He also offered to buy my reasonably successful blog for $200. True story.

Reminds me of the weekly offers I get for ww.com: "I see that you are not using your domain and we were wondering if you would sell it. We can offer you [insert 5 random figures here] and we would like to use escrow.com please reply asap."

[delete].

For their benefit i must admit i would have thought ww.com is some parked domain-squatter from a cursory glance if I didn't know better :)

The design looks a bit similar to a lot of these types of parked domains.

How so? That homepage has a 1% bouncerate...
White background, very minimal, just a bunch of text and some links- none of that is bad of course, it's just that my brain has been condition to interpret these cues as a parked domain that I reached because of a typo.

Quick examples:

That's food for thought. Thanks, I never looked at it through your eyes so it's hard to figure out what someone else sees as a 'first impression'.

I'm actually working with someone on improving the site, I'll definitely pass this on.

This is a joke, I assume.

Do you use Red5 for ww?

No, they're deadly serious (they think).

It's a variation on wowza.
