    Interesting. I used to have a lot of friends who worked for "The Internet Company, Inc." which was internet.com before they failed and sold the domain off.

    This was always one of the scarriest things to me. How can a company that owns internet.com fail?! All you have to do is put a credit-card submission form on your home page with a "give us a dollar and get your name on our site" or whatever. Remember, if you just type "internet" into most browsers, you end up at internet.com. How many newbies do you think do this? The answer, as I recall, was lots.

    Ah well, leave it to a startup to not see what they've got.
