YH.com has been hijacked from it’s owner, Jaynell Hogan. The thief is actively marketing the domain name for sale so before making any purchase please verify owner’s information. Jaynell’s correct email address is Jaynell @ me.com.

Escrow.com is also aware of this, if there is any doubt use their service for transfer.

In February, Andrew Allemann of DomainNameWire.com reported the ability to use Google AdSense on .TEL domain names by the end of March. I just received my first email for just that. OnlineNIC has announced they are now supporting the use of Google AdSense with .TEL domains. Based on the email received it appears at this time limited to only 2 blocks of 250×250 ads. Here is an example that Andrew posted on how the new .TEL layout may look with integrated ads.

If you are a .TEL domain name owner please refer to your registrar for more information.

On March 1st, 2010 – Internet professionals and others from around the world will be climbing the great Mount Kilimanjaro in efforts to raise awareness and funding for sustainable clean water solutions in Africa.

Donations that are made will go to a non-profit organization, The Water School. Their main focus is on providing clean and safe drinking water to countries that are without. The Water School goes to these countries without clean water and teaches them how to disinfect their water using the suns rays and ordinary plastic bottles. This is a worthy cause that will help many people.

How can you help?

Donate to one or all of the following people:
Gregg McNair
Kamila Sekiewicz

A couple things in the news to report about GoDaddy.

First, GoDaddy released a preview of  their upcoming Super Bowl ads. You can catch a preview of the commercials at here. Come on, I know you want to, they have hot women.

The second piece of news is the company’s departure of Adam Dicker, VP of Domain Aftermarket. Most of you know Adam as DotComGod from his domaining forum DNForum. According to a post he left on his forum, he left on good terms and allow him more time for other projects.

One week ago today, I posted that DomainState.com Was Going To Auction because of the high amount of interest to purchase the forum. Well, I just received the following email from DomainState.com admins.

“We have had a pre auction offer from one of the current 3 part owners of the site (Paul Shaw/Snoopy) at $20,000 USD. We consider the offer to be acceptable in absence of any significantly higher offer. As a result instead of holding an auction we will now be calling for further offers.

Despite the fact that the offer is from a current part owner of the site it is our intention to give careful consideration to all offers that are put on the table. We would like to wrap things up over the next few days.”

I believe this is the best move for the forum and its members. Keep it in the hands of someone that has been running it since day 1.

I will not be bidding any further. Although it is a good forum I cannot see a value of $20,000 in its current state.
