About time to update our important educational series about domaining: The amazing Domain Name Jargon series – a bottomless well of information, a true thesaurus of terms and trivia related to domaining.
Name Jargon is here to help (re)define domaining and to clarify misconceptions about domain industry terms used in the past, and today.
Today’s Domain Name Jargon entry is below:
Teledomainer: A domain investor that would never attend a domain conference, meetup, or even a coffee with another domainer, is called a “teledomainer.” A teledomainer isn’t one made out of necessity due to the Covid-19 virus, but one who’d rather mingle online on domain forums, domain groups on Facebook, and social media overall. A teledomainer might be perceived as antisocial by some, when in fact they are just fine. You can meet many a teledomainer at Zoom calls, most often in audio only.
Example: “Are you going to attend NamesCon 2021 in Austin, Texas, bro? I hear it’ll be the best one ever!”
“Nah bro, I am not into that type of stuff, as a teledomainer I’ll be watching the video highlights on YouTube and the photos on DNJournal – but I’ll see you tonight in the NamePros chatroom!”
