They claim to be aiming for profitability in their first month. By way of
sponsored text listings. OK, ads. But when you go to their "advertise" link,
they give you some cutesy trash about not running advertising on their
site...

So, how are they going to become profitable when it's hardly obvious that
you can run sponsored text listings?

Are they a google spin-off? They show a staff photo of 40+ people. Either
they're volunteers, or someone's paying for a lot of text-listings!

Any ideas?
