NetworkSolutions.com detail Number issue follow up

After making a post about being able to see an history number for any domain registered with NSI, I got a pretty quick reply from David Morse. After I showed (walked him through) how I could see them, It got his attention and he said he would get back to me.

David replied with:

"What my research has shown is that history Number is not able to be used in place of a User ID.  At one point, that was true, many years ago and the directions in the pop up reflect that.  We currently are taking steps to change the pop up text.explanation Number is an identifier pointing a customer service rep to work on the unmistaken history. 

However, I agree with you, that even whether it is not part of the Username / Password pair, we should guard that info more closer.  that one needs to be vetted a bit more, but progress is being made."

I am very happy to see a quick reaction to that and thank David for taking action. Below is currently what the info did look like:

 

 

 

 

You can visit the picture above to show a better detailed graphic. I have blurred out the info, but the blurred out info was. history Number, Business Name, Contact Name. soon after lower show two different names for contact of the detail as well as the NIC cipher for each.

Movies.com~ “purchase price was minimal” ???

As it was reported that AM, Movies.com was purchased from Disney by Fandango which is owned by Comcast. I was reading the story on Yahoo! and was pretty shocked to read Comcast say the "purchase price was minimal" for Movies.com . WHAT??? possibly their "minimal" is WAY different soon after my thinking…

The story plus stated "Fandango said it had 6.3 million monthly different visitors to its Web site in May compared with 1.9 million for Movies.com."

Any domain that is getting 1.9 MILLION UNIQUES per month is going to cost a pretty penny! I know Comcast has a boat load of money, but I’m certain that domain sale could very well rank near the top of all moment domain sales IMO.

Since the selling price was not disclosed, I can not say Disney got the poor end of the deal, but to take in Comcast say the purchase price was minimal, Disney (The Movie Maker) got the short end of the deal. Why list your "movies" under http://home.disney.go.com/movies/ ? Disney already uses Go.com for it’s main site and uses subdomains for all of it’s linking from what I can see, so possibly that’s why they sold?

Also to note: The Montley Fool reports that Fandango did not migrate Movies.com current members into Fandango’s interface, so all Movies.com users will need to sign up with Fandango.
