When preparing to launch a website in the future an organization/individual has two likely choices. They might decide to not put anything up on the domain they plan on launching and only announce the site once their is an actual site to show.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the U.S. economy is headed for a recession. The Federal Reserve just cut rates — again — down to 3.50%. This, coupled with oil’s rising prices, the fall of the value of the dollar, the rise in inflation, and the credit lending problems are all pointing [...]

It’s astounding to me to think about Google and then picture them buying Sprint, a “real company” in my eyes. Google’s a search company and Sprint makes things and builds things and has advertising and all the things “real companies” seem to have. But to put things in perspective, Google has a market [...]

According to the article The Lost Art of Blogging in the Sydney Morning Herald, Australia is drastically underrepresented in the blogosphere.

Anil Dash draws up some great conclusions about the new “built to flip” economy and I couldn’t agree more. He thinks that these new “web 2.0″ startups aren’t thinking IPO but are looking to get acquired, which probably makes sense considering all the acquiring that’s been going on (Weblogs, Inc., Upcoming.org, Weblogs.com, etc.).

I was so thrilled to read our buddy Richard MacManus come through with an honest look at the “web 2.0″ world:

The cat is out of the bag, Adaptive Path’s top secret web application will be a tool for bloggers to better track traffic to their site. But wait! Shaun Inman is already working hard on a new traffic monitoring application, named Mint!
Could Inman and Veen be going up against each other head-to-head? Or [...]

Kottke going full-time.
While I don’t wish to get into the merits of why this will or won’t work, I do think it is interesting to note how fast this piece of news spreads across the web due to the power of blogs. When doing any type of fundraising drive it is important to get your [...]
