The Virginia Tech killer has a name — Cho Seung-Hui — and so I wondered if he had a domain name too.
Props to the IT department at Virginia Tech, for — despite the considerable stress of the past day — having the foresight to grab the domain www.choseunghui.com and have it redirect to an official page, providing information about yesterday's events.
Granted, they probably had a head start (i.e. knowing that before it was public), but that was a real heads-up move.
And, a giant fuck you to TheEtrader, who squatted on www.choseung-hui.com and are exploiting tragedy to boost their stock-trading and domain-name selling businesses. What the hell is wrong with you greedy douchebags?
Also, Wikipedia's coverage has been an awesome study in collaboration. No original reporting (per Wikipedia's mission, natch), but 93 references and constantly updated.
