And Walt Mossberg launch AllThingsD successor on a .net domain — Kara Swisher

And Walt Mossberg launch AllThingsD successor on a .net domain — Kara Swisher

Fresh tech publication Re/code purchases and launches on a .net domain name.

Re/CodeTech journalists Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg have shut down AllThingsD following their contract with NewsCorp/Wall Street Journal concluded without a fresh deal. With backing from NBCUniversal and Windsor Media, they’ve launched the successor to AllThingsD on a .net domain: Recode.net.

It appears the duo may have bought the domain name from NameMedia last month. In fact, the whois record still shows BuyDomains.com as the owner.

The Recode.com domain name was obviously taken, and buying it would have been a challenge since it’s in use by an end user. Nero Software, which sells video converter software called Recode, owns the domain name. Oddly, Nero doesn’t forward the domain name to the page on its site specific to the software.
