Small teams making big money

I was at lunch today with a friend and we were talking about potential businesses that although wouldn't be huge, would provide a reasonable, if not very good return. One area we started to talk about was search add-ons, or tools companies, that potentially can be created with a small team and which, if done properly, can be sold for a nice little pay day.

Of course, we felt like the lookout purchase by microsoft was a prime example, and following lunch we returned to our 'normal' jobs. Jeff Nolan has a brief piece congratulating Eric and Mike on the purchase on the company. see his article here.
