you have 100 domains? Why?
I have six or seven, two for me, one for my kid, and others are vanity domains for friends.
Most busineses need to cover the TLDs, so they have .com, .net, etc. but that is mostly due to Network Solution’s greed.
August 26th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Sorry Cali, but I have no domain names. Whenever I’m in the market, I’ll give your codes a try. They’ve been burned in my brain by now, a two-year Geekbrief fan. Feel blessed, I love you guys.
August 26th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
I have about 6. Mostly for personal and/or family use.
August 26th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
I have about 6 or so, and I used your godaddy codes to get them all.
Thanks,
August 26th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Only one… I put everything as a sub domain. What are you doing with 100 domains?
August 26th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
LOL!
I think four hours is my limit in coach. Beyond that I need more leg room. InsideTrip sounds like information overload brought to the flying experience. My kind of fun.
Shelfari sounds VERY cool. I’m a huge fan of bookshelves as self-expression. Checking this out tonight.
Finally, yeah, I’ve only got 21 domains. You guys are beating me by a mile!
August 26th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
I had about 10 domain names, but I’ve sold a few recently :) It’s quality, not quantity :) hehe, I’ve been a member of Shelfari for a while now, but I haven’t really used it as much as I could, if I found enough time to read in the past. So what is your Shelfari member name Cali?
You know you’re addicted to the Brief when you get up at 4:45am to watch it.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Right now, I have about 27 domain names. I will probably be buying about 5 more this week. And yes, I used the GeekBrief codes for most of them. :)

Hmm, can’t say I am impressed about Shelfari. Librarything does a much better job, IMHO. Can also be nicely widgetted into a site.

I own four domains at the moment and have owned two others in the past. As a cash-strapped two-job (plus writing and Web work) guy with a two year old, it’s hard for me to justify more than that. But every once in a while I think about picking up a new one to try out the Go Daddy experience (I use Name Bargain now).
August 27th, 2008 at 9:45 am
As of today my company owns 317 domains. Several for turf protection, we also purchase .net, .org, .name, etc.
GoDaddy loves me and I have my personal concierge who calls periodically. (No it’s not Danica, I can wish…)
BTW, I have 383 expired domains, trying to save money, you know.
August 27th, 2008 at 11:00 am
I’ve only got one of my own. But I have a subdomain on another site.
August 27th, 2008 at 11:02 am
I have 87 domain names! Yee-haw!

I have two. One for personal use, and one for an organization I volunteer web services for.

Hi Cali,
I don’t know how many domains I have under my control.
Personally I think I own under 30
But, for some of my projects, (I do not want to do SPAM, so I will not mention all the project names).
I will say:
- 80 for project X based in Switzerland
- more than 300 for another Canadian based project
- arround 125 for a project based in Paris
- and controlling more than 300 in a Non-profit project where we help other non-profit with internet related things… (well in that case those domains doesn’t belong to us)
Then smaller projects normally has between 4 and 15 domains .COM/.NET/.ORG, minimum, and then name (s/Z, plurarls… variations…
Note: all those domains names are not for sell, we are using it all of them.
I hope it will help you!

I bought two domains ‘just in case’, but since I don’t know waht I’m doing they are not hosted.
Used your code for one, but used Chris P’s for the other.
Godaddy has some of the best costumer support I have ever experienced! I don’t even host my sites right now, but they are constantly calling and making sure everything is okay. Not in an annoying way. They seem genuine.
I just don’t understand why internet only sites seem to be the best with costumers nowadays.
Love the domo from #412. Its great that I have a resource for real sci-fi/tech news with your site.
Shelfari rocks!
Thanks!

Cali,
We have about 12-15 domain names that we have purchased using GBx codes. We also use lots of other services from GoDaddy, and we use the codes for as well. Thanks for providing them… :-)
We run a small website design company and we are always looking at shiny, happy, new technology. Woopra is very cool and we jumped on that band wagon right away.
Anyway, love the show have watched since the early episodes. I am also a big fan of the “big trip” idea, two more years of school for my son and we plan on taking the business on the road as well. We are waiting and watching to see how it all turns out for you.
Thanks & good luck!
-Jim

65 so far, with all in the last year being purchased with one of your codes. Love me some Geek Brief!
August 28th, 2008 at 4:50 am
I just counted them up, and I personally own 39 domains across 3 registrars. Most have content, but some I have been holding onto because I plan to do something, and that something never seems to materialize.
August 28th, 2008 at 11:06 am
I have 5 domains, all of them are for friends or my websites. Or just for fun, like lulz.ch. :)
August 28th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
I have 37 most are for my business http://www.goldsteinmedia.com but some are just impulsive buys!
August 29th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Its a few days late, but from what I know about Panasonic, the “Three Sacred Treasures” bit is kind of a play on what they built their name on back and what Japanese consumers mostly wanted in the 1950s, refrigerators, washing machines and TVs.
So in this case, the modern “Three Sacred Treasures” are Blu-Ray, High quality sound, and a Big-Screen TV.
August 29th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Awesome! Thanks for the explanation.
September 10th, 2008 at 12:03 am
I have about 50 domains which are mostly business related. Several are names that I just wanted to retain control “just in case” because they are variations of my main site.
I must admit that several of the domain names I own have been purchased on a whim when Cali gave a GoDaddy plug, and most of those just forward to Geekbrief.tv. like ShinyHappyTechNews.com…….I just like Neal and Luria and appreciate the hard work they put into the podcasts.
