It has been suggested by some that the name "The HOB.Biz" stands for "Hobbit", "HOB Goblin" or refers in some other way to litterature. Although amusing and worth considering, in fact the name arose from a much more practical consideration. Users of the original "The House Of Business Network" started to abbreviate this to "The HOB". This became a widespread practice. Since then we've acquired an equally practical and short domain name to match and have applied the use of the name to more services. Other amusing suggestions are that a "hob" is the central part of a wheel from which the spokes radiate outwards, a heating device or an abbreviation of "hobnobbing". Feel free to believe what you find most entertaining.
On many of our sites you will find images and other content will darken and display a "Share this" message on mouse-over. When you click the item you can share it. This is called Drag to Share. If an item is linked and you double click it the normal link will open. If you click it once the Share menu will appear.
