I’d first like to thank Michael Arrington of TechCrunch fame for unwittingly inspiring me to start SHARKRIDE. Michael is one of the most influential people in the world of Web 2.0, and I hope to meet him at some point in the near future. Maybe I’ll crash one of his legendary parties!

I really thought a lot about what to name SHARKRIDE. As Internet veterans know, naming is a challenge, given the crowdedness (should be a word, if it’s not) of domain real estate. A shark ride represents an innovative concept, and I imagine riding a shark would be adventurous and fun, which I anticipate this will be.

Thanks for reading, and I welcome (and hope for) your contributions to the discussion via comments to posts or email!
