Greetings from Sussex, Wisconsin, USA

[keith]

Greetings and salutations!

I'm Keith, an old guy with an 18-person web design, production, programming, hosting and Internet marketing shop in Sussex, Wisconsin, USA.

I determined my first time on the Internet that I was going to be a junky, and the only way to survive being a junky is to be a dealer. You might say that I got into the business to support my habit.

Another immediate thought about the Internet was that the one thing that was missing was a sense of geography. When our web shop started we started theBubbler.com - both to show off our capabilities and to be local and state boosters.

We'll be adding more Wisconsin Forums soon - transferring this information to www.WisForums.com (alias www.WisconsinForums.com), and starting another board for www.WisMusic.com. Any thoughts about a statewide music board would be appreciated. We're doing a whole slew of Wisconsin sites, part of our www.WisNetwork.com network of Wisconsin web presences.

I've got a few other pet projects and forums. The latest is www.WebLoggers.Org, a vB forum for, by and about bloggers and blogging. Over 100 members and 4,000 posts in about 15 weeks now. The sister blog is at www.WebLogging.Org.

Another one is www.Scouts.com - bought that domain name when I was a Scoutmaster ten years ago. Hope to develop it more, or sell it to someone who will.

Other than Internet/Computing I enjoy reading, writing, speaking, camping, canoeing, fishing and family. Not necessarily in that order. I also take a night off a week for Texas Hold'em, love to eat and believe in good beer.

Domaining is also a strong interest. My favorite forum (outside of our own) is www.NamePros.com - they have their own currency! Way cool community there. If you join, please tell them WebForging sent you! Over 26,000 members and very active (and free)!

I really enjoy the sense of community that theBubbler offers. Some of my best conversations in the last few years have been via PMs (private messages) on theBubbler. Hope you'll say hello here ~ and hope you'll tell all your friends about this online community.

Regards,
Keith

Keith, I enjoy everything you and your business associates have done to enable the bubbler to exist. So much information so little hard drive! Sorry for my pun. I'm assuming you treat your employees like you do the bubbler clan. So in that thought I'd like to say how much I honor your friendship and guidance. Take Care and remember I'm only a click or call away!

Keith: Wisconsin WebForging Extraordinaire

I found theBubbler by accident, looking for a real Wisconsin website that did not cater to their pocketbook. I was a little hesitant on all what was offered here. It seemed to good to be true.
I began to post in the forums and had sent some idea or thought to Keith and after that PM we became Bubbler friends.
I later had received a PM about a camping trip at the Dells. I was told I could bring my wife. I set up camp before anyone else and waited for awhile and no seemed showing up. After, about a hour a group began to fill the spot for theBubbler. I told my wife I was going over to check it out.
At that point I met Keith and Kristen. We sat at our camps talking until the other groups started to arrive. At that moment..I felt a sense of family.
Since then I have been enjoying at theBubbler. I have learned many lessons of marketing and web finesse from Keith.
Keith also is a Outdoorsman and I would camp on a drop of a dime if he asked.
Keith -thanks for making this site possible!
Your friend always,
Earl

I'm impressed with the sites associated with the Bubbler. Keith, you certainly display a talrnt/gift for the utilization of the internet.
I'm nott sure how I found the Bubbler, I guess I was "thirsty" for a mre local part of the intenet. Thnks for providibg that.
I'll be hanging around the "Bubbler" to pick up on the news and gossip of our community. Everytime I log in, I check the membership statistics, and see that our community is growing, everyday.
