re: Goto.com name, i believe they got sued for trademark or something else and had to change their name.
yeah i miss the bubble a little, i made a lot of money from Goto.com
selling traffic to them, them giving me IPO shares, me cheating the system and getting 5 times as many shares as i was allowed. that was fun 
than last few years trading overture and than getting yahoo shares.
but whatever i made, i lost out a lot more by losing our GOTO contract after only a year

someday, you and I have got to chat. might have a bit in common. lol. and gotta hear how you got 5 times more shares. you know those days may be back again.... incubators are at it again, VCs are out looking for ideas & domains. they say they're gonna play it different this round and be smarter... but I think there's going to be just as much money, maybe more, than before. side note, i think idealab sold their picasa pix/gallery software company to google right before google went public. those guys are the real players.
