CrowdSound is a social widget that allows anyone to become part of a discussion on ...

I’m a bit of a domain name buff, ever have been since my first job as an account manager of Belgium’s largest domain name registrar and hosting provider. So I’m currently trying to fight the urge to buy this supercool poster from Bytelevel. From the website: There are more than 260 TLDs in use around the world, most of which are country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). The Country Codes of the World map includes 245 ...

In case you haven’t read this elsewhere (I haven’t, but the press release is dated 11 July): BIC, the French company whose name will infinitely be linked to ballpoint pens - in fact, in Belgium, Greece and France, the name has even become downright generic - has set up a partnership with Orange and Alacatel to market a basic mobile phone aptly named the BIC Phone.
