One of the most interesting stories floating around the net today involves a little company called U Tube. No I’m not talking about YouTube.com, I’m talking about a company that actually sells metal tube making machinery.
I am constantly working with our web developer, Dale, to build up traffic for our web sites. He does a great job, and our web traffic continues to grow.
How about if you could see your site visits go from hundreds a day to millions every day, literally overnight. That’s what happened to U Tube.
All the news coverage regarding Googles purchase of YouTube.com has apparently led to a bad case of “i can’t spell it itis” on the web. UTube.com has had to upgrade its servers three times, has seen its site crash daily, and is usually unavailable to its customers and prospects. U Tube has asked YouTube.com for assistance in resolving the problem, but no offer has been forthcoming. All they really want is help in changing their domain and getting a new site up and running
U Tube, an industrial equipment vendor in Perryville, OH, has been in business over 20 years and claims, rightly I believe, that Google owes them some consideration regarding the damage that has been done to their web presence. They claim that they have lost business because customers and prospects are regularly denied access to their web site while some college student is looking for yet another video of a dog catching a frisbee or somebody dropping Mentos into a Diet Coke bottle.
Since YouTube.com has been no help in getting this resolved, Ralph Girkins, the owner of Utube.com is now trying to decide whether to sue Google or simply sell his domain name to someone who wants to instantly have millions of site visitors.
