      Ray has started and ran a number of tech businesses starting
      with Semaphore which he started as a student at MIT in 1984
      and SnapNames which he co-founded in 2000.  Following the
      success of SnapNames, Ray became interested in wiki technology,
      and has started a number of wikis.  The most notable of
      these is aboutus.org which is a wiki about web sites.
      Aboutus.org is quite popular.  Some internet rating services
      put it into the 2000 most hit sites on the Internet.
