Deadline for domain names extended, tech glitch
Associated Press – Fri, Apr 13, 2012
http://news.yahoo.com/deadline-domain-names-extended-tech-glitch-153046874.html

Article 1 gives us a brief over view of company's wants for more adult content domain names. Article 2 is about domain names also, but a push for domain names that will specifically specify a company by its origin. Of course while working to put these actions in effect, there's always problems encountered. The third article gives us as readers a short overview of new domain deadlines that has been extended. The company ICANN offered those proposals due to a glitch encountered.


Relevance to class

Choosing a domain name is very important, whether you want .com, .org, .xxx, or .abc it makes a difference. If we can categorize our domains by what we want it would be cool. I would have mine be www.example.brooklyn, just because I am from their.
