PHD in China Update

I have since received a second e-mail. Best I can tell they are trying to sell me other domain names in case I ever want to do business in China or Asia under the name ~ THE PRIMITIVE HANDMADE DIRECTORY ~. I don't see that happening. So no worries there. I have heard from a few thats its a scam. Just beware. Dear Menachem Husarsky: WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THIS? Thanks for your prompt reply. We knew you have registered the domain name “theprimitivehandmadedirectory.com” and own the intellectual property / own the trademark “theprimitivehandmadedirectory”, this is why we informed you. But now the company wanted to apply for other domain names and internet trademark name you have not registered yet. the company wants to apply the following domain names and internet trademark name: 1. Domain Name www. theprimitivehandmadedirectory.cn www. theprimitivehandmadedirectory.com.cn www. theprimitivehandmadedirectory.net.cn www. theprimitivehandmadedirectory.org.cn www. theprimitivehandmadedirectory.asia 2. Internet trademark Name theprimitivehandmadedirectory You must know Domain name takes open registration, this is international domain name registration principle. So the company has right to register them. As a domain name registrar, we have no right to dispute their application. So required by China government to inform your company to protect your interest. But as the company whose trademarks relate to the applied domains, you will get the priority to register these domain names. If you have business in China & Asia or you want to develop business in China & Asia in the near future, so I think these domain names are very important for you! Of course, each company has their own idea. If you don’t think their application will affect your company, you can give up, we will finish their registration. But if you think these domain names are useful for your company, we can send an application form to you and help you register these within dispute period. This is the only way to prevent domain name grab. Pls let us know your decision soon, so that we can handle the next step. Best regards, Ms Angela

PHD in China

Today I received this e-mail. I thought once you registered your Domain name it was yours. I guess thats true yours in the US but not in other countries. Its your domain name for the internet so I think its your name everywhere. I'll have to look into this further. I thought it was funny that they are from China and want to use the name THE PRIMITIVE HANDMADE DIRECTORY. Dear Manager: We are a Domain Name registration service company, which is a professional Internet Domain Name Registration and dispute resolution organization in China. On September.25th,2009, We received HAITONG Investment company's application that they are registering the name "theprimitivehandmadedirectory" as their Internet Trademarkand "theprimitivehandmadedirectory.cn"、 "theprimitivehandmadedirectory.com.cn" 、"theprimitivehandmadedirectory.asia" domain names etc., It is China and ASIA domain names. But after auditing we found the brand name been used by your company. As the domain name registrar in China, it is our duty to notice you, so I am sending you this Email to check. According to the principle in China, your company is the owner of the trademark, In our auditing time we can keep the domain names safe for you firstly, but our audit period is limited, if you object the third party application these domain names and need to protect the brand in china and Asia by yourself, please let the responsible officer contact us as soon as possible. Thank you! Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards Angela Oversea marketing manager Company: YIGUAN(CHINA)IT Co.,Ltd.

What Happened With Plug Me

For me it started on or about 12th I noticed that the pages I had my Plug Me plugboard on had gone to error. When I checked around everyone that has a Plug Me plugboard on their site/page was in error. I was gald to see it wasn't just me. It is in error unless you allow pop ups. Don't allow them I had pages opening and opening and opening I couldn't close them. I was freaked. I contacted Plug Me with no response. I have heard from others and they are having the same issue. If you have a Plug Me plugboard check out your page, I'm sure its in error too. Two of my pet peves are errors and red x's so for the time being I have removed my Plug Me plugboards. I do still have my plugboard from WAHM Plugboards.Tina gives you a great deal for $10.00 a year you get your plugboard hosted, you get a listing on Home page and 3 months in the banner rotation. Its alot of advertising for $10.00 plus your board. You can't go wrong. If you looking for a new plugboard host look no further.
