[edit] Amount Network Solutions was Aquired for

On the page Network Solutions, it states that the company was aquired by VeriSign for $21bil, however, on this page it states that it was aquired for only $15billion. I have no way to verify this so can someone clarify this for me? ^_^;; Pritchard 01:13, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I second the note about 15 bil vs 21 bil. It seems to be The largest acquisition? Is it? 209.10.89.3 14:58, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'List of well-known dot-bombs' belongs on the article 'Dot.com Bubble'

That's because on the article Dot-com bubble there is a section called: List of companies significant to the bubble with a warning For discussion and a list of dot-com companies outside the scope of the dot-com bubble, see Dot-com company.

This article is meant for Dot.com companies that didn't experience the bubble which effectively ended on March 10th 2000.

I think that section should be moved EconomistBR 04:51, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

This makes complete sense. I second this motion. All in favor say "aye".

I don't feel like modifying right now, though. I'm supposed to be learning finite element analysis.Chadoh (talk) 05:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kibu.com redirect

Kibu.com has no page of its own, but instead is redirected here. This seems strange to me. The other dot-bombs get their own actual pages. Chadoh (talk) 05:34, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
