[kictanet] [Skunkworks] True patriotism and Presidential candidates websites

[Dennis Kioko]

You will find that other than Martha Karua's site, .co.ke domains exist for
the other sites, though it isn't clear if it is domain squatting (the Raila
one is clear domain squatting).

When choosing a domain name, it's often prudent to buy alternative
spellings and also common misspellings. Good examples are gogle.com and
facbook.com. For large corporates, it becomes costly, since you have to buy
 domains in as many countries as you can. ie apple.com, apple.co.ke and
apple.co.ug
