And across the country, individual churches like my own are sponsoring day-care programs, building senior centers, and helping ex-offenders reclaim their lives...
...earn profits on ads (for hotel rooms, for instance) and by taking a cut of tickets bought through links on the site. But Etzioni admits the chances Farecast will end up in the hands of a Web giant within five years or so are about 50-50. CNBC pundit Jim Cramer scoffs at start-ups like Farecast as sizzle without substance. "It's like, so what? I could do that company," he says.
