Now that both Black Friday and Cybermonday are a distant memory, the Holiday Season is upon us.
‘Tis the season to be jolly and the right time to post our remarkably accurate predictions for the wonderful world of domaining!
Without further ado, we present you the 2014 Edition of the prestigious DomainGang Domainer Almanac! 😀
Rick Schwartz sells RicksBlog.co to a domain investor from Colombia, for a cool million bucks. Deborah Jacobs of Forbes calls the transaction “highly illiquid.”
Howard Neu, a long time DomainGang reader and fan, launches Lawyer BBQ – a joint venture with fellow attorney and barbeque enthusiast, John Berryhill. Their best-selling product “UDRP BBQ Sauce” is zesty, yet not overly spicy.
Elliot Silver legally changes his name to Domain Investing, thus ending the argument over his recent domain rebranding. Friends and family can still refer to him as “The domainer formerly known as Elliot.”
Frank Schilling prepares for NamesCon, the new biggest domain conference of 2014, by getting a tattoo on his back that reads “.Sexy” – thus killing two gTLDs with one stone.
Chef Patrick decides that healthy eating isn’t the way to go; he ditches real estate ventures for a 9-5 job in the domain industry and restarts his blog that has been gathering dust for the past two years.
Gregg G. McNair buys TripleG.com from GE, in the biggest domain acquisition ever recorded: $100 Million dollars in cash and igloo ice blocks. McNair will use the domain to post pictures of his dog and numerous selfies from domain conference after-parties.
Ron Jackson becomes a priest and a mentor for the Domain Church. After talking to long time DomainGang contributor, Father Domainicus, Jackson dons the frock and switches DNJournal to an evangelical portal for the troubled souls in domaining. Amen.
Shane Cultra expands his domain business 100-fold, after successfully delivering plants and Christmas trees with flying drones. Cultra-1 and Cultra-2 are a commercial success, leased out to Amazon for their product deliveries.
Bruce Marler becomes a millionaire, after discovering his long forgotten stash of bitcoins. As an early adopter of bizarre technology and exotic coffee flavors, Marler turns his $25 investment into $14 million (American) dollars.
Paul Goldstone realizes that cutting his mullet hair was a mistake; grows it back and moonlights as a watermelon smashing comedian under the alias Paul Goldkidneystone.
Mike Berkens buys Domains.com and his traffic quadruples; so does the number of daily posts, now managed by insomniacs from the Philippines and India.
Morgan Linton declares that his fashionista days are over and enters the adult movie business. The new project is funded by Ron “the Hedgehog” Jeremy and it becomes an overnight Playboy Channel success.
Happy Holidays to all! 😀
