I know there are good domainers on Domainstate. I just wish they’d make a supportive comment now and then for new domainer ideas (or back me up when I do).

I want to see domain forums doing constructive criticism, not sneering commentary, and I’m afraid some of the members on one or two blogs and forums don’t have the overall best intention for all domainers in mind. Even I have been attacked! ME! Mr. Lovable! Imagine that.

Bido is an exciting new tool for domain sellers and buyers, all noncompetitive domainers should support your efforts to succeed and grow. It’s good for all of us. Best wishes to you and everyone at Bido and DNzoom.

You might want to rethink the single domain/domain lots decision sometime down the road. There are many owners who hold a domain in several TLDs and want to let the whole group go. And there’s probably buyers who want a domain but don’t want to then have to haggle with the seller over the other TLDs he still owns.

Like my Monster Highway site. There’s the search and content on the dot com TLD, the hosting and other offerings on the dot net TLD and our Public Service “spots placements” over on the dot org site.

While we do keep an open mind to new ideas we’re also aware we cannot be everything to everyone.

Point taken, thanks for the feedback and explanation.

First off, good luck with your new project…I have been keeping an eye on it for some time and can’t wait to see the results.

With that said, my comment(s) will deal with expectations. Expectations are usually high for a new product launch or website launch and are full of excitement and imagination…on all sides. Once you build up the expectations and excitement, it should continue to the grand opening.

So, some folks may be disappointed with the quality of the listed domains and their expectations have been somewhat diminished…the excitement lost.

I think most folks wanted to see high dollar domains and the RESULTS. What would happen to the very first domain sale on BIDO…it would or could be mind-blowing!!

So, I personally believe some excitement was lost and expectations lowered by the domain names…they are nice and will do fine but a few higher valued domains would have been “over the top” and expected…especially with the news and press releases.

Anyway, I understand the system being new/beta and one small step at a time…a very conservative approach…but I think you missed out on some opportunities for the grand opening.

Just my two cents.

Good luck and continued success.

Hi Paul, and thanks.

We understand these issues, were somewhat expected. I think we’ll be fine either way. Rome wasn’t built in one day, nor will Bido

Bido’s concept is revolutionary and sound, and soon will be a respected source of finding and selling great domains. Most real domainers know the team behind Bido are experts, and anyone who says differently are either jealous, moronic, or a competitor. To even ridicule or challenge Bido’s first efforts is tantamount to chickensh*t kiddy-school mudslinging. That falls into the “Halls of the Teeny Balls”, Domainstate.

Do real domainers actually log into Domainstate?

I could care less about anything Domainstate says about you (or me). You should take the same attitude. I really don’t think anyone serious about promoting the domain industry gives a cr&p about what certain Domainstate members say. If I was you, I would ignore them and keep up the good work you’re doing.

It reminds me of a saying I live by: “Doth the soaring eagle care about the sh*t-hovering fly?” Bido is a soaring eagle.

Hi Stephen,

I actually like reading DomainState. While not in agreement with all (is anyone ever is?) I do find many there are high quality individuals.

For example:
Cars.com/Cars.asia/Cars.mobi sold together. This is a complete package. What would be the use selling these domain names seperately.

The type of domain names I would like to see are geo domain names that have the city followed by the service.
Example -> NewYorkInsurance.com

In my books only domain names with the following endings will attract a crowd .com, .mobi, .asia, .eu and city specific endings such as .cn or .ca

Avoid .biz, .net, .info

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the feedback. To your question, we’re doing one domain per day, no groups.
