The list of oldest registered domains starts on March 15th 1985 with Symbolics.com. The top 25 oldest domains contain a who’s who of heavy computing including IBM, SUN and INTEL to name a few. Today’s top 25 most popular websites either provide content, store content or search for it. Where things are is important and SEO/SEM have a place (even if it is not in my heart.) Content may not be a magic elixir but it is the web. Take it away and you have a big fat buy button.

What’s the difference between your Blog Writer and the online editor at my blogging service? The main difference between our Blog Writer and online blog editors is our unique Zoundry Product Placement Engine that creates affiliate links for you. Secondly, our software is a client application, meaning that it is installed on your PC instead of being accessed through a browser. Think of the difference between using an email client, like Microsoft Outlook, and an webmail service, like Hotmail. Both allow you to compose, send, and read email, but Outlook works even when you’re not online. On the other hand, you can access Hotmail from any PC or kiosk that has an Internet connection. Outlook also gives you more functionality to search, sort, and format email.
