So, we’re looking for a website that could, but probably doesn’t usually, make a sound. I think that rules out the straight dope and google, maybe a news site?

I don’t think The Dope is worth a lot of money, as per #13.

Eh, it’s all relative. It’s worth more than I could come up with. But you’re probably right. But if all we know is that it’s a website worth a lot of money, it could be almost anything. CNN? ESPN? Pandora? Yahoo?

No.  
Ready to bang your keyboard in frustration?

**It was Twitter.**

OK, now tell me where I went wrong. By the way, Twitter does make a noise when I get a new tweet to read and I read it’s worth quite a bit.

Where did I go wrong?

And who wants to go next?
