China delimits Internet Webmaking

As befits a national government free of corruption, China today underscored its intent to censor Internet activity centered on website launches and content creation, citing prevention of child-based pornography, piracy, and fraud.

Yet transparently this seems to many to be a way for the current political establishment to elimination development of the opposition. And, ironically, these efforts to shut down sites leave the options to buy .Cn domains to foriegners.

“Individuals have also been banned from registering Web sites ending in .cn, China’s country code domain name. That domain is now limited to registered businesses.

 Although individuals can still register Web sites in other domains, such as .com and .net, the new rule “will have a negative impact on the vibrancy of the Chinese Internet,” Kenneth Jarrett, vice chairman of the communications firm APCO Worldwide’s China region, said in an e-mail message.

“Local e-mail e-commerce startups and individuals will find it difficult to apply,” he wrote.”

All minisites are not alike

All minisites are not alike. So sayeth some industry watchers cynically assessing the market adaptibility to the minsite trend. Steve Higashi, of Toronto, Canada, (promoter for www.ShoppingCartForum.com), clucked over the tendency of many domainers and domain webmasters to accept ‘cookie cutter” quality minisites.

“Our services provide custom design attributes that separates our website product from the template driven minisite item on sight.” Higashi is betting on forum driven attraction to the checkout engine portal and putting his faith in word of mouth and interested site programmers checking back, rather than stray type-in traffic and casual browsing.
