There are hundreds of millions of domains on the net, of which a portion of them are inactive and they are gradually being deleted from the database. So if you're a blogger or a website developer for your company, probably you'd feel frustrated when a particular domain which you're targeting is being taken. It's quite troublesome to manually search for expired domains that are on hold. Maybe you'd like to find out when a specific domain name expires so that you can snatch it up faster than anyone could. This is when a premium service called Deleted Domains comes in really handy. Dubbed as the "on hold and expired domain search", it offers useful features that will enable you to find the latest deleted or on hold domains with just a few clicks of your mouse, without any much tedious effort. Some of them includes performing unlimited deleted domain searches, filtering domain searches using extensive search criteria, exporting domain deletion results to CSV files, receiving daily deleted domain email alerts and find deleted and pending .com, .net and .org domains. Of course, one of the greatest advantage is that you can get deleted domains before anyone else!

Californian-based company Twitter is the world's most popular micro-blogging platform and the third largest social network tailing behind giants Facebook and Myspace, according to Compete. It has attracted millions of users to sign up for an account and that includes celebrities such as Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps. Some micro-blogging rivals like Plurk are trying to innovate new ways to overtake Twitter, but they simply can't because Twitter has lots of media coverage made by news companies and websites and hence resulting in a rapid growth. Currently, Twitter has two versions - the original website (international) and the Japanese version (targeting the Japanese). However, the folks at Twitter haven't come up with a Chinese version yet, probably it's because of many rivals in this field and the lack of people who post tweets in Chinese. And one of the rivals is Fanfou, a chinese website which happens to be an exact replica of Twitter and is quite popular in China.

During the Great Depression in the 1930s, Mr Franklin Roosevelt's astute use of "fireside chats" and private meetings with reporters came to redefine how future generations of US presidents viewed media strategy. Using his reassuring voice and personal charm to good effect during these encounters, FDR, as the 32nd US president is more popularity known, was said to have wielded masterly control over public opinion in those turbulent times. Current President Barack Obama appears to be gunning for similar results with a new media strategy of his own. He is making aggressive use of the Internet and social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter, and has even taken to popping up on popular talk shows to reach out to a wider audience. On Thursday, he held the first-ever "online town hall" meeting at which more than 92,000 Americans posed questions on the White House website and then watched him respond to the most popular ones via live-stream video. Official figures said some 104,000 questions were submitted and 3.6 million votes cast for the favorite queries, mostly on jobs and the economy.
