Seeking to offer Palo Alto voters some reassurance about how funds from the city’s proposed business tax would be spent, the City Council this week passed a resolution pledging to devote the funds to three categories: transportation, housing and public safety.

The resolution, which the council passed by a 6-1 vote, with Greg Tanaka dissenting, aims to address one of the leading criticisms that had emerged from the business community in the lead up to the council’s decision earlier this month to place the tax measure on the November ballot.

Over the last few years, exact match keywords have become important, valuable digital assets, and signify a transformational shift in the way premium domain names are valued.

In the BG (Before Google) era, most people navigated the web by typing a keyword or domain name into their browser. Having a world-class domain name and brand was almost like owning a “TV network,” but one that is global and without walls.
