For those of us in the United States, tonight marks a tradition - the tradition of Thanksgiving traffic.? This is especially true on the eastern seaboard, where air and car traffic get particularly bad as families attempt to gather and celebrate the holiday.

So, since NextBillion.net is based in Washington DC, we're taking a few days off.? Who knows, we might just log on and do some blogging from the airport or while stuck in traffic - you never know.See you Monday.

(Full disclosure: I wrote this post last year on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and am simply re-posting it today.? You might call me lazy, but I would characterize it as efficient...)
