9799

Numerical short-cut used in text messaging that represents the years "1997-1999: a time-period in which dotcom companies without even a decent URL could tap the NASDAQ honey-pot, if not the corporate buy-out one.

Not just Flooz.com. Later companies such as Skype -- founded in 2003 and acquired by Ebay like it was some kind of expensive, corporate vernerial disease in 2005 -- are also in fact 9799.
