[ NNSquad ] Go Daddy trying to cash in on dot-co [sic] domains by default
Go Daddy trying to cash in on dot-co [sic] domains by default http://bit.ly/bTnsis (TNW) And in fact, overstock.co is forwarding to www.overstock.com at this time. It appears that most of the "good" dot-co names have already been snatched up by name resellers of course, and I've been getting notes from confused people assuming that when they see ".co" on a domain name it's actually a typo meant to be ".com" ... Yeah, real progress there. Jeez. And the TLD mass confusion has only just begun. Send in the clowns. Oops, they've already arrived! --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com) http://www.vortex.com/lauren Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 Co-Founder, PFIR (People For Internet Responsibility): http://www.pfir.org Founder, NNSquad (Network Neutrality Squad): http://www.nnsquad.org Founder, GCTIP (Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance): http://www.gctip.org Founder, PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member, ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Google Buzz: http://bit.ly/lauren-buzz
