So the new Bido release is out, more inventory has started to flow through the system, however the sales ratio seems to have dropped slightly. While the new release is the foundation of Bido, by no means is it perfect, nor the final action on our part.

I was sent a super question today by a reader called Chris, who says he's relatively new to domaining.

As I was reading an interesting post on ElliotsBlog.com earlier today, it made me think about the lack of creativity we're seeing in the domaining industry. Domainers see 5 or 6 figure sales, and immediately register variations of those domains. And the truth of the matter is the people who do that are cowards. It

By not buying NexusOne.com, Google reinforces the power of Google search over direct navigation.

Yesterday, DnJournal.com reported the domain name sale of CookingGames.com for $350,000 . Anytime a domain name sells for a higher dollar amount and it's not a category killer type domain like Jets.com or Mouse.com etc., the price paid seems to be interesting to many and leaves a lot of people with questions.
In this case, DnJournal.com
