May 15, 2008 | 2 Comments

I think it was already mentioned (actually pretty damned sure) on some other domaining blogs about the whole .ASIA and Pool CEO scandal currently going on… but I’m going to mention it again just [...]

Iranians Not Allowed To Register .ASIA!
May 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment
There was a thread recently posted on Namepros that suggested that the .asia registry has banned all Iranians from registering .ASIA domains! Extremely scandalous if true! I own ZERO .asia domains and am not from Iran so there’s no way I can verify (I assume that if you used “Iran” as the country in your [...]

Google Introduces WHO-IS Records Into Its Search Index
April 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Not exactly who-is records, but now when you take a domain and add the word “who-is” in front of a domain (IE: whois google.com) you get a link to domaintools.com which leads you to a page with the who-is information of a domain name.
Not bad for domain resellers, IMO. This will give their information a [...]

Google users in the United States will notice today that we “turned the lights out” on the Google.com homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour. As to why we don’t do this permanently - it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power [...]
