I came across this in a blog about marketing.

Here's a paragraph:

"I don?t know about you, but I sense a marketing opportunity here. Someone will be smart and start an independent site for American Girl aficionados to speak to one another. They will build the site up, get hundreds of thousands of members, and when they reach critical mass, a Mattel executive will get wind of the site, and offer a few million dollars to buy the site, and its member information."

Hah hah! Is someone here trying to make lots of $$$?
