Websites thrive on iPhone 5 gossip

It has been almost a year since the wait began and it has been spawning all kinds of sites with names that have iphone5 in it.

Well, I wake up in the morning, I'm still dreaming 'bout you Tell you, pretty baby, I'm blue Wake up in the evening, I'm still screaming out Over you, over you Well, tell me why, why, why do you treat me so bad, so bad When you're the best friend a man ever had?

This Paul McCartney song, My Best Friend, best describes the prolonged wait for the much anticipated launch of Apple’s new iphone 5. It has been almost a year since the wait began and it has been spawning all kinds of sites with names that have iphone5 in it.

A casual key search of iPhone 5 throws 2,360,000,000 results of which the first few pages are links to sites speculating on iPhone 5 with artist’s imagination and consumer craziness and geekboyish churlishness thrown in equal meas ure. Some of these sites have generated fair amount of advertising like www.iPhone release.org which is a pure iPhone 5 news and in formation site.

One indicator of the sites true intentions is a link that leads the visitor to reputationmangementsolutions .com which advices on how to manage your companies repurtaion online or enhance it further with their help.
