Encyclopædia Britannica's missed opportunity
Encyclopædia Britannica must be kicking themselves now, they've all but completely lost their market share to Wikipedia -- if only they had updated their business mode back in the 90s, they could have controlled online encyclopædias, and profited from adverts on every page!
Instead Britannia pages like Brythonic languages, suffer popups which obscure the text every 10 seconds -- that's not going to win them any friends or users!

Oops! The broken Britannica site now doesn't work, it has a big popup error from Adobe Inc, as they've embedded a Flash file into the page. They aren't going to win back any business making mistakes like that!
Looks like Britannica saw my post in Dec and have taken up my idea now ;)
