Today's Mercury News has an article on where VC money is going
in the San Francisco Bay Area. The third entry on their list is
none other than Alladvantage.com, in Hayward, "Internet Advertising" -
the spammer group we've been complaining to/about lately as their
users have been spamming us :-) They may be harder to get rid of than I
thought...
or they may be more reasonable because they've got $100M of OPM
whose owners don't want to lose it.
Second on the list is DoveBid.com, who we've also gotten spammed by,
though that was probably somebody signing up with cypherpunks@somewhere
as their email address. They do B2B auctions, and got $109M.
They've actually been in the industrial auction biz since 1937....
There are also a variety of companies doing reasonable-sounding things,
and companies things like named Zippy!Zap!Y!owza! who appear to be
in the buzzword generation and tree-shaking business.
Thanks!
Bill
