Yes, I know - it's a Friday Funny on a Tuesday; but I haven't done one lately and some people are having severe withdrawal symptoms.
This one is about Facebook's introduction of usernames this past Saturday; in case you were under the proverbial rock and missed the entire event, which is surrounded by plenty of controversy.
It came as no surprise to me this morning when I received a call from somebody claiming to be from Goggle division of some company I forget the name of.
If I hadn't been alert, it would have sounded just like he was calling from Google, which was the intention.
Telesales people used to this all the

I am the person that took the Facebook vanity name ProBlogger. For those that are not aware, ProBlogger is a term used by the highly popular blogger Darren Rowse.
The big question on Twitter and Facebook seems to be why did I take that vanity name? The consensus is that Darren deserves this address because of

Company upgrades to intuitive domain name.
At Mike Mann's party yesterday I met serial entrepreneur Clarence Wooten, Jr., CEO of CollectiveX. When I first met him, my natural question was "what the heck is CollectiveX". Wooten explained that it was a social platform for groups, which makes perfect sense. But the name didn't...
Epik could provide compelling domain monetization strategy — and may spur more direct navigation.
When Rob Monster announced he was closing his venture capital shop, he wrote that he was working on a new company that could change domaining:
We are building a Web 3.0 platform that will be among the first to drive a network effect
Five registrars terminated for financial reasons.
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has sent termination notices to five domain name registrars for failure to pay fees. Of the five to be de-accredited, only one has registered domains under management: Maxim Internet Inc.
ICANN is seeking a registrar to take over about 5,000 domai...
I was reading this article around TheInternetCompany, selling the domain name ?wealth.com? at a private auction run by Sedo. They want 2.9M and the VP was quoted as saying "we believe that now is the right time to monetize this asset and that an auction, rather than a traditional sale, is the best strategy".
For the
As a domain name investor, I want to buy low and sell high! I guess this is also the reason why I never purchase domain names during "Hype" style auctions when the majority of the domains carry a reserve anyway. This takes the factor of "getting a deal" out of the picture from the start
I may be a little bias to one of the best tag lines I have seen used for a GEO domain name in advertising that I have seen lately (I live in Wisconsin, which borders Michigan). It's so simple, yet so strong and being attached to a great domain name makes it even all that
Popularity can be a good thing, but it also has its downside as well. Celebrities may have screaming fans and may get that special treatment here, there and everywhere, but it is no pleasure when their private lives are laid bare open for all to see in the press.
Well the same thing happens with having
I am lucky to have found a great graphic designer who has helped me with a number of projects over the last year and a half. I initially found Mike after holding a logo design contest at 99Designs (formerly part of Sitepoint). I wrote a creative brief, added a cash award for the winner, and

Like I did with TobagoVacations.com, I am offering ItalyHoliday.com up for sale before I begin developing it. Although we in the US are more inclined to say "Italy Vacation," elsewhere in the world, a Holiday is a Vacation, and many people search for a great Italy holiday when they want to visit Italy. If ItalyHoliday.com

Good Afternoon Folks!! Just a heads up to let you know that tomorrow morning I will post a major announcement that will be sure to be the topic of conversation for days to come. I am in the midst of writing that post and believe this will help grow the industry in a profound way at a pivotal point in time. Stay Tuned! Have a GREAT Day! Rick Schwart...
It is happening to me. I used to think stuff like this was unthinkable. I have a domain name which has to do with Classified service in a particular country. Recently I started getting some unusual traffic from this domain. Nothing spectacular but more than usual. At this same time I received a $5 offer
We often call out Madison Avenue for not understanding the importance of matching a great domain with a natural product, so when we see a perfect match, we have to give props.
KGB.com a great domain due to it being the same 3 letters of the former Soviet Union's spy agency, the equivalent to the CIA.

ICM Registry?s top-level domain .XXX proposal is going to arbitration in Washington in late September.
ICM Registry is asking for a three-judge panel to rule in favor of its application to serve as .XXX registry operator because it met criteria set forth in a December 2003 request for proposal.
