A company that offered a free service/product and made a lot of money in the process by selling/leasing their technology to businesses, and then went public. - Todays "free" businesses/websites seem to want to skip the "make money" part and head straight the the IPO line. I've said this a million times, " its cute to offer your services to the public for free ... but if you cant turn a profit in less than 18 months, what good are you". For an online business that have secured a steady stream of users (which is the hard part), should now turn those "clicks" into cash. Its not cheap running those online companys, servers and internet cost a lot, per user. For all the free sites like OpenTable, Twitter, Digg, Friendster, etc ... should take a note or two from sites that are free to the public but have multiple profit/revenue stream such as, Facebook, Basecamp, YouTube, etc “Google” is a once in a lifetime company.
