Google Eyes Domain Registration Market

Posted by timothy on from the they-know-what-domains-you've-searched-for dept.

1sockchuck writes "Google is now an ICANN-approved domain name registrar, an intriguing move that could be tied to its blog hosting service, Blogger. Yahoo recently dropped its domain prices to $4.98, as hosting companies use domains as a cheap way to lure customers. Registrar status could allow Google to compete aggressively on price. Bloggers seem to resist paying for hosting, so cheap domains might help Google's plans for world domination."

    Most of the people who could be considered "experienced" moderators have a tendency to disable mod points in their preferences.

    So, rather than having a bar for minimum skill level when moderating, slashdot actually seems to have a bar for MAXIMUM skill level.
