I hesitate to reply because I don't want to hi-jack this post.
baygo.com (always with a lower cased "b") is my personal web site. It is a 15 year old site that is popular with people who live with bandwidth disabilities. 50% of the internet users are still using dial-up. Their is a growing number of people who are turning to mobile web on their phone or netbook. These people are also among the bandwidth disabled.
Networking on the Internet is a very valuable tool. Advertising on the internet is counter cultural (ad salespeople will never tell you that). I see that you are very active within this community. I suggest you promote that instead of you participation with MySpace or Facebook. winnipesaukee.com will attract a network with local interest. Encourage your friends and family to visit and participate on winnipesaukee.com because that activity will help push key words like "boating" "restaurant" and "lodging" to the top of many search engines. There are over 500,000 search engines in use worldwide. Some engines index based on the amount of activity and interest on the pages related to the key word. The more activity this community can create in one web location the better our chances as a community. LR businesses are doing us or themselves no justice when they promote Facebook or Myspace communities. They need to promote local so we can emerge global. I'd rather see Laconia Savings' ads that read "find us on winnipesaukee.com" rather than "find us on facebook"
No the web master is not funding me. I apologize to him or her for the direction I've shifted the thread. My Bad! Perhaps the web master will consider a forum category appropriate for this conversation.
