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. It was relevant the first time someone used it, it was relevant the second time but too much is too much!

Domaining Forums – Wow, Just Wow

I generally stay away from domaining forums (waaaaaay too much noise) but now that I’m a blogger and everything, I’m forcing myself to spend 10 minutes or so per day on the two major ones.

Going through some of the threads is like a rollercoaster ride. You go from being mildly amused to being shocked and then right back to being mildly amused. Again: wow, just wow!

Commonly (Mis)Used Phrases

Here’s how things stand: a lot of people have read Frank Schilling’s blog or Rick Schwartz’s blog and ended up “adopting” certain phrases. There’s only one huge problem: after everyone uses one of those phrases again and again (and again and again and again… and again), its value gets diluted.

Diluted up to a point when it’s not even funny anymore! Something along the lines of “I hand regged a 4 word dot com domain with only one hyphen, then emailed a bunch of people I found via Google search but nobody wants to buy it for $15,000: I can’t believe people still don’t >>get it<<”

Get What?

The fact that your domain sucks? The fact that you adopted a phrase without actually understanding what it means and when it should be used? Believe me, all of them “got it”.

Please do us all a favor and wake up! Stop considering yourself an expert after reading a few threads, stop living in denial, stop registering crap and start making some money!
