Do you think with Amazon and Yahoo that they're worth whatever there market cap is? No, but at least they are REAL businesses, with a visible and usable product. bingo.com is not. Not yet. Will it ever be? I could steer you to some baby dot.coms that've been promising product for a year now. A new and to me terrifying phenomenon: all that matters is the website. As I may have mentioned earlier, this concept was pioneered by: magneticdiary.com Now, though, only ONE website is not enough. Many of the newbies have two or three, as many as six or seven. Everytime they announce the appearance of one, the stock jumps. Not, mind you, that any of this means people are looking at these sites, let alone contributing to the bottom line. Yahoo and Amazon do at the least have revenues. Pretty big ones, too.
