That has to be one of the worst analogies I've heard. Personally, I'll
skip both McDonalds AND BurgerZone and pick up a Sub for $2.99, just for
the sheer health of it.
As for subscripties to this page - there are, in my opinion, a fairly
equal amount of both technical and business personalities expressing their
views here. However, since this is a TECHNICAL industry, you're likely
confused when you see execs speak geek, and geeks speak biz - we all have
to be diverse to truly succeed...
As for price - ENOUGH already, we're all well aware of the price
differences. Talk is cheap. Bitching and whining about the same issue
over and over and over again will accomplish nothing. If all you're
looking for in domains is price, a) your business model is flawed, b) get
accredited yourself - trust me, it's easy *smirk*
The domain market is slowing down, possibly due to the landrush being
over, perhaps because the speculative market has pretty much died - maybe
everyone's waiting in anticipation for some promise of capital that could
potentially be driven by the new TLD markets. IMHO, the new TLDs won't
attract much attention - the end user market recognizes the historical
.com/.net/.org's, there'd have to be some considerable marketing to
increase the worth of the new spaces.
There's MORE to this business than PRICE - if you don't get it, then
you're probably also swayed by late night infomercials and own several "As
seen on TV" products...
