Doughmainz - Domain blog

David Airey, a popular logo designer, was the unfortunate victim of an unusual domain name theft. While on vacation in India his GMail account was compromised through the use of a malicious injection of a filter which forwarded important messages to the hacker’s email and then deleted the messages permanently from David’s inbox. Thankfully, Google has corrected this exploit, albeit way too late. David’s flagship website and domain name DavidAirey.com is now in the hands of some evil prick who has attempted to sell the domain back for several hundred dollars. David refuses to put money in the hands of this thief and is now using the domain DavidAirey.co.uk.

Google has an exciting new project which they call a “Knowledge Portal,” hence the codename Knol. It has been rumored that Google is upset about Wikipedia dominating it’s search results and is releasing this open-author information sharing website to compete for some top results. Knol is currently in private beta testing, you can read more information on it here. It is also naturally getting alot of buzz from the blogosphere.

Thank you to the 80+ readers who subscribed to DotSauce and entered the Christmas Tech Toys Giveaway! It took me quite a long time to compose everyone into groups, but the Random.org results are in!

By chance and a stroke of inspiration, I have discovered an advanced Google search query which allows me to find lists of recently expired domains. I was quite excited and spent about an hour using my new found expired search technique. Within that hour I found several hundred available domains that had just recently expired.

Around Thanksgiving I announced a big promotion where Triple got into the giving holiday spirit with free domain names promotion. Well they are back at it again for Christmas time and now it’s even easier and much more fun!
