Dave Winer’s post caught my attention and my curiosity was incited:
Tech press misses Google/Amazon name grab
Then I read this post he linked to:
Big Brands Trying To Corner Generic Namespaces?
That got me wondering:
Who is going for book-related domains? Specifically, the dotBOOK one.
What follows is not the kind of thorough investigation a full staff of trained pros would turn out (like, for instance, the
lax CNN-Money team who apparently just take everything at face value). But it’s damned more than anyone else has so far bothered to do. Which is really shocking — because why are they being
paid if they can ignore something as big as this?
