Well, I guess you've already read Matt's posts making the case for Like.com's success, so there's not much I can add. What is it about the site that strikes you as “fishy”? What exactly are you suspicious of?

The site is fishy: after all this "million" $ poured in, the home page looks the same to me as back in July. I tried to run some search on drugs and watches, and frankly like.com is a directory - the one you see back in 90's.

Yes, I read those "purchased traffic" posts back but my suspicion grows further more now.

I am just wondering why there are so many buzzes about this site?

Whoops, I can see how that was a little confusing. I've rewritten the first paragraph so it's clearer what Like.com does.

I was expecting a site like Searchme.com, but it looks more like a shopping site than a search engine.
