giles vs. PACA_102908


giles appeared on a panel for the picture archive council of america on sunday. discussing what role technology is playing in new business opportunities, giles sat along-side represenatives from adobe and the national academy of recording arts and sciences (see also: the grammies). a full-breakdown of the proceedings is as follows:

This session brings together a range of panelists, some (relatively) new to the stock photography industry, others from creative industries outside our own; but all with a real interest in technology and how it is rapidly changing?and for some, has already changed?the landscape and business of monetizing digital assets in an online environment. Expect a lively discussion, revealing insights, and differing perspectives that reflect the diverse backgrounds of the panelists.

Panelists: Kevin Goldsmith (Adobe), John Griffin (CutCaster), Oleg Tscheltzoff (Fotolia), Ben London (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences), Giles Copp (Version Industries)

Moderator: Jeff Burke, Former PACA President

Sponsored by Imprezzeo.

godaddy vs. deadsy_052808

those of you who care for a little disgust mixed in with your morning coffee, hit godaddy.com and throw the search keyword ‘deadsy’ into their start your domain search here box. you’ll note after the more regular recommended domain purchases that they have a few ‘premium domain names’ suggested:

godaddy website screenshot


yep, you read that right:

deadmuslims.com

UPDATE:

we just received this note in the comments section from godaddy themselves:

“To those concerned,

Please know that the Premium Domain Name listing for DEADMUSLIMS.COM was recently brought to our attention. As you might imagine, Go Daddy deals with a very large number of domain names on any given day, and the processing of these names is necessarily automated. This can include our Premium Domain Name offerings, as it did in this case.

Although we make no direct judgment regarding the validity of any domain name, we do feel that removing this domain from the list of recommended names is in the best interest of our customers who may be offended by it. Since the posting of your article, the Premium Domain Name listing has been removed from the Go Daddy website. We appreciate your understanding in this matter, and we sincerely apologize to anyone who may have been negatively affected by the listing.

Office of the President
Go Daddy”

thanks for listening GD.
