Even now, I’m surprised by the stuff I find when I search Google.
I was searching on the keywords of our league name, “Illowa APBA League”. Apparently, there’s a Internet startup company called List Company that simply lists corporations and companies throughout the world and categorizes them and gives a quick synopsis of them. They do this by crawling the web with “spiders” or programs that mine data from websites.
They obviously don’t do any follow-up research because the Illowa APBA League showed up in their database as a “Sports Teams company”. They gleaned text from our “About” page to put in their summary of us.
Here is their entry for the Illowa APBA League.
I joked with our league managers that we need to discuss whether we need to go public. Any takers who want buy our stock? :-)
