Neekanee (http://www.neekanee.com) - it's a job search engine that scrapes jobs directly from company websites. Everything is written in Python/Django. Right now it scrapes jobs from around 1100 different companies and has features I had always wished were available in other job search engines: ability to filter by company size, type of company (.org, .gov, ...), vacation time, etc.

What is the valuation for a non-subscription, one-time fee, web application (like Bingo Card Creator) as a multiple of monthly revenue?

Rob Walling writes about this in Start Small, Stay Small ( http://www.startupbook.net/ ), and I think he mentions a range of 5x - 36x monthly revenue. It's dependent a lot on how automated and easy to maintain the site is, and how high the quality of traffic and revenue is.

I created Devoired ( http://devoired.com ), an academic-assistance freelance contracting site targeted toward college and high-school students. Backend is written in Django, front-end is a clean, slightly modified version of Bootstrap 2. Features include a user account system, fully editable subject tree, private messaging with support for attachments, and a PayPal-integrated chained payment system with configurable…

And by academic assistance you of course mean academic dishonesty/plagiarism/contract cheating.

Who would go near this as a business? Certainly unethical, possibly illegal?

A tool that helps non-profits get exposure and raise funds. Think Rally.org but for green projects (there is no crowdfunding platform for green projects). Site is complete and ready for launch: http://www.MakeTree.org. Integrated with Paypal so that it takes "pledges" from donors (ie: it only charges donors when a project reaches 100% funding). Built in Ruby On Rails. Another project of mine took off and haven't been able to find the time to get projects on board. The name, URL, messaging & branding is all placeholder. Interested in selling & partnering. Sean{ at }envirodonatecom
