that you were chasing opportunities left and right trying to find something that produces the most
easily measured page views for ad metrics and answers is the easiest (return to a static/refresh model)

just a hunch. no offense dude, but steve jobs you are not. your sites are nifty and interesting, but they are
not new product categories, new technology or defining standards, they are simply a collection of ‘me too’
business models (as evidenced by your own statement that everything you’ve done has been done before)

but with that said, i really DO like mahalo answers – in fact, more than yahoo answers – there would
appear to be far less crap (right now) and strong motivations to keep ‘great answers’ in check through
a combination of real and imaginary currency…
