2024 PMC Jersey Reveal

John Berryhill and I are happy to reveal the domain industry sponsor jersey we will wear on the 2nd day of the Pan-Mass Challenge. The generous companies who donated to our PMC fundraiser are directly supporting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and its cancer fighting mission. They are listed below, and we appreciate them.

This year, we created a high visibility jersey, and it raised well over $10,000 for Dana-Farber. On the back of the jersey, there is a second Embrace.com logo. If one additional company would like to become a sponsor with a $500 (or greater) donation to John or my PMC fundraiser, I will replace this logo with your logo. We plan to finalize the jersey by the end of the day today. The last spot has been reserved with the donation coming soon..

Poll: Will X.com Change Lead to Other Rebrands?

As you know, Elon Musk rebranded Twitter as X last Summer. Last week, the company began forwarding Twitter.com to X.com, a domain name Musk acquired from PayPal in 2017. Incidentally, this domain name was reportedly acquired with the brokerage help of Media Options.

With the seemingly successful domain name change to X.com, I am wondering if this change will inspire other companies to undertake a similar type of rebrand. Migrating a website to a new domain name without harming the business is not an easy task. It can cause problems for a business if not done correctly – not to mention add stress to the employees responsible for ensuring business continuity. X may have proven this can be done on a very large scale.

This morning, I posted a poll on X asking people if they think this rebrand with domain name change will have an impact on other companies considering the same. Vote in the poll and/or share your thoughts below.

Entrepreneurship Handbook Offers Domain Advice – Reveals a $385k Domain Name Purchase

Chad Folkening shared an excellent newsletter article from the Entrepreneurship Handbook that will be of interest to domain investors. Not only does Dave Schools share some good advice for buyers of valuable domain names, but he revealed a one word .com domain name that was acquired for $385,000.

Before sharing the domain name sale he revealed, I must say I agree with his thoughts about using .com domain names:

Referring a (Bad) Prospect to a Broker

There are many times when the valuation of a domain name my company owns is far greater than what a prospective buyer thinks it is worth. Usually these people simply disappear when they realize the price is beyond what they are willing or able to spend. Sometimes, these people are persistent and won’t give up. These prospects may feel the need to argue with my valuation or try to convince me I am wrong.

When someone disagrees with the valuation of one of my higher value domain names, I will sometimes recommend that they connect with an unaffiliated domain broker to get some additional insight from someone who is unaffiliated with the domain name. A broker, working on commission, will let that person know their opinion on the valuation of the domain name and may even educate the buyer about why the domain name is valuable.

Somewhere.com Reportedly Acquired for $400,000

The Somewhere.com domain name has reportedly been acquired for $400,000 USD. The acquisition was announced on X this morning by Nick Huber:

Can You Beat my Time on Pyramid.com?

Michael Cyger launched a fun solitaire game called Pyramid solitaire on the exceptional Pyramid.com domain name. I’ve played it many times and find it quite addictive. This morning, Michael shared that 5,000 Pyramid solitaire games were played last week.

My best Pyramid time was 56 seconds, which I shared with Michael:

I have been trying to beat that time for over a week and haven’t had any luck. If I can’t finish in a little over a minute, I reset the game to optimize my free time. I would love to see the game retain my stats with either an account login or cookie.

Have you been able to beat the one minute mark? What’s your best time so far?
