This will be my last post on the WhyPark Insider. Wow what a year!
I started this blog on May 15, 2008 shortly after I made an investment in WhyPark. Exactly one year later Parked.com bought Whypark. Incredibly ironic is I made this statement in my first post

A few days ago we highlighted a customer's domain Go Telepresence as one example of how you could use WhyPark to quickly build sites. Since then he has made a few tweaks and put the site on a Name Pros Wed Site Design Review thread. The feedback consensus is "this isn't a parked domain."
