Cybersquatters sometimes register variants of popular trademarked names, a practice known as typosquatting.
Another strategy is as follows: Internet domain name registrations are for a fixed period of time. If the owner of a domain name doesn't re-register the name with an internet registrar prior to expiry, then the domain name can be purchased by anybody else after it expires.[1] At this point the registration is considered lapsed. A cybersquatter may use automated software tools to register the lapsed name the instant it is lapsed. This strategy is one of a family of identity theft schemes including renewal snatching, extension exaggeration and alert angling.

M. Miller on 06 May 12Social Design defines how we understand ourselves and each other and can be broken down into three core elements: Identity, Conversation and Community. Community refers to the people we know and trust and who help us make decisions. Conversation refers to the various interactions we have with our communities. Identity refers to our own sense of self and how we are seen by our communities. From our experience building Facebook and helping partner companies think about social design, we've put this document together to try to explain how we think about social design and some patterns and best practices we've observed.
