I have been fairly active on spreading awareness of the threat SOPA and PIPA pose to the Internet, but today with the blackout of Wikipedia, Reddit, and the Google logo (which links to a Google SOPA and PIPA petition), the web is buzzing with disdain!
Here is a simple way to find out which representatives you should contact via phone and social media.
Facebook announced a number of changes at F8 in 2011, most notably ‘Timeline’. Another big announcement was the expansion of the open graph and the use of other verbs & social activities. Now you can see what music friends are listening to and join them if you wish via the chat sidebar.
CES is always a time for excitement and letdowns. I was disappointed that Nvidia didn’t reveal a release date for Kepler! Each year, there are some announcements that I didn’t expect!
YouTube user edbassmaster has a lot of great videos on his channel. Here is one of my favorite characters he portrays.
GoDaddy has been a hot topic in the web community in the last few days over their support of SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). This interview with the GoDaddy CEO added fuel to the fire of the Reddit backlash against GoDaddy’s support of SOPA. Reddit has spurred a strong boycott against GoDaddy, and many sites (including Wikipedia) are transferring their domains and/or hosting services to other platforms.
I transferred mine to Namecheap. Their site offers instructions on how to make a domain transfer from GoDaddy.
First, you need to unlock your domain and email the authorization code from your GoDaddy Domain Manager.
Once you do that, order your domain transfer from Namecheap.
Apply the coupon code ‘SOPASucks’ to save a dollar, and the total should be around $7.18. NOTE: You will not lose any years of registration. I had 9 years with GoDaddy, and now I have 10 years with Namecheap (the $7.18 goes towards the additional year).
After you order the transfer, visit the Namecheap Domain Transfer Status page and click your domain, then enter in the code you received in your email from GoDaddy.
