Some rumor<\/strong><\/a> about Owen Frager leaving blogging and domaining behind made me worry for a while. After all, Owen is an “old timer” that precedes the digital era that many current entrepreneurs and developers were born into.<\/p>\n

In fact, Owen isn’t going anywhere and the whole thing was an apparent misunderstanding and a misquote of his intention to leave the social media.<\/p>\n

However, apparently speculation grew as Owen’s popular blog, FragerFactor.com<\/strong><\/a> was temporarily down earlier tonight.<\/p>\n

Owen has already issued an explanation<\/strong><\/a> that he’s not leaving domaining or blogging; in fact, he’s back with no fewer than three posts in a row, some of which will be leap-frogging other people’s posts in the am.<\/p>\n

But it is what it is.<\/p>\n

I like Owen Frager and because he doesn’t take any shit from anyone, including myself, I respect his way of sticking to his guns and speaking from experience. Nothing can be more aggravating than blatant disrespect from new players; that, I realized myself on several occasions.<\/p>\n

The Frager Factor brings a lot of character<\/strong> to the domain blogosphere and I’m certain that a lot of non-domainers read it, especially people in marketing and creative. So after this short hiccup, I’m glad to see Owen “back”.<\/p>\n

Speaking of speculation and rumors, the type that I thrive on rebutting is the malicious kind. But more on that later \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
