million. Revenue so far this year has increased by 70 percent. "
It will be interesting to see where the dictionary-domain companies go. Are they really the equivilant to generics in marketing?Comment

It was started by 2 young guys in Israel and sold early on to AOL.
I believe it was in 98 for around $300 mil. They had zero revenue at that time, just a large userbase.Comment

a little history lesson:
full article:September 22, 2003
The Shopping.com domain name has a long and interesting history. The property was originally created by former navy seal and serial retail entrepreneur Robert J. McNulty in 1996. Incubator Idealab invested seed money of $250,000 in Shopping.com (Idealab also spawned GoTo.com, known today as Overture), and the company rode the dot-com boom and went public in November 1997, raising about $10 million in the process. Despite SEC charges of stock price manipulation, the company was purchased in March 1999 by then AltaVista parent Compaq for about $220 million in cash. AltaVista had high hopes for its new property. Rod Schrock, then Compaq Senior Vice President and Group General Manager, Consumer Products, said of the purchase: "The Internet is fast becoming a transaction medium in addition to a content medium. Today, AltaVista becomes the first site to fully combine these two capabilities into one synergistic user experience. Our intent is to make AltaVista the leading guide for both information and e-commerce on the Internet." The intent didn't last long. In October 2001, AltaVista said it was outsourcing its shopping search functions to Dealtime, saying online shopping was no longer a core strategy. As part of the deal, AltaVista transferred ownership of the shopping.com domain name to Dealtime

history repeats itself?
but I am glad that the tech/ipo/vc market is back.Tue Oct 26, 5:22 PM ET
Nirav Tolia, Shopping.com's president and chief operating officer, resigned in June after the company received information claiming he had faked part of his educational background and job history, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (news - web sites). The documents didn't detail Tolia's alleged fabrications. Investors in a Epinions, a company that Shopping.com bought last year, also are threatening trouble. The company warned in its IPO papers a group of Epinions investors are demanding damages for alleged insider misconduct by Tolia and others when Shopping.com negotiated the takeover. The Epinions investors want to be paid 1.8 million to 2.4 million Shopping.com shares ? a stake worth $52 million to $69 million after Tuesday's trading.
