The web counter service concept originated as a hobby in high school that turned into a part-time business. From the dot-com boom to the dot-com burst, from virtual servers to dedicated machines, from Netscape to Internet Explorer, from Webcrawler to Google, from Notepad to Dreamweaver; I have seen the transformation of the largest information network in the world. From a business and technology standpoint, there could not have been a better opportunity for someone interested in the word 'computers'. The technologies embedded into Jinko's technology are still widely used today - at the time of inception they were emerging technologies - but the fact is an entity such as Jinko cannot compete competitively with the likes of Google and Microsoft. Jinko's solutions served its time, place, and purpose in Internet history, unofficially the first company serving customers web counters with background images included with the numeric digits. Where else could you find a Simpsons or Friends web counter?

I would personally like to thank everyone for using this service. A special thanks to family and friends for the support and for the endless supply of comments during the early days. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with tremendous individuals scattered across the world. Your remarkable interest transformed a hobby for a high school kid into a valued small business that served as a learning tool and gateway to new opportunities.

Sincerely,
Kurt Roots
