GoDaddy's
TDNAM.com
aftermarket auction site has undergone a name
change. The domain sales platform is now called GoDaddy
Auctions. Those who type in the old address,
TDNAM.com, or the new name, GoDaddyAuctions.com, will be
redirected to a redesigned site operating from a
subdomain at Auctions.GoDaddy.com.
The move makes a lot of sense. Everyone knows the
GoDaddy name, but TDNAM draws blank stares when you
mention the name to anyone outside the industry.

In
another GoDaddy note, company founder and CEO Bob
Parsons is the subject of a very interesting
interview in the new issue of Inc.
Magazine. The interview, conducted by Liz
Welch, focuses on how Parsons spends his average
workday. Unlike many entrepreneurs, Parsons is not a
workaholic. He loves spending time away from the office
hunting or riding motorcycles.
Still one of
Parsons' closing comments in the article revealed a
characteristic you will see in just about every
successful entrepreneur you will ever meet - he loves
what he does. Parsons told Welch, "The hardest time
of day for me is at the end of the day, because I
hate to see it end. I hate to shut down. And it's
hard to shut down, too -- in part, because I am always
thinking of ways to improve the business. If you're not
getting better, you're getting worse." |

Elsewhere,
registrar Encirca.com
is running one of the best .US sales I've seen in
a long time. Between now and February 28, they
are charging just $3.99 for new .US registrations
(I pay double that at my current registrar).
Speaking of .US, the American ccTLD got a nice
plug in the current issue of TV Guide
magazine (dated January 12-18). In the Hot List Web
Edition on page 4 actress Sarah Jane Morris (Brothers
& Sisters) said her two favorite websites
are CityFarm.us
and IdealBite.com.
I had not heard of CityFarm.us, a site Morris likes
"for Martha Stewart-type projects and organic
gardening." She also recommended IdealBite.com for
eco-tips.
