OpenAI needs to move to their own .Brand TLD this next round.

Brings some entertainment to the DN industry.

I recently upgraded my Username with the X Handles marketplace (FirstnameLastname to just Firstname). Someone else had my name before on an inactive account (Anne Geesen aka AGeesen). It's kind of dumb they don't forward the old username to the new one....

Bad domaining is a skills issue. Two different people with the same portfolio will get different outcomes. Outbounders gets sales. How you outbound makes a difference. Those with grails can sit back and wait almost indefinitely (low upkeep, large sell price). Those guys are more akin to...
