I think that only links to http://www.bomis.com count as Wiki spam. Just mentioning the name "Bomis" does not boost it's Eigenvalue, which is used by Google for example to figure out the "meaningfullness" of some site according to how many and what quality links there are to the site. Of course being mentioned often attracts more eyeballs and might cause someone to look up the site in question, but so what --Juxo 15:11, 16 Jul 2004 (EEST)

Well no, it is not only URIs which are spam. People get email all the time with no accurate URIs in it, only a 1-800 number or an email address that is temporary.
And certainly the frequent mention of, controversy over, and inherent trusting of Bomis implied by Wikimedia makes them appear to be more of a real big important company. Which they aren't.
