Google/Yahoo/Adobe did you a favor. Dump the consumer-facing site and business model and reposition yourself as an enterprise software business, which will greatly increase your chances of monetizing this. Sell it to Autonomy or one of its competitors, or perhaps to one of the enterprise content vendors like Vignette and their ilk. I'm sure a little research would reveal other such opportunities. Take a look at this company: http://www.ephox.com http://www.ephox.com. It sells a WYSIWYG web content editor. Those things are a dime a dozen on sourceforge. They probably wouldn't cover their own hosting fees if they tried to sell a consumer/developer-facing version. So they have wisely embedded themselves with enterprise software vendors and are doing quite well for themselves as a result. Transform your company into an Ephox. Forget all the consumer-facing Web 2.0 BS you read about on HN and TechCrunch and focus your time and energy where the real money is: in corporate IT.
