Liuzhou.con

posted Sunday, 7 May 2006
To my great surprise, while pottering around the internet this morning I come upon this website.

Liuzhou.com

Several years, ago when I decided to start my website, I wanted this domain name. However, it had been bought up by a company in Texas who sat on it for years without using it. I settled for www.liuzhou.co.uk.

"So," I wonder, "What useful information have they spent five years compiling? What info can I glean about Liuzhou?"

I am feeling a little peckish, so I click on restaurants. I am taken to a list of restaurants in exotic locations all across the globe from Ireland to Boston via Thailand. Everywhere except Liuzhou.

The list also includes a link to a site offering me the opportunity to earn $8273 per week sending emails. That hardly seems enough to survive on when all the Liuzhou restaurants seem to be located all over the planet, so I click on 'jobs'. Now I can see lots of links to jobs in New Zealand and Australia.

In fact, there is not a single piece of information on Liuzhou anywhere on this site. The entire site consists of irrelevent advertising. A form of spam.

For a real resource for Liuzhou, go to www.liuzhou.co.uk.

Yes, what a waste of a good name.
