Topannuity, From their website: >>The Travelzoo Story Since its launch in April 1998, Travelzoo.com has emerged as one of the top travel sites on the Internet. It is the first website ever to be owned by 700,000 netsurfers. Travelzoo.com soared in popularity this summer by adopting a unique, never-before see ownership concept. Netsurfers were invited to become co-owners of the Travelzoo site. And within three months, 700,000 people had signed up. And with that, the company's ownership goal was reached. As co-owners, these 700,000 netsurfers have an incentive to visit the site again and again, and to encourage others to do the same. This has led to a major boom in visitor traffic to Travelzoo. And as the number of hits increases, so do the advertising dollars the site can command. Travelzoo.com's co-owners partake in the company's profits (if the company reaches sustainable profitability and is in a position to issue dividends) through the disbursement of shares. Travelzoo was founded by Ralph Bartel, a journalist, netsurfer and frequent traveler. Ralph serves as President of Travelzoo.com Corporation. In November 1998 the co-owners elected a Board of Directors: Suzanne Durfee, David Ehrlich, Suzanna Mak, Donovan Neale-May, Carol J. Schneiderman, Kelly Urso and Ralph Bartel. For the third quarter 1998 ending September 30, Travelzoo.com Corporation reported its first profitable quarter.<< I don't know about you, but with the measly amount of shares I got from them they would have to be the next Intel for me to make anything!
