Meet the man who owns his own piece of the internet
Richard Li, owner of the top-level domain .richardli

While most are willing to settle for their name under a dot-com (he also owns richardli.com) Mr Li has used the opening up of the internet's namespace to register himself as a top-level domain, and this week it was officially added to the internet's global address book.

On the plus side, Mr Li will now be able to create hundreds or even millions of domain names featuring his name and potentially host a website on each: home.richardli, or work.richardli.
