Talk:Xoom (web hosting)

message: Hi.  I don't think this page is a vanity article.  Xoom was a pretty substantial presence on the web.  It even received coverage from The Motley Fool in 1999 .  --Takeel 15:55, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

:I know that Infospace purchased some of the pieces, when NBCi (which included XOOM) was broken up.  I'm not sure if they ended up with the websites, or if those were sold off to somebody else, or if the drives were just wiped clean and sold at auction, or what.  --Xoom.org 01:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I added back some of the material edited out by User:Takeel, since at least the Italian XOOM was at one time directly connected to the subject of the article.  I don't know about the Mexican XOOM, so I left it out.  I'm not sure how to find a source for this, however, since anything still online is probably in Italian and I don't read Italian.  I worked for XOOM at one time and worked on the XOOM Italia project, but since I'm not sure how to prove that either, I certainly can't count as a reliable source.  --Xoom.org 01:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I am proposing to update this page based upon the new owners of the xoom.com domain. 
Also I'd like to update the categories for the page since this domain is no longer defunct.
Also, we should keep the existing content on the page with a new headline of "History of Xoom.com Domain"
Thanks!

replies: text: Oppose the current company is probably not notable (according to WP guidelines), whereas the prior one was.  The company currently using the xoom.com domain was already mentioned in the previous version of the article, and does not warrant being the main topic of the article.  The two companies should either get their own articles (similar to the situation with SCO or Viacom) or else it should be reverted to the previous version that focused on the webpage hosting company during the dot-com boom.  --Sapphic 23:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I have moved the content related to the Xoom Corporation to an article at Xoom Corporation (which was almost immediately tagged for speedy delete, although I've attempted to block that) and reverted this article to the previous content related to the 1990s-era web hosting company.  --Sapphic (talk) 02:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Propose to update page based upon new owners of xoom.com domain. 

message: The current revision of the article says "In March 1997, Xoom became a web hosting (offering 100MB) [..] website", implying they offered 100 MB of hosting in March 1997.
However, an April 1997 crawl from Internet Archive doesn't mention web hosting at all. A later crawl from December 1998 shows Xoom was offering 11 MB of space at that time, an order of magnitude less than the article claims. I briefly used Xoom around 1998, and 11 MB of space better matches my recollection — they had more than any other free hosting site I knew of, but it was on the order of 5 or 10.

thread_title:  Timeline and amount of space offered seem inaccurate
