How will you make money?
Out of the gate, we make money through Google's advertisements. (For example), Google sells the ads, Dell pays Google and Google pays us.
You've said that the site will be profitable in its first month. How is that possible?
We've done it in a way that leverages our existing cost structure. But it's based on Google's ad listings.

157 people who are focused on making the site fast and tight.
They need that many people to run it? Wow...must have a lot of traffic already :)
However, I don't get how they are going to grow the thing...if they take Yahoo's market share, couldn't Yahoo! just do the same?
And, since Yahoo owns 10% of Google, even though this is a pitch to 'compete' with Yahoo in some ways...I just don't see it. They are funding Yahoo, albeit indirectly, by leveraging Google...
Strange to me - I can't make sense of it.
Understand what I mean?
Going by the interview, they seem to be putting all their eggs in Google basket. MyWay.com should tie up with Overture or FindWhat for displaying something like 3 sponsored listing at the top (Three, not eight!). Google adwords ads can be displayed on the right hand side with a different background.
