Being 'Khmerican​ized'

Originally published at http://khmr.cn/khmericanized


Dear Supporters of the Khmerican,

Recently, we acquired a new domain, khmr.cn. No, we are not moving to China as the domain suffix might allude. Instead, we are in the process of organizing a way for the world to view content exclusively related to Khmer America. We want to take this opportunity to explain how it works and share how you can be involved.

Khmr.cn will serve as your new 'shortcut to Khmer America.' The domain is our custom URL shortening hosted through bit.ly. In other words, it's a long strand URL converted to a new, much shorter easy-to-remember address. So when you see a khmr.cn, you know ahead that the content is specifically Khmer American.

So how does it work?

Effective immediately, all articles published by The Khmerican and third-party sources will become 'khmericanized.' In addition to news stories, individuals such as artists, politicians, and other public figures, along with organizations and businesses are subject to the new custom URL.

Now you might be wondering how that may effect you the domain owner. Well, absolutely nothing.

For example, our co-founder's personal website is phatryderekpan.com. We 'khmericanized' it to khmr.cn/p-d-p. When you click on this new custom URL, you will be automatically redirected to the website's domain, preserving 100% of the original address. In future updates, we intend to use the service to create a national online directory of sorts, for example, khmr.cn/artist/yournamehere.

We understand that this process will be tedious and selective. So meantime, we are going to begin compiling a shortlist of individuals, organizations, and businesses, that will be subject to the new URL change.

The service is for private use only. However, we hope to extend our brand to anyone interested in using it for commercial and non-commercial purposes. Alternatively, if you wish to secure your own custom khmr.cn with us now, inquire privately through email. All custom URLs are free of charge for a limited time and are available on a first come, first serve basis.

Sincerely,

Team Khmerican
