I thought I’d try this out first on this blog and get some initial reactions. It’s part landing-page big in-your-face button, part friends profile gallery… anyway, it’s a call to action!

Ever have a list of phrases and wonder which individual words appear the most? Me too! Here’s a handy Perl command that will get the job done:
perl -F\t -lane "map{$w{$_}++} split (/ /,$F[0]); END { print qq|$_\t$w{$_}| foreach sort{$w{$b}<=>$w{$a}} keys(%w) } "
< INPUT_FILE > OUTPUT_FILE

Good Luck!
When I was getting my sea-legs in domaining, reading Frank’s latest blog post was something I really looked forward to. There was something reassuring and compelling at the same time seeing him waist high in blue tranquil water of the Caymans knowing his portfolio of generic domain names was doing the work for him.
Smash cut to Rick’s “Good morning folks!” Wow… it’s been too long without Frank’s yin to Rick’s yang. I feel like the Avatar has come and put the elements back in balance again… yes, it’s that good.
Frank is back blogging now after a long hiatus and what a come back! If you’re new to domaining read his latest post over and over again.
One thing he talks about – and I’ve made this my new mantra – are domains that “put the wind at your back”. THAT is something I now incorporate into every new domain purchase and auction bid.
If you’re a new domainer and not someone with cash to burn playing the numbers game, then I strongly advise you to take this to heart. Read and re-read Frank’s latest post…
Words of Wisdom have been found under my beer bottle cap! Now I don’t have to finish my beer before anouncing obfuscated and ambiguous phrases…

Here are some domains I thought were nice at Snapnames today. Auctions end today either at noon or 9pm PST… Good Luck!
Here are some domains I like that end at Snapnames today:
Refuse.com goes back to 1996 and was actually used by a company that sold accounting software for waste management. There are archive.org records going back to 1997. The company even still exists! Major blunder on their part for letting this generic gem expire. Bad for them, good for the 100+ backorders at Namejet, Snapnames and Pool…
If you’ve never joined an auction at either of those places for high-values domains, now would be the time to take that ride…
Here’s a link to backorder it at Snapnames >> REFUSE.com
Good Luck =D !
Here a couple of domains I really like ending at Snapnames today. I won’t be bidding on them, as they’re way above my pay-grade, but If I did have some extra scratch, I’d seriously consider grabbing these beauties:
