What a difference a year makes. The domain name was still active around this same time last year. This year I found out that the domain had been taken offline and is now available for sale. It appears that the owners finally realized that doubling on the name director, but not changing the site content was working against their business. Their best option was to stick to just one domain name. It saved them the bother of having to defend their company from the negative image c it really cannot seem to overcome on both sides. I am just wondering what their reasons were for keeping a Philippine based url rather than the more general and less identifiable second url. I would have used the second one instead as it has a more general reference, even if it is still regional in identity.
