We’ve all heard the recent outrage at Goldman Sachs for giving their employees a total of $16.2 billion in salaries and bonuses. President Barack Obama is mortified that the company would give such a large sum of bonuses after the government bailed them out last year. For any domainers who are also outraged about the [...]

Over the past week or two, I’ve noticed something about the domaining community that I hadn’t before. To put it simply, we’re a tight, connected community.
