     This weeks assignment in 91113 was to  review a web application that you were familiar with or to discover a new one and share it with the class. We were supposed to have a dialog about the applications with our classmates and then write about them in our blog post.  Well I chose Go Daddy.com as my web application for this weeks assignment after watching some of the Daytona 500 last weekend.  Unfortunately not one classmate engaged in any dialog with me about my web app so I'm flying solo on this one.
     I am not a huge fan of NASCAR or car racing in general but the storyline was compelling with regards to Danica Patrick and the GO Daddy.com race team. Go Daddy.com is the sponsor of Danica Patrick who drives the number 10 car in the Sprint Cup Series for NASCAR. She made headlines last week for being the first female driver to ever win the pole position for the Daytona 500.
      According to Wikipedia, Go Daddy.com or Go Daddy Group Inc is a privately held company that is primarily an Internet domain registrar and web hosting company. It was founded in 1997 as Jomax Technologies by Bob Parsons who later changed the name to Go Daddy.com after a brainstorming session with some employees. In April of 2005, Go Daddy became the largest ICANN-accredited registrar on the Internet. The company is well known for their racy, sexy commercials which generally leave the viewer hanging, so much so that they visit the web sight to see what happens next online. 
     If you would like to start your own web page or get your own .com URL Go Daddy will hook you up for a small fee.   Check out their web sight at http://www.godaddy.com
