Hello World, eh? (1.Viewing)

Bob Hawkes · Jan 3, 2021

... or I guess Hello DN.ca :lol:

See many familiar faces or usernames, but those who do not know me I am a retired scientist who has a hobby in domain investing and like to analyze interesting questions, and write at too great a length, probably. :-/

I have a few questions / ideas wondering about:
1. Any suggestions for a particular .ca specific analysis people would like to see?
2. What is your outlook for 2021 in .ca? (I know other threads already discussed that some)
3. Do you think there is interest in some sort of online Canadian domain name show or forum, with the idea being mainly to reach those outside the domain world (i.e. business startup owners, business news media, educators, etc.)?
4. I know a few here are also active on TheDomainSocial. Any thoughts on, not often but now and then, have Canadian only online get together.

Hope all is well with everyone, and that you have a great 2021!

Bob

Very few write with the insight, humility and researched knowledge that you do.

Hello Bob

Nice to finally see you in our neck of the woods, I was hoping you would join and give us a few ideas.

TheDomainSocial.com looks like an interesting site, I have not visited it before and I recognize quite a few people.

Bob, I noticed you did not link to the site, we do not have a lot of rules here so you do not have to worry about linking. We are all for free speech and expression.

I am looking forward to interacting with you here. *DRINK*

I just knew you were a scientist... a MAD scientist!

Welcome to the club, ask Pops for a chocolate shake, and both Jughead and Reggie should be by a bit later.

Thanks for welcome. I will get a more active presence going soon.

Re the Social, although started by Michael Cyger, it is now run by a Canadian, Arif /Ategy. He does not, I think, invest in .ca, and not sure iff he is yet on here. He has done an awesome job with it - just raised $12k in a charity auction. I was possibly meaning to see if now and then a Canadian only thing might be done there, or someone with a business Zoom account do a similar thing. I would not want to see it too often, but now and then to get to know Canadian faces would be nice.

Take care everyone,

Bob
