I just spent a few days in Vegas at the TRAFFIC convention.. man that town will chew you up and spit you out if you let it.
The night I left town Josh sent me this link which focuses on an interesting observation.
While $4+ million worth of domain names just sold at the Las Vegas TRAFFIC [...]
It’s wonderful being back after an extended vacation break. I used to scoff at vacationing (vacations are for the weak), but I was amazed that those friends and colleagues who took longer absences around the holidays skated circles around my productivity around March and April of the next year.
I won’t bore you folks with [...]
Folks it’s time for me to recharge the batteries.. I’ll be leaving the blog today so that I have some time to wrap up a few left-over items.. then I take to the skies for my Christmas vacation.. I’ll try to upload some shots from the trip and stop in to post if anything major comes up [...]

***FS*** There are only 17,576 3 letters in .com .. This piece probably explains which a have gotten scores of spam sales offers for my three letter and 3 number domains over the past few days.
Google reduces the importance of sub domains in it’s ranking system.

This piece deserves to be set apart from the Linkfest.. Berkins has that “oh-my-gosh” moment and realizes how cheap domain names are when viewed against overpriced pieces of modern-art. Art hangs on a wall and costs you money.. Domains activate on the Web and “make you money”. To be fair.. the art market is [...]

***FS*** So right Danno.. these folks have done a terrific job with [...]

Nice list.. missing the founders of Domainstate.com and also I think Paul Sloan/ Josh Quitner (writer and former editor) of Business 2.0 should have made this list.. Their coverage of the disruptive technology embodied in the name-biz helped to shine the light on the industry for other ”legitimate web” participants to see – and their stories provided the [...]

Those trying to do good, caught doing bad? .. I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.. as reported on Rick’s blog. Let he who is without sin cast the first unsolicited email. I think Rick is chagrin that those who would label the domain space as uncouth, go ahead and themselves “do the [...]
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.. Insert your favorite related Mark Twain quote here..
Snoopy on domainstate.com is a pretty clever chap. He’s put together some info on how how particular domain extensions have performed over the last couple of years (in relation to 3 letter names). Interesting how the more [...]
