What's the oldest active domain on the Internet?
What was the first registered domain?
What's the oldest active link?
What other old web stuff can you think of?

And this is what I see on the oldest domain in the world: http://symbolics.com/ ???
I hate what internet has become.

Here's a back story on the oldest Networked email: http://openmap.bbn.com/~tomlinso/ray/firstemailframe.html
According to Wikipedia and itself, http://symbolics.com/ was the first registered .com domain name and is still active.
Someone could argue that the oldest active link is a telegraph line that's still hung and running somewhere, but DNS in general would be a better, and more precise still the invention of HTML during 1990-93 with anchors.

What's on your ultimate online marketing wish list?
Hi everyone! I'm one of Distilled's new online marketing analysts and will be writing my first blog post for them right before Christmas! I'm thinking about writing a post that combines the holiday spirit with what we all wish Google would give us. So fine people of Moz Q&A, tell me, if you could have anything from Google, no matter how ridiculous, what would it be and why? Any great quotes may even be featured in the blog post itself and attributed to you! Thanks everyone and happy Friday!

When will Rand put out "Art of SEO 2nd Edition"? (ANSWER: IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS)
First edition was printed in the end of 2009. Great Book. Needs updating of course. I would buy the next edition if it was updated in an awesome way that I know Rand and the others would do.

SEO hosting (EU/Spanish IP's) any1?
Hello all, I'm currently trying to find a great hosting company which can offer a fast and stable service and more important, with the possibility of geolocalizing IP's of Europe and concretely for Spain. I've found Ixwebhosting but they only offer US Ip's, as their datacenters are there. I don't know if it's the same thing outside spain, but here the hosting companies only use to have a single "C-class" range so even buying them different IP's doesn't help that much, and it isn't cheap (2€/month/ip...). So if you know someone offering what I'm looking for (or really close to it) drop a line, I'll appreciate your help! 🙂
