little cold snap

After a couple of days of typical, warm weather, the little cold snap, with below freezing temperatures has left me and the cat unsettled. I should’ve known, though, that this was going to happen. No sooner do I pull the flannel sheets off the bed than it gets cold all over again. I was poking through some other web logs, as this is a good way to get a feeling for the times, what with the planets in evil disarray and all, and I followed some links back to the “South By” hook & grid for next month. Last year, I got teased for attending a workshop on the way the pornography sites work, but using a remarkably similar business model, iVillage’s astrology section, and the women.com’s AstroNet are very profitable web sites. The similarity is in the business model, and it’s a successful one. Maybe there’s something to be learned from the foibles of the skin trades. Now, iVillage just merged with women.com, but that’s a different thing — the deal I’m paying attention to are the way the astrology sections make a fistful of dollars.
