Hi Mark, Yes got the SEO world all stirred up (where I spend 90% of my time) -
Apparently they may have become registrars to gain access to information otherwise hidden to us mere mortals. Supposedly, a registrar has access to the detailed contact, billing and administrative information that are assigned to all domain names that are registered, no matter if you are the registrar for that domain name or not. Some believe that they will use this information to track down link spammers and fight spam at a higher level. Anyone at Tucows care to comment ;) Best Nick Managing Director e3internet http://www.e3internet.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Hutchings Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 4:19 PM To: discuss-list@opensrs.org Subject: Google has become a registrar Google has become a registrar http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/02/01/google_domain_seller/ -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
