If you are a domainer
you
have undoubtedly been hearing a lot about Twitter.com
lately. Domainers seem to have adopted the micro-blogging
social networking platform en masse and |
|
|
many
domain bloggers frequently write about the service on
their regular blogs (DomainTweeter.com
and DotSauce.com
are a couple of good examples of this). A lot of
domainers you know are using the service (I am also on
it @DNJournal).
DotSauce even maintains a frequently updated list
of domainers on Twitter, making it easier to
find friends and informational sources that you want to
follow. For
those who haven't opened a free Twitter account yet and
are wondering what all of the fuss is about, I
came |
|
across
an incredibly detailed Twitter guide at WebDesignerDepot.com.
It is titled The
Ultimate Guide for Everything Twitter
and it truly is that, covering everything from
the basics (tweets, profiles, followers, etc.)
to more detailed topics like using Twitter to
build your business, expanding your network and
how to give your followers value. |
|
It
also mentions something domainers can readily
identify with - the importance of grabbing your
name now before someone else gets it,
even if you don't intend to use the service
until sometime in the future. Adam Strong at
DomainNameNews.com
made that exact point a few weeks back and
seeing his post is what prompted to me to open
accounts in both my company and personal names.
Soon after I started "tweeting" myself
and it isn't nearly as painful as it sounds!
There
is also a large domainer's community on Facebook.
Though the basic functions of that service are
easy enough to use, I still find parts of their
system to be inscrutable and have yet to come
across a user guide to Facebook that is nearly
as impressive as |

WebDesignerDepot's
Twitter guide. If anyone knows of one drop
me a note with the URL and I
will pass it along to others here.
