One of these copycats was the infamous JohnCow.com, an obvious parody of John Chow with a catchy tag line of “milking the Internet and making mooney online”. The difference between John Cow and the other copycats was that Cow ironically used his own unique style and employed some creative marketing techniques to gain notice from John Chow himself.
