Long before one could see the recession in the horizon my partners and I have been hard at work to break out of the domain cycle. This was about 2003 when we made our most important decision ever: Stop buying domains and focus on building businesses.

Like all beginnings it was venturing into the unknown. We had ideas, ...
Yahoo! announced recently that it is shutting it's Geocities hosting at the end of 2009 and asking users of this free hosting service to move to their yahoo!
