Google May Knee Cap Domain Tasting
Google is said to be considering banning newly registered domain names from participating in the Google for Domain Names program, severely hampering the practice of domain tasting.According to Jay Westerdal at Domain Tools, Google would block all domains if they are less then five days old. In Jay’s words, “This potential new policy change by Google could stop all Domain Tasting in its tracks.”
Domain tasting, for those not familiar with it, is the practice of registrants using the five-day grace period at the beginning of a domain registration to test the marketability of a domain name (full Wikipedia entry here).
I’m a little hesitant in suggesting that Google’s move will completely wipe out domain testing, because there are no shortage of alternative advertising programs for domains, however Westerdal is a heavily involved in the industry, and he would suggest that Google is where most domain tasters are generating revenue:
It was disclosed in court that one partner that Google had was generating as much as $3 million dollars a month from the practice and that was after Google’s revenue share. Oversee.net and other companies have been using this practice for years and it will have a direct impact on them. The gravy train of free money might be coming to a halt very fast. This policy change at Google should be announced to the channel partners soon and it will have a huge echoing impact on the Industry….I think this is a return of the “Be Good” motto Google had a few years ago. Google has been quietly enabling this practice for years now. This is a smart policy move on Google’s part to ward off impending litigation that might have hit them in the coming months.

Photos and Windows Live Spaces: Embed photos or albums.
The latest improvements coming to Windows Live Spaces introduced a few changes to the way photos are handled, but with all of the announcements about Events and the changes to SkyDrive, you may have missed what has just happened. We thought we would provide a little primer on what is available for Windows Live Spaces and photos, as some of of the changes that have been appearing over the last few weeks are adding up to provide a nice set of services around photos. Brandon has been playing with the new photo features, and we thought we would too:

Gmail: POP and now IMAP
I’ve had a Gmail account since September 7th, 2004 and currently have 13096 conversations (and counting) in my “All Mail” box using up roughly 1GB of space. One of my first suggestions to the Gmail team was IMAP, and I am glad to see that it has finally made its way in.
The advantage of IMAP over POP is that you can see a list of your folders (or in Gmail’s case, tags) and emails that you can move around, mark read/unread, reply, forward, etc. right in your favourite email client, and any action will be synced with the server. Thus, you can mark mail as read, and label it some tags from Outlook, and Gmail will automatically do the same thing on their side as well. Also, since all the actions and mail are synced with the Gmail server, whenever you login from any client configured for your email, or from the Gmail web interface, you will see the same list of emails in the same tags. POP only allows you to get the mail (in one single inbox folder, relying on your client to filter any incoming mail), but any further actions won’t be synced up.
I’ve known that Gmail was going to add in IMAP a week or two ago while reading “Look out Outlook IMAP for Gmail is Coming” on GottaBeMobile, but I didn’t realize that I would get the functionality so quickly. So I found the IMAP feature in my Gmail today (I don’t use the web interface much) and I thought I’d try it out. It took a while to sync up all the folders and headers. Anyway, I’m still debating whether or not to keep it. I’m still trying to figure out how to archive mail from the inbox, and trying to get Outlook to download the entire messages from the server.
