Bothdeals,intheirrespectivedecades,illustrateagreatparadoxoftheinternetinthatthepremiseunderlyingthemispreciselyhalfrightandhalfwrong.Thecorrecthalfisthatanextbigthing--web-mallthen,socialnetworkingnow--canindeedquicklybecomesomethingthatconsumersexpectfromtheirfavoritewebportal.Thenonsequitur(推论，结论)istoassumethatthenewservicewillbearevenue-generatingbusinessinitsownright.

Web-mallhascertainlynotbecomeabusiness.Admittedly,Google,Microsoft,Yahoo!,AOLandotherprovidersofweb-mallaccountsdoplaceadvertisementsontheirweb-mailofferings,butthisissmallbeer.Theyoffere-mail--andvolumesoffreearchival(档案的)storageunimaginableadecadeago--becausetheservice,includingitsassociatedaddressbook,calendar,andotherfeatures,ischeaptodeliverandkeepsconsumersengagedwiththeirbrandsandwebsites,makingusersmorelikelytovisitaffiliatedpageswhereadvertisingismoreeffective.

Socialnetworkingappearstobesimilarinthisregard.ThebiginternetandmediacompanieshavebiduptheimplicitvaluationsofMySpace,Facebookandothers.Butthatdoesnotmeanthereisaworkingrevenuemodel.SergeyBrin,Google'sco-founder,recentlyadmittedthatGoogle's"socialnetworkinginventoryasawhole"wasprovingproblematicandthatthe"monetizationworkweweredoingtheredidn'tpanoutaswellaswehadhoped".GooglehasacontractualagreementwithNewsCorptoplaceadvertisementsonitsnetwork,MySpace,andalsoownsitsownnetwork,Orkut.Clearly,Googleisnotmakingmoneyfromeither.
