We've now implemented internationalised domain names (IDN) including Māori macrons on the site. This means you can score your favourite .com name but in non-Latin characters such as Chinese, Arabic or Hindi. Just cut and paste the script into the search engine and away you go. Here are some examples: http://iwantmyname.com/search... http://iwantmyname.com/search... http://iwantmyname.com/search... iWantMyName is the only registrar in New Zealand currently offering this service. If you are a web developer or designer and have clients with non-English speaking markets, why not secure an IDN domain for their website. iWantMyName is a secure, innovative Wellington based registrar established by experienced domain industry veterans (and UP members!)

Wow, I just saw something stealth coming out at TechCrunch's real time Crunchup on Friday that's going to bring blogging back. Big time.

Allen: Steve Rubel will bring his blog back after Friday.
- Robert Scoble
wow nice
- Allen Stern
Bill: I can't tell, agreed to an embargo, but you're already getting a preview. Just think about your blog now (or mine). :-)

Blogging was dead?
- Ara Pehlivanian
Real Time is where it's at.
- Robert Scoble
too bad sites like mine can't be ready to post about it :(
- Allen Stern
Ara: have I blogged this week? If I had what is coming on Friday I would blog a lot more.
- Robert Scoble
FriendFeed Pro?
- Chris Saad

- caj needs a haircut
Allen: embargoes suck. I know. But you should be one of the first sites to use this.
- Robert Scoble
i dont even have an embargo robert - oh well, no worries
- Allen Stern
Chris: no. Not FriendFeed Pro. Although if FriendFeed were smart they'd buy the company after Friday.

Data Portability Exporter 1.0 ? :-P
- Allen Stern
blogging never died. Some things make it easier and better. http://posterous.com
- Dj Skunk Diesel
Allen: there is a lot of data portability in what I saw, yes.
- Robert Scoble
i think Data Portability is the future :D </obvious statement>
- Chris Saad
Dj: it is going to be interesting to see how this changes people's approach to blogging and Tumblr/Posterous.
- Robert Scoble
Dj: it is going to be very interesting to talk with Steve Rubel on Friday afternoon after the demo.
- Robert Scoble
it's the first ever virtual blogging tool - you just imagine your posts and they appear!
- Allen Stern
Allen: I imagine that you appear and you do, how do you do that? :-)
- Robert Scoble
oh i just bought guy's package - i have hired a team of allen's - for example, i am the evening shift allen (allen2.1 internally) - the night allen arrives at 11pm (allen 4.2 internally)
- Allen Stern
Am I that far behind? Why is blogging dead, and by real time you are talking about more than live stream video?
- ASKJDOG
Hmmm. Sounds like FF benefits from this.
- Nick in Manila
Nick: FriendFeed might benefit, yes. JDOG: we are talking about real time text. Just like here.
- Robert Scoble
Allen: you are cracking me up. So fun! =)

miiko - sometimes we all need to smile, that's my job as Allen2.1
- Allen Stern
Allen: personally I like the morning shift better. Since I'm in London I'll go to sleep now and wait for him to show up.
- Robert Scoble
Got it: real time text stream = "blog." Blogging is dead; long live blogging!!
- Tom Guarriello
remember when techCrunch said they were gonna break embargoes... you should, too
- Marco
aah still in london! get off ff and have some fun
- Allen Stern
Allen: I was off FriendFeed all day!
- Robert Scoble
How can you bring something back that isn't gone. Have you seen the WordPress growth numbers? They have been very consistent and very impressive for many, many months.
- Christopher Harper
Missionary: well, I have definitely left a lot of my blogging due to real time interactions like these, but I don't have page views to worry about.
- Robert Scoble
Now ur both making me laugh. Good times!
- Miiko Mentz
from iPhone
Can we mere mortals watch it online
- Mark
Mark: I don't know about video, but I'm sure that the second this gets announced it will be discussed on FriendFeed to death.
- Robert Scoble
miiko - be nice or i get out the voodoo doll!
- Allen Stern
Thanks Robert. I'm starting to "get it" just thinking how to implement this in my niche
- ASKJDOG
I just add a lot of this other stuff to the blogging I'm already doing. Most savvy bloggers are doing the same thing. They sort of all fit together in my world.
- Christopher Harper
it's after 3am in London
- Ian May
somehow this feels like a test of the "tc50 and demo broadcast system" - im sure we will see more of these "oh hot damn i just saw x but i cant talk about it until y" posts come sept.
- Allen Stern
Allen, why do companies talk to people about products and then tell them they must tell no one about it? I mean, since no one can talk about it, no extra excitement is generated? I don't really get it
- Mark
Allen, gotta luv the voodoo doll. ;)
- Miiko Mentz
from iPhone
@Allen, to give the individual an opportunity to form an opinion and write a well thought out article when the service launches.
- Darren
Mark, tomorrow's event will be streamed live. Hopefully it all goes smoothly.
- Miiko Mentz
from iPhone
Mark - embargoes give writers a chance to test and play before the tool goes live - so the posts should be better than just press release copy - i rarely ever mention a product before it goes live - scoble likes to build excitement about what he sees. i just wish that more companies learned that excluisves are bad for startups
- Allen Stern
Thanks Allen
- Mark
Mark: PR people tell me they use embargoes so that they can brief a large number of people without pissing anyone off. If I wrote about this stealth company tonight, for instance, lots of other journalists would get pissed off at the company. Some, like TechCrunch, even refuse to write about companies if they aren't given equal access. It also, like Allen says, gives writers a chance to produce videos and test out products so they can write more authoritatively about them.
- Robert Scoble
So its largely to stop competing blogs, sites etc from complaining that Site X got earlier access than Site Y for example?
- Mark
Robert/Allen, well said. Mark, in theory, yes. But it doesn't always work out that way.
- Miiko Mentz
from iPhone
So what was all the fuss Arrington was making last year about embargoes? Didn't he say he would violate every single one?
- Mark
I can't wait to hear about it!
- Joshua M
Mark: Arrington just said he reserves the right to break embargoes when he wants. Usually if the company deals with him straight up he'll agree to the embargo. What I hate are companies that give some people special deals. Apple does this all the time, which is why I never go to Apple press conferences anymore.
- Robert Scoble
a good example of poor choices are YC startups - they go to tc/sent to tc/etc and miss so many more opportunities for coverage - works well for TC tho - they always get a HN frontpage.
- Allen Stern
Hint?
- Scott Williams
from BuddyFeed
scott - he said "after lunch" so check which startups are presenting after lunch lol
- Allen Stern
Thank you Backtype for bringing this to me. I can't wait to hear about whatever this is.
- Steve Rubel
Robert how will we know when this thing your talking about is public? How will you update us?
- Chris Saad
@Chris - you won't miss it. He will be on a unicorn that everyone is talking about. JK - looking forward to this
- Steve Rubel
@Steve haha true
- Chris Saad
Can't wait to hear more. I hope it's a tool to make it easy to aggregate content into blog posts -- that's what I've been wishing for lately. Sometimes I have up to ten browser tabs open to pull in all the urls, images, videos and quotes I want to include in a new blog post.

