The case for Web sites ending in ‘.sucks’ - Sen. Jay Rockefeller (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File) Should people be banned from registering domain names that end in ".sucks"? It's easy to see how this could get out of hand. A politician might take out his opponent's name and put .sucks at the end. Cyberbullies might use the suffix to torment teens and young children. In the wrong hands, a .sucks domain could do real damage. But maybe clamping down isn't the best move. Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W. Va.) is the latest to claim that .sucks, ... read more ...

Senator Thinks Proposed Domain Name .sucks - Making a website to mock something you don't like and calling it "Somethingsucks.com" isn't new, but the opening of new domain names by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers means you could soon make your website "Something.sucks" instead.

gTLD : aux Etats-Unis, un sénateur veut bloquer le .sucks - Un sénateur américain ne veut pas que des adresses de sites Web puissent se terminer en « .sucks ». Aux Etats-Unis, il a donc demandé à l'Icann de bloquer l'utilisation de ces extensions de noms de domaines. Plusieurs nouveaux noms de domaines sont régulièrement crées et mis sur le marché par l'Icann. Par exemple, ce mercredi l'organisme a autorisé l'utilisation de l'extension « monde » en caractères chinois. D'autres domaines ne font pas forcément l'unanimité. Aux Etats-Unis, le ... read more ...

Sen. Rockefeller, Adweek & Politico Pick Up On The .Sucks Story We Told You … - I’m not wholly opposed to the new extensions and do see some positive opportunities being introduced — alongside extra costs and problems. But this must be the understatement of the year: “If ICANN allows this extension to exist they are going to severely damage their credibility as well as the credibility of the new gTLD program.” Yes. But at this point, how much credibility is left to bruise? .SUCKS is only the most flagrant example of motives that ... read more ...
