Must pay homage to Graham Hill, founder of multiple startups including treehugger.com recently sold to Discovery.

Great list Heri. I hope to see many names on it.

LP,

my point was that some (like J.F Dubé) lookup to him.

some just want to setup a local, nice website, with a cool audience, and I am perfetly ok with that.

but it’s also sure that many, like you, lookup to bigger successes.

we will feature all those in the new section

Really? lol you think people lookup to him? I definitely lookup the people who changed the industry and not small local success. I’m actually surprised those site have been bought.. they look really bad and I would of never gone onto it if it wasn’t for the link. Also, branchez-vous looks so 2000… it’s web 2.0 hire someone with usability expertise and change that design it’s terrible.

By the way, the strategy isn’t to acquire new sites on a bi-montly basis …

It just happened that way … we worked hard for months and everything folded in place at the same time.
