Their capabilities for incorporating UGC into their destination pages provide a role model for site development. See http://www.90210.com for an example. Their stock has been massively shorted over the last year. I think Marchex is still hugely undervalued. They have so much on their plate that they have not made much of an effort to share their platforms with third-party domain owners. The Marchex people who I know do not park their domains at Marchex because the PPC payouts are relatively small. The way Marchex is putting the pieces of their business together could be reproduced by a new entrant with the drive and capitalization to succeed.
