- johnnybgoode 17y agoI thought it was meant to be a variation on "cloud".
- viksit 17y agoYeah, I figured that might be one interpretation, hence the qualifier :)
- ScottWhigham 17y agoAm I the only one who completely discounts a .in domain as being spam from India? I certainly would not have ever clicked this link outside of an "Ask HN" style post b/c I would have expected it to be as such.
- viksit 17y agoHmm, not necessarily. Something like .us was made popular by delicious, but there's still outside.in and other well named sites that use the postfix "in" as a verb.. something like justin.tv not being spam from Tuvalu :)
- ScottWhigham 17y agoI think you perhaps I wasn't clear: I'm not in any way suggesting that, because it is from India, it is automatically spam. I am suggesting that, in my experience, the overwhelming majority of .in websites that I've been to, been sent to, or seen are either (a) nefarious places, (b) content theives (i.e. screen scrapers), or crappy blog sites who do nothing but re-post the same "funny pic!" over and over. I mean seriously - if you saw a link today for, "imbored.ru", would you (a) chuckle at how clever the name is and then click the link, or (b) immediately think, "It's either content theft or a nefarious site"? It's just what it is. I could make the argument that it's not that .us was made popular by delicio.us; it's that other companies haven't made the .us domains "seedy" (yet?).
- viksit 17y agoI see what you mean.. In fact, I wasn't actually aware that the proliferation of .in sites was so large that they might be termed spammy/seedy.. I for one have never actually seen the seedier ones!
