Since March 9th, 2008, the .LT domain name is now accessible using the IPv6 protocol. This was one of the .lt domain registry DNS service infrastructure upgrade plans and facilitates access to internet users and internet service providers who are using or want to start using the IP version 6 protocol. After successfully launching the new service, the .LT domain DNS IPv6 servers have been seeing steadily increasing DNS query traffic. This proves that demand for the new service is real.

On her Name.com Blog, Kellie Peterson summarizes the Domaining Session that took place at the SES show (Search Engine Strategies Show) on the 18th of March, 2008. According to her it was ”a crazy negative session on Domaining and Domainers“.
She writes, “If you thought that Google & Yahoo! were working in a vacuum to make life more difficult for domainers you’re kidding yourself. I’ve seen the enemy and the enemy is SEO.
I’m in NYC for the Search Engine Strategies show. For those of you who do not know what I’m talking about, SES is the largest conferences dedicated to improving your visibility within search engines. Google and Yahoo! reign here. Whether your goal is natural/non-paid results or better placement in paid results.
In yesterday’s Domaining and Address Bar Navigation session Sedo’s Matt Bentley and Moniker’s Monte Cahn found themselves up against the anti-domaining duo of Point-It’s John Lisbin and Sendtec’s Janel Landis. The timing for the discussion couldn’t have been better due to Google’s recent announcement that advertisers will be able to opt-out of parked pages for their campaigns.

Our society is turning into an Information Gathering Orgy. Not only do retailers want to know what you buy and when you buy it but advertising conglomerates are now able to predict which ads you will most likely react to based on information they have been gathering about you and your family on the Internet. A new analysis of online consumer data shows that large Web companies are learning more about people than ever from what they search for and do on the Internet, gathering clues about the tastes and preferences of a typical user several hundred times a month. These companies use that information to predict what content and advertisements people most likely want to see. They can charge steep prices for carefully tailored ads because of their high response rates.
