Domainer's Gazette-Home

Ever notice those guy & girl stock photos they use on NameJet and Snapnames?

I have. And I got to wondering… what’s their story?

Who are they?

As domainers, we all see them virtually every day.. so why not do a little digging to learn a little more about our domain auction friends..

so without further adieu..

Meet Joey

Joey is hip, uses ‘LA Looks’ Hair Gel, and feels he represents the ‘new’ breed of domainer.
Other domainers are hunched over a desk.
Not Joey.
He prefers domaining while lounging on his white sofa he borrowed from singer Rick James.
He enjoys wine-in-a-box and shopping at Crate & Barrel.
“whee! look! I just acquired sillyfun-gigglefactory.info!”, he says.
Joey works at the Gap to make ends meet, or at least until he “lands the big one”.

Meet Belle

Belle’s a smart one.
She’s been domaining since late 1994, and has some top notch names under her belt.
Thing is, she spends a bit too much time domaining, and her beau, Sampson, is growing tired of her long days in the office.
Sampson recently gave her an ultimatum, “Me, or the domains”
Sampson isn’t going to like that answer.

Meet Merle

Merle has been up for 5 days straight domaining. No sleep.
Living off Red Bull, Code Red, & Coco Puffs.
His Mom worries about his health, but Merle blows it off, “C’mon Mom, I’M FINE..get off my back!”
Merle shouldn’t raise his voice to his mother.

Meet Pappy

Pappy used to sell refrigerators at Sears. For 23 years actually.
He’s been referred to as a “walking encyclopedia on refrigeration”
Then Best Buy moved into the neighborhood.
He got canned and was forced to take a job at a startup. A startup domaining company.
His boss is 24 years old.
Pappy once asked his boss what kind of refrigerator he had at home.
His boss didn’t answer and quietly closed his office door to avoid any follow up questions..

I’ll be sure to check in on Joey, Belle, Merle, and Pappy from time to time, and make sure they’re doing ok. When I do, I’ll make sure to post an update..

..let’s all thank them for making every day a domainer day!
