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 CEO, 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 some of the possible reasons for that.
Buzzdome.com Comments
- "The Daria Temporal Analysis Project" by Richard Lobinske, which places "Sappy Anniversary" before the dot-com crash.
- January 2006 interview with Anne D. Bernstein on DVDaria that discusses Buzzdome from the episode writer's viewpoint.
