Death of a Once Cool Site
Used to really like Killer Startups but the site has really sold out lately. Just checking out the Site Reviews category a second ago and was amazing at the junk on there. Every single site featured started with fro___. Looks like they’ve hired someone to just write up every single website as a “Killer Startup” in an effort to drive more traffic to the site. Looking deeper at each individual page has 12 Adsense ads on there. Ugh…good luck earning your AdSense pennies, KillerStartups, and happy trails…

Bravo for the men and women down in Dearborn. A little bright news for the metro Detroit area is always welcome…
Prob my favorite Halloween costume that I’ve come across this year. Not sure my friends are quite geeky enough to dig this, but its on the short list for my costume next year…

My buddy Joe is running across America, starting in just a few days. Help him out by sending a few words of encouragement or by donating (he’s running for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society).

Yahoo Gives Up Search and Gets Nothing Back
Yesterday’s Yahoo-Microsoft search deal is a complete mystery to me from Yahoo’s perspective. They have now essentially given up on search and handed over their current #2 market share to Steve Ballmer & Co. all in an effort to reduce costs? Now I realize that reducing costs is critical for companies right now, but this move effectively eliminates Yahoo from the search game. With Microsoft at the controls, Yahoo can only just sit back and collect rev share on search traffic on thier site.
If the partnership pays off then Yahoo’s bottom line will grow in the interim, but Microsoft’s will too in addition to MS getting all of the branding advantages, control over future optimization and they now have Yahoo on a leash to boot. I just don’t get it, can anyone at Yahoo really be excited about this? Now its display advertising or bust for all of the Y! employees? Let’s hope there’s something else up their sleeve to keep Yahoo relevant, cuz they’re headed the wrong direction currently.

BizEquity - Rapid Online Company Valuations
Just stumbled across BizEquity.com which with just a few parameters of information can help you valuate a business. Not entirely clear how the valuation works, but from the inputs that it asked me for when trying it out, it looks like the CAPM using a number of different variables to come up with the most accurate discount rate.
There’s even an Accuracy gauge that shows you how accurate the system feels that the valuation is. The more info you provide, the more confident BizEquity is in the valuation. Obviously wouldn’t rely on these number for any actual sale or purchase, but it is a fun tool and could help narrow in on a valuation range.
