Slashdot: Nationwide Domain Name/Yard Sign Conspiracy


I have noticed singles signs in at least three different states myself. These signs are part of "a massively coordinated and well-funded guerilla marketing machine...."

$45 million and 10,000 domain names later,

They did a great job of making it look like it was just some lone guy with a couple of domain names, a pickup truck, some cardboard and the will to put these signs up in strategic areas.

I may have checked into one of the singles sites, but I haven't been single since around the time these signs popped up

Didn't mean to double post...
