Personally, I was really happy to know that iTauro took a direct dive of PageRank 0 to Pagerank 6, I had recieved few queries regarding this too. I want to tell everyone that this was not any SEO technique but because on the last PR update our pages where down and whole site was experiencing downtime, so the Rank crashed from 4-6. Though, I am happy that Google recognized out true iTauro’s true potential

Wikipedia-Wikia plans Open Source Search Engine, rival Google ?
Recently Reuters reported “Wikipedia Plans to Rival Google”.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales said on Friday he is putting the building blocks in place for a community-developed Web search service that would rival search engines such as Google or Yahoo.
Wales told a conference of software developers in Portland, Oregon, that his commercial start-up, Wikia, has acquired Grub, a pioneering Web crawler that will enable Wikia’s forthcoming search service to scour the Web to index relevant sites.
“If we can get good quality search results, I think it will really change the balance of power from the search companies back to the publishers,” said Wales, chairman of San Mateo, California-based Wikia. “I could be wrong about this, but it seems like a likely outcome.”
But this is not something very new, in December, last year

iPhone Domainers Beware : Apple might get you
Founder and chief editor of MacRumors.com recently wrote this in his blog ..
After Apple’s aggressive defense of the iPod-related domain names, it seemed obvious they weren’t going to let people get too comfortable with the many iPhone domain names.
Vincent Nguyen of MyiPhone.com writes that he was excited to meet Steve Jobs at D: All Things Digital, but that excitement quickly turned to a sickening feeling:
Turns out, Steve isn’t such a great fan of MYiPhone as we are about the phone itself. His comment to me about the site was “I recommend you changing the name, we have a team of lawyers to go after that kind of stuff.” Well, you could’ve knocked me over with a Mac mini. He mentioned that we should change it to anything other than iPhone in the name.
Apple has been aggressively pursuing commercial websites using the “iPod” as part of their domain. The most prominent move was iPodLounge moving to iLounge. While I have no official confirmation that Apple “forced” this particular move, Apple’s interest in the iPod name was certainly a factor.
I personally don’t thing that the name could do any harm to apple as whole website was related to iPhone and indirectly promote iPhone ….. on second thought, why would they need anymore popularity .

ICA Warns Domain Name Industry
The Internet Commerce Association (internetcommerce.org) recently addressed more than 50 domain name owners at the SedoPro conference in New Paltz, New York to discuss potential threats to the value of domain names.
Phil Corwin, a representative of the ICA, says the domain community should try to prevent the disorder the private equity industry faces right now due to the introduction of a bill to tax private equity profits at a higher rate. Corwin says mainstream press has already brought attention to the wealth the domain name industry has been creating, which could get the attention of legislators in Washington and cause a similar situation. However, he says it’s not too late to influence policy making.
In his presentation, Corwin mentioned a few specific threats to domain names including domain name classification as a property versus a license. He says the ICA wants domains to be classified as property and the domain industry should take the lead on getting this position solidified. Another issue is the fact that many registrars are retaining the best expiring domain names, which creates a conflict of interest.

RegisterFly Update March 31 : Not a ICANN accredited registrar
This is an update on the termination of RegistrFly as an ICANN accredited registrar.As was previously advised ICANN sent a notice of termination to RegisterFly effective 31 March 2007. Under the agreement RegisterFly can initiate arbitration challenging the termination. RegisterFly has decided to do that and has notified ICANN. That means the termination has to be stayed by at least an additional thirty days. Consequently there will be no bulk transfer to another Accredited registrar until further notice. This clearly does not help registrants. It is another example of RegisterFly putting its own interests ahead of its customers.

Internet body rejects .XXX adult-only sites [ICANN]
The U.S.-based Internet governing body rejected a proposal on Friday to create an adults-only zone on the internet, or a .XXX domain.
Supporters of an .XXX domain argued it would make it easier to confine sex sites and filter them out. Opponents argued it would make pornography on the Internet easier to find.
The board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which manages the Internet’s domain-name address system, decided to reject the application for .XXX sites at a meeting in Portugal.
“This decision was the result of very careful scrutiny and consideration of all the arguments,” Dr Vinton Cerf, chairman of ICANN, said in a statement on the group’s Web site.
“That consideration had led a majority of the board to believe that the proposal should be rejected.”
The anticipated rejection of the .XXX domain had prompted the European Union to accuse the United States of political interference in the Web’s governance because ICANN currently reports to the U.S. Commerce Department.
“One of our board members said today in our meeting, and I’ll quote him, that this decision wasn’t a behind-the-scenes government move,” Serf told journalists in Lisbon.
