An Internet company depicted in "[[Sappy Anniversary]]." [[Jake Morgendorffer]] goes to work for "Buzzdome Dot Com" for a brief period but is fired when he blows an important presentation—then is rehired as a consultant, taking back his old job. Buzzdome presented a variety of interesting characters that have been little used in ''Daria'' fanfic: the 24-year-old ultra-rich president, [[Noah Barkman]]; redheaded [[Nora]] the information architext; [[Xiangdong]] (Zhengdong?) the interactive strategist; [[Sameer]] (Zameer?), the "brain trust"; and the maladjusted consumer-service rep, [[Jacklene]]. (Note: The correct spelling of some of these characters' names is in dispute.)
Buzzdome.com doesn't often appear in ''Daria'' fanfic. One example is [[The Angst Guy]]'s "[[A Knight to Remember]]," which postulates that the company was swept away in the so-called dot-com crash in 2000, and offers possible reasons for that. Noah Barkman is the organizer of the "Cannonball Run" race featured in [[DJW|DJW's]] story, [[The Dammitall Run]].
