Gulf of Mexico Oil Disaster

By
Industry Observer

I have hundreds of people from 45 countries that registered on my website asking the same question. What happens in the Gulf of Mexico? Information provided locally in different countries is absolutely polar, from sheer panic that Florida property values will go down to just shrugging it off in "not my problem" manner.

I have tried one little experiment just for fun, but then started thinking...interesting. When I tried domain names including "Boycott" and "BP" in different combinations, more than 20 (and I am a good key word reseracher) - all of them were taken. And only one of them was a real website boycottbp.com which turned out to be an old website concerning Lake Michigan where BP dumps a lot of poisonous chemicals.

It looks like BP is not only trying to do PR sessions on TV, but also contain any damage on internet. If those blog or website names were taken by people angry with what's going on in the Gulf, they would have some kind of content by now. It's not a conspiracy theory, but still interesting.
