The Countdown And The Blog

Posted by Steve under Blog Improvements, General on Tuesday, February 12th, 2008 11:13 pm

Only a couple days left until the big announcement is made. 15 February is around the corner. It will be great for the Geo domain industry and will help expedite the maturity of the industry. I would really like to thank all of you for taking the time out of your busy days to read the blog. SimplyGeo.com has become the number one source of information on the Geo domain industry on the internet in just 2 months because of your involvement.

I would like to remind you that you are welcomed to write a guest post on the blog. The only criteria is that it must be related to the Geo domain industry. I honestly feel that in order for anything to grow, you must give individuals a sense of ownership and pride in an organization, service, or product. Blogging gives this sense of ownership, and this is why it is so popular on the internet. This blog was launched with all of you in mind as I have stated many times before. Send me an email if you are interested.

I have received an abundance of emails from many geopreneurs, domainers, and new startups offering domain services, different types of partnerships, and such as you can imagine. Thank you for your emails and offers, as I am flattered. If I come across services that will bring value to geopreneurs, I will blog about it. However, I apologize if I do not blog about your business or link to you. Please do not take offense.

This blog is highly targeted with “Quality” readers who are decision makers on serveral fronts, and I do not want to cover general domaining services they can find on other sites.

This hopefully will encourage tech gurus to develop services specifically for the Geo domain industry. GeoDomainTools.com will be developed in the future into a marketplace for such gurus to offer services and opensource products that will assist in defining this industry and geopreneurs with their goals. If you have products available that bring value to geopreneurs, please send me an email.

Once again, thank you for your support, and please keep those Service Members in harms way in your prayers for a safe return home.

Congrats, Steve. You’ve done a brilliant job with SimplyGeo.com. It’s hard to believe that SimplyGeo.com has only been up and running for two months.

Thank you David,

Yeah, I can’t believe it has only been 2 months. Actually 2 months 15 days or so. I honestly didn’t think it would be this successful with the blog and forum. But I guess that is what focusing on a niche does, it finds those people interested. It is the caliber of people who have made this a success, such as yourself, Michael and others and I thank all of you! I am just a scriber enticing conversation and promoting the industry.

There are alot of visitors that type all the major geo domain owners into google and end up here eventually. It is just amazing how the internet works and can connect all the dots.

Two guesses - SimplyGeo is buying Yahoo or Microsoft is buying SimplyGeo

I got it! I figured it out! The big announcement is …….

Steve blackmailed the Governor of Texas to pass a resolution renaming the city of Dallas to SimplyGeo, Texas. Steve is now a big-time geodomain name owner!

Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant!

I still remember:

A bad quality photo, a site in construction, a pair of short posts and an RSS that was not working properly.
This was SimplyGeo a pair of months ago!

But I bet on you and offered you a chance to join domaining.com imediately:
An excelent choice!
There was a great person behind, and a true project.
Definitively a blog domainers cannot miss.

Congrats!

P.S: Impatient to know what is this thing you should anounce Feb, 15th…

In a short amount of time, I believe your blog and forum have been permanently woven as a wealth of knowledge and information into the fabric of the Geodomain and internet industry.
