They are technology companies one day.. Another day they are media companies... Another day they are investment groups.... Sheesh ;) Identity crisis? Yup.... Always has been this way and will be. Domains just aren't mainstream. The corporate guys and guys who made/make their living off domains are almost always embraced as "entrepreneurs" or technology leaders, etc. Best, Mike http://www.wannadevelop.com Domain companies themselves don’t know what to consider their core businesses / operations so they cannot categorize it accordingly.

Identity crisis? Yup…. Always has been this way and will be. Domains just aren’t mainstream.

The corporate guys and guys who made/make their living off domains are almost always embraced as “entrepreneurs” or technology leaders, etc.

Small businesses and entrepreneurs will do much better than they dying elephants of the corporate world, just as they are now. It is not going to be easy, will take a lot of sweat and brain cells, but for myself at least I wouldn't have it any other way! mp/m Hi Elliot – Aren’t you the CEO of your business? :)

I havent noticed this trend to much. I do agree when I contact some people about brokering a domain I never pitch it them saying as you are a "Domainer" Again I dont blame many companies not wanting to call themself domainers as alot bad people in this industry give us bad names - i.e Cybersquatters!

One of the reasons we were able to survive the DOT COM but, while many competitors closed shop - was due to the fact that our cost structure was far less, allowing us to be more nimble than companies 3X our size with the same business model.
