My gut reaction reading this article was "Oh great, someone didn't learn from the 90s."
But once they started talking about Sandberg and Andreessen annotating books, speeches, reports, etc... that has to be where they're headed. I can see some sort of monetization strategy there.
If the site focus eventually shifts (and I doubt this was planned from the beginning) to "true experts explaining things," I can see a lot of potential there. Maybe not "bigger than Google," but certainly far "bigger than a lyrics explanation site."

Pretty trivial to monetize as well. Many of my friends who do music tied apps are at the point of swapping out the affiliates and common payment providers for direct credit card exchange deals just to optimize percents even.
