New Blog Theme

Monday, May 5th, 2008

As you have noticed, I decided to change the theme of my blog.

I had the other one for quite some time. It now feels like it is the beginning of a new era for my blog - a very exciting one.

It is very different looking at this theme, and will take some time to adjust.

I was wondering what you all thought of the theme?

Send me your comments and let me know what you think about my new theme and design.

New Asia domain name extension opens for registration

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

.Asia domain name extension has opened for registration.

Entrepreneurs thinking of expanding into Asia, or see potential opportunities in the market (and there are many), now is your chance to get a domain name.

I did some web browsing and found that there were something like 648 521 .com domain names registered in the last 24 years, although you do need to take into account the ones that expire and are transferred.

What does this mean for entrepreneurs? The domain world is a fast and fierce one. You can buy and sell domains for extreme amounts of money, and there are many people that make a living off it.

I think over time, we will continue to see domain name extensions created because the demand is just so high. The increasing reliance on the internet will increase the pressure on the important of having your own domain name.

So if you would to get into the domain name trading industry, you better start now.

The big question remains, are domain names really worth the large sums that people pay for them?

If you take the demand-supply theory of economics out of this equation, I really don’t think they are worth the amounts paid!!!

As mentioned, the new .Asia domain extension has opened and time is limited to register, so click here to read the news article.

The domain name game is fast paced and competitive.

There are so many applications and websites providing information of how to register the right domain name for you or your business.

Folksonomy’s Domain Name 101: An Entrepreneur’s Guide provides some good information if you are looking at starting a Web 2.0 service. While there is still so much more to add on to these suggestions, it is a good start.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts of it. If you have any other good sources of information on registering domain names, post them up so we can check them out.
