New Top-Level Domain – Dot Whatever

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has recently approved new top-leve domain name. Currently, the web has .com .net .org or country level TLDs. Soon you can expect to have .whatever domain (whatever means whatever).

To have this kind of domain is not cheap. The application alone is $185,000 and the annual fee is $25,000. I wonder why the application fee and the annual fee is too expensive. I think it is meant to control the number of people that own the domain names.

The application for the new generic will be accepted from January 12, 2012 to April 12, 2010 and the new domain name will be appear on the Internet within a year.

Personally I think this is a great idea because it may cause confusion to most people. People might not be able to differentiate a company domain from a government domain for instance.

Gmail: Priority Inbox

Gmail is great and comes with a lot of useful features like labeling and filter to let your organize your mail box. Although these features are great but they work according to preset or static values. They are not smart enough.

It becomes a problem when you have too much of unread emails. What if a bunch of emails come in at the same time? It could be a pain to find out which email is important to read first.

WordPress: Catch A Spam Comment With Statcounter

Sometime your WordPress' anti spam software (e.g. Akismet) may not able to stop all the comment spam because the comment looks too real to it and to human too. In this case, you will need to identify the comment whether it is actually a real comment or it is automatically submitted by software.

Someone who made a comment must have visited your site. That's it, if he or she has not visited your site but his or her comment is posted on one of your post. Then it is very high possibility that the comment is a spam comment.

How do you ensure someone who left a comment on your blog actually visited your site? The best way to do it is by looking at the IP address where the computer submitted the comment.
