UKNM: The Express

[Tim Ireland]

As you may have guessed, there was a reason for my OK! query earlier. Nosey

chap that I am, I was wondering just what was going on with Express-related

sites under new owner Richard Desmond.


The recent (?) launch of www.ok.co.uk confused me, as there was a lot of

smoke around, suggesting his plans for web-based operations were stringent

to say the least.


So, the axe officially falls:


ARTICLE: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/13/15497.html

CORPSE 1: www.sportlive.net

CORPSE 2: www.express.co.uk


And the questions begin:

- What makes OK! so different?

- Does Mr Desmond actually have plans for the Internet?

- Just how much of it do you think is going to be along megastar.co.uk

lines?

- If so, how aware/disappointed is he that the domain names asianbabes.com

and .co.uk are already taken?

- Not to mention realwives.co.uk, bigones.co.uk, realwives.co.uk and

amateurvideo.co.uk?

- How soon is it before Mr Desmond finds out what ICANN stands for?
