World Wide Web Wide Open

According to CBC News:

Internet regulators voted to loosen restrictions on internet names, a move that could allow thousands of variations of suffixes beyond the basic .com or .ca…

…The new guidelines could allow for domain names that have been requested, and denied by ICANN, for years, such as .xxx for adult websites and .post for postal service websites.

Companies with well-known names like eBay, Apple or Google could also end up requesting domain names if the new rules are approved, snatching up names like .ebay, .mac and .goog.

In theory, this sounds like a great idea.  In theory, communism was a great idea.  We’ll see it in action to determine the results…

Does the Inbox search in Facebook really make it useful?

No.

The Inbox in Facebook needs some serious work. Can you even forward a message? I don’t think so. Although, I don’t think that it would even be worth it for the folks at Facebook to fix up the Inbox – I mean, it’s not meant to be an email service, is it?

Just stick with what you do best – allowing dudes to stalk hot chicks.
