Webmaster World is a damn good site. I have been lurking, reading, posting and pondering there for 5 years now. Seems like it is not that long, but I guess i am getting old. At first I was highly annoyed at the insistence on anonymity. For example, when discussing a site problem, you must use a generic name like widget.com to describe the site.

It seemed stupid at first, but then I started poking around at other webmaster sites and found them cluttered with way too much spam and self promoting url-drops. Very annoying and then I understood the point of “widget .com” . So go there and learn - and read the charter so that you don’t get smacked too often

Webmaster World

Micro-Hoo. This will never work

I have no idea what kind of crack these people are smoking, but this merger/aquisition will never work. Two BIG companies with two BIG cultures and they are going to duct tape them together and magically take on Google. Would you like to buy a bridge while you are at it? Lightly used, vintage construction in the NY area. Reasonable price, OBO….

Bill must have done a little bit more dope in Harvard than he lets on. Does anyone remember TIME/AOL? Or how about almost ANY merger. They don’t work. They work on paper, but companies are not plans on paper. They are humans, with egos, and power trips and defense of turf and posturing at the water cooler and every other stupid thing that we all do. Put two different cultures together and get a pile of crap. No synergies, just wasted money.
