Good Bye 2008, Hello 2009

December 31st, 2008 Comments off

Judging a year by the events and results within it will do no justice, as many correspondent events will only manifest in the future, at times, many years afterward. The tech bubble of 2001 brought many prosperous years to many, possibly even to you. There’s no doubt 2008 was a an extremely historical year. From an African American president to the collapse of financial giants, the bombing in Bombay to what now goes on in Israel. As for the domain channel, I believe the house of cards had to collapse for something bigger and better to emerge. It is those events who push the boundaries for all, and in the long run, I do believe for the better.To me, 2008 signifies diversification, peace of mind, progression, and new beginnings. Our company Recall Media Group is doing better than ever and is growing exponentially. I believe I found the woman I want to be with (Michelle), I invested further in my own health and spirit, spent time expanding my horizons (learning new subjects), and lately, I discovered the Shakuhachi, which I quickly have fallen in love with.

I’ll end here with a note I received from my dear friend Dr. Chris Hartnett:

We are not responding to this instant if we are judging any aspect of it.

The ego looks for what to criticize. This always involves comparing with the past.

But love looks upon the world peacefully and accepts.

The ego searches for shortcomings and weaknesses.

Love watches for any sign of strength.

It sees how far each one has come and not how far he/she has to go.

How simple it is to love, and exhausting it is to always find fault, for every time we see a fault we think something needs to be done about it.

Love knows that nothing is ever needed but more love. It is what we do with our hearts that affects others most deeply.

It is not the movements of our body or the words within our minds that transmits love.

We love from heart to heart.

Peace to you all,

Sahar

Almost all of our sites increased in pagerank…Woo-Hoo!  Except for this one of course.  :/  We recently changed our index page to reside at /main, so we’re thinking that is the main issue here.

YellowPages Buys YP.com for $3.85 Million

December 30th, 2008 Comments off

I just saw a story on TechCrunch reporting that AT&T’s YellowPages have purchased the domain name YP.com from the company LiveDeal for a massive $3.85 Million - also confirmed by an SEC filing.

It’s interesting to also note that the publicly listed company’s (LiveDeal’s) market cap is at just over double that amount ($8.53M).

In any case, nice deal all around.
