well, trial and error. "the next big thing" is out there and they try to find it by luck!

if i would be founder of such a mega-hit and have my BILLIONS on the savings account, I honestly would loose it, too!

that approach is not too dumb. Most of all, it is quite new in that scale. My only fear is: all those employees, no matter of the titles, were not smart enough to start the "next big thing" on their own.

To make something big, IMHO, you need endurance and the will to dedicate 24x7 to it. Then still you got a pretty good chance to NOT succeed!

Kudos to all the self-employed webmasters, who make a living and are NOT on the plex: YOU might start the next hype!

In deep believe,
P!
