The curious thing is that lg is going to introduce their "broadband hdtvs" in the next couple of months and havent even bothered acquire their sister domains. I guess i am lucky but at the same time i disgress. It seems the internet will always be an after thought. This generation will never get how much domains are worth and domainers will always face an uphill task at trying to explain the value of domains. Sure you will hear one or two 10million dollar domain sales here and there, but faced with the simple fact that you can register goshiforgottoregisterbroadbandhdtvs.com for 8 bucks and "brand the domain" it becomes an interesting battle. Then again - that doesnt mean i will delete my domain any time soon. :) If you are interested in buying my domain let me know. :) >.< Nick whats interesting is this , i just acquired broadbandhdtv and the sister domain broadbandhdtvs.com.

We've all been blessed in this industry one way or another, but how do we help the less fortunate. I was approached recently about helping a 3 year old who has a very rare form of leukemia. Like everyone else my first thoughts where to give a donation and try to help the cause, but the more I thought about it the more I wonder how my skills and abilities in domaining could help on a longer term. Yes we have done the auctions at the various shows for raising funds for worthy causes, but in this down economy that has become hard, but we've still been blessed and have skills that can do more. I was given a picture of the little girl and she had a hat on that said, "Cancer Fears Me!" I immediately thought of my successful motiviational wear and decided to buy that domain. My idea is to create some personalized items for her cause, but then it struck me that this could be useful for others and many times over. I don't think anyone lives without knowing or being affected by this disease. So I like the direction I am headed in. I don't have time to design what I have in mind for her right now, but I have gotten the domain, http://www.CancerFears.me and redirected it to my motivational stuff online. I will have her designs there shortly and donate all the proceeds to her. Maybe this is what we all can do and more of. It would show are skills in a positive like for sure. Thanks for your time and listening to me today. Sincerely, The G. Man While I have your attention though, here is a matter that we may really need to think on?

I could have sworn I made the same comment about generic domains and their power here the other day in regards to another matter. Don't tell me one of my favorite Domainer's is taking my thunder. LOL. I will have to tell your wife about this if it is so. I agree with David's comments above. That has generally been our experienced with companies and CEOs in this regard, since the early 90s.

I think I mentioned it a year ago, too - with different examples.... did you steal my thunder?? HA HA.... See you in LA, right? Hey Elliot, did you just steal this topic from me.
