Domain blogs I follow daily

Blogging is a practice dependent on its creator’s ability and willingness to share content publicly. It also depends on their availability to deliver and share such content, so it’s not necessarily an activity that occurs daily.

I began blogging in 2005 on subjects unrelated to domains, as a practice of maintaining my connection to my Greek heritage and language. It worked wonders at the time.

In a given day, I peruse several domain-related blogs that do maintain a daily activity; my interest is focused on the following segments:

• Opinion on current, past and future events related to the domain industry.
• Independent and unbiased reporting of such events.
• Thoughts and ideas that present an active, out of the box approach to the typically mundane news.

While I do maintain a blogroll on this blog, not all of these people blog daily. My daily visit of domain blogs usually focuses on the following online publications:

• DomainInvesting.com, a.k.a. Elliot’s Blog: It presents ideas and expert advice on domain transactions and negotiations, through the personal lens of its owner.
• OnlineDomain.com – Konstantinos sleeps less that anyone I know, myself included, in order to cover domain news and gTLD reports in an inquisitive manner.
• DomainNameWire.com – In the past I playfully noted that Andrew’s dependent on USPTO patent applications and NAF decision reporting; these days, he has expanded his article repertoire to include gTLDs and other industry research.
• DomainIncite.com – Having nominated Kevin Murphy twice for blogger of the year, it’s surprising to point out that he’s not a domainer per se; his reporting, however, is excellent and well-researched.
• TheDomains.com – Mike Berkens seems to attract anything related to domain names like a galactic Black Hole; by doing so his blog remains the #1 resource on UDRP report and analysis, among other things.
• DomainPicks.com – I enjoy Mark’s writing style, and reports on his modus operandi and life, although I’m not a big fan of domain lists or droplists – something he does well, regardless.
• FragerFactor.com – Owen’s bookmarking the Internet’s news and is a great source for further research on marketing and brands.

I should include Rick Schwartz’s blog as an honorable mention, although he has taken a sabbatical recently. Hopefully, he will be back in the saddle in no time.
