Cuban Irony

Mark Cuban has been served with insider trading charges.  By the looks of it, I don’t think think the SEC has a strong case and who knows if he is innocent or not, but I find it ironic that he is the majority owner of sharesleuth.com. A company whose about us page states “Sharesleuth.com is an independent Web-based reporting aimed at exposing securities fraud and corporate chicanery.” Quite funny. I am impressed at the hardline stance Techcrunch gave Cuban as I know they have worked together in the past.

Techcrunch wrote a post about infoaxe today. They have a plugin that tracks all of the sites you have been to and then allows you to search those pages like a normal search engine at a later date. I think this is a great idea because I constantly am digging through my history searching for a page I went to before. Sometimes I am able to find it, but many times I am not. In addition, the reason why it has so much more value than a normal bookmarking service is that you deep search it more. I don’t have time to bookmark every single site I go to, but I might remember some text that I want to search for later. I am looking forward to infoaxe’s success so that they will later build a Google Chrome plugin…
