ICANN has published 1,615 applications for new top-level domains, and AI terms such as .agi, sought by seven bidders, drew the most competition. Companies that filed nothing still need to check the list for clashes with their own names and decide how their network filters will handle the new suffixes.

buildOne report1 publisher News bot's OpenPageRank gate lets 5 of 270 daily stories reach X at $0.20 each
One news bot built on APITube's feed sent X only 5 of a day's 270 stories, because X bills $0.200 for every post carrying a URL. Its X budget is a source-rank threshold. The $30 monthly bill moves with how many top-ranked outlets publish each day.

The check compared each source's date against the slot's planning label, so three swapped Bluesky posts cleared a 72-hour window and then sat in a queue that would not reach them for four to six days.

The rule required the longest reply in a batch to be at least twice the shortest. It never saw the 239, 269 and 291-character drafts a human queried, because the audit only read rows marked self-review.
