Domain names are
good business opportunities and at the same time horrible examples of mistaken identity. I was searching the name Gianna Cardinale last night to check if I can still rush to a domain registrar and have my website registered. The web search gave me two matches of Gianna Cardinale.
The first one led me to home.pacbell.net/bill_gi/gianna/, a website that deals with Ornamental Horticulture. Here, you can get information about color spot nurseries and herbs owned by Mountain Valley growers. The second match is about a twelve-year old Gianna Cardinale, a winner in the fun run of the Los Gatos Elementary Education Foundation. I'm not exactly 12, and I'd rather have asthma than run a hundred miles in a color spot garden. Jeez, I'm a lover of the Internet, but with these silly results cropping up, I might as well do a rally for
Internet censorship.
It's a good thing Yahoo already launched their cheap domain registration service. Imagine for only $9 annually, Yahoo will provide web services to your domain and bring-in web messages and traffic to your site. I've already registered my own domain name last night. But don't worry, you won't see any horticulture issues there, nor a Gianna vying for the Olympics.
