Now that buying .XXX domain names is an option, universities are snapping them up in an effort to protect their brands. These universities include the University of Kansas, the University of Michigan, Indiana University, Purdue University, Ball State University, Grand Valley State University, Central Michigan University, Penn State University, University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, Indiana University, etc. None of these universities will be doing anything at all with the .XXX domain names.

A group of American universities have banded together to offer their campuses high speed computer networks beyond anything that is currently commercially available. The Gig.U project will offer one-gigabit connections to university campuses and their surrounding areas, which the project hopes will draw companies to the areas. The New York Times reports that in the test program in a small area near Case Western, three startups moved to the neighborhood within three months.

Categorized under ChaCha, Indiana University
Search engine, ChaCha and Big 10 Univesity, Indiana are collaborating to create a reference desk to connect students with search experts. Indiana University students and faculty will have access to resources provided by IU’s librarians and info-tech staff via ChaCha.
“We’re experimenting with some of the cool things we can do when we apply human intelligence to all that’s the best of the university’s Internet,” stated Scott Jones, a ChaCha co-founder and IU alumni (class of 1984). Founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos invested $6 million in ChaCha in January 2007.
ChaCha utilizes two types of search: instant and live guided. Instant search works just like a Google or Yahoo! where relevant web sites end up at the top of the search result pages. Live guided is the more innovative type of search created by Chacha where a real person (guide) will chat with you and understand what exactly you are looking for. ChaCha currently has about 30,000 guides.
