IPhone.com domain not registered to Apple


Try to type in http://www.iphone.com although they sell mobile phones, you don't see an iPhone at this site, as this site is not owned by apple, and has probably been registered by some speculate thinking "hey, if people wants to buy a phone they will at this point type in iphone.com".
And yes my guess is this guy is getting a lot of traffic by people just just typing in the address in the address bar.

But this guy it not the only one, according to Name Intelligence, about 450 domains with the word "iPhone" were registered on Jan. 11 and about 375 on Jan. 12 - just days after Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone at the Macworld conference in San Francisco.

Several of these domain names can be found and bought at a very high price on auction sites like ebay.

Myspace Is Loosing Traffic


When talking about social network sites, the most known and spoken of have always been Myspace.

Now some new runners is stealing market shares from Myspace, in May the research firm Nielsen/Netratings saw a drop in UK traffic to myspace, while Bebo and Facebook is attracting more and more traffic.
Facebook has grown its traffic by 500% in the last six month (Damn that's a lot).
Although this is a big step for Facebook Myspace is still in the lead with 6.5 million UK users, compared to Bebo with 4 million and Facebook with 3.2 million.

Rupert Murdoch, who bought MySpace in 2005, has already expressed concern about the growth of Facebook. His executives will now be under even more pressure to find ways of making MySpace fashionable again.
