Ok, this is just a non-technical version of what @souterrain posted.
If I am the CEO of a local supermarket or a butchery, I don't need to know my domain registrar as they are not a major factor to my business. My website being down for 1 week also might not make a big difference. My customers deal with my company face to face.
But if I am a CEO of an "Internet company" and my customers deal with me via my "domain", I damn well ensure that I have a weekly quick call with the guy who could block my domain abruptly.
Couple of things about Zoho that I don't understand.
- Why use the same domain for the free service, which is usually more prone to abuse?
- Zohocorp.com is hosted on GoDaddy. Why not move all your domains to a single company so that they value your business more and give you a better level of customer service?
I hope once this is all over, Zoho just shares their feedback and some advices that will help small businesses.
I’ll add another. Why do they use the same domain for both MX records? Why not use mx.zoho.com, mx.zoho.net so that if one domain gets busted at the registry level the backup MX still works?
> But in software you don't need to cut down trees or mine ore.
Lets not forget the dictators with child soldiers that use forced labour to mine the rare earth materials & the factories with nets to catch the workers that attempt suicide, which are a part of making computers & mobiles that is vital for software development. Also, where our old devices & batteries end up. Softwares do rack up a huge carbon foot-print.
I think a better way of putting is that the founders of these startups will cringe to share a public stage or at the very mention of one of the mentioned groups but will happily take their money.
Exactly, innovation is dead. Now its a bunch of remix artist that are trying to make a quick buck. Whatsapp is purposely going stale (what is the deal with only being able to sync with gdrive or icloud, what if I want to switch my OS, how to get my data out?) in the hopes that people will move to messenger like how Google just killed gtalk in the hope that customers will move to one their many messenger.
This is the case in hardware also. Every phone looks like an iphone & tablets are a larger phone, I miss the days when Nokia & Samsung used to release phones of various form factors.
What you are talking about is "echo chamber". By subscribing to a select few people who share your mind set, you only get messages from them and when that is all you see, you think that is general consensus and you dig in. What you see on a social media page is in no way a reflection of how the general population thinks.
I once saw the homepage of my colleagues facebook page and I was not sure if it was actually facebook. We did not even share a single post and all the news feed was a direct reflect on the person he was, which took me months of daily interaction to understand.
