It's a sweet vindication for me to see others who know this economic mess was triggered (it started much sooner) in mid and late '07. I knew it when all my advertising revenue dried up ... it's never come back. Talk about hitting a reset button. But I've been online for quite some time; while it's tough to understand how big companies miss the boat on generic names, I think it can generally be brought back to an issue of egos getting in the way of generic terms. Why would Bill Gates think to get operatingsystems.com or software.com over Microsoft.com; he's got a powerful brand that allegedly will be known forever. Well, we'll see about that, what with Apple kicking serious Seattle tail these days. I'm gratified to see you blogging again, too. And your writing style ain't that bad, dude! P.S. Love Linkin Park! You do have their latest, right? Superb. It’s a sweet vindication for me to see others who know this economic mess was triggered (it started much sooner) in mid and late ’07.

Thank-you Domain Guy. I appreciate it. And you're probably right. The final fix is out there, but carpet bombing 30 million monthly visits probably isn't it. Maybe surgical strikes like you're talking about .. I'm working on something. You'll see it soon. Just an experiment. i hate google and the new ie9 i do not need search suggestions i know where i want to go and will reguardless of what these companies do.and i am glad others do not like google instant.
