Twitter spent 20 million and did not have a monetization method. A company I have been trying to find information on is http://www.boomja.com. Both Google & Yahoo agree that the next wave of search is human edited search. Boomja.com is on the right track and I think they will be the next big thing on the internet because they have a monetization method, are already creating revenue, are delivering a great product for their target audience, and creating limitless jobs by partnering with their users. Imagine combining Wikipedia with Google. Boomja uses humans to organize the internet, splits advertising impressions with editors, and creates targeted search categories. This is a natural fit for Google because they use Google’s AdSense ads to generate revenue.
