Judging a year by the events and results within it will do no justice, as many correspondent events will only manifest in the future, at times, many years afterward. The tech bubble of 2001 brought many prosperous years to many, possibly even to you. There's no doubt 2008 was a an extremely historical year. From an African American president to the...
New Year's Eve. I was looking back over the successes and failures of 2008 this morning and am delighted to say that there were far more positives than negatives.Where I did fail was right at the start of the year - I said I'd launch 3 new sites. They kind of launched, but they weren't right.One of the three that was more right than wrong is http:/...

Sedo had the most overall chart entries sweeping 12 of the 20 positions.

I just saw a story on TechCrunch reporting that AT&T's YellowPages have purchased the domain name YP.com from the company LiveDeal for a massive $3.85 Million - also confirmed by an SEC filing.
It's interesting to also note that the publicly listed company's (LiveDeal's) market cap is at just over double that amount ($8.53M).
In any case, nice...

Chris Dannen of FastCompany blogged his thoughts on the pending release of new TLDs . Dannen feels that the release of the new domain extension will spur a rebirth of cybersquatting.? Too bad Dannen, like many others, has bought in to the idea that cybersquatting equals buying and selling domain names or merely owning more

"Sorely misguided" complainant loses bid for Fired.com.

Many web developers, designers and now domainers are flocking like an army of little blue birds to Twitter, a social status service that allows you to share what you are doing in 140 characters or less.

I have done several posts on this in the past. All have shown that 80% + have always been owned by Afternic aka BuyDomains aka RareNames aka NameMedia.

As all my readers know, I am very open in sharing things that work for me. Things that didn't work for me and I do not hold back when calling out something that I do not think is right.

Slang is used quite extensively by all of us every day. Similarly slang is used in Google searches and type-in traffic but is highly variable depending on the popularity of the term.

With the year ending, I wanted to end the year on a positive note. I am so happy that I have the opportunity to share this story with you.
