Missing in action: Banana.com by the Castello Brothers

Posted by DomainGang on July 20, 2011, at 5:56 pm

What is going on with the top tier domain name Banana.com ? We checked several days and weeks ago, and it seems this ultra (yellow) premium is somehow losing its freshness and curvature! As we speak, Banana.com is down. Which would make it a limp banana. Owned by the Castello Brothers, Banana.com was in the […]

Prosecutors tried to Google-frame Casey Anthony?

Posted by DomainGang on July 20, 2011, at 12:23 pm

Almost a month ago we wrote about how Casey Anthony’s computer was examined for information and was allegedly found to contain numerous Google searches. These Google searches were allegedly about “chloroform” and “chlorophyll” due to Google’s autocomplete feature kicking in. Apparently, the computer forensic expert now states that the prosecution essentially made up these findings, […]

The Medical Domain that won’t pass the family filter

Posted by DomainGang on July 15, 2011, at 3:42 pm

Some family names that are meant to be casual in a language such as – presumably – Serbian, come across as utterly offensive in English. This is the case with Dr. Harold Ballitch II and his web site, DrBallitch.com It’s almost certain that the doctor with the unfortunate name suffered many years of ridicule as […]

A reminder: G+ is not the same as Google+

Posted by DomainGang on July 12, 2011, at 4:03 pm

A lot of people are referring to Google+ as G+ but this is just an unfortunate assumption. As we said before, G+ is an independent service and is in no way related to Google’s new “social circles” experiment. Read more about it in our article.

It’s Goodbye time for this Publication

Posted by DomainGang on July 9, 2011, at 5:00 pm

After a great and lengthy run, all good things must come to an end – as the saying goes. It’s pointless to continue while the world evolves and the industry is controlled by media moguls that push for their biased opinions online, instead of promoting pure journalism. The decision was hard to make but it […]
