It's basically a referral program, or "SedoMLS light".

It looks like @Bruce used a domain search from Instant Domains to get to this lander. It could also be that he did this on a previous search and the referral cookie stuck and thus the logo is still being displayed. blueearth.ca

True, when reviewing and scanning domains (and also helping clients set up websites), I learned a lot of things about industries and business I knew nothing about. This is something I really like about our industry.

The partner logo (instant domains) blends very well in this case.

I think we did pretty well striking the balance between the "normal" customers, our domainer customers and the business. So there's nothing obvious that comes to mind that should have been directly changed. If there were any issues, we did solve them to the best of our abilities. And as for the...

Well maybe not anything, but I can try to answer :) 42 is a reference to the book I mentioned though :) Recording the interview took slightly longer.

The on phone call screening in Android works great for years already ;) I've only had one person that ended up in it with a real call so far. The translation of voicemails to text used to be a free network function at Fido, now Rogers wants to charge me for it (as does Fido now). "Visual...

I do still check and follow-up on voicemails. Actually I let many of my unknown calls go to voicemail for screening. And I somewhat expect most people to contact me by other means before calling me.

Now it makes more sense. We started talking about users selling their handles and ended up where X sells their user's "abandoned" handles :)

Yeah limiting without login is complicated and people will find ways around it and abuse it quickly. And even with a required account it can still happen.

@MarineN can bring this to the right person.

Has something changed about the X policies that I'm not aware of? If the policies are still the same posting about selling handles doesn't seem to be a smart move. https://help.x.com/en/rules-and-policies/x-username-squatting
