There's a reason why the US Navy recruiting office's motto is "Let the journey begin". The seemingly vague and non-restrictive phrase was meant to match that of the US Army's apparently restrictive line – "Be all you can be".
But was "Be all you can be" – the motto of the US Army recruiting office for...
Earlier today, with our monthly newsletter, we ran a Twitter contest. Above are the ten lucky winners. From our newsletter:

Quick news updates before the weekend.
It's the Friday before Halloween and there's a lot of domain news to report. I'll be taking off early today to go to my daughter's Halloween school carnival (she's dressing up as a Flamingo), so here's a condensed version of all the news that's fit to print.
IDN TLDs are...
Join the brainstorming fun and help me out. What don't you like about the existing domaining forums? Too much noise? What would you like me to do differently? What about the launch, any suggestions? Maybe a contest with HUGE prizes (three winners, $5,000/$3,000/$2,000 and then lots of other stuff)?
Just let your imagination run wild. I
I tried visiting Snapnames.com several times this morning and I was getting a server error and the page would not load. I just tried again and now get a screen from Oversee.net that states SnapNames is down for Scheduled Maintenance.
If this really is "Scheduled Maintenance", the person who scheduled is should be Fired! Who runs
I saw a thread that was rekindled on DomainState that I hadn't looked at in a number of months. Recent comments seem to indicate that some people believe geodomain values are significantly diminished. For the purposes of this article, I am going to refer strictly to city/state/country/region .com domain names only.
Yes, I believe the value

Morning Folks! Oh, so goooood to be home! Yesterday closed a chapter in history that has consumed the last 5 years of my life in a way few will ever know. When I think back to the winters before as I prepared for the inevitable. As I have shared many times at the show, the last time I was on a stage and spoke I was 13 at my Bar Mitzvah. 40 years la...

Frank was saying in Nov 2007 what Rick Sanchez just told us at T.R.A.F.F.I.C and is living proof of.excerpt: “???New advertising formats, such as mobile devices, the Internet, in-game ads and interactive TV promotions, are expected to grow at a rate of 22.4 per cent between 2006 and 2010, the report says. Broadcasters must make a series of “no-regr...
I hear people talk all the time about people that just do not get this or that, and in many cases? it is because no one has taken the time to actually present to them the value of the product or item they are expecting them to get it on. Normally, if you really have

Unless you've been living under a rock you know that MiniSites have been a big topic of discussion in the Domaining world for the last few weeks. While some have claimed that the MiniSite is dead others have claimed it is still alive and strong with plenty of profit in the business of MiniSite creation.
There are tons and tons of Domain names auctioned everyday. When you want your Domain name to be auctioned, it is highly important to make sure your Domain name auction stands out of the rest. This will ensure it gets maximum coverage and hence the maximum price.
I have already touched this in my previous post.
Everyone knows of Icanhazcheezeburger.com and failblog.org. What many people don't know is that Ben Huh the face of these sites and the Pet Holdings Inc, is not the founder .? He bought them.? He loved the sites and got funding to buy them.? After the purchase, he has since used the traffic to build 20+
It's fantastic when big organisations talk about domain names! The BBC has the article in the main section of their news today about the forthcoming changes to allow IDNs in non-latin script. Instead of using ‘domain names' in the title, to help those unfamiliar with the domains and our industry, they use the term ‘internet...
1.? Domainer Mardi Gras 2010
This conference has me written all over it.? Domaining, bourbon street, drinks and the infamous beads.? What more could you want from a conference about the domaining industry?? New Orleans is a great place to enjoy yourself.
I consider this to be a domaining conference / vacation.? Domainer Mardi Gras takes place
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year, in celebration of this I asked my artist to draw a Happy Halloween message.? He said that it's the "cool cat" in the hat. When I received the image in my email I had to laugh as it caught me off guard.