It will be interesting to see what it is. Maybe my guest bloggers will cover the story. I am on a worklife summer break! Blogger since '02.

Robert Blogging has never gone away! Not in my book.
- Technogran
Scoble, are you referring to LazyFeed ?
- Ahsan Ali
We here at Posterous are looking forward to the announcement. Innovation is always great -- can't wait to see what's going down on Friday.
- Garry Tan
Sounds a lot like LazyFeed: http://www.louisgray.com/live...

Blogging straight from my brain coming tomorrow! Hook me up!

@Michael For the love of gods, don't invoke Zobzee!
- Sam Harrelson
All this is making me wish Friday comes sooner. For me it will be another 24 hours away as I presume @Scoble is referring to US PST.

Robert! U R such a TEASE! *giggle*

hmmm I wonder what this is....

I guess it's this: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... ... The WordPress Jabber client

No, the blog is not dead by any means http://lifestreamblog.com/should-... but Lifestreaming is almost a necessary component needed for supplementing them with the advent of real-time http://lifestreamblog.com/you-say...
- Mark Krynsky
so TC has come out with 300 invites to LazyFeed (which are sadly gone), any going here? :P
- Marlin Forbes
It's Friday. Who's the stealth company that's gonna "bring blogging back" and how are they gonna do so?
- Brad Williamson
According to the presenter, Echo is the service: http://js-kit.com/echo/
- Brandon Titus
Thanks Brandon ;-)
- Brad Williamson
I really don't like being forced to spam my tweetstream just to sign in for an Echo invite. I won't do it. Bad bad practice, guys. But fascinating service concept.
- Nick in Manila
I understand scoble's statement now. I was all ready to shift 97% of my publishing off my blog and onto platforms like FriendFeed till I just saw how Echo and the new Disqus features are enhancing the conversation on the blog. It's dragging me back.
- Nick in Manila
Glad to hear you will be blogging more Nick - FriendFeed and other services are fantastic for virality and discussions with your friends - We feel that Echo makes those services even MORE relevant while putting your blog back in the picture.
- Chris Saad
Chris - interesting. This certainly isn't an either/or thing. Well, not any longer. Heh.
- Nick in Manila
It rarely is :) Communication systems rarely go away - they only find their place

Just to confirm: you were referring to the pubsubhubbub demo at the real-time crunchup?

Domain Gripe: Why do I have to pay GoDaddy around $25 a year so I can keep my information private and out of whois?! It seems that having your information kept private should be the default behavior. I feel it's some kind of conspiracy by registrars to extract more money out of you.
Timo Reitnauer, John Wright, MarkHirsch and Kim Landwehr liked this
Some background reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Micah
The private reg is only ~$9/yr. The $25 must be for a package including other stuff. Read the fine print. But yes, this should be default and free.

Micah - thanks for the link.
- Mike Bracco
Domains from http://1and1.com are less than $10 per year with free private registration. The only drawback to 1and1 that I've found so far is they don't allow you to register a name for X number of years at a time. You can only renew your registration every year.

iWantMyName is a domain registration and management service for international domain names. We have started the site because we found other domain registrars far too difficult to use.
