February 28, 2006
Most webmasters would have notices the ubiquity if web directories on the internet this days, from the excellent well organised web directory with some innovative features to the crude web directories that is more a link Spam than a directory offering useful resource to internet users. Going back memory lane, I can quite remember which company pioneered web directories, was it Alta Vista or Yahoo? If you know the history of web directories let me know.

February 27, 2006
One of the most interesting services offered by domain name registry is the so called whois privacy. If you have whois privacy on your domainsit means you will be spared from you private details you are required to give when registering a domain name will be withheld from whois outputdisplayed on your domain name. I have never understood the need for this information to be displayed in the first place since the onlypeople who are usually interested in this are spammers who harvest people’s details and bombarded then with unsolicited mail.
Anyway, Tucows are offering this service through their reseller on .info domain name for free from 1 March 2006 until 31 December 2006. If you registered
your domain name through a Tucows reseller you may be able to get a free whois privacy services for one year free.
