But maybe something highly specific would be a great place to start. Like defeating patent trolls and their shakedowns.

Wish there was a site like Kickstarter for lawsuits, especially against patent trolls. Crowdfinance a bigger club to beat those trolls with.

BTW, we'd like to hire a journalist to follow up on the 99 problems piece. Investigate what happened to users of dead VC apps. Email me.

$GRPN just crashed 12%. Not because people realized the potential harm to vendors or the troubled biz model. No, analyst expectations?!

Kickstarter feels like it fulfills the promise of the web. Something that was just not possible without it and such a good cause.

Total losses for 2011 were $207M. But they are claiming next quarter might make a $15-35M profit on $510-550M in revs. Or a 3-6% margin.

Actually, Craigslist is probably the best example. Rumored revenues in hundreds of millions minus Tiny staff + no VC = big bucks!

Maybe local is like spotting oil on the moon -- yes, it has value, but it's just too costly to extract with available human technology.

So given that Angie's List, Yelp, Living Social, and Groupon have all failed, are there anyone who can turn a profit on local ads?

What's even more awesome is that Yelp presumably has been losing money for 8 years straight. They were founded in '04. Took $56M in VC.

Also, I love the balls on the IPO crowd these days. 58M in revs, 7M in losses for 9 months. Yelp IPO asks for a cool $100,000,000!
