ABS-CBNNEWS Domain Expired!!!!
Published by nonsensical on Sunday, August 3, 2008 at 7:31 AMEmployees of ABS-CBN Interactive must be scrambling now to renew abs-cbnnews.com which expired last Aug 2, 2008.

Ok, people. Don't let this happen to you. If you have a very valuable domain, make sure that renew it ahead of time. We don't know what went wrong with the domain. It could be a mistake from someone in ABS-CBN Interactive. It's such a big mistake that heads will surely roll.

At least, their main site - WWW.ABS-CBN.COM -- is still working. But if you click on the News menu, the following will appear...

In my opinion, abs-cbnnews.com is the most priced online property of ABS-CBN. It's one of my two most visited site. The other one being inquirer.net (which is too heavy to load due to enormous amount of ads).
