That is enough for Alexa. Hopefully people working for Alexa read my post and work to improve their service. Talking about Local.com, I join this company in June last year recruited by my previous boss whom

I worked for in Encore Credit Corp. (ECR). Local.com is a search engine type of business. If I don’t work for this company I wouldn’t be interested in web ranking staff and I wouldn’t discover John chow’s blog. It made the list of Alexa’s big mover a while back. And I wouldn’t start my own little experiment. And I wouldn’t learn that there were so many free tools to build web site. And I wouldn’t lean to use PHP. All these were because my wife and my new born son left to China for a few months to visit my parents and I had extra time to kill. What if they come after February? I guess I will find my way to handle it. To me it is not easy to keep up with post. Just as what John said in his post, English is not my first Language either. And I am completely technical in nature. Writing is by no means something I am good at. But you know what? I feel I am catching up.

After I Joined Local.com I asked my former colleague Frank to join me. Here is picture of me (left) and Frank (right) Frank and Andrewplaying blackjack in Local.com’s Christmas party. Frank is the nicest guy I worked with. We worked together for Pincity.com for five years. You probably used Pincity’s online phone card. In fact I bump into a lot of people using its service. Believe it or not I was the first employee of Pincity.com starting out in the owner’s home. At one point the company raised some fund from VC, I believe it is from TAMC fund, and our staff grew to around 50. The telecom market so competitive and Pincity.com was never able to grow big as we would hope. In fact one of the biggest player bigzoo.com went out of business. The bigzoo.com domain is sold and no logger does telecom business. When bigzoo.com is around it was doing about 20 million businesses a year. Now it seems that onesuite.com is the winner.

    […] That is mostly because different web browsers handle things differently. For the past month since I launched my blog I thought I have a very pretty web site. It is indeed a very pretty web site in IE7 but when I told Frank to look at my blog today I found the side bar on the right went to the bottom became a bottom bar. The layout is completely messed up and my reader can not navigate from one post to another. So Frank suggested me to replace all my header images with this following important message: […]
