We try to look for a business tie in with products we review in the Web Developer's Journal but it doesn't always work out.
January 8, 1997
There was a big argument in the office about whether or not we should devote major coverage to soundboards. One faction said there's no real business use for soundboards, another faction said soundboards are perceived as having possible business uses and yet another faction said there are definite business uses for soundboards but you have to be very creative to think of them. Guess who won (August, '94). I suppose there may be some business uses for E-Mail Addresses of the Rich and Famous but I haven't figured out what they are yet. At any rate, it's a fun book.
90% of the names listed are for people I've never heard of so they must be rich. There are no listings for Uma Thurman, Julia Roberts or Bruce Morris although Butthead and Beavis each have their own separate listing. Claus, Santa is in there and so are Kennedy, Ted; Venditto, Gus; Waitt, Ted; and Clancy, Tom. Bozo filters, twitt filters, and firewalls may prevent rubbing digital shoulders with many of the personalities listed but it's fun to try and, who knows, maybe Sterling, Bruce will E-Mail back! Celebrity may be long lasting or fleeting but once you have it you can never quite keep the great unwashed masses at a distance again. This book makes it even harder to do so but who cares? The celebrities? Who cares if they care? That's why they're celebrities, right? Or rich.
