Editorial: A message from beyond the #domain blogging grave

Posted by DomainGang on May 20, 2018, at 11:55 am

Is domain blogging “a dying art?” Rick Schwartz seems to think so, and in a post written at 7:00am today, he points out the quantity of posts appearing on the Domaining.com timeline, since Friday night. A quick backgrounder on Domaining.com and its free services, for those that are not initiated. As a domain news aggregator, […]

Editorial : Brace for the era of #domain anarchy, once #WHOIS goes dark

Posted by DomainGang on May 5, 2018, at 10:33 am

Welcome to the May editorial; it’s the month of flowers, and nothing blooms more aggressively than the thorny issue of GDPR. A mix of rules and penalties, allegedly devised to protect the privacy of Europe’s citizens, this far-reaching law will release its stinky aroma on May 25th. The European Union is a loose geopolitical and […]

Editorial : A fun revisit to the embargoed #news practices

Posted by DomainGang on March 2, 2018, at 6:47 pm

Welcome to the DomainGang Editorial for March 2018. A press release about the acquisition of Domaining Europe by NamesCon was embargoed until 4PM Pacific (7PM Eastern.) Two fellow publications shared the news already, because the embargo was lifted early by NamesCon. We were not copied on that update, however, and it’s understandable that mistakes do […]

#Domains versus #crypto : Who wins the duel?

Posted by DomainGang on February 2, 2018, at 9:35 am

This month’s Editorial is about domain investors moving their hard-earned cash to cryptocurrencies and facing a very hard week. Cryptos dropped 15% – 20% on average across the board, and the market is extremely volatile; the so-called “correction” might take long to recover from. If you panicked and liquidated your crypto, no worries: there are […]

Goodbye #domain investors, and farewell to all

Posted by DomainGang on December 31, 2017, at 6:06 pm

Sometimes one has to take a break from the wonderful world of domain investing, and it is with a sad heart that we share the news of making no more posts, a decision that was hastily made earlier today. After several thousand posts this year, it’s time to give it some rest for a long […]

This brilliant company is disrupting the $200 billion #domain industry

Posted by DomainGang on December 12, 2017, at 3:09 pm

There are times when we should all look back at the domain industry’s growth in sheer awe. From the early beginnings of domain investing, to the daily multi-million dollar sales gracing the lists of DNJournal and NameBio, domainers are living in an extraordinary era. And now, a brilliant company is disrupting the $200 billion dollar […]

Editorial : Better get the domain news out while it’s fresh!

Posted by DomainGang on November 2, 2017, at 4:48 pm

It’s November already, and the best time to grow some facial hair, supporting the Movember Foundation. Also, time for the monthly DomainGang editorial. Today’s subject: getting the news out, while it’s fresh. Domain bloggers and professional industry reporters receive press releases, some of which might arrive with an embargo; a date, before which they cannot […]

#PrayForVegas : Our thoughts go out to the Vegas massacre victims

Posted by DomainGang on October 2, 2017, at 12:56 pm

DomainGang would like to extend our deepest sympathy, and condolences to the victims of the Vegas massacre, and their families. This heartless act of domestic terror attempted to disrupt a peaceful, fun gathering of common folks in Las Vegas. Human tragedy involving helpless victims and ruthless perpetrators has no place in America. This is a […]

Hurricane Irma : Stay safe out there, domainers!

Posted by DomainGang on September 10, 2017, at 9:20 am

With hurricane Irma – that BITCH – hitting Florida today, we’ve been taking a break from regular domain reporting. Preparations across the state of Florida, where many domainers reside, have been underway for the best part of last week. This one is much worse than hurricane Matthew last year, when we continued reporting. Our thoughts […]

Domian Buisness : Lukewarm winds in the domain industry

Posted by DomainGang on August 8, 2017, at 10:53 am

Yesterday, I read a funny story by the Finnish founder of the Polkki Moose Foundation, Johannes Farts. The foundation is responsible for tracking Finland’s moose online via .fi domains. I believe he did a great job tallying the current mood of the domain industry this time of the year: “You might be retarded and still […]

Editorial : This post is not about NameJet

Posted by DomainGang on July 23, 2017, at 6:09 pm

This story is not about NameJet, and won’t mention NameJet beyond this point. Sundays are great days for introspection, particularly by finger-pointing domainers with plenty of time on their hands. Popcorn-popping discussion threads often attract tinfoil hatters and kooks alike; whether there is a real fire or not, such events soon become eruptions of volcanic […]
