Just seen this on a site called Easy Webber - a Top Ten guide to the worst domain names out there.
It’s basically smutty innuendo but also oddly amusing in one or two cases. For example, the number one slot goes to the website that aims to provide agent details for various famous people. […]

I’m a bit late to this one, with Charles Arthur, Andrew Grant-Adamson, Martin Stabe; and Roy Greenslade all drawing collective gasps and stiffling laughter, but just in case there is anyone interested in the UK media that reads this blog but none of those above…
My god The Independent doesn’t get the Internet.
It has started […]

In a redesign last month, the site I news edit for Techworld.com started including a nice big pic on its front page for the lead news story.
I change the lead on average once or twice a day just so it doesn’t get stale and so visitors that may look at it in the morning […]

I’m just watching the webcast of the ICANN open forum due to start in a second at Sao Paulo and the techies are playing Patti La Belle.
It’s no mistake, and Patti has a few things she wants to share with conference attendees from ICANN’s perspective. “Together we will live in paradise,” she […]

I love it when large corporates have their insane bullying tactics defeated and exposed. I remember for example having a pitched battle with Warner Brothers when they started threatening to sue children for having Harry Potter websites.

Obviously on one level this is complete idiocy. But I also […]

I mentioned about a month ago how I was considering setting up a second blog so I could more easily separate my personal and professional life. And yesterday, twice, I was reminded that there is a bit of an unusual overlap when I spoke to two people: one, the spokesman for a company I […]

I’ve been sent this. Just one of those magic moments. Thank god someone was quick with a camera. The picture is self-explanatory. The TV newsman is Marc Brown of ABC in case you’re interested.

I manage to squeeze in a quick trip to California to finish up my Sex.com book and everything goes crazy.
I arrived in San Francisco an hour ago to no less than four voicemails and 50 non-spam emails - in the spate of 10 hours. I knew ICANN was going to announce its MoU late […]

My last five posts have all been about ICANN and frankly that’s not enough for any man. So I thought I’d interject with some humourous light relief. Well, sort of.

First up is what can only be described as one of life’s individuals, a man called Christian Kim, who is American-Korean, lives in Cambridge and […]
