There's some good new customers, but AKAM's press release about doubling their customer base is so puffed-up it's hard to read it through to the end.

""The pace at which our customers are discovering the significance of Akamai's FreeFlow service is a
testament to what this technology means for delivering a better Internet," said George Conrades,
chairman and CEO of Akamai. "As a company, we are extremely proud to be working with over 200
world-class Web sites who are using the Internet to accelerate their vision. Our goal is to help these
eBusinesses succeed by stretching the outer limits of the `Net, making Web performance issues a
distant memory."

Yuk. Any technology this good should basically have ascended by now.

The word "proud" is used about 7 times in the press release. Doesn't pride come before a fall?

Show me the money George.

(OT) Anyone see the CEO of FMKT on CNBC asked if he would invest in his company at the current stock price? That was pretty good.
