They would be better off changing the name and utilizing the social software apps. When you stumble upon something means "finding" by "accident". Mylocator.com has been perfecting a "finding" strategy for 8 years now. The Founder is the pioneer of vertical locator cluster technology. All these major companies need a true network that is vertical, location based, keyphrase; a family of strategic vertical locator properties. MyLocator is that platform with over 1000 vertical locator channels. Entertainment can be Ebays next thing if they acquire or create entertaining "FindingEngines". Right now natural results are over(circa 1999, google, yahoo, ask, all of them), premium location is everything. 65 million domains and only about 30-50 thousand are any good. (Commonsense, top level, keyphrase, strategic, location based, vertical channels) Search is Dead, Premium Vertical Location is everything. Commonsense Vertical Location + Social Networking= word of mouth advertisng(the most valuable on the planet). Just waiting for meg to claim stumbleupon is a verb. Skype was sooooo popular. And i would guess less than 5 percent of the us population knows what it means. Stumbleupon.com is a terrible domain name.
