There were some passionate reactions in our comments. This one, from SurreyStore, is representative.
SurreyStore — “Its called Milking money out of people and companies, creating a new thing for people and company to spend money on and it wont really help the internet or its organization; its a useless thing.”

Twitter’s rapid and recent growth is causing the workplace to seem “chaotic” and some employees are finding their work sometimes overlaps work being done by others, according to an anonymous post on Quora written by someone claiming to be a Twitter engineer.
“The work culture is good, though chaotic,” the engineer said. “We’re on a ridiculous hiring spree, and getting to the size where communication is difficult, and duplicate work is starting to happen.” (more)

The short answer might be no, as a number of website developers are beginning to think in terms of extending the core web apps to better handle mobile devices, such as iPads and other tablets. This flies in the face of current trends, so let’s consider the pros and cons. (more)

When you control the pipes, you control the ecosystem. At the very least, you can impose your will on a good portion of the environment. This is what the mobile industry has come down to in the United States. Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint have as much or more say about the devices that eventually reach consumers hands than the platform providers or manufacturers. (more)

The Guggenheim is one of the real standouts in the global modern art arena. The New York-based institution is no light-weight in the area of arts education. They’ve now extended that mission extensively by making dozens of high-quality publications on artists available to anyone with an Internet connection. (more)

His face looks like the 3D movie version of some happy-go-lucky cartoon character, so for some, concocting a Charles Addams-like killer caption for Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is irresistible. On Friday the 13th, of all days, the Bloomberg Businessweek cover (for those of you who still read magazines) will feature Ballmer’s face along with its own idea of a “Caption This” contest entry, literally plastered in pink all over him.

Don’t be fooled: Nicole Scherzinger, No Doubt and Rise Against have not officially (or even unofficially) signed-on as Ron Paul supporters.
The Twitter accounts of all three recording artists appear to have been hacked early Wednesday morning, according to MSNBC. The hacker or hackers posted messages supporting Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. (more)

Looking for a quick pick-me-up in those late afternoon hours, I’ve found myself heading over to my Spotify account to check out what Facebook friends are listening to. While this has been a neat way to notice shared music tastes, there’s still something awkward about it. Unless I’ve already had some sort of communication about music with a friend on Spotify, or at least some recent contact on Facebook or otherwise, I feel weird scrolling through their playlists.

This year’s Consumer Electronics Show is getting ready to wrap up in Las Vegas tomorrow. There may not have been a single blockbuster product announcement, but when it comes to the future of television, CES is always good for a few hints about what to expect.

What’s your take on “addon domains?” Does Google penalize someone for having one or more addon domains on their main website, (or if they’re self-hosting)? eg If you saw 2, 5, or 10 websites all coming from the same IP address, would that be bad? Land Lubber, Colorado
Triple-X domains are cheap and easy: for $100, you can buy Alabama.xxx, Cornell.xxx, USDOJ.xxx, ProphetMuhammet.xxx, and plenty of others, data from Stanford’s Elie Bursztein shows.

It could be a coincidence or it could a collective cold shoulder for Go Daddy for its SOPA support–though the company actually reversed course yesterday.

On February 26, 2009, Google software engineer Matt Cutts collected questions on Google Moderator and answered many of them on video. cweave from Dallas, TX asked: When permanently redirecting (301) a large number of domains (read: more than 10) to 1 domain does Google flag this as suspicious? What considerations does Google look at? For the purposes of this question let’s assume this is a consolidation move.
I’ve got 2 domain names at the moment, let’s call them
domain1.net
domain2.com
My hosting package is setup for domain1.net – I access my cPanel account via www.domain1.net/cpanel.
domain2.com is setup as an Addon Domain within my cPanel account, which points to a specific directory on domain1.net – for example, visiting www.domain2.com points to www.domain1.net/folder1
My current email account is with GMail – this is the account that I want to receive all incoming email…let’s call it:
me@gmail.com
What I want to do is setup a custom email address (or several) for domain2.com – for example:
me@domain2.com
you@domain2.com
That will automatically forward or redirect any and all email messages sent to those addresses onto my GMail account, me@gmail.com
Is this possible? If so, how? Can anyone walk me through the steps I need to take in cPanel in order to set this up? Thanks!
Also, as an additional question that is very similar, how would I go about setting up an email account for domain1.net that would also forward all mail to me@gmail.com? Can I setup email accounts/forwarding for both domains and have them all send to me@gmail.com? Thanks again!
