Regarding spamming breaking news:

Hehe, Brett, that reminds me of the days when I spammed newsgroups and got a flood of untargeted visitors that bought nothing, before my ISP shut me off.

That reminds me of the days when I set up free chat rooms on Yahoo and went around to a bunch of other chat rooms dropping the URL of my chat room, and pulled in thousands of chatters to my room only to spam them with my site URL, and they trampled my site and bought nothing.

That reminds me of the days when VC's threw money at traffic. What a party that was! What a hangover came the next day!

Yep, those were the good ole days! :)
