The situation involving the American automakers in Detriot, Michigan is astounding, disappointing, and yet predictable. The companies (specifically General Motors and Chrysler) built poor products for too long, and now must live with the consequences. I've spoken to many people who assume their businesses are immune from the issues which brought down GM and Chrysler. But they're wrong - these issues can affect any business in any sector (even the Internet!).

Web hosting company Rackspace will be added to the NASDAQ Internet Index, according to an announcement from the The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. Fourteen companies will be removed from the index. The annual evaluation of the NASDAQ Internet Index is traditionally issued every March, and this year it will become effective with the market open on Monday, March 23, 2009.

The Index is designed to track the performance of the largest and most liquid U.S.-listed companies engaged in internet-related businesses.
