it offers a new way to compete with salary.com, but what is going to be their business model? A free site http://www.salarylist.com publishes some interesting salary data as well. Seems that they get it officially from government. Salary is really complicated topic, depending on experience, location, etc. In the future I expect, AI is going to be applied

I think they ultimately fail. Keep in mind that Expedia was never a start-up, it was hatched inside of Microsoft. It’s hard to give Richard Barton credit for Expedia because it only became successful by tapping into the massive traffic firehose known as msn.com

How much longer will Zillow have to prove itself?

I would have to agree about the business model of zillow. Seems that even though they are bringing in some cash from ads, but they have some hefty overhead. And they have tens of millions in VC backing that they are burning through. I also heard that this is a real estate type site. I heard it is an online brokerage. Will be interesting.

Zillow does have a business model: Selling ads. I used to think that they did between $10-15 million in 2007. Now, I think they did less than $10 million. Maybe less than $7 million. This blows me away.

If Zillow doesn’t find a business model Richard will be the ex-CEO pretty quickly.

If it were going to be anything related to Real Estate, Rich would be doing it under the Zillow brand. My guess is that it is something in the employment space. BTW: this is news because 3 experienced players are starting a new company/brand. They are very experienced with successful startups…so I’m interested to see what they come out with.

Can I ask what’s the rationale behind this post? We know nothing about the “mystery” product. So, is it about the founders? But even then, why not talking about some less known guy who might actually need the buzz to get out of his obscurity?
