Twitter has never been my best friend. Until recently. When Twitter originally became popular several years ago, I took it for a hype. A few weeks ago, I began my internship at a social media marketing firm downtown. I now spend 95% of my workday on Twitter and the other 5% slacking off. The main [...]

SamSilverman.com has been on my backorder list for approximately 2 years; and I presume it will stay there for a long time. SamSilverman.com was used by FullTiltPoker.com as a redirect domain name. I have been attempting to acquire the name for some time now. In recent news, FullTiltPoker.com was closed down by the FBI along [...]

Friday is an ordinary workday for most Americans. However, this past Friday was not just any friday – that is for the porn industry at least. At approximately 11:59 p.m., the first .XXX top-level domain went live. Porn.xxx and Sex.xxx are now up, working, and ready for the world to see. ICM, the company in [...]

Citibank brings hope to all in the domaining industry with a comment made earlier yesterday. When Citibank issued a Buy on Verisign stock (VRSN), many customers questioned Citibank’s opinion as a large number of investors see domains as a dieing field, or a field that is beginning to level off.

These numbers, however, are worthless if not given any meaning. What does a 24% increase in domain disputes represent? The [...]

Websites like Freelancer.com are booming. In the tough economy, business owners are hiring freelancers outside of the U.S. to do work for a fraction of the price a U.S. developer would charge. Over the past year, I have used Freelancer.com several times, and have had the chance to deal with a few different individuals and [...]

Demand Media, an internet-based content creator, filed an IPO registration last week on Friday. An IPO stands for an initial public offering. In other words, the company would like it offer its first stock offerings. They’re hoping to raise approximately $125 million in capital from the sale of stock. Known best for its eNom.com domain [...]

About 6 months ago, I requested information on dropshipping from Doba’s website. I thought the concept of dropshipping was interesting, so I figured why not find out more. 1 month ago, I received a call from Doba asking if I’d still be interested in dropshipping. Just as I remained respectful for that phone call, I [...]

AuctionPus.com is a relatively new domain auction website. When the site was put up about a month or two ago, the owners sent me an email requesting that I do a blog article on it. Normally, I don’t enjoy giving people free reviews. But I knew the owner and knew he wouldn’t be waisting my [...]
