Quoted: Ok, how’s that for a brilliant idea. Get a postal address at North Pole, Alaska, pretend you are Santa Claus and charge parents 10 bucks for every letter you send to their kids? Well, Byron Reese sent over 200000 letters since the start of the business in 2001, which makes him a couple million dollars richer.

Quoted: 3. Focus on “must have” products/features with large markets. Nice-to-have stuff all goes out the window quickly. This means avoiding merely “lower cost” or “higher productivity” plays. At CMEA we see a lot of technology entrepreneurs optimizing a small part of the solution.

4. Look for existing sales channels you can tap into. Developing new channels can be the highest cost for a startup, and is not a good use of venture capital.ShareViewed: 3 Times

Microsoft is down 6% in after hours. I'm a little surprised since the results look reasonably good.
Quoted: Microsoft's revenue rose 18 percent for both its fiscal 2008 fourth quarter and year, but the company's Online Services Business (OSB), under scrutiny due to heated negotiations to purchase Yahoo's search business, continues to falter.

Microsoft is way down, too.

PEG is PE/growth projections. The thing to consider is that these companies could miss their growth projections, especially if the economy tanks.
Quoted: So the next stop is the "middle 20". These are publicly traded web technology stocks with a market cap over $1 billion. In our analysis below, more than half have a PEG below 1.0, which tends to signal "bargain opportunity" to investors. (caution: of course that is only a starting point for analysis, there could be some real dogs in there).

Quoted: Today, Yahoo filed a presentation detailing its three-year financial plan that management gave to its board of directors in December, before Microsoft’s unsolicited bid. These rosy projections should be read in the context of that ongoing battle and Yahoo’s attempt to get a better price out of Microsoft. But this presentation also sheds some light on where exactly Yahoo sees its strengths. After going through it, vote what you think Yahoo’s board should do.

I agree. Microsoft's desire/need to sustain Windows and Office has kept it from fully embracing the power of the Internet.
Quoted: Blodgett is exactly right. As he argues, Microsoft is so focused on sustaining its massively successful core products – Windows and Office – that its approach to the Internet is inherently shackled. It has never fully embraced the dynamic power of the Internet to unleash transformative new business models. Instead, it has used the Internet in a sustaining fashion to supplement its core properties (Internet-based help for Microsoft Word, anyone?), while clinging to web 1.0 platforms like Hotmail.
