September 29th, 2007 by Bullshit MancusoDave Winer is dropping four of his domains that contain tech company trademarks:
Eye on Winer recently caught him squatting the name of a critic, an obnoxious stunt that inspired ValleyWag to call him a “crusty old web wanker.” (You’ll get no argument from us.)
The whois records for the domains show that Winer dropped them before they were set to expire. Did Google and Apple put the screws to him? Google’s attorneys have gone after hundreds of cybersquatters in domain name arbitration for using “google” in their names, winning every case.
