Veteran adviser to the nonprofit sector and technology guru Vince Stehle today announced his new venture, LoremIpsum.com. The site will provide filler content to web developers worldwide for free, and make money off the volume of users expected to flock to its services. Said Stehle about his new venture, “We’ve been watching this sector for a long time, and we noticed that literally thousands of web sites in need of this service.” He added, “Often they use low-grade industrial filler, but LoremIpsum will provide only the best content, vetted by our team of industry experts.”
As part of the launch, Stehle provided a partial sample of content that will be provided to potential clients:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi a tortor vestibulum ipsum ornare luctus. In suscipit, ligula nec adipiscing porttitor, nibh augue congue ante, non elementum elit lorem vitae augue. Vestibulum eu urna eros. Donec luctus, diam sit amet aliquet interdum, urna lacus euismod dolor, at elementum magna arcu a justo. Maecenas nec tellus nec velit ultrices viverra id a nibh. Curabitur blandit scelerisque scelerisque. Etiam tortor purus, imperdiet eget blandit non, varius viverra turpis. Curabitur metus diam, fermentum sed lobortis sit amet, volutpat nec dui. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Praesent eget erat vel nisl fringilla mollis. Aenean ac libero sit amet orci suscipit feugiat. Mauris a erat nunc.
Stehle is backed by a series of heavyweight advisors from the worlds of finance and philanthropy. “We think this could be a huge game-changer,” said Imbarto Alguen, of the Day Foundation, speaking for a group of foundations that reportedly include the Drof Foundation, the Rellefkcor Foundation, and the Eigenrac Foundation.
The news set off shockwaves in the insular sector. Sven Svensen, the proprietor of the Danish filler-generator Dorsk-Forskplatskneidenheimer, commented, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus enim.” Abdullah al Mohammed al Rahman, of the al-Lipsum service, said, “تم تكوين 1 فقرة، 15 كلمة، 105 بايت من نص لوريم إيبسوم.” And Lech Parsek of the Polish Ipsum Industries insisted, “Ogólnie znana teza głosi, iż użytkownika może rozpraszać zrozumiała zawartość strony, kiedy ten chce zobaczyć sam jej wygląd.”
While it remains to be seen whether Stehle’s new venture will survive and thrive, only time will tell. We wish him the best of luck.
