More RegFly Woes …

Filed under: Domains, ISP Management — Othello @ 3:01 am

So things look like they are going from worse to downright abysmal for the many beleagured registerfly clients.

What should have been a realtively painless excercise in admin contacts migrating domains away to a new supplier, with ICANN assistance if the RF systems failed, looks like an ever growing c*ck-up, with class action suits, domains getting deleted, and complete pandemonium.

Many of the RF-Refugee camp are switching to equally poor “cheapo” domain companies, litterally jumping from lifeboat to the next titanic in my opinion, selecting Yahoo, 1&1 and others for their new domain home !

An ever growing FAQ has appeared on the ICANN blog, and all those looking to exit RegFly are advised to read :

Remember OthelloNames.net are offering FREE transfers until the end of May for anyone stuck in this fiasco - use Voucher Code RegisterFly at the checkout to get 8.95+vat off our usual costs.

New Web2.0 social site draws a crowd

Filed under: Internet, E-Commerce, General Procrastination — Othello @ 2:45 pm

Newcomer to the web2.0 scene, and quite obviously looking to cash-in on the social discussion (group-blogging) concepts is
myLot.

With a slightly different take on the “value of a user”, and knowing they need to play a very serious game of catchup, myLot are prepared to pay you a SMALL amount of their revenue (derived from PPC SE results etc) for your posts and discussions.

Obviously the plan is to bribe millions of users with pennies each to sign up and then flog the whole thing to Goooogle for millions, but at least if you’re going to waste/invest time in one of these modern equivalents of a bulletin-board, you might as well get paid to do it !
