According to Registrar rules, under 18's are prohibited from even owning a domain name, let along trading in them. In reality, some are negotiating deals worth thousands of dollars.As the domaining industry attempts to legitimize itself, how will they deal with a group that exists outside the law?<br/><br/>10 Vote(s) ]]></description>

However this issue has wider implications which should be considered by all domain owners, businesses and privacy advocates. For a fee, they can provide all historic registration records on all your domains, grouping them by company or users name. This search can uncover and connect domains which were later hidden with WHOIS protection, providing a goldmine of information for those investigating.  On the back of concerns about Google becoming a Registrar in 2005, could this also be proof of concept for their own internal tools?<br/><br/>13 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Matt's blog is essential reading for our industry but I have to admit some of the comments bug me. Especially when I see people bashing SEO, answering technical SEO questions they really aren't qualified to and the repetitive references to Google's webmaster guidelines. But no more. With new Cuttlet Block (TM) you can ban or block users on Matt's blog and never have to read them again. Think of this as a Web 2.0. killfile ;)The other feature we have thrown in there is the ability to  show Matt's replies only with one extra link at the start of the comments section.  People can use it as they like, happy to share.<br/><br/>8 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Frank Schilling links to two more articles adding fuel to the &quot;Google-Daddy Merger&quot; fire. Google became an ICANN Registrar in 2005 but record access is limited to domains they have directly registered. Ownership of GoDaddy would give Google access to 14 million+ domain records. That should sound alarm bells for GoDaddy clients trying to stay under the radar, especially in light of Aaron Wall's recent troubles.<br/><br/>6 Vote(s) ]]></description>
