01 All about twitter, facebook, streaming video, periscope and meerkats
I discovered meerkats when working on the next Facebook upadate. The rumor mill is buzzing about Facebook buying "Meerkat". I had to take a look. So, what is a meerkat again? According to Wikipedia, the meerkat or suricate (Suricata suricatta) is a small carnivoran belonging to the mongoose family. And, don't even ask me about the weasel and the woodpecker . . . Ooooooo-kaaaay, where is this going?

10 Footnote : cybercrime fighters around the world making a difference
Some of you may still be following our anti-spam and safe netting
efforts since the mid 1990s without a single thank-you from anyone.
Today, it is with a certain amount of pleasure we point you towards
the U.S Trade Representative report on Notorious Markets.
For the first time this report singles out ICANN registrars who are
sponsoring sites involved in illicit traffic. Most notably on page 16
the footnote mentions BizCn for voluntarily reducing its illicit
footprint. BizCn has been at the source of controversy for some time
with us as many of you know.

Notorious Markets Lis : The Notorious Markets List identifies selected
markets, including those on the Internet, that exemplify the problem
of marketplaces dealing in infringing goods and helping to sustain
global piracy and counterfeiting.
