Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
If I was thinking about how to automatically assign value, one way might be to bump the price depending on how long it was registered for. If the same person had it registered for 20 years, it probably also has SEO reputation that could be valuable.
That makes sense I guess. From the old layout it looked like it had been there at least that long. As far as I can tell from googling, there’s only one other entity apart from me that is likely to ever want it, though.
Go for a .nz. More expensive but I even managed to find a two character one!
.nz is really cute. I have a .co.nz already though but I wanted the .com because that way if someone goes there by accident it still works.
Ah yes, that makes sense. I guess if they are expecting $30k for it then they will just keep it indefinitely since it only costs them $10 a year.
I think they will too, unless the other entity trademarks it and goes after them for domain squatting.
On the other hand one of the perks of being this old is I have always owned my lastname .com so I feel like a bit of a spoilt brat being indignant I can’t have this other thing as well! 😅
On the one hand I’m sad because my name is so common I’ll never be able to own it as a domain, but on the other hand employers googling me have no chance of finding my escapades 😅
