damn, someone registered it via domainplaza.ca but I see that is namescout and they use pool.com for their backordering so how the fuck did he get it? . I had my order in at pool.com but it shows some guy in Newark,DE as the new owner.

imagine what people said 5 years ago... all I know is they won't be cheaper. plus all the new TLDs they've added (.info, .biz, .pro, .name, etc) haven't made a dent in .COM at all. so .COM will only rise, hopefully back to million dollar days. and if they ever approve .SEX or .XXX, maybe that TLD will be the one to watch.Originally posted by digi
hm, I wonder what the domain biz will be in like 5 years.. should be interesting. I dont own great ones but some I do like.Comment

if you're backordering at drop sites, the cut off time is 1-2PM EST. if you're domain was being deleted today, it has NOT dropped yet.Originally posted by monster310
what is the exact time the domains are release? Is it at 6 am or at 6:15 am ?Comment

Good point. For all we know, the Internet as we know it might not even exist anymore in 5 years.Originally posted by nametower
won't be cheaper.
but they could be non existant :p
Technology moves so fast you really don't know.
For my sake, I hope not!

The internet will last longer than any of us here. Even when the Govt launches SecureNET and Nexternet/Internet2, we'll still use domains to navigate. the Internet will evolve, but not die. in 5 years the only domains that may be left to register will be like this:
www.hdsjahdjashsnjdj23kdjskjdkasjdak43094.com

but in case the domain market dies, be sure to diversify OFFLINE. if you need opportunities/ideas for businesses, drop me a line. It won't be inexpensive ($10k-$150K+), but you have to diversify, just in case. especially if an event similar to 9-Eleven happens again and targets the web, most people willl be lost and have no backup plan and no revenue stream. but I'm not going to discuss all this mumbojumbo and jinx myself. nuff said.Comment

Hey Taboo, I really like your concept for Official.
Also-
Could you enlighten me as to why some people bid up the domain before the domain even drops?Comment

re: drops
LOL. I have no idea, except to scare away competition. still does not work because as low as $10-$60 will buy you in elsewhere. back in the day, I use to call pool and beg them to try "harder" to get a domain and I'd offer to pay $X whether or not someone else bid on it. not sure if they ever did listen to me
but I got some "ok" domains thru them.

I only picked brandslams.com, which I am going to use for my own purposes.
Gotta bid on a few here the next couple of days.
One of the best things about looking over lists of domain names are all of the ideas you get for similar domain names.
In looking over those lists I have gotten ideas for several good domains and some of them were not even registered when I checked.Last edited by monster310; 08-18-2004, 03:08 PM.Comment

nice.
and you are so right about every domain on the list leading to new ones. also new businesses you never thought about getting into. but sooner or later, if you don't take a break, you zone out because they all start looking the same.
i miss going thru the list, but I do not miss playing catch up if I missed a day. worst feeling in the world is finding a name you wanted to backorder AFTER the 1 or 2 o'clock drop deadline.

Taboo, I read the entire post, impressive and incisive to say the least. Thanks to you, i picked up a few delightful pda and sms names, even a one word dictionary domain that rocked my world and a single word woman's name as well.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.Comment

Quick question... do you think more or less google results for a two word domain is best?
eg...
less results = more targeted to consumers?
more results = more [false?] appeal to domain buyers?
I registered a .com that has two words that fit together as a common real estate phrase. There are 321,000 results in google and the first few pages all refer to its intended usage.Comment

PRD.com would have been great, theres a company in Au. called PRD Nationwide. prd.com.au - they're a realestate biz that probably wouldn't have international IP rights on the name.Comment
