  1. @bohoe @EvertB Actually they do. They also use it more than net/org/biz/info/etc. Some very interesting usage patterns in .ie ccTLD.
  2. @mneylon Press release recycling without any analysis?
  3. @marklittlenews Q for Jimbo: Was Searchwikia an idea before its time?
  4. @adrianweckler The web breaks those walled gardens - then what happens to the columnists online?
  5. @adrianweckler A newspaper is a walled garden in print. But on the web, everyone has an opinion.
  6. @adrianweckler Newspapers effectively aggregate columnists.Without that aggregation columnists would not (generally) have large readership.
  7. @adrianweckler The news is from Murdoch's competitors (online/broadcast). With PayTV Murdoch had morons (BSB) for competiton in the UK.
  8. @adrianweckler The best example of how vulnerable newspapers are online is the repeat audience of their columnists' standalone blogs.
  9. @adrianweckler Murdoch has a gatekeeper role on UK PayTV with Sky. He is trying the same thing with the web. But the competition is bigger.
  10. @adrianweckler Online? Murdoch's competitors. They would get more traffic that could be monetised.
  11. @adrianweckler The Irish Times bungled PPV and its tech journos became non-entities overnight. It gave ENN/Siliconrep their opportunity.
  12. @adrianweckler Yep. But the only differentiator that newspapers have is their columnists. The news is available elsewhere.
  13. @adrianweckler Perhaps some technology journos don't understand how Murdoch does business. Newspapers have a non-sticky audience online.
  14. @findub Old IEDR running the reg was the doomsday scenario. Much of the legislation was to prevent that mess from happening again.
  15. @mneylon @mathieuweill Well the Irish gov had to act and formalise the position of the registry and legislate for a doomsday scenario. :)
  16. @mathieuweill @mneylon Legislating for govt overview of registries is rather serious. I wonder if it will be based on the Irish model?
  17. @eoink Interesting stuff especially the cluster of tech journos.
  18. @davork Dotster has tens of thousands of .eu doms cyberwarehoused via Irish front company. Ultsearch has thousands. No action from Eurid.
  19. @davork around 80% of Irish and UK businesses did not get their .eu during sunrise. It was a complete mess.
  20. @mneylon Eurid treats .eu like it was just a Belgian ccTLD without relevance to the EU. It can't market .eu domains at all.
