We wrote a post a few days ago about whether you would buy or sell some domain currently at auction at Godaddy.com.
One of those domains, Wet.net was at the time at $6,500.
Now the domain name, has a high bid of over $21K with almost 2 days to go.
I think that is an outrageous amount of money.
If you want to track or bid on the domain, the link is here.

Deal will create competition, not destroy it.
Dear Department of Justice:
After a long courtship, Yahoo and Microsoft have agreed to a long term search and advertising deal. The deal is going to end up in your lap early next year, and a number of lobbyists will be screaming that the deal is anti-competitive. Don’t buy it.
This deal creates a competitor. It takes two also-rans in the search business and turns them into a true (although still relatively weak) competitor to Google.
As a small web site publisher, I’m convinced that having at least two viable advertising providers in the search space is critical to keep each one in check. Right now we have a growing ad provider in Google and a faltering one in Yahoo. Everyone else is a tackling dummy. By Yahoo and Microsoft joining forces, their scale will be enough to entice more advertisers to pay attention. This, in turn, will benefit web entrepreneurs.
I realize you need to look like you have a heavy hand. But this isn’t a case to worry about or slow down. Don’t listen to the Google-funded army; do what’s right for millions of advertisers and web site publishers. Give this deal the green light.

Domain name appraisal scam moves to a new domain name.
I’m getting tired of writing these articles. But every time I do, a number of people searching for this stumble upon it, so I figure it saves some people from falling for the scam.
The latest incarnation of the domain name appraisal has moved to a new domain name – Fleos.com.
A scammer sends and email to you offering to buy your domain name for a percentage of the appraisal price. He explains that they accept appraisals from Sedo (a well known and reputable appraisal provider) and a no-name service (in this case Fleos.com). The no-name service costs less, so people that receive the email buy an appraisal from it. The no-name service is actually owned of the scammer, who has no intention of buying your domain name.
Previous web sites used in the scam include Pozde.com, NameOrange.com, TropicalNames.com, and FlyAppraisals.com.
A copy of the scam e-mail is below:
from Kevin Hill 2kevinhill@gmail.com
subject Offer for CARGRANTS.COMWe are interested to buy your domain name CARGRANTS.COM and offer to buy it from you for 80% of the appraised market value.
As of now we accept appraisals from either one of the following leading appraisal companies:
- fleos.com
- sedo.comIf you already have an appraisal please forward it to us.
As soon as we have received your appraisal we will send you our payment (we use paypal for amounts less than $2,000 and escrow for amounts above $2,000) as well as further instructions on how to complete the transfer of the domain name.
We appreciate your business,
Yours truly,
Kevin Hill

We all knew that Twitter is about to launch its redesigned home page. But we didn’t expect it to be this fast and neither did we expect that it will do it this way. If you sign out of your Twitter account, you will see the new Twitter home page with the sleeker design and a new darker blue theme. But there’s more actually - and it stares at you upfront - the Twitter Search Box.So now, right up front you can start discovering tweets and updates. The redesign was made more for first time visitors to the Twitter home page and who are not yet using Twitter. Putting the Twitter search box right up front would give these visitors a first taste of how great Twitter is as a discovery engine and not just a social media tool for communicating with Twitter members.
It’s a good strategy for Twitter which defines what it could do aside from being a micro-blogging service. And this could also be the start of biggger, bolder things to come for Twitter.
As Loren commented to me via IM - “looks like a search engine to me…“

Twitter Highlights Search on New Home Page
A few hours after the first news coverage on the upcoming announcement about the Yahoo-Microsoft search deal, it started to generate substantial buzz on Twitter. If you search “Microsoft Yahoo” on Twitter Search, you’ll get tremendous number of Tweets, with updates coming in every second.
While most of the Tweets are just providing links to various news sources running the story, there were some valuable commentaries and reactions posted by the more opinionated (I guess) Twitter users.
Some of the notable Tweets related to the Yahoo-Microsoft Deal:
