Here's a real story:

Some time ago, a journalist at the EU parliament asked us for resources
about OLPC, so I handed OLPC business card.  The man looks for the URL,
and then says: "yeah... I've found the laptop.org web site, but... don't
you have another place where you keep all the information, such as a wiki?"
