Skeets, not that I'm defending Yahoo etc.. valuations, but part of
what good internet companies supposedly do (Yahoo, go2net (check
their Metacrawler), other search engines, maybe zdnet, or some of the shopbots) is find
ways to organize that information and make it more accessible to you..
hope is that you "trust" their links, picks, etc.... and that is
an intangible asset for them. I don't spend enough time surfing to
have a very developed sense of which sites add this value, etc...
but over time some of them will evolve into known icons of our
commercial culture, just like you know the difference between Sears,
K-mart, Wal-mart, and Macy's or Lord & Taylor or whatever your regional
chain is... Your point (need for info to be organized, filtered)
may *strengthen* the case for internut valuations...
Cheers,
