		<description>I already would be happy if my expiration dates dont show as UNKNOWN.

What could be improved:

1. A delete all domains feature (currently only per page)
2. If someone changes parking co. (and nameservers) dnzoom should update parking status automatically, same for a registrar change, 
generally I dont see anytime any whois info were updated
If you dont update regularly I can go ahead with any software.
3. Portfolio: Domains expire in 30 to 60 days view (and so on) does not work), it just shows the domains that were after initial upload deleting in such a period

----answer----

Thanks for the feedback. We're aware of these issues and will fix ASAP, may take a couple of weeks though as there are currently other issues with higher priority.
Cheers

		<description>Sahar,
Would suggest that you move the contest end date to Mar 31st.
In addition, make this article to appear as the 1st post.</description>

		<description>Here are my BIDO and/or DNZoom Ideas.

1) BIDO IDEA: Have a contest everyday to guess the winning bid for the auctioned domain. First to guess closest to the winning bid wins. Sort of a domain name fantasy league.  This would give many more domainers a vested interest in the outcome of the auction. It might also provide some market intelligence for the prospective actual auction participants to look at when purchasing the name.  The daily prize could be sponsored by a Domainer type organization.  Ex: 1 Free domain a day provided by the Sponsoring Registrar.  If you publish the name (online name) of the Fantasy Bidders you also give the bidder an incentive to be more accurate in their estimates. Also, you might have a long term contest "Most Accurate Fantasy Player" over the past months auctions would win an even larger prize.  This would prevent "junk" guesses that would cloud the accuracy of the fantasy market and prevent the fantasy player from winning the "big" prize.

2) DNZoom IDEA: Some of my domain names that I would like to keep track of in DNZoom are developed sites. I would like to also check my Affiliate marketing payouts, similar to managing my PPC revenues.   You would need an API to Linkshare, Performix, Commission Junction, Amazon... .  This would broaden the market for the DNZoom tool to Affiliate Marketers and also hedge against the possibility that PPC revenues may drop to the point that development is the most efficient monetization option for domainers. By adding this feature now, you would already have in place the tools they would desire to track these other revenue stream.

I hope this help.

Great ideas, thanks!
