This latest junk email I received was from a domain registrar in China. The claim was that some guy (”Justin Lin”) was trying to buy a bunch of Chinese “R3R” domains (like r3r.cn, r3r.com.cn, r3r.net.cn, etc.). The message from this registrar representative (Tina) was supposedly a courtesy outreach - just to ask if I had any [...] (more)
Believe it or not, there is a whole internet industry out there that depends on people making typos, or just plain not knowing how to spell. Those who capitalize on this kind of human error are called “typosquatters” (?), and if you’re not careful your competitors will typosquat on you. In case you’re not familiar with [...] (more)

But more often than not these ideas just sit on the [...] (more)
