The more interesting one is that so many vertical search plays are getting VC-funded when it is fairly clear that there do not have anything but acquistion as an exit strategy.

Its tough to imagine SimplyHired (for example) go public – huge downside is the sites they scrape stop allowing them to do so (like Craigslist did to Oodle), they are done. Metadata is of no value when the basic foundation is so fragile. And GYM can “easily” come up with this metadata, just like so many competitors have already done. (No offense, Dave!)

Something like a Healthline is way more attractive – mainly because you can search for health information on Google and get decent results and Google most likely will not pursue to make it super-targeted due to other larger goals. In such a case, plays like Healthline can survive very well. Acquisition or IPO is still an open question.

Also like one of the comments above, if a a job vertical search site makes money by using a job portals content without delivering as much revenue to the job portal, then its a no-brainer for hte job portal to shut them off. Content, in such cases, is still the key.

Next 12 months, as you say, will be interesting!

Thanks to the 200 people who joined us for the November session of the Search SIG. I found it extremely interesting and engaging, and want to thank Dan Farber, Adam Beguelin, Pete Flint, Gautam Modwhani and Tony Gentile for this. A special and warm th…

Also, I would say that in the current market, M&A is by far the prevalent exit route for venture-backed companies – however mature they are (or not). So yes, the exit for most of these companies will be an acquisition – the question is more: how soon/early.

Good to have you with us at the SIG :-).
