It’s not the amount of domain names you own that matters, it’s the QUALITY!!!

Here is a link to last week’s comic strip in case you missed it. It was “Want to gain 16,000 followers in xx days?”.

Also, don’t forget I’m giving away a Flip Ultra Camcorder.

Is Twitter the forum killer?

Ironically enough I brought this conversation up with my Twitter friends last night. I received several responses all saying they are on the forums less.

Why do you think people are spending less times on forums?

I can only speak for myself but the main reason is the diverse crowd that Twitter brings. I went from averaging 8-12 posts per day on NamePros.com to 8-12 per week. At the same time I am at about 30-40 updates per day on Twitter. Twitter allows me to hold more conversations about everything and anything with short, to the point answers. Twitter has no rules. If I were to post an lol or something with no meaning on a forum I would be penalized and possibly banned. Plus the majority of forums frown upon self promotion. For the most part I am not allowed to throw up a forum thread saying, check out my new blog post. On occasion I will get away with it if it’s a valuable post.

There are days that I want to have my domainer conversations. I can still do that with Twitter. Whatever type of comment I put out will dictate the people that respond. If I talk about a TV show that I like, I get responses from my fellow TV viewers. The same works for talking about domain names.

Not to be negative but I really can’t think of too many reasons for a forum. One possible reason, at least for the domain industry, would be domain sales. Other than that all conversations could be held on Twitter and any articles housed on individual blogs. Now having said that I still plan on being a part of a forum or two. I do enjoy reading some threads and chatting with the members. Not all of them are on Twitter.

One last thing, all of my references above have been about public forums. There are too many reasons why a private forum is different, that is an entirely different subject.

What do you think, do you spend less time on forums and why?

PS…follow me on Twitter

I’ve seen breaking news and people ordering food on Twitter, is this really that far fetched of an idea
