MB. Am I the only one with the lightbulb in my brain turned on? Here is what journalists have written about Earthweb:

"New York-based EarthWeb sold 2.1 million shares in a deal headed by J.P. Morgan. Online broker Wit Capital was the "e-manager" handling online distribution of the IPO. More than 11.5 million shares changed hands."

No doubt there are lock-ups in place on all shares except the 2.1 million shares plus over-allotment issued in connection with the IPO. (I haven't checked yet, I'm still in shock.) So if the lock-ups are in place then the float on EarthWeb turned-over about 6 times today!! Am I missing something here?

It seems like this bubble is way out of control.
