Hello all deaf loyal readers! If you read my blog and have a blog then please leave a link below. I’d like to read your blog too. I’m looking to shake up my subscribed feeds list and the first thing I want to accomplish is make sure that I’m listening to my readers.
If you don’t have a blog, but read mine then I’d still like to hear from you too. Tell me what you like, don’t like, and want to see more of from this blog. My blog is not a democracy, but I want to understand who reads this blog and why.
I met several people and they told me they read my blog, but I was ashamed to admit that I didn’t know who they were. I want to change that. How does knowing who you are reward you, my loyal readers?
- You’ll be sure to get one more reader of your blog.
- By reading your blog I’ll understand what sort of content would be more interesting to you and possibly create more of that type of content.
- I’m going to create a “Deaf Reader Blogroll” list on the side of this blog. I’ll add you to the list. Maybe you’ll find new blogs this way as well.

A Dot-com company, or simply a dot-com, is a company which does most of its business on the Internet, usually through a website that uses the popular top-level domain, “.com” (in turn derived from the word “commercial”). While dot-com can refer to present day companies, it is also used specifically to refer to companies with this business model during the late 1990s. Many of these startups formed to take advantage of the surplus of venture capital funding. Many were launched with very thin business plans, sometimes with nothing more than an idea and a catchy name. The stated goal was often to “get big fast” i.e. capture a majority share of whatever market was being entered. The exit strategy usually included an IPO and a large payoff for the founders.
Others were existing companies that re-styled themselves as Internet companies, many of them legally changing their names to incorporate a .com suffix.
After the crash, many of the surviving firms dropped the .com from their names.
