A Quick Update From Chris Woodward

By - February 20, 2012 - 3 Comments
As I'm sure 2 or 3 of you must have noticed, I haven't posted much as of late. Well there is a reason for that and I just wanted to give a quick update... As many of you know, I have been actively searching for a new job after leaving my previous employer last month. Well, I am pleased to announce that I have accepted a job offer. I don't want to go into too many details because it will be announced on a larger scale soon, but I can say that I am extremely extremely excited for what's to come. It is an absolutely terrific opportunity and I couldn't be more pleased with the way everything turned out. ... Read More »

Zen and the Art of Domain Auction Science

By - February 7, 2012 - 2 Comments
I decided to conduct a little experiment recently. My question: Is the final price of a domain at auction at all affected by the time of year it is auctioned off? My answer: Not sure. To conduct my experiment I put 2 keyword rich domain names up for auction. The domains were two that I bought during the middle of last year and contained keywords that I felt would attract domainers looking for development domains towards the beginning of the year. Domain #1. FreeDebtAdvice[dot]com (FDA) With the new year comes people looking to get out of debt, either as a new years resolution, or just because of a... Read More »

Feds Seize 307 Sports Related Domain Names Just Before Super Bowl Weekend

By - February 2, 2012 - 3 Comments
Wired is reporting that Feds have seized 307 sports related domain names just days before the Super Bowl. Of these, 291 domains were used to sell fake or non-licensed apparel and the remaining domains were being used to stream unauthorized live sporting events. The seizures came from the Homeland Security's ICE unit. When I first heard the news I immediately visited FirstRowSports.com. First Row Sports is a site that I may or may not have used to watch football and hockey games in the past. (I do have 3 TV's in my living room for football but what can I say sometimes there's 4 games I want to watc... Read More »

Some Of My Favorite Sites On The Web

By - February 1, 2012 - 4 Comments
You may have noticed that I've been slackin' on the writing lately. Sometimes I feel like I'm busier without a job than with one. I had a job interview yesterday for a really great company. I'm not going to lie, I do want this job, and I feel like I'd be a good fit. It seems like a real challenge and that's what I'm looking for. I'll spare the details for now as I don't want to jinx it, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I figured I'd take a little time and share some of the sites I visit regularly on the web. I enjoy having a wide range of interests and I think that's reflected in what I visit onli... Read More »

I Finally Did It…I Joined Twitter

By - January 30, 2012 - 8 Comments
I realize many won't see this as they're traveling to DOMAINfest, but I finally did it. I broke down and joined Twitter last night. You'll laugh but the main reason I did it is the new layout has a place for my Twitter handle and I didn't want to leave that blank. But once I did join I was glad I did. I think this will be a good opportunity to connect with a lot of readers and make quick little posts or post pics that wouldn't necessarily make it to the blog. Yes I will post stuff about domains but you can also expect just about anything else I can think of or come up with on there as well. I'll down... Read More »
