Is something weird happening with Facebook?
facebook.co.in
facebook.co.in
- Where did you get that link from?
- Why do you think that URL is officially (or in any way) associated with Facebook? (other than the name, of course)
.co.in is the .com equivalent of India; and Facebook should have bought it long ago if it has any decent domain strategy (heck MSFT even tried to get mikerowsoft.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_vs._MikeRoweSoft).
I guess my thinking is that if I went to a domain that I had never visited before and got that Apache index page, I would assume that I had done something wrong (mis-typed the domain, used the wrong domain, etc) rather than assuming that I was right and Facebook was weird. This is also why I asked where the link came from. Had l0nwlf visited that same link before and it worked? Was it in an email? etc.
This isn't a judgement or anything of the poster (and I hope that it doesn't come off that way), just an explanation of my reaction and thought process here.
Presumably, some shadowy figure in a trenchcoat met him at 3am on a Tuesday behind a warehouse on the docks, and handed him a cocktail napkin. l0nwlf glanced down at the napkin, saw "facebook.co.in" scrawled in coal black ink. He turned his head upward to ask what this was, but the man had vanished. (That's just what I assumed).
Facebook owns facebook.in, it was common sense that they own facebook.co.in too. I in fact assumed it. Now I know they do not own it.
