Carly Fiorina has a domain name problem. When she bought CarlyFiorina.com, the Republican presidential candidate failed to register the .org variant, and the work of a digital prankster who did buy the domain has almost received more attention than the rest of Fiorina's nascent campaign.
In an attempt to own the domain-name narrative, Fiorina's camp has struck back with #DomainGate, which is essentially a plan to buy up other should-have-been-reserved domains and set them up as redirects to Fiorina's site.
To date, Fiorina has claimed ChuckTodd.org and SethMeyers.org after appearing on each man's show. So, fair warning to TV hosts: Get your tech house in order before you interview Carly Fiorina.
