Have a great web idea, which is somehow similar in terms of requirements to yahoo answers. How much it may cost me to build a site (just web, ignoring marketing) similar to yahoo answers? Thanks.

You may find that it could cost from $200 to $5,000. The way to find out for sure is:

1. Write out your requirements and try to outline everything so that someone could build the site from your descriptions.
2. Post a job request on RentACoder, Elance, or Guru.com

You'll get bids and people will tell you exactly what it can be done for.

I am a real estate agent and want to market via internet without being labeled as SPAM. I want to send my ads out in large blasts.

Basically, if you are sending out email blasts to people with whom you have no previous dealings it will be spam.

You may consider doing a direct mail flyer campaign or marketing through a few other means (website, joint development, etc.).

If you would like to discuss other ideas, drop me a line.

Hope this helps!

I think it is, I can't see Netanyahu pussyfooting around with the "peace process" that does nothing but bring Israel death and dismembered bodies.

Long live Israel.

Good. Had he been there all along I believe things would have been different. He knows the enemy and how to deal with them.

Hi canadian boi,

I haven't heard a thing exciting for either the US or Canada.

For some reason there is a lull in new releases. I think the companies pushed out everything for the holidays and now there is a gap.

My current contract is up next month and I was hoping for something new and exciting but I can't dig up anything new and innovative in the cell phone market anywhere.

What do you think will happen in the world that will make big news?

My personal predictions:

Bush will get impeached.

Gore will win the Nobel Peace Prize and announce he is running for President shortly thereafter.

Unfortunately, we will still be in Iraq the rest of the year.

Crime will continue to get worse all over the world, especially violence against innocent children.

There will be a devastating earthquake, tsunami, or hurricane somewhere in the world in the fall months. The key word is devastating.

Such as Dianagate, Squidgygate, Troopergate etc. What is that about ?
I am well aware of the hotel name of Watergate and of the relevant event. Why is the 'gate' suffix added to these other issues ?
Five toze. I was born in 1957 mate and was at Woodstock 1969 with two older musician cousins and an uncle. Not an answer.

and don’t forget Cow & gate!

For example things Obama and McCain say they are going to do if they become president.

Try the McCain’s and Obama’s political websites: as in the ones controlled and paid for by them.
