There is a new community at BumpZee called Christian Web Workers.

It has been my heart for quite some time to be able to network with other Christians in this industry. That is the purpose of this blog (since it is obviously not for the profit) and the hope of this new community.

So if you are a Christian in the internet game, come join our community!

Money has a great article on Kevin Ham who owns a gagillian domain names.

Kevin was trained as a medical doctor but now does domaining full time.  He is also a believer.  The article says that he has a penchant for Christian domains.  To which I ask,

Can I get the hookup?

I would like to know when DMOZ got so corrupt.

My first contact with DMOZ was about five years ago. I have a family website and applied to be the editor for the category because it was taking so long to get approved. I did not complete the process to become an editor but my site was approved and it still sits there.

Years later I created a MySpace layout site and wanted to submit it to the directory. I did not know what category to submit it to so I searched for MySpace Layouts. If you search Google there are almost 24 million results.

But it seems that all those myspace layout sites owners don’t want to be listed:

That’s right. Only four in DMOZ. Though that is three more than when I applied. Unfortunately, I am still not listed and don’t suspect I ever will be.

Then I found out this was endemic.

There are hundreds for desktop wallpaper but only four for myspace layouts. Clearly the desktop wallpaper guy did not know you could make some money by not approving these sites.

Again, only 18 sites on Forex training.

The mortgage editor did not know this was so lucrative because there are a couple thousand mortgage listings: http://xrl.us/wtfd

There are more examples but you get the idea. I know Shoemoney blogged about this earlier this year but still, you gotta wonder when this will be addressed.
