    Horsham, PA is the address of her ISP who own the IP (or rather, block of IPs) you performed a whois on. It does not necessarily follow that “she” is located there.

    That’s true, although I’d assumed that the server she was using would be at least somewhere near her. I don’t know. America is a big place. Would someone in Buffalo have a Horsham server? Wouldn’t that give Alicia some badass lag?

    It all depends on the size of the ISP, really. It could be that their headquarters are in Horsham and so that’s the address they decided to put in the whois database. They have a list of dial-up numbers on their site which seems to cover every state in America which indicates that they’re nation-wide.

    As for the lag, it depends on how their network is set up. Essentially though, no.

    If she does work for Shark she doesn’t know the product history very well. Osotspa, the parent company of Shark, claim they started selling it in 1998 (go to heritage then 1998). Before that they sold non-carbonated energy drinks.

    Might just be a coincidence but there’s an Alicia Fortunato on Facebook listed in Buffalo, NY. Seems a bit young to be masterminding a covert marketing campaign though.
