Domain Names

There is a very funny article on Salon.com about all the non renewed domain names. Here is my favorite exert:

The fact that these domains were left fallow is even more intriguing than the fact that they were registered to begin with. Did the person who bought ILoveTracyVeryMuch.com realize that he (or she) actually loved Tracy only moderately?

There is also a great article in the MIT Boston Review about the loss of commons. Or in other words the commercialization of public space and ideas. I suggest you read both.
