But what the heck, that is exactly what my blog is! My blog is in fact pointless, that’s so very true. It’s for your enjoyment and nothing more. Sure there are some good information on it (I hope), but overall most of the blog posts are not of any significant importance to anyone, not even me. I am just hoping that these posts will be interesting enough to attract viewers and readers to the blog. If you are blogs with “points”, I am pretty sure that there are a lot of blogs out there that should have some usefulness. There are technical blogs and all those serious blogs for those in suits and ties, but most will sleep after reading a few words anyway.

Anyway, I am not insulted or anything but I just need to be clear that this blog should not be taken seriously. Most of the stories are exaggerated and even fake, created out of my imagination. So if you read a story on this blog which you find to be ridiculous and not possible or even stupid, it probably is. Don’t need to get too work up about it. It’s better to just read my blog, and then forget about it.

I am also thinking of creating very unique and interesting names/titles for my blog posts which should attract some more visitors. Although some of the titles may not be related to the actual content of the blog post (hey, it’s rare though), I guess it works very well. People are attracted to the unique blog title, but when the story is different from the title, they are not pleased. I have to agree on this, it’s time for me to have a better title for my posts.

Maybe I should create a disclaimer for this blog? Sometimes some people take things way too seriously and they can’t figure the difference between a joke and what not. But if you find my blog post interesting, then please leave a comment about it.

As reported by Reuters. Yes, that’s a hell lot of money involved. I guess this is good news for both directory owners and those people involved in selling domain names. The high price paid for this domain is sure to boost sales and prices for both directories and domain names in the near future. And everyone in the domain name business is talking and possibly drooling over it. Business.com is just a business directory but the name alone is a very good draw for investors. I mean what is easier than typing business.com when you are searching for businesses? But in all seriousness, it is really worth that much? I doubt that even Microsoft.com is worth US$360 million and it is a very pretty well-known domain name. But I could be wrong, it could be worth more to Microsoft Corp but I doubt it will be worth US$360 million to others.

I don’t understand how can someone spend so much on a domain name. Sure, it is very easy to remember but if you think carefully, Google.com and Microsoft.com are not particularly easy to remember domain names either. But we all know it and I am pretty sure most of us can type out the domain name without much problems (I hope). It’s just that both Google and Microsoft had spent millions of dollars in name branding and these names are now stuck in our heads. So won’t it be cheaper to promote and brand your own name itself of getting such a domain name?

But well, I am not a millionaire. If someone has so much money to spend on a domain name, he/she probably had done something right and who am I to argue? Maybe he/she is seeing something that we mere mortals don’t? X-ray eyes or some psychic ability that can look deep into the future? Perhaps he has some grand plans for this domain name? Who knows?

And anyone knows how much my domain name (autho-rity.info and autho-rity.com) is worth? Do you guys think that one day, it is possible for someone to pay US$1 million for my domain name? Nothing compared to the ridiculous amount paid by RH Donnelley Corp though, but I guess it is enough for me.
