IE upgrade jams domain name deal | |
|

A new feature in Internet Explorer 6 is driving over a deal between Microsoft-backed RealNames and domain name company XTNS, cutting off traffic headed toward their services. Microsoft tinkered with the browser settings in an IE upgrade last month, capitalizing on misspelled or nonexistent domain names typed into the address bar by diverting people to an MSN Search page. But much of that traffic is supposed to travel through XTNS, which directs someone entering a nearly correct Web address, such as "ibm.co," to the page most likely intended. The new IE feature also catches simplified addresses such as "store.disney" or "movie.gladiator" or "corp.ibm"--all for sale as "namespaces" through XTNS' deal with RealNames. | ||
