@davidw - I bet you get value - enjoyment/quality of life, not money - by building "cool stuff" that's useful. Why not use this along with your frustration to offer something so much better than sourcetool.com? Take their general approach and make it sooooo much better.... identify who users are and what they want or just build it b/c it helps you. Things like ... - better interface for their search (take their search tips and put an intuitive interface on it) - revenue model of ads for specific listings. For example, listing Z pays $x to display a banner add everytime someone searches for "ball bearings" on the site. We'll call it the "<your domain name> words" programs (ala AdWords). - drive revenue to the site through multiple means like using Google Adwords, ads in industry magazines/websites, word of mouth, blogging - offer other features like customers join to have emails sent to them whenever new listings appear based on certain search terms. Then you start building a customer base of which you can analyze what are they want (e.g. ball bearings) and who they are (work at a manufacturer with $T in sales). And then you tell all the ball bearing listing that "hey we have X people interested in ball bearing, don't you want to pay $$$ for a banner ad? oh my gravy, i have to stop.... i'm so excited and typing so fast I can barely breath
