Who Are They? Now We Know! Readers Help Us Match Names With Industry Faces

July 29th, 2010

In my last Lowdown post I asked readers to help us identify some people in our massive industry photo archives that I did not have names for. I started the quest with a shot of two lovely ladies. As I expected, our readers came through like champs! En route to getting the IDs I needed I also had an interesting brush with ESP!

Who Are They? Help Match Unidentified Domainers With Their Photos

July 27th, 2010

Over the years I have taken thousands of photos of domainers at industry events around the world. I noticed in going through our massive photo archive recently that we have hundreds of photos of people whose names I don’t have. I would like to change that and hope you can help. Also today, more news on upcoming conferences.

Afternoon Folks!

Afternoon Folks!

Folks are DROWNING in Pigeon Shit. They can't pay the renewals, nobody wants them, wtf would you call it?? I am NOT riduculing anyone that has their domains and does not sit there and complain. My POINT is that if you have something that has proved worthless and nobody wants and you have no ideas for, it is OKAY to just let that baby go and focus on a bird that flies a little better. If folks take what I say personally without me namining a single domain name or single domainer's name then I guess they have indicted themsleves. If the shoe fits, they bought the damn store! 

That's amusing and sad at the same time. That is why most post anonymously.

Folks call me out without even putting their name on the post?? Then everyone would know the name to attach to the failure. But....a bit balless to me. I have signed my name on every post since 1996. I own my words. All those throwing shit need to put their real names out there so we all know clearly who you are. Collectively you are losers by that definition alone.

If folks take what I say personally without me namining a single domain name or single domainer than I guess they have indicted themsleves. If the shoe fits, they bought the damn store!

So if you comment without your real name you are a loser by my personal definition until you own what you say. If that hurts folks, GREAT! Be real and I may  treat you real. But imaginary friends went out with the tooth fairy. Just Ghosts to me. I love to pee all over ghosts. Friend or foe. We never know. Until we do. And then the job is to never forget.

There is a regular version and the General Audience version. Help yourself. I have no idea what you would do with it, but maybe we can exchange links and I will make a special Blog Roll for folks that know the difference between investment quality domains and domains that mean nothing, say nothing, have no idea behind it, no traffic within it, no idea how to make money with it and nobody wants to buy.....What I refer to as PIGEON SHIT......PIGEON SHIT with an extension!

Enjoy!

Let's define chutzpah. I am still shaking my head but it also gave me one hell of a laugh. I took this just minutes ago coming back from breakfast. So I can testify to the authenticity. This is the type picture you see on Leno or the Nightly News. Maybe it will go viral. Enjoy!

.CO Just Went Live But Aftermarket Sales Sites Devoted to the Extension Are Already Operating

July 23rd, 2010

The newly re-launched .CO extension just opened for general registration Tuesday but before most new .CO domain owners even had time to change their nameservers venues popped up offering newly registered .CO domain for sale. The highest profile sales site is Flipping.co by virtue of the fact that it comes from Francois Carillo.

“Now is the best time ever, so stop whinning and do something!”

July 22nd, 2010

Morning Folks!

Yesterday I exchanged emails with a small group. A successful group. Guys I have known for a while and we are all a bit controversial to say the very least. We began talking about the new folks that are struggling and what was really going on with them. I think we came to the immediate conclusion that it was not domain related. It was unfortunate but much deeper.

Morning Folks!

Yesterday I exchanged emails with a small group. A successful group. Guys I have known for a while and we are all a bit controversial to say the very least. We began talking about the new folks that are struggling and what was really going on with them. I think we came to the immediate conclusion that it was not domain related. It was unfortunate but much deeper. 

I wrote the following to them. It was supposed to remain private but one suggested I publish what I wrote and I am just stupid enough to do it hoping something I say will make somebody stop and think and then turn failure into success. Turn a foe into a lifelong friend. I'll have a lot of pigeons shitting on me, but I am an optimist and I know making that lifelong friend makes it worth the effort. Besides, I love when my foes waste all their passion and effort on me. That is a KNEE SLAPPER! They work their 10 hours and I occupy about how many of them?

I can understand it is confusing out there. So many motives, so much BS. But that is your job in life. Don't swallow the BS. Don't be a fish. Know the difference between bait with a hook and food. Unfortunately once you become bait, then others just use YOU and another pigeon is born and another eagle has been grounded. 

"There has never been a business with so much opportunity at every turn at every moment if you know what you are doing and have a strong wortk ethic. These guys work for 10 hours and brag about it. 10 hours is a morning to us!  So it isn't about domains. They are losers in life until they change how they think and approach things. I have been trying to reach these guys for years and few if any actually make the leap. More did earlier, today, very few. It's sad. 

I used to be a loser. I did everything half assed. Then I heard  a line...."If you don't have enough time to do it right the first time, how the hell you gonna make time when you have to do it right the second time?" From that moment on I changed my approach and so did the results. Fucking magic! lol



That is why even tho I like to be very inclusive, we need to recognize and stick around like minded folks because that way of thinking can only do harm. Eagles and Pigeons. Not much in between. Pigeons just shit on you. 



I got this the other day and it pretty much states it...."Desire is to want something but Passion is the refusal to live without it"


I think all these bozos are about to be schooled. Yesterday EVERY domainer had the EXACT opportunity to speculate and win or lose. All the big mouths will have their jaws dropping soon as they watch folks manufacture money from thin air. This proves they have no talent and just whine. Losers in every sense of the word. While others are enjoying success and creating even more, they will still be saying the same crap or sitting on the sidelines spewing hate instead of jumping in and do what a true domainer does and have the balls to speculate. If they can't make it in domains which is a gift from the heavens, they will make it in nothing."



Then as the title suggested, one suggested why not do this as a seminar? "Now is the best time ever, so stop whinning and do something!" So instead of waiting to October to examine this, why not now? 

Have a GREAT Day!
