Ron even managed to beat the buyer of ad.com for $1.4M, Divyank Turakhia, with a post on FB.

Hey Chef,
Can’t wait to hear you on ITUNES.

Namebee.com is owned by Andy Reberry, great RSS aggregator I view it from my google ready daily.

The only reason why some comments are held here is for spam and language. Not all spam is picked up by the filters and foul language is not either. If something comes across with foul language I’ll just bleep out those words.

Besides that all comments get approved.

I agree about regurgitating content but sometimes there is a need for it. Not every visitor reads all of the same sites.

And that’s good, I don’t want visitors to agree with everything I say. Everyone has their own stances on certain topics.

I am sure we can work something out with a redhead, lol.

I am going to start uploading podcasts into iTunes within the next couple of weeks.

NameBee.com is a good rss aggregator, who owns it?

I enjoy your top 5, along with a few others, and find that while not all are “subjective”, they do at times provoke thought….

What I do find annoying, within the blogoshphere though, is how many feel the need justify to others what they’re saying, so that they don’t put someone off. It’s your/their blog, if people don’t agree? fine, let them not agree, if anything it’s going to promote thought and/or dialogue correct?

This is especially true when using the “all comments are held for approval before being posted” tag.

If someone has an “alternative” thought process going into whatever the post is about, it’s usually never posted…which I’ve run into a few times, …why allow comments if you’re not going to post the good “and” the bad…sure edit if for disparaging comments and the like, but keep the general gist of it.

Promote dialogue, maybe in the end it will or could direct some interesting solutions to an otherwise stale area….after all, how many times can we hear, “the end user doesn’t get it”
so promote ideas on how to get them to “get it” instead of the same people regurgitating what’s been said for years.

Ron Jackson is so far above everyone it is not even close IMO, Without Ron Jackson there is nobody else.

Hey Chef,
Love your blog I sometimes don’t agree with what you say/type but at least your open and honest about it.

Two things you need is Red head model and podcast listed in ITUNES

My favourite Domain News site is
namebee.com

I am open to reading any bloggers who have the creativity.

Most blogs are cut and paste-recycled words.

I want to see creativity, originality and someone who thinks far ahead.

I can not believe I am going to agree with Sahar.

I appreciate domain news in general.

Anyone can create/make a blog and regurgitate what others have or are saying.

What about those that go well beyond this and make the news? In other words, those bloggers who take domaining and how it applies to other industries, consumers, and business sectors.

If I create a blog just about domaining and domain names and domainers, I have a very small reach and audience.

There are several bloggers that I read regularly because they have that ability to reach and react and interact with those outside of domaining.

Even though I may not agree with them (the person, the subject, the content, the responses) that does not mean I do not like the effort to intertwine domaining outside of domaindom.

Bravo for your effort and stance.

I also did that mistake in the past revealing the bloggers having a higher headline CTR in domaining.com (supposed to be the ones making the most attractive posts).
The ranking was not very appreciated by all, and this is why I will not do it again… I don’t earn anything pointing that.

Everyone bring is little brick in our community. If you want to share, if you do it with your heart, with enthoussiasm then people should perceive it and like what you offer them.

You have done a great/generous job with your comics and lately with your video journal, simply continue: Thanks!

The only that worry me is the lack or low ad revenue spend on domaining information sites like your. If the blogger depends of this to survive, it can quickly lead to the end of blog.
In fact what happen with mst blogs this past year.
