It only takes one penny in a jar to be on your way to a million dollars.

Jayo · 02-18-2005, 07:00 PM

Id spend around 10 bucks, hahaha

ephint · 02-18-2005, 07:01 PM

crazy they have such a big adience .. when i see the about.com logo i mostly all the time close the window immidiatly

but to stay on topic .. since its a huge money maker..
more then i can afford..

and for the guy saying youre 7 yr's to late... i think is kind of right..
atleast if you are going to make another about.com clone;.

maybe it would be something nice if you have the content people are really looking for instead of what some prehistoric search function found

You really think you can do it? ...gezzz

Even if you (tried) copy all the content from their sites you wouldn't be able to do it
