Today’s roundtable was a difficult one, as I had to tell an entrepreneur not to proceed with his business that is ready to launch. Shamoon Siddiqui presented MetroFlats.com, a vacation rental marketplace he plans to launch next month.

This strikes me as disingenuously naïve and exaggerated–Google’s been selling adwords for some time; suddenly we’re concerned about how that might impact the flow of information
