To Be or Not To Be, That is the Domain Question
adaptation by Mike Banks Valentine
with apologies to Shakespear
To be, or not to be: that is Domain question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of slow, free servers,
Or to take arms against a sea of wannabees,
And by opposing, end them. To search: to seek;
No more; and, by anonymity to say we end
The heartache of a million useless search results
That eBiz is heir to, 'tis a relevancy
Devoutly to be earn'd. To look; to seek;
To find? perchance to link! Ay, there's the URL;
For in search fatigue domain names may come,
When we've shuffl'd off this long URL,
Must give us pause. There's the address
That takes gigabytes for so long a name.
For who would bear the tilde and subdirectory,
The competitor's URL, the name so catchy
The pangs of taken domains, the listing delay,
The insolence of Yahoo, and the spurns
That patient merit of unworthy geocities,
When he himself might his IPO make
Without Domain name? Who would AltaVista bear,
To grunt through subdirectories and filenames,
But the dread of something after backslash,
The undiscovered Business from whose URL
No surfer returns, puzzles the will
And make us rather bear those URLs we have
Than buy the others that are already taken?
Thus creativity does make cowards of us all;
And thus rush'd to registration of a name
We worry o'er lowly cost of reserving,
And enterprises of great riches and power
With this regard our clients turn away,
And lose the name of action.com
WebSite101 offers Domain Name Registration

************ HOT TIP! ************
TEST OR DIE!
Marketing and Advertising without testing is like
target practice with the lights off. You don't know if
you're hitting your target or just shooting blindly into
the wind like a mad man. So, you have to ask yourself
that famous Clint Eastwood question: "Do You Feel Lucky?"
I don't know about you, but I don't like to leave
things to chance. Especially not my future. I'm a
person who likes to be in control at all times.
I like to know where things are going and create
my own destiny. You really do have a choice:
You can do as the majority on the net do and
sit in front of your computer screen praying
that you'll make a sale... Or, you can take
matters into your own hands. You can grab your
advertising efforts by the ears and take command.
This is how you do it...

The Learning Fountain Network
By Paul Siegel
"The value of a network like the Internet is at least of
the
order of N-squared, where N is the number of users of the network."
So says Bob Metcalfe, inventor of ethernet and founder of 3Com.
This is so, even though most users of the Net are working on their
own projects, with very little connection with others. Imagine
what
the power of a network would be if all members cooperated with
each other for the mutual benefit of all. I Think it could reach
N-cubed!
The Learning Fountain Network is based on this principle. It has
been created to help Small Business owners who have websites,
to work together mentoring, referring prospects and planning
marketing approaches. Furthermore, to entice good prospects,
each member pledges to the following:
Excellence, Honesty, Ethics, Privacy Protection, and No
Spamming
If you are an entrepreneur, just getting onto the Web or an Internet
veteran, you may want to think about joining such a network. Until
July 1, 2000, you may become a Charter Member for FREE. But
remember, one important qualification is to have a website that
may
be deemed a Learning Fountain; one that helps visitors learn.
