Expired Domain Name Search makes Cybersquatting Easy

Web Domain NamesWeb Domain Names are Intellectual Property but despite all the laws, domain squatting remains a very lucrative business thanks to various domain parking schemes that let you monetize typo-domains without even creating a single webpage.

Expired Domain Names is a new service to find expiring or deleted web domain names that are up for grabs because the actual owner either forgot to renew the domain or is no longer interested in maintaining it.

The real useful part about this service is the "Regular Expression" search or regex - if that sounds too geeky, think of regexp search as an advanced form of search where you can even look for patterns in the domain name - for instance, a search for "yahoo" would show all expiring domain names that have yahoo somewhere in the name.

Expired Domain Names list is based on the Pool.com registry of web domains that are pending deletion and available for backorder. They also do an automatic search at US Trademark Search uspto.gov for the domain name to make sure no trademarks are infringed on.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
