The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) yesterday
approved a plan for pornographic Web sites to use new addresses that end
with ".xxx," something numerous groups and U.S. political leaders have
been seeking to try to prevent sexually explicit content from landing on
the screens of young Internet users.
ICANN, the nonprofit organization that oversees technical matters related
to the Internet, said it will begin negotiations with ICM Registry Inc. to
resolve commercial and technical issues associated with operating the .xxx
top-level domain (TLD).

The decision in favor of establishing a virtual red-light district for
providers of pornographic content and their customers represents a U-turn
for ICANN, which rejected ICM's first application for the .xxx TLD in
November 2000. Reasons for the objection are published in a document
available on ICANN's Web site.

Yahoo! introduced a new search tool, Mindset, which enables users to
search and to sort the search results on the basis of commercial or
informational value. The beta version, available as an online tool, allows
the users to view what they want unlike existing search tools that give
mega piles of unorganized information.

In Mindset, search queries can be adjusted by moving a slider located on
top of the search page, to the left or right to determine the nature of
results wanted -- commercial or informational.

It is significant that Yahoo! has quietly come out with this innovative
tool after the much-publicized personalized Google home page was launched
a couple of days back. Mindset is located on the Yahoo Research Labs' site
Yahoo Next.

The default setting of the slider shows results based on Yahoo's normal
listing, while moving it to the right will make the results arranged on an
informational basis and to the left on a commercial basis. Yahoo said
Mindset is based on machine learning process, which carries out the search
through algorithms developed so that the results are thrown on a
continuous scale raging from "very commercial" to "very non-commercial".
