			<description><![CDATA[If you're interested in learning more about Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), UNESCO and EURid recently released a report on the evolution and challenges of IDNs. It's a good read and it highlights some of the struggles that countries and registries face and taking IDNs mainstream. Though Russia has so far proven to be a major success story - with more than 800,000 IDN registrations so far (and counting) - most other IDNs are have a long ways to go yet. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110606_india_one_country_many_internationalized_domain_names">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title> The Dangers of Building a Brand on a Tenuous Country Code (Featured Blog)</title>

			<description><![CDATA[About two years ago I wrote with concern about Bit.ly's use of Libya's country code. I noted that It's always important to keep in mind that a company can't "own" a domain the way it owns real estate. Now it appears that companies that have built brand names on Libya's country code are facing difficult times. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20110404_dangers_of_building_a_brand_on_a_tenuous_country_code">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This visual depicts about half of the currently approved internationalized domain names (IDNs), positioned over their respective regions. Notice the wide range of scripts over India and the wide range of Arabic domains. I left off the Latin country code equivalents (in, cn, th, sa, etc.) to illustrate what the Internet is going to look like (at a very high level) in the years ahead. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20101118_the_next_internet_revolution_will_not_be_in_english">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tech pundit John Gruber threw in the towel on his domain ✪df.ws. He writes: "What I didn't foresee was the tremendous amount of software out there that does not properly parse non-ASCII characters in URLs, particularly IDN domain names." <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/gruber_gives_up_on_his_idn">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A few weeks back I asked Where is China's IDN? ICANN not only answered my question about China, but also about a host of additional countries (and territory) that had applied for fast-track IDNs. Here are the most recent IDN (string evaluation) approvals... <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20100404_icann_approves_idns_for_china_taiwan_thailand_sri_lanka">More...</a>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090818_chinese_domain_name_bubble_bursts</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Nearly one year ago, I asked Will .CN become the next .COM? And perhaps I was right in more ways than one. Because now it appears that .CN is experiencing its very own .COM bust. Just a year ago Chinese domain registrations were booming, so quickly in fact that .CN had surpassed .DE to become the most-registered ccTLD. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090818_chinese_domain_name_bubble_bursts">More...</a>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090520_twitter_and_web_globalization</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ICANN recently launched its own Twitter feed. And since ICANN is a global organization, it launched more than one language feed -- one in English and one in Spanish... This is not the most scalable solution. And I'm not trying to pick on Twitter; the issue effects any multinational company or organization. For instance, let's say ICANN launches a Portuguese feed for Brazil. The address would have to read twitter.com/icann_pt_br. Similar challenges arise with French... <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090520_twitter_and_web_globalization">More...</a>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090229_per_capita_netherlands_domain_leader</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The Netherlands, a country with just 16 million people, accounts for more than 3 million ccTLDs. That's an impressive ratio of people to domains -- one ccTLD per 5.3 people -- and it the highest ratio of any country with more than five million residents. Germany comes in a close second, with a ratio of roughly one ccTLD per 6.5 people... <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090229_per_capita_netherlands_domain_leader">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I recently came across a chart of the most popular top-level domains (TLDs), compiled by <a href="http://www.domainesinfo.fr/statistiques.php">Stephane Van Gelder</a>. Although I keep track of country code TLD registrations for the <a href="http://bytelevel.com/map/ccTLD.html">Country Codes of the World</a> map (see also <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/710110_cctld_map_country_code_top_level_domains/">related CircleID post</a>), Stephane tracks all domains, including .com, .net., etc. And when I saw it I got to thinking... <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/88203_will_cn_become_the_new_com">More...</a>]]></description>
