Boycott .com! (and .gov and .mil too)
I’m seriously thinking about starting a campaign to boycott the entire .com network (TLD, top level domain network). .com sucks! Whether it’s Microsoft, Google, facebook, you name it. So much corruption. We don’t have to stop using their services altogether, we can just prefer .other websites instead. Stop the .com monopoly! For example Google, I’m displaying their ads on my website, Speedy Whois. I’m getting maybe one cent per day, maybe two in good days, and today I looked (after criticizing Google) and What I find out - frames with “Action canceled” [Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable. …… bla bla bla] / blank space in Mozilla Firefox. I’m sitting in a public Internet service but I think it’s important to show you how I see it before it changes again…. wait
OK OK…. sorry you had to wait so long. Here it is - MSIE and FireFox. Look for yourself!
OK! FIXED - and Moved Permanently to www.speedywhois.net - who needs .com anyway? Let me know if something doesn’t work. Except godaddy domains - they banned my ip address for too many queries. Boycott them too. They also cheated me with web hosting and charged lots of money to my credit card for using some 6% more of their disk space (I calculated and it was more than 100 times their regular price; more than 1000 times their “extended” price).
Boycott Google! Boycott godaddy! Boycott facebook! Boycott microsoft! Boycott all of them. You don’t have to stop using them altogether. Just prefer not to use them. Google already told me they don’t like my political views. They insist in writing me in Hebrew, although my language preference is English. I asked for a reply in English but they refuse to answer any more of my questions.
By the way, please let me know if Google ads are working on your website or not. I think they’re doing it only to me and my websites for personal and/or political reasons. I can understand if they want to display a blank space, but what’s the “Action canceled” about? They want my customers to think that I went bankrupt. Let them go look for their friends (that’s how we say in Hebrew) and please let me know if you recommend anything else.
Who cares about their SEO by the way… I have enough customers and don’t need them.
Oh by the way - boycott .gov and .mil too. At least they should change to .gov.us and .mil.us . Who do they think they are? Government of the world? They are criminals, what they are doing in Guantanamo, Iraq. No offence to their citizens who are not personally involved. I have many friends from America. But they are NOT .gov of the world! They want to be of course, they want to be .gov everywhere and not just a local network. But they are not. I’m seriously thinking about starting a campaign to remove them from the top level root - they deserve it! I’m starting a personal campaign against you - Mr. “president of the world”…
By the way I put ServerAlias www.speedywhois.com for you my friends, you don’t have to change your existing links. You can keep linking to either websites - I don’t mind. The permanent move is only until the next move - nothing is permanent in this life. Why don’t you .gov MOVE PERMANENTLY to .gov.us or maybe even to www.prison.gov.us!
By the way www.microsoft.info does not work! Link to Microsoft.info and let it appear first on Google! Link to facebook.info as well. Link to www.google.info and www.godaddy.info . Link to www.whitehouse.gov.us as well! Let president change his website. It’s about time! or link him directly to www.prison.gov.us instead! Link all companies to their .infos and if you don’t like a company link them to somewhere else! link all of them to www.prison.gov.us! It’s about time! I had enough of the big corporations and monopolies! link them to somewhere else!
Link to their infos! Express your freedom of speech! Let them go look for their friends! It’s about time to end the .com monopoly. Link to their infos. Link them to www.prison.gov.us . Let them go look for their friends.
If we believe we can do it together then we can do it. With enough links to www.whitehouse.gov.us it will become first on Google. With enough links to www.microsoft.info it will become first too. Google might remove these links for their own reasons (not responding…), but you can link to them anyway. Fill the web with links to their new locations, force them to relocate! It will be difficult for them to ignore such a thing… it’s very embarrasing! Especially if you don’t live in America - link to www.whitehouse.gov.us, force them to change it! They are not .gov of the world!
By the way it’s very annoying every time that I try to enter www.google.com and end up in www.google.co.il in Hebrew. They have automatic relocation. They don’t allow me to speak English. I’m using public computers. Every time I enter www.google.com, I have to switch to the English version and sometimes it’s the English version of www.google.co.il . They also display my Gmail address and probably record every search I ever made in my life. Sometimes they even fill their website with garbage, below the usual Google I get all the garbage and it takes more time to download. Enough google! You are also a monopoly just like Microsoft! Stop redirecting me to another website! Let me choose which website I want to use. It doesn’t matter where I’m located, who is the ISP. You should provide the same service to all users. Stop discriminating Google, stop censoring, and stop displaying big “Action canceled” on other people’s websites! You are specifically discriminating against me.
[2008-04-06] Oh by the way here’s the previous version of my website (Speedy Whois), until 2008-04-05. I checked and the Google ads are now working, I’m not putting a copy but believe me they are and the website looks fine. They probably fixed their bug already or maybe not and actually I suspect it’s not a bug but a feature to get rid of my website and send my customers somewhere else and they’re probably doing it to many people and especially for political reasons if they criticize China or Israel or Google or Godaddy or Whitehouse or anyone else affiliated with them.
Google: You do evil.
Godaddy: You too.

[by the way I update my website regularly and sometimes update posts too but if people will respond here I will try to keep the version they responded to as much as I can or add the date of update (currently 2008-04-06, mysql format). Google might think I am evil and they already told me they don't like my website and political views but the problem is they are a monopoly as much as microsoft and should be treated as such.]
