Simplify the Web

Easy Blog Integration. Three simple words. When you search for them on Google, there will be somewhere close to 2,000,000 websites listed. When you search for them on Yahoo, there will be somewhere close to 51,000,000. DotComOnomics isn't one of them, from what I can tell. I stopped looking after 1,000 search results.
