Funny thing is the Gizmodo writer blasts one of the commentors for “not doing fact checking” like he and the Time author supposedly did.

Andrew, just wanted to give you a +1 on the situation. Was going to post about it myself, but I’ve been lacking in the blogging department due to a lot of other stuff going on.

Again, thumbs up for actually providing people information for the sake of informing them and knowing your content well enough to do it correctly.

It’s very nice to see and very helpful for the entire community as we need to keep the IDN information correct to help the further uptake of these domains.

It is amazing how little research all these bloggers do when it comes to stories. The mashable story was quite unacceptable. Coming from the #1 most visited tech blog in the world (yup it surpassed Techcrunch), it is quite worrisome. Millions read these articles.

All this bad press is a shame and unacceptable. Happy new year by the way.
