Google is really no better than adware from the old days. Sure the service they provide is useful, but it's still adware in another package.

In the interest of full disclosure: I sell domain name ideas. I still think having multiple domains is good for traffic and sales, though.

>> I offer to set up a subdomain for you which delegates all requests (see above) to your fake nameserver. Isn't that just like publishing-to-all-hackers your "not so secure" server?

I bought a whole book to tell me the same information as in the PDF. I like this PDF better. The book was odd, though: Not one mention of exceptions or error handling in a whole book. Sigh

I'm not so sure. I think I could fake it.

Yeah, I was gonna say "make" combined with some new tool to read the metadata from the js files would probably be doable.

No, Google is the perfect investment for VC. Most founders (or anyone for that matter) can't afford the huge data centers that Google needs. That server farm costs a lot, and therefore the required investment is a huge barrier to entry. T

In an age when anyone can do a startup, the word "startup" here on YC has somehow been distorted to mean "small software business that was started in the last two years on a shoe string budget." I think the VC should instead concentrate on

>> Also, I'm one of the lucky 676 people that have a two letter domain. I agree there are still great names -- that's why I have that website. I'm just saying that the good one-word English names have definitely been picked over.

COM are the best domains, so I ignored .NET, .ORG, etc. Maybe I will try dictionaries for other languages next.

What if you could just have some settings: 1) I don't want to see any submissions from people who became "members" after me. 2) And, I don't want to see ANY comments from people who signed up AFTER me. So the site stays about the same for M

None of them are reliable. But for different reasons. GoDaddy is best, but has issues, too.

It's a tough business selling the domain name ideas. I make a buck or two on each sold domain at http://HotNameList.com . But it's too easy for users to skip your link, or have an ad blocker etc. Then you get nothing for the sale. Site loo

One of the big problems has been figuring out how to monetize it. The advertising isn't working (probably too much of that). And the advertising networks don't pay reliably. I know the domains are getting clicked and sold, but there isn't a

Yes, I was agreeing with you, just didn't say it well. The automatic TWITTER is a great idea.
