Remember Rick’s $750,000 iReport.com deal? Remember how many i+keyword domain name owners started daydreaming afterwards? Remember how many people started to foolishly invest in absolutely worthless i+keyword domains?

Rick Schwartz and quite a few folks are fighting a battle on an extremely complicated front: corporate end users. As domainers, we all want as much “fresh” capital as possible but aren’t we overlooking something? Shouldn’t we pay more attention to the potential end users who are right in front of us?

Alan from NewfoundNames (don’t know him, nothing against him – I’m criticizing the blog post, not the person who wrote it) wrote a post I found pretty funny about 2 hours ago.

End users don’t “get it”. Other domainers don’t “get it”. Marketers don’t “get it”. Nobody “gets it” except you, right? Seriously, I’m starting to develop some kind of an allergy to this phrase.
