Former business executive Carly Fiorina speaks to guests gathered at the Point of Grace Church for the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition 2015 Spring Kickoff on April 25, 2015 in Waukee, Iowa.Scott Olson—Getty Images by [Sam Frizell](/author/sam-frizell/) ## Sam Frizell Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close May 4, 2015 2:21 PM CUT It should be the first commandment of 21st century politics: if you’re even _thinking_ about running for president, register all the domain names available to you. Carly Fiorina, who announced her presidential bid today, apparently didn’t heed that maxim. The webpage [CarlyFiorina.org](http://carlyfiorina.org/ "undefined") has been bought by a Fiorina critic, who has peppered it with 30,000 frown faces, each one representing an employee who was laid off when she served as CEO of Hewlett Packard. Entering the URL [CarlyFiorina.org](http://carlyfiorina.org/ "undefined") brings the user to this page: “Carly Fiorina failed to register this domain. So I’m using it to tell you how many people she laid off at Hewlett-Packard. It was this many: :( :( :(…” (And so on.) “That’s 30,000 people she laid off. People with families,” the anonymous author concludes. Fiorina, while a pioneering female executive, has been criticized for her tenure at the helm of Hewlett Packard, when thousands of employees were laid off. She was forced to resign in 2005, and went on to advise Republican John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign. So let it serve as a reminder to presidential candidates: register your domain names. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3845232/carly-fiorina-webpage-domain-name/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3845232/carly-fiorina-webpage-domain-name/"},"headline":"Carly Fiorina Can't Be Happy With CarlyFiorina.Org","datePublished":"2015-05-04T14:21:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T06:53:58.608Z","description":"The webpage hosts a decidedly unsupportive take on the GOP presidential contender","url":"https://time.com/3845232/carly-fiorina-webpage-domain-name/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic","Carly Fiorina"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdfbe5d5f312d8c2c/6987ee2fe53aba55134dba9e/471151976.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sam Frizell","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sam-frizell/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdfbe5d5f312d8c2c/6987ee2fe53aba55134dba9e/471151976.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Republicans Hopefuls Speak At Iowa Faith And Freedom Coalition","caption":"Republicans Hopefuls Speak At Iowa Faith And Freedom Coalition","creditText":"Scott Olson—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3845232/carly-fiorina-webpage-domain-name/","name":"Carly Fiorina Can't Be Happy With CarlyFiorina.Org"}}]}] ```
