I thought I could retire new rules, but it looks like that’s not going to happen. There’s too many lost souls out haunting the halls of Web 2.0 needing my wisdom bad. OK everybody, line on the left, one cross each .
New Rule: If you’re going for the world download record, keep your servers going!
Before the new release of Firefox 3, there was this huge hype campaign encouraging all of us to download release 3 on the same day to help set a record, which would be worth it’s weight in bragging rights. Well, about an hour and one million downloads later , their servers were Slashdotted, Farked, Redditted, Dugg, toasted, melted, and nerfed. Be careful what you wish for, Mozilla, you just might get it! Now, can we cool down on the marketing long enough for the rest of us to get our updates, please?

Top 7 Reasons Why I Didn’t RTFAFrom: feeds.feedburner.com

www.WebHostingChoice.com is a search site for finding web hosting services according to the guild lines you submit.
When everybody starts out to get their own web domain, their first question is “Which web host should I choose?” But just searching Google doesn’t get you the answers you want - an impartial recommendation by people like you, without a lot of advertising.
