RegisterFly.com now RegFly.com?
Posted on March 2nd, 2008 by Jack in Industry News
"It looks like RegisterFly is trying to get back on their feet. The RegisterFly.com domain and all emails now take you to RegFly.com - with the ICANN termination notice removed.
If you notice, the footer now says "A service of Retail Web Group.", linking to http://www.retailweb.us/ . What I find funny is that its registered by Robert O’Neill (regfly ceo) at GoDaddy….Not Registerfly! Plus his email contact is an "@hostflex.com" address - could this be another one of Regflys many spin off services?

"SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. will begin storing the medical records of a few thousand people as it tests a long-awaited health service that’s likely to raise more concerns about the volume of sensitive information entrusted to the Internet search leader.
The pilot project to be announced Thursday will involve 1,500 to 10,000 patients at the Cleveland Clinic who volunteered to an electronic transfer of their personal health records so they can be retrieved through Google’s new service, which won’t be open to the general public.
Each health profile, including information about prescriptions, allergies and medical histories, will be protected by a password that’s also required to use other Google services such as e-mail and personalized search tools.

LOS ANGELES : Peter Dengate Thrush, a New Zealand lawyer, has been elected unanimously as the new Chairman of the Board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
