A close second would be Baidu. There are a larger number of Internet users in China and as a result, this Chinese SE is exceptionally powerful.
Beyond search engines, I would buy Rapidshare. Sure, it's popular because many pirates use it to transfer files via http... but as long as they play by the book, this is a solid web business with low staff and support (overhead) requirements that must turn a very nice profit.
Above all else, if I had a stack of money burning a whole in my pocket, I wouldn't buy 1 website. I'd buy a bunch of related ones. I would carefully research and pick a category that is growing and I think would be sustained for a number of years and then buy up as many as I could afford.

Craigslist is so full of Flaggers!!! It is a shame they have such a wide reach and such a poor way of running things.
I agree. eBay would be the one to buy. First, as you said, it needs a major overhaul, second they really have no competition.
I'd switch it to a flat rate auction model.
Thank god somebody will!!
It used to be so good. Then it was kinda good. now it's just "meh". granted I still find something occassionally worth buying, but I'll barely even sell something there anymore. it's usually just better (and easier) to use Craigslist for anything over $10.

M$If I can buy only one, I would buy GE.com. The company is by itself a mutual fund and it is in every growth sector. And they also have many ventures supporting Green planet.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7791657/
It's also one of the cheapest bluechip company right now. From google finance:
"General Electric Company (GE) is a diversified technology, media and financial services company. Its products and services include aircraft engines, power generation, water processing, security technology, medical imaging, business and consumer financing, media content and industrial products. As of December 31, 2008, GE operated in five segments: Energy Infrastructure, Technology Infrastructure, NBC Universal, Capital Finance and Consumer & Industrial. In January 2009, the Company acquired Interbanca S.p.A., an Italian corporate bank. In April 2008, Oil & Gas completed the acquisition of the Hydril Pressure Controls business from Tenaris."
If I could buy more, I have a big list - google, amazon, microsoft, reilance, cisco, exxon, etc. are on the top. These companies make money even during recession.

"Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs around the globe," as the Kiva website says.
For as little as a $25 loan, you, too, can share and practice philanthropy and humanitarian aid - serving humanity on a global scale & funding your own private economic recovery program in this global recession. Loans are usually 6-12 months long. Repayment rates are excellent. And you get to re-invest or withdraw any repaid monies at the end of the loan term.
How cool is that?!

Hi wind. Would you buying it for the social impact (rather than making profits)? Your answer is very different to the rest here...
Yes ~ I'd buy Kiva for the healing social impact potential which Kiva has on a global scale. Kiva is a non-profit organization, so it profits humankind: not the website owner.
I would buy a LLLL.com (four-letter domain name) -- like cuza.com -- because they are quicker to spell and are easy to remember.
Or maybe I would just end up buying Bido so I could make money off of those of you bidding on the website/domains that you chose! -- spreading out my risk, like in the video. The video will be interesting for those who want to think about websites/domains further, with CEO/President of Recall Media Group, the people behind Bido.

M$If a person were able to buy Twitter right now, you would have the potential to make a lot of money based solely off of the number of new people that sign up for twitter everyday.
It would probably cost less than Google or Facebook, and you'd probably see a much better percentage of return.

M$Second--- I would suggest to learn--- the positives and negatives of the website. For example, Whether the particular website will give good returns for the long term.
If I get a chance, I would like to buy a website such as facebook or some other social networking site which I believe there is a lot of growth in the future.
Hope it helps :)

One would be 'Write and Inmate', they are growing faster than some of us
thought they would. Takes all kinds I guess. The one I would pick tho would
most likely be EBAY. I love to see the things people sell or try to sell. Totally
amazes me what people will pay for some things. Blows my mind. But I do
believe that would be a good investment

Ok, if getting a return isn't a consideration.... I'll have the New York Times - nytimes.com and the company that goes with it.
Because how cool would it be to be the owner of the New York Times?
Then I'd make sure I got to go to all the coolest happenings and meet the most interesting people.
Interesting choices.
In the real world the problem with buying Google etc is you'd have to pay top dollar and you might not get your money's worth, successful as it is.
Now Mahalo would be an interesting play. I think it might just become huge. Because how many sites do I know where people have got their wives and housemates into it as well?
I was going to say Google to
Money wasn't a concern... so Google would still win over Mahalo :)
I'd need to have a few years of operating expenses on top of the purchase price in my pocket to make it real, but it would be very cool to be in Google's place.
Hah! I stay with the quality media.
Remember I have unlimited resources now. :)
I would buy Google also, because I could use it to develop a world wide literacy site. It would work like the old SRA reading materials. On the home page a person would see a horizontal bar with various colors. Clicking on a color would take you to reading materials. Each bar would be more difficult. At the end of the material, you would be graded. Fast learners could jump ahead. Eventually, I would develop this concept for every language.
I think that Google is much more influential than the NYT. Google's reach and income extends beyond content and search.
If my purchase offer works out .... you can be the VP of Google News and help build it to finally take out the NYT :)
