Re: [CGUYS] Web Politicking
The www.whatsmyip.org is a pile of stuff site. For all we know the Obama 08 tab could be just another paid ad on the site but that is unlikely. I haven't given up on a site that has something I really want to use on it just because they have an annoying ad. That site has pretty useful set of tools on it and they managed to keep it on one screen. potential eyeballs and thus loosing future add revenue.

http://whatsmyip.org/ gives you the full page with the Obama ad. http://whatismyip.org/ gives you your IP address in the upper left hand corner of a white page.

No, I can not say as I have noticed commercial sites take a political stance for a candidate. Seems kind of stupid as they risk alienating potential eyeballs and thus loosing future add revenue.

Re: [CGUYS] Web Politicking
If I let Firefox search for the right address by typing in whatsmyip.org and pressing enter, it comes up with the white screen and ip address as described below. If I type in the complete address: http://whatsmyip.org/ , or type in whatsmyip and Alt-Enter, it comes up with the correct home page. It is an unexpected result, to say the least but I don't know why. Perhaps it magnifies how one needs to be even more careful about what they plug into the address bar.
