For all the money spent to put together a network TV show, you would think someone would have the sense to hire a branding company.

Site gives domainers chance to rate domain name parking companies.

For the risk takers out there, Microsoft has released the beta ISO of its new operating system–Windows 7. Users can now download Windows 7 Beta directly from Microsoft, so I highly don't recommend using any of the other shady websites that are hosting it on their servers.

It was announced earlier today that Carol Bartz is going to be the CEO successor of Jerry Yang at Yahoo. I've definitely heard of Carol Bartz before, but never in "detail", so obviously something as large as this would spark me to do some research on her. I've originally known her as the CEO for
With domaining,? a lot of people assume that their "online business" is going to get better and better and that in the future they'll actually be making more than what they are making right now.

Last night I had another learning experience on Namecake. Apparently anything I enter on my site is by default being sent as new content to the feeds.
So adding domains I had previously forgotten to list has caused my site to send about 40 messages to the news aggregation services out there that republish the articles I post.
SSIC.com @ $6,650 as we post this - SnapNames list is quite impressive these days with Tuition.com, cif.com (200+ bidders), MakeMillions.com (at least we all hope), GovernmentJobs.org (best extension for this in our opinion) and more.
