There have been a couple of complaints this past week about the most popular feed in the domaining industry, Domaining.com. The complaints had to do with a donation button being added to the website along with more technology-related feeds being added. The outrage that have been expressed about these “problems” are absolutely absurd and need [...]

As I was reading an interesting post on ElliotsBlog.com earlier today, it made me think about the lack of creativity we’re seeing in the domaining industry. Domainers see 5 or 6 figure sales, and immediately register variations of those domains. And the truth of the matter is the people who do that are cowards. It [...]

As I was doing some grocery shopping at Jewel Osco (a midwest grocery store chain) with my family for Thanksgiving, a manager came over to me and asked me if I was finding everything okay. It’s getting to be quite a hectic week around the house because we are entertaining the whole family here in [...]

Well, it’s a cold night here in Chicago, and probably an even colder night for Chicagoans with eBay auctions ending tonight. While searching eBay for domain names, I noticed that there were 0 search results. At first, I figured it was simply a glitch for that specific keyword (“domain names”), but I decided to side [...]

If you haven’t read yesterday’s Part I article, I recommend you read it now. Once your done, you might as well read this one, because I’m about to call out a fellow domainer: Rick Schwartz. Yup, once again he has made his way into the posts of DNU. And once again, it’s not a good [...]

However, if you are just [...]

Announced earlier today on Adage.com, despite the potential Microsoft Bing and Yahoo merger, Yahoo is taking a defensive approach by continuing to compete with both Microsoft Bing and Google. Keeping in mind that the merger of Microsoft Bing and Yahoo would take between 18 and 24 months to complete and may or may not happen, [...]

As we all remember, Toys.com sold for $5,100,000 back in March. Being in the domain industry, I am someone who understands dictionary word domain names can be worth a lot of money, especially very generic ones such as Toys.com. But the more I think about this sale, the more I wonder whether a domain, even [...]

According to California-based company Verisign, domain registrations have gone up 9% since last year. There are now over 184 million domain names registered. Not only are domain registrations up, but traffic on the internet is up 29% since the beginning of the year. When I saw these numbers, I was pretty surprised. Being a domainer, [...]

When I had first heard about Bing, I figured it was Microsoft’s helpless attempt to revamp their MSN search in order to beat out Google. As I learnd more about Bing and began using it more often, I learned my original assumption was wrong. Bing has so much more to offer, from booking travel to [...]
