As someone who's been on the sales and marketing side (and is now on the Angel side), I agree. When I look at potential investments, if it's an internet company run by MBAs or sales and marketing folks, I immediately pass. Invest in and ke

I met the founder a couple weeks ago when he was in the US. I work for an Angel fund and the moment he showed it to me, my first response was, "how do I invest in this?" But he was already on to the VC phase. It's clever execution.

The answer, unfortunately, is simple. Yahoo and Google make a lot of money from these practices. They've enabled all this to happen. Do no evil, eh?

I disagree. It's valuable for hackers to see where money's being made on the web. Just 'cause the article is a couple years old doesn't mean that the practice still isn't happening.

I think people are smart enough to decide what they want to do when they land at a parked page. If they want to leave, guess what, type in another URL. If they want to click and ad, so be it. Another cha-ching in Google's coffers (guess

Here's what you do: Create a site or service on that name that is completely unrelated to that company's business. Then, if they go to ICANN for mediation, they'll have a lesser case than if you just have a squatting page there. If you cur
