From IsabelWang.com:
In August 2007, I realized I'm marching in place too. I've written a zillion blog posts about the need for commodity hosters to broaden their horizons; shouldn't I as well? So I'm taking some time off to find the next big thing. If you've got ideas, you can reach me at...,
Isabel, if indeed this is your final decision, thank you for everything you've given the hosting industry over the years. You will be greatly missed!
It just so happens I do have a great idea about your next big thing! Invent something, anything, and call it a "widget." Think about it - you'll never have to actually market it yourself. You have an established, worldwide marketing presence by virtue of every book or article in academia, trade publications, news, magazines, etc. that refer to widgets as commodities of value. You'll make billions, and naturally you'll be compelled to share some of that newfound wealth with the person who gave you that awesome idea, right? :)
In all seriousness, absolute best wishes to you in your future endeavors, whether they bring you back to Web hosting or take you on completely new journeys in life.
