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. I would have to agree about the business model of zillow.

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.

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.
