Trellian.com Acquires Successful Drop Catch Platform Domainshield.com.au
Melbourne, Australia – October 10, 2017: Trellian has announced its further expansion into the .AU drop catch business with the acquisition of the highly successful drop catch platform DomainShield.com.au.
Having only a handful of auDA accredited registrars that are authorized to drop catch, the acquisition further strengthens Trellian’s February 2017 acquisition of Drop.com.au drop catch platform and registrar.
The two drop catching operations will gradually be consolidated under the Drop.com.au brand, taking the best parts from each platform, plus many other functions from the existing Above.com Domain Portfolio Manager and Marketplace.

Pinterest Offers New Paid Search Platform to Advertisers
Over the past few months, Pinterest has made the jump into ad sales with its new paid search platform and Pinterest Ads Manager app. The scale of the website, the addition of visual search tech and the niche oriented approach could soon bring Pinterest Paid Ads into competition with some of its predecessors.
The Scope
Pinterest Ad’s Ads Manager app services are open to all businesses with at least one Pin. The Manager gives companies the ability to create, optimize and track selected Pins. Most impressively, however, is the focus on the so called “discovery” phase of paid search. This phase is said to occur when the user is open to suggestions about a purchase and does not have anything specific in mind.

FCC Adopts Net Neutrality with 3-2 Vote: Next Century Cities See Immediate Results
On Thursday, February 26, 2015 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the widely-discussed policy known as Net Neutrality. The policy was voted in by a 3-2 vote. During a public statement, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler state that the policy will enforce the concept “that no one — whether government or corporate — should control free open access to the Internet.”
This historic policy helps to answer an essential question about how the Internet currently works and how it will be accessed in the future. In short, the Net Neutrality policy will require services providers to be neutral gateways. In other words, the concept of handling different types of Internet traffic in different ways, and at different costs, has been shot-down.

New Generic Top Level Domains are Up For Grabs
This year, businesses and webmasters tired of the usual .com, .net and .org domains are in luck, as domain name authority ICANN is making hundreds of new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) available to trademark holders and the general public. ICANN began releasing dozens of gTLDs back in October 2013, with over 630 planned for release throughout 2014. In total, over 1,900 gTLDs are expected to be released by 2015.
For many businesses and webmasters, it means that they’ll no longer be restricted to using one of the 22 gTLDs that existed since 1985. Businesses and webmasters in search of a swanky new domain name or one that better reflects their website will now have hundreds to choose from by year’s end.
