Yes, mafias are not new. The interesting thing is when someone publicly take a public position against (not many people do).

It seems to me that someone is whistleblowing on mafia-like behavior... and you comment on the tone.

I think it is more serious than you make it sound. This article describes a racket that resembles mafia behavior. “Pay seven figures a year to buy a corporate subscription to my newsletter and I’ll say nice things about your company, and wh

Yes I think that is a minimum. Still the other concern is the kind of racket that is described: you pay or we won't mention you, or worse we will destroy your reputation (hitman). "Or, don’t buy a subscription and I will bash you relentless

I understand your point and I am a big supporter of the free market, but I think consumers need a minimum protection against infomercials.

If what Dan Lyons wrote here is correct then this article is the most useful and interesting I have ready in years about Silicon Valley. It is describing / implying a widespread problem of "payola" (pay for play) in the tech media.

I think the core of the problem is not TechCrunch or person X or Y. The core problem is advertising disguised as journalism. The solution is legislation against this. Famous direct marketer Dan Kennedy said that the most efficient marketing

I don't agree that this debate necessarily will stay. Legislation can change that. Infomercials on tv have been reigned in because consumers associations came to defend consumers. Ads desguised as journalism (which is what this is all about

This is a "whistleblower" article. I think it is very important. And I hope there are or will be laws to prevent what the article describes.

It's not a zero sum game: money is invested. Money goes from A to B. Media coverage helps convince investors, and customers, or users. One of the most efficient media is advertising disguised as journalism. Hence the legislation on "infomer

what kind of money/finance info do you find in this tool that you don't in yahoo or google finance?

Thank you. Though I have a PC at work :/ I had a quick look at the site, but it did not look like a checlist software, more like a tool to take notes.

what is the point of the .bit ? why would somebody want to use it ?
142.
by tucson 15y ago
The name of the website (dot bit) suggests the domain names will be using the Top Level Domain '.bit'. Is it the case? Can someone give an example of a domain that would be provided by this registrar? Domain.bit would be the typical example

Mostly agree with your input. Though "Absolutely no domainer takes estibot seriously" is a bit of an exaggeration, I think. Estibot is regularly mentioned on TheDomains.com (widely seen as the authority on domain name market news). Mentione

Email the whois contact. Use an email address that does not show you have a huge wallet (if you do). Propose a price. Not too low. Not too high. Get a good estimate from estibot.com (or valuate.com, same engine). The estimates are sometimes
