Cheerios Uses Non-Challenge.com In New Ad
I write a good deal about companies and the domain names they use in TV ads. I have done this for sometime now and I can honestly say, more and more companies are doing it! Many are going away from using their flagship domain names (mainly the exact match company names) and going with "catchy" [...]

SnapNames Database Needs Cleaning
I haven’t talked much about SnapNames.com after all the shill bidding news broke nor have I visited the site all that much either. I guess I wasn’t confident in who I would be bidding against and my account has stayed empty for back orders and I have not bid on any auctions.
I was a little [...]
One Challenge Accepted. Domains.com

To view the entire list go to the Twitter signup page and view the source code by going to View Source in Read more »
