I haven’t yet had the opportunity to catch Morgan Linton’s show live, but I’ve watched a few of the recorded videos. I love it! especially the Domaining Lightning Round, where you post your domain name and Morgan gives a quick opinion of whether your domain is development-worthy or one you may want to think about off-loading. I really appreciate that he doesn’t sneer at cc tlds or hyphens, but believes, as I do, that they are development friendly and will only grow in value in the coming years.

As a domainer, I am really enjoying Morgan’s work, but more than that, he seems like a really, really nice guy. My favorite part of the show was the final thought: “It all comes down to relationships in business. And domaining, like any other business, still revolves around the idea of having to work with other people. Whether you’re sitting behind a desk or out there in front of somebody, you have to project yourself in a positive manner, and in a way that you’d actually like to be represented.” He goes on to say… “at the end of the day, you can choose whether you want to help somebody out, whether you want to expand their knowledge or whether you want to shoot ‘em down and tell ‘em to get lost.” Nice to see someone choosing to be a sharer rather than an information hoarder. It’s always been my philosophy that if you have true confidence in yourself and your abilities, you shouldn’t feel threatened or afraid to help others develop their own.

Anyway, my thanks to Morgan for a great show. Alas, I won’t see tonight’s video either, because I plan to be floating on a raft in Torch Lake. I’m in the final few days of vacation, and I’ve actually had several hours on end when I didn’t check my emails, scour expiring domain name lists, and couldn’t have even told you where my phone was. I’m so proud! Almost as proud as when I sold my first 4-figure domain name. Almost.

TTFN!
