I didn't realize that WHOIS was being retired. Went to investigate a domain name and got a notice that I need to use RDAP.

@jeremiah@tldr.nettime.org RDAP is a solution in search of a problem. It basically takes the plaintext WHOIS data and encapsulates it in a JSON-based web application. Great for cool points, automatic spamming, and not much else. 🙄
