"The deal announced Monday represents Diller's bet that he can transform a second-tier search engine into a more formidable threat to industry leaders Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc., much like he built the once-irrelevant Fox television network into a major media player in the late 1980s and early 1990s."
TV is a lot different than the internet. Esspecially with search engines because people only go there because of the results the produce not for entertainment value.

The next dot come boom has officially started. This one isn't going to last as long.

I think you might be wrong there. The first time it occurred they didn't know how to handle it in the stock market. Now they have a lot more experience and know a little more on how to price shares, etc. Will be very interesting.

i tried to start a search engine, but i know shit about prgramming, it failed miserably lol, i was 15 at the time though.

if that's true, they must have a better idea coming in.
