The pattern is familiar. 1) Give away stuff for free and run your company on VC for a few years. 2) Start putting in ads slowly to demonstrate to your investors that you do indeed have a viable business plan. 3) Increasingly annoy your customer base, which is now trained think that everything in the world should be free, by adding more and more ads. 4)Increase the annoyance factor of the ads by making them harder to avoid in a desperate attempt to generate revenue, since your VC is running out and your investors now want to see returns. Like the last .com bust, a few companies will survive this one. But most of these sites are going away soon. Is it me, or is this starting to look like the early stages of the next .com crash?
