Hello -www'ers,

On http://www.postgresql.org/about/users, please create a new category
called 'Internet', and put these in it:

Vidoop
Rambler Internet-Holding (rambler.ru)

Also, remove Rambler from 'Telecom'.

I've CC'd Michael Richardson, who confirmed that Vidoop would like to be added.

thank you!

ISTM internet is a little bit generic... ie. what makes these companies 
internet and not people like Penny Arcade or Flightstats?  I'm inclined to 
add them to "technology" or possibly "e-commerce".  Or, if we're going to 
make a new category, it would be "security", but I'd want to find another 
company to list with them.  Thoughts?

It looks to me like Rambler, anyway, is properly speaking a media
company; it just happens to publish on the Net.

I don't see a strong reason to require more than one company in a
category before adding it.  Vidoop's description on their home page
puts them pretty squarely in the application security business.

Hmm.  I would like us to highlight web-focused companies a bit more,
so that when a web developer looks at that page they think, "People
like me are using PostgreSQL".

What about "Web Service" as a category? Flightstats would then fall
into that category.

I just threw Internet out there after having a very brief chat with
Josh Berkus.

Hmm... this puts a lot of pressure on me not to agree with you...

Wow, that was easy ;)

So -- I revise my request:

Please create a category called "Web Service" and put:

Vidoop
Flightstats

in there.

thanks!

I think Rambler should go in as well.  That's a better category than 
"telecom".
