A visitor to my site sent me a link to this image thinking I might enjoy it. I did. Whacked together by Mark Hurst, founder of the Creative Good site, it tries to explain the difference between the current rash of “nt” firms.

“I think the basic problem is that their names all end in “nt”. In fact, there seem to be lots of net-oriented firms popping up with names ending in “nt”. After awhile, they all seem to run together.”

Remember the good old days when “i”-this and “e”-that were such fresh concepts that we all wanted to make them our own. When exactly did “nt” become a trend? I’d like to blame Microsoft for this one, but they’ve got enough problems to solve.
