www.freelinereport.com Getting sick of all those Facebook application requests? Get ready to see a cut down on all that clutter — Facebook released a new initiative that will reward Facebook Apps that people like, and punish those that get a poor response, by limiting how many notices and invitations they send out. Nice. The more people use an application, not spam with it — the more power it gets. But with MySpace putting out its own application framework last week, get ready to see more pokes — and more pushy friends. www.freelinereport.com Mac users need to check out the beta version of the new Safari browser. This thing is blazing fast — it leaves FireFox in the dust and it just might get Apple into the browser wars. Of course, it doesn’t have the add-on’s and plug-in’s that Firefox does, but you need to see the speed to believe it. www.freelinereport.com Yahoo keeps pushing out new toys for people to use, even while fending off hostile takeovers. Their latest web application is Yahoo Live — a live streaming website that allows you to broadcast video in real time over the internet, like uStream. Very cool. www.freelinereport.com OpenID, a system for allowing users to log into any website with a single username and password, has rocketed forward this week with plans for support announced from web giants Microsoft, Google, and Verisign. Combined with the support from big movers like LiveJournal, Yahoo and many others, this standard for world wide login’s may be …
I owned few domain names and bought it through Yahoo. They all expired few months ago, i did not renew them. Today, just for the heck of it, i checked to see if i can buy back the domain names again but it said its already sold. So i went to WHOIS to check out who owns it, it still shows me as the owner/administrator. How can this be? i didn’t make a payment? Does Yahoo hold the domain name or something? how can i get rid of it so it doesn’t show me as the owner and make the domain name available again to others?
while I’m at it? Can someone give a brief idiot’s guide to domain names, carriers, web hosters – consolidating all of this to make it no brainer with a carrier (like yahoo????) who would be very user-friendly when it comes time to create and run a website??
My domain name is expiring, I want to transfer to another registrar. I won’t pay $35 for a 2nd year through yahoo.
nevermind, figured it out through godaddy.com thanks!
I keep getting offers from groups like “Liberty Names” to renew my domain name but I just want to do it with Yahoo again. Unfortuanately, I cannot find anywhere on the Yahoo sight that actually gives me the opportunity to “renew.”
I’ve recently experienced some frustrating issues with managing my yahoo domain and web hosting services. I’m not sure how I did it.. but I accidently deleted my web hosting plan. Then I ended up canceling my domain name because I thought it would take affect immediately (meaning it would be available for purchase again within a short period of time so I could get it on another yahoo account). After I canceled all this, I found that it would take until 2012 until my domain name expired, so even though I canceled my rights to it, unless I reactivate it.. I will not be able to use it at all.
Basically, I was wondering what would happen if I delete this entire yahoo! account- would that make the domain name available for purchase again?
Or, if I were to reactivate the domain name, is there any way I can transfer it to another yahoo account?
Sorry if this is confusing..
Answers are greeeeattly appreciated.
