FamilyKB

It appears FamilyKB has few readers; it sure does not have many
posters, but it munges the content so much that most readers could
assume the posters are FamilyKB members. However, if you compare
FamilyKB "content" to the actual sources, you can see the posters have
nothing whatever to do with FamilyKB. Even worse, its "Parenting"
forum aggregates content from misc.kids and *other* sources. I think
its business model is to make FamilyKB *appear* to have a lively user
community, so maybe it will attract users and can be sold for millions
of dollars. The business model looks to be a total flop.

I have read that Google paid 400 million for eGroups, which became
part of Google Groups. Google Groups started off as just another
interface to Usenet, but now it looks more and more like Yahoo.
