A lot of economists find Nassim Taleb’s theories fascinating and I think they’re worth mentioning as well as worth analyzing from a domaining perspective.
As the name suggests, the Black Swan Theory refers to the fact that rare/weird/unique events can turn everything upside down and render all of our plans as well as everything we thought we knew about the world around us useless.

We had an interesting debate yesterday and one of my conclusions was this: time will tell what will happen when it comes to new gTLDs, I don’t believe in predictions.
I think this issue deserves its own post because a lot of people are 100% convinced that they know exactly what will happen. That, in my opinion, is a huge mistake.

Some of you probably know this but cognitive dissonance is basically the feeling of discomfort that occurs when you’re dealing with an inner conflict between contradictory beliefs.
What does this have to do with domaining?

In my opinion, NamesCon will be a huge success.
Got a chance to talk to Richard and his team about being a speaker, had an interesting idea which they liked as well and all in all, it would have been a great experience. Unfortunately, due to bureaucracy-related reasons, it’s impossible for me to make it in January.

I have to admit, I started warming up to the idea of domain trades over the last couple of years. I’m not saying your entire business model should revolve around them, I’m simply saying that in some cases, a domain trade makes sense for both parties involved.
In fact, I’ll be contacting someone with a domain trade idea right after finishing this post.

This goes for domainers as well as pretty much all investors.
I noticed something interesting and would like to invite all of you to try it as opposed to simply taking my word for it: find a random stock trading forum, a forum about precious metals or about pretty much anything you can invest in.

As a domainer or let’s say as an investor in general, if negative opinions make you feel angry… you’re doing it wrong.
Through this post, I’ll try to explain why.

Almost everyone is talking about the Minds+Machines ad that said dot com is dead, without understanding that what they’re doing is marketing 101 and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that.
Their ad can be considered click bait and it also ended up being a good example of link bait. Let me explain.

How many times have you heard this expression?
Probably a lot.
It’s one of those expressions that is repeated ad nauseam, so much in fact that most people consider it void of content. It’s not and especially as a domainer, you have to understand that.

Domainers have all sorts of interesting backgrounds. Some have been involved in the IT industry in one way or another, some used to be lawyers, some used to be real estate agents, some used to be stock investors and the list could go on and on.
I’m sure that for everyone who is reading this post, there’s a way to gain an edge by leveraging that experience.
