Is that email message legit?

CNET runs an interesting story about analyzing the source of the e-mail message in order to determine how legit it is. Similar things have been popping up here and there for a while now, but it’s good that mainstream started to pick up on consciousness of the simple process of reading e-mail.

Stats, damn stats and lies.

While looking at this web site stats (and I can see many web sites stats) I can’t help but notice – the top search keyword turns out to have absolutely nothing to do with this blog. The search term is – SITCOMTV.COM. Apparently, the first result leads to the post on this very blog describing the work on sitcom community. This was my own personal idea and initiative, that people who like sitcoms (especially discontinued ones, like Cheers, Three’s Company, Married… With Children) would gather around the forum and share their experiences. The idea was mostly inspired by the work that fans of the Friends sitcom have done – there are numerous fanfic episodes with names ranging from mimicking originals (like The One With Ross And Rachel) to absolutely fantastic (The One Where Aliens Visit The Earth or something like that).

The initiative have failed so miserably, I didn’t even park the domain anywhere until today. I’d be lying to myself if I would say I have time to start-up the community again. After all, the Zealus’s own community is underway for way too long. I am, however, willing to sell the domain name (possibly with some hosting space on Netfirms, if you don’t know any better) for some considerable amount. Alternatively, I may consider some offer of investment to make me want to free up some time to start the community.

Creative Advertising done RIGHT!
