No, I don’t think so…
Besides the obvious ramifications with the good folks who’ve busted their butts to put b5media together and make it work within their business model - it would simply pi** me off to think that someone is trying to get over on the comment system!
With the caveat that I might be wrong, […]

Putting those three words in the same sentence ought to earn you… a night in purgatory or something similar. That is almost the same as putting “Scott Cleland” “Net Neutrality” and “Truth” together.
From “In State of the Union, Bush to begin framing legacy”
“After all, few people still are looking to Bush for political leadership, says […]
Can anyone tell me, since I wasn’t in attendance, how Scott Cleland was received at the University of San Francisco Net Neutrality Symposium? “All accusations and assertions and little argument or accuracy?” SCOTT!

Jay Westerdal initiated the rumblings online with this post: Google to kill Domain Tasting
He speaks of an apparent policy change by Google which will end the opportunity to monetize parked domains. That ought to mean that Google will have to dismantle Adsense for Domains? I don’t think that’s the most important item on Google’s agenda […]
