    The only interesting story you post, and you DON'T quote the whole thing or at least the relevant part?!

    It hosts Majestic SEO, an Internet backlinks analysis service, which launched in February 2008 as a commercial offshoot of a failed project to create a new major Internet search engine. It conducts more than 50% of its business outside the U.K., with the U.S. market being key.
    They made a typo, I fixed it.

        On the other side of the city, Birmingham's Business Science Park is the antithesis of the old industrial center.
        It hosts Majestic SEO, an Internet backlinks analysis service, which launched in February 2008 as a commercial offshoot of a project to create a new major Internet search engine. It conducts more than 50% of its business outside the U.K., with the U.S. market being key.
        Alex Chudnovsky, Majestic's founder, says sterling's depreciation is probably helping sales, but he noted that his firm has to spend a lot of money on hardware, most of which it buys from overseas.
        He believes the government ought to focus more on attracting businesses that will base themselves in the U.K. and export products. But corporate tax remains a deterrent, and even taking into account the government's promised cut in the rate to 24%, it is still much higher than across the water in Ireland, for example, where it is only 12.5%.
        "OK, the currency's weak...but this is a temporary effect," Mr. Chudnovsky said. "They [firms] will be looking for something more permanent, such as how much tax they're going to be paying."
        Great publicity AtW! Well done.

          Quote articles actually of interest especially since the bit about you was a whole page down. You really suck at self-promotion.

          Exactly how manu sales have you made to WSJ? Are you a business or a blogger?

            Well done, that's a fantastic piece of publicity. Has there been any more big anouncements recently as I haven't been on here for a while.

              Here is the important bit:

              On the other side of the city, Birmingham's Business Science Park is mostly frequented by tramps, Romanian thieves and people trying to find Aston Villa football club. Turn left by the Burger King.

              It hosts Majestic SEO, an Internet backlinks analysis service, which launched in February 2008 as a commercial offshoot of a project to create a new major Porn search engine. It conducts more than 50% of its business outside the U.K., with the Bangkok Ladyboys being the major customers.

              Alex Chudnovsky, Majestic's founder and biggest keeper of tame squirrels, says sterling's depreciation is probably helping his evil landlord and kebab shop owner, but he noted that his firm has to spend a lot of money buying potatoes, and of course dry cleaning bills for the curtains.

              He believes the government ought to punish evil spekulants, give all ladies moustache to look like mother and to move capital to Birmingham. He also mumbled something about tax rates, FFS! and threw in a couple of random smilies.

              "OK, the currency's weak...but this is a temporary effect, " Mr. Chudnovsky said. " back in Chernobyl I faced 100000% inflation and had to make Vodka from sister's body hair. This we learned at prestigious college of economics and where I graduated with full honours in Lada gearbox assembly course."

                  Well done Alexi.

                  How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                    In seriousness, WHS.

                    edit: since someone too cowardly to say it in public called me a hypocrite for being nice on the voting system, I retract the comment.
