PC Week is jumping onto the ubiquitous “e” bandwagon and changing its name to eWEEK. I used to read PC Week’s print issue religiously about five years ago, accumulating large, slippery stacks of it in my cube. I enjoyed Christine Comaford’s column which covered various topics on client/server development back when I was working on that oh-so cutting edge technology. Christine now appears to be keeping busy with her VC firm, Artemis Ventures, but her old Christine.com site is still up. Losing the “PC” in the PC Week name made me think about outdated store names like “Record World”. And then the strangest thing happened. I typed www.eweek.com in my browser and was redirected to www.simple.com. Then I tried www.recordworld.com and ended up again at www.simple.com. I thought maybe I had miskeyed something and gone back a page, but I tried recordworld again with the same results. So I did a whois search and found out that eweek.com and recordworld.com are owned by the same folks, who, obviously, also own simple.com. That’s got to be the oddest thing that’s happened to me on the web — at least this week. It’s as if the web itself is validating my oblique trains of thought. The web connects all.
