I still doubt any of these places are worth a dime really, except to the people that created and sold them...

Investors also are totally scared of losing out, now is the time to get VC again for internet sites... think of a site that does something with "blogs", "xml", "social networking", "ajax", "web 2.0" or any combination thereof and as long as you can write a good plan you are sure to get big VC....
Yup, its all about the traffic.
