Royal Pingdom has put together a list of top ten places with designated country code Top-Level Domains that are barely inhabited. The list starts off with ‘.hm’ for Heard and McDonald Islands, an Australlian territory, with zero population. Others include ‘.pn’ for Pitcairn Islands (Population: 50), ‘.tf’ for French Southern and Antarctic Lands (Population: 140), ‘.cc’ for Cocos (Keeling) Islands (Population: 596) and ‘.va’ for the Vatican City (Population: 826).

Fluff Content Eric Brunner-Williams – Feb 3, 2010 2:28 PM

Dear intrepid CircleID Reporter,

Please don’t post fluff. If you want to run stories for a paying customer (paid media), please do, it is your blog after all. If you want keep running earned media, people with earned media have to want to have it posted in your blog, and don’t want to have earned media (accomplishments that matter) confused with paid media (accomplishments that don’t matter very much).

Confusing a name space with a demographic is unfortunate. Identifiers arise in the minds of people naming tangible and intangible resources, and a vast number of people are engaged in the naming, and management, of resources, in Antarctica, the High Arctic, Earth Orbital Space, the Seas, and so on.

Cheers,
Eric
