I use what ends up being a HUGE SQL query to pick out potential names to watch. The query grew over time to accommodate “hot” keywords, keywords found in recent high sales reported in the DN Journal, keywords I just happen to like, and other popular patterns… Read the rest of this entry »
I’ll be letting the D.R.T. decide most of today’s drops — my eyes just can’t keep up with it. Over the course of next week, I’ll be programming an interface to let Members pick what names to watch. The benefit being that if YOUR pick is registered by someone, YOUR affiliate ID for Moniker or GoDaddy will be used and YOU will get paid. I’d like to try it as scanning the drop list manually is too physically challenging and I’ve been doing it for months everyday now… Read the rest of this entry »
I changed the version of PHP on this site now it’s acting a little funny, for example I can’t add images to posts anymore 
There are a few REALLY good names dropping today, I hope to get one or two, or have the Tasters get them and pick them up later… Read the rest of this entry »
Some very cool names dropped today including vono.net. It looks like Snapnames is holding on to this one as it didn’t switch to the public auction nameservers or a buyer’s nameservers (happens if there is only one backorder), but instead switched to the generic Snapnames nameservers. I’ll try to keep an eye on this one… Read the rest of this entry »
I’ll be out during most of today’s Live Chat + Drop… shame, because there are some nice names dropping. I’ve started a second scanner to give better performance during the Drop. Here are my picks for today:
semidark.com
ibizaexpress.com
fullsurround.com
xe1.net
stepdown.net
mestream.com
talkmill.com
33633.net
reliablehomeloan.com
Enjoy the Drop! Good Luck!
Innovation marches on here at GoDrops.com. Today during the Live Chat + Drop, finally, members will have the ability to choose names to add to thier personal WATCH LIST. Names that are identified as Tasted will now also appear in the Available Name Feed during the Live Chat + Drop. While not being “available” right away, they likely will be soon… Read the rest of this entry »
Today’s Sponsor of the Live Chat + Drop is Starbucks Coffee. I wish I was drinking some right now, but the economic downturn has emptied the coffee fund leaving nothing but used stir straws and biscotti crumbs. I can barely read the drop list today because someone (you know who you are!) stepped on my glasses. Apparently squashing them just a couple microns in any direction can cause massive headaches — and I feel like I’ve just spent 3 hours on the Spinning Tea Cup Ride at Disneyland.

Just a reminder that GoDrops.com is also using Twitter. I’ll throw out a decent domain once in a while and give site updates there: announcements of auctions, features, etc… In other developments: since the voting up (STAR) and down (BOMB) of domains has been popular, I can now add a “Popular Domains” Feed.

After hand-combing the Drop List today, I’ve decided to get back on the horse full-time and make sure I get all my picks in before the drop. There are just TOO many goodies that the auto-pickers miss. Luckily, some of those were caught by Tasters today and will drop again soon. Read the rest of this entry »
Did CrawfordRanch.com drop today? You cannot keep your eyes off the drop list! This was a D.R.T. pick today, but I neglected to really comb it over. Well, Bush is OUT anyway, so maybe not such a hot name right now, but I’d be hard pressed NOT to get this at Reg Fee if given the chance!
