What's next- StingandBing.com? BingPatrickEwing.com? (puts on sunglasses…) DavidCarusoandYahoo.com (takes off sunglasses…)?

According to his LinkedIn profile, Shmuel is an Ecommerce Expert and Product Evangelist, among other things, which could be seen as strange, considering he has a rabbinical degree in Jewish studies.
