- Do any other greybeards get the sense that ICANN just decided that BITNET was the right model for Internet naming? Actually, I support it… #
- Anything that #ICANN does that gets us away from the notion of hierarchy (and thus scarcity and control) is good. Ref: http://bit.ly/hfSkXx #
- @JamesFirth artifical scarcity is the leverage du jour; if you can eventually become http://james.firth/ for a reasonable price, why not? #
- @JamesFirth And if if you are jamesfirth.co.uk, is that really so bad? It's no big deal except to people who think in terms of pigeonholes #
- @JamesFirth …and those chavs who can't afford to buy Burberry, but knockoffs. Or something else. It's still a hat. #
- @JamesFirth Only control-freaks, brand-consultants and lawyers will worry about not having brandname.* domains for all values of "*" #
- @JamesFirth They're only squatters if someone else wants the property… #
- @JamesFirth Actually, they can't be squatters at all because that implies that another entity already has (moral) ownership of the domain. #
- @kashhill fortunately hiring managers with the attitude where that will be an issue will be gone or promoted away by then. #

- @DrJennyWoods steamy? #
- Certain amount of unstated and unexplained hostility to New College of the Humanities here at #westskep #
- HOW MUCH WILL IT COST ME TO BUY THE .BITNET GTLD, PLEASE ICANN ? LOVE, B1FF #
- Hey! I could buy the .aber domain and be aem@uk.ac.aber once more. TAKE THAT, INTERNET! #X25 #FTW #
- @kashhill I am an optimist. Doesn't mean I'm wrong, though. 🙂 #
- @kashhill We live on a cusp between upcoming "digital natives" who will have managed this since childhood, and Gen-Xers most of whom didn't #
- @kashhill Solution for GenX brigade is to take it on the chin for themselves and stop fretting about their kids who will cope way better. #
- @DrJennyWoods I think the word you wanted was "humid" #
