Often, I’ll come down to the local coffee shop and work an hour before moving on to the real” office. It’s great… there NEVER anybody in the back room =)

So while everyone is scouring what’s left in the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction, HERE are some goodies that offer value at reasonable prices:

GoDrops Going Mobile and Today's Sponsor
Upon securing a $20/mo data plan and an internet-enabled phone, GoDrops.com is now poised to go mobile. The basic mobile site is live now, the only thing remaining is to mobile-ize the Live Drop + Chat during the daily .COM and .NET domain drop. The home page switches to the Live theme everyday from 11am to 1pm PT, but this presently doesn’t work on mobile devices… hang in there!
Today’s sponsor is the domain auction for Underwriters.info scheduled to start October 29, 12:01 pm EDT – mark you calendars! Here’s what you need to know:
Now Accepting Advertisers!
GoDrops.com is now accepting direct advertisers! We’ve been online now for almost two years and continue to bring in the goods everyday by providing the best quality dropping domain names and hosting the Internet’s only Live Chat + Drop where GoDroppers can chit-chat, network and get valuable advice while watching .COM and .NET domain names drop as they’re deleted from the registry.
If you’ve got a service, anything from domain registrations, hosting, mini-site development or SEO consulting, check out our new advertising rates and get on board today!
Pumping it Up at GoDrops!
GoDrops engineers have been busy adding new features to the site on a near-daily basis! First up are two daily updated lists, for the .ORG and the .US domain drops. My favorites are the .ORG names… a lot of decent ‘green’ and ‘community’ names popping up everyday.
Next up, there’s a chatbox open for friends of GoDrops on Twitter. If GoDrops is following you, then feel free to have a quick meeting here.
Oh, and the braggin’ page is back open. Only GoDrops members can access it to avoid domains being indexed by Google, so show off some of the great names you’ve found here! I know many people who have flipped to end-users and other domainers at the forums and even at Bido!
Enjoy the new features! Let me know if anything is missing you’d like to see on the site!
Theme Upgrade In Process!
Hang in there, there’s a theme upgrade happening right now. GoDrops engineers are busily updating and re-vamping the site so get your hard-hats on! The new theme is a modified version of the Adminizio WordPress free theme. Look out for some cool new features and regular updates, such as the daily .ORG drop pick list.
We’re still doing the Daily Live Chat + Drop everyday at 11am PST. Just stop by the home page between 10:30am and 1:00pm PST to join in the fun!
GoDrops Now with More Twitter
We’ve got some GREAT new chat features including Twitter integration, avatar support and “quick-response” links. Tomorrow, we’ll be introducing a brand new feature “quick-reviews”. Here’s how the quick-response chat features work:
From any name on the live domain drop feed, you can “fav” it, “hate it” and now you can ask the room to “rate it” for you. Here’s an example of how the rate it works… Read the rest of this entry »
The Next Couple Days
I’ll be out of the Internet’s reach the next couple days, but have no fear! I’ve already pre-selected the names for the drop and they’re ready to go. Most of the functionality of the site has been restored except the abililty to “fav” names — adding them to the scanner and receiving emails when they drop — but that’s coming back really soon.
If anything DOES go wrong, feel free to hit me up with a DM or message on twitter at http://twitter.com/godrops. Thanks! And enjoy the drops!
New GoDrops Theme Is Live
I’m building the site back up using the new theme. Don’t worry, I’ll be adding back the Daily Result, My Drops, My Favorites and Search pages soon. Hang in there!
Oh, if you do spot something that doesn’t seem to be working, just leave a comment here, I’ll get to it as soon as possible. Thanks!
