Guess what happens when you type HotBox.com instead of HotBot.com? Not cool when you're at work....:-(
Hopefully this new and improved HotBot will be comparable to Google in speed. Old one was slow, I thought.

To me that is the equivalent of sticking slashdot in a frameset with your name on the top frame, and claiming you have a new news site for geeks.
To me, it's like getting people to submit tech news to your site, linking it, and encouraging them to discuss. Yeah, that would be stupid. [/playful troll]
