notetoself.x

So last night I got an email about domain names and it set me thinking. There are plenty of TLD’s out there and plenty I never think about.
.ca for one. I am fairly used to .com.au because I go there and use sites ther all the time. Canada and .ca though I have to admit other than aol.ca I never really think about Canada having seperate domains from the US.

There is a notetoself.ca in fact there are plenty of other notetoself’s out there. Weird really when you think about it.
In fact I had the same thoughts when I used the old domain 8letters. there is an 8letters.com too and yet it seems to be blank – maybe just an email domain I guess.

note to self: check mail more often

okay so I came back into work and had 300 odd emails from my two days off last week.
Amongst them are some really cool links and commentry on the web. One of them is EPIC. It could happen – in fact in some ways it already is happening. There are blog aggregators already and with the advent of home made adverts being picked up in the news after promotion on blogs.
In other news I’ve discovered the joy of A9 search. Particularly useful when obsessing over celebs and looking for news and pics all at the same time ;o)

eBaytastic

So eBay take out a full pae advert in Metro today saying they are having a Christmas Treasure Hunt. The code word for today is ‘REINDEER’ and that you should use your ingenuity to try to win a designer watch every two hours!
So doing a quick search for reindeer (as you do) I came across a man selling ‘reindeer food’ surely a scam. Then of course there is item number 5942611997 which is definitely a scam and only one of many spammers trying to cash in on eBay’s advertising I guess. It’s titled ‘Turn ?3 ($5) into ?10,000 ($18,000) This really Works – Try it for yourself ‘
So until eBay puts a report this auction now button I gess people are still gooing to be worried about fraud. Moreover new people looking at eBay because of their advertising are going to be getting mixed messaging.
