Reports suggest the new .xxx domain has failed to arouse any interest! During a recent website scan by Metacert, it appears that 82% of adult sites are choosing to remain on the .com domain.
Many argue that the new top level domains are in fact beneficial, as they will allow consumers to be more aware of the site they are on whilst ensuring safety and stability of the domain name system. However certain pornography industry representatives disagree.

.TRAVEL DOMAINS – an inauspicious beginning
Due to widely held beliefs and speculative rumours, many web developers and domain registrars hold . travel domains in disregard. Without going into details, I will attempt to illuminate as to why the .travel domain release was such a flop.
BATMAN AND DOMAINS
Batman fans worldwide are jumping with excitement about the rumour that there may be a new Batman film or video game!
Where did this rumour originate? Interestingly, by registration of some domains!
Technology news website Fusible has noticed that overnight 15 Batman related domains have just appeared. Although the owner remains confidential due to the privacy laws, using a whois website, the domain registrar can be traced to the domain registration company Markmonitior. And as Warner brothers inc are a recognised client of Markmonitor, there’s a strong chance the domains were registered by Warner Brothers inc.

ONLINE TRAVEL INDUSTRY & ITS PITFALLS
Gone are the days when the sole source of travel information and services came from the high-street travel agent. The online travel industry has blossomed in the past decade, now supplying absolutely everything needed for a trip, except maybe for the actual experience itself. Nowadays if you happen to contract the travel itch, the first place you go for answers will invariably be the Internet.
Apart from adult websites (naughty.xxx) and spam sites, Travel has become the biggest online industry. In fact, completely contrary to popular predictions 10-20 years ago, worldwide interconnectivity has boosted travel rather than making it obsolete. This has meant that the way we think about travel has changed, or rather how we approach it.
