It’s been long predicted that the internet is going local.  I don’t know of anyone who disagrees with this.  People are dumping their Yellow Pages and are increasingly gathering their info from the net.  And the best part about it is that the quantity of local areas combined with infi...

Today marks six months since my first post. It went by so damn fast! September and October weren’t my best months, but I can attribute most of that to Ike, Dead Space and some writers block. After all, there are only so many trends one can write about, ya know? Eventually [...]...

I’m not one to give you a link, say two sentences and move on.  But this evening a domaining article made the front page of Digg, which doesn’t happen very often.  And the only reason I’m posting about it is because it involves one of the geodomain ideas I had written about. The ...

A couple weeks ago Jamie Zoch of DotWeekly.com posted about aggregation feeds here, and a few months earlier here.  I left a brief comment with my opinion on the first one. A few aggregator sites use my feed; one even asked my permission before doing so.  Another one, DNHeadlines, sent me a courte...

I’ve got three words for you: Personalization Individualization Uniqueness These have been at the forefront of trends for 2008; many of the trends this year tie directly into one of these.  Now, perhaps more than ever, people want to express themselves in their own way.  Well, I’ve g...

Horror is in.  I mean, it’s never really been out.  But it’s definitely in, now.  And when I say horror, I mean generally dark themes; not just movies.  This includes goth, video games and biggest of them all: Halloween. Every kid loves Halloween.  But historically once they reach t...

So you’ve heard about this economic bail out that passed recently.  I’m sure you are wondering what this will affect as far as real world trends are concerned, and how can you pad your portfolio with that knowledge.  You’ve come to the right place. I read the actual bill.  Yes, ...

The auto industry is hurting: it’s down 20% from this time last year.  In case you don’t know how auto dealerships work, here it is: dealerships don’t own the new cars on their lot.  Who can afford having 100, 200 or 300 new cars at ~$25k a pop?  In order to get around this prob...

To start, this post isn’t about pure geo domains.  Those are no-brainers.  This post is intended to help you decide if a geo+keyword.com is worth picking up. Since I found the new Name.com tools I have been doing a lot of mining for geodomains using my trusty Domain Research Tool.  There ar...

I have electricity once again after Ike took it from us for 11 days.  The site was also down today.  Apparently the Google positioner plugin I use stopped working and made the entire site go poof.  It’s gone and the site is back. I’m a bit out of touch at the moment; haven’t bee...

Sorry for the off-topic post. This isn’t about domaining, so if you’re sick of Ike now would be the time to click elsewhere. I wrote this post and after I was done I decided to change it a little. So I don’t spam newsfeeds I’ll leave this as a running diary today. I’...
