Spaceship Spaceship
The most popular discussions last week include speculation on whether GoDaddy is selling your personal information; the true value of automated appraisals; trademark infringement explained for plural names; a buyout of 30,000 Chinese LLLL.net domains in one hour; and investors share when and why they made their first domain purchase.

GoDaddy Selling Personal Information
If you have registered a domain name at GoDaddy, you’ve likely received spam in the form of services offered for SEO or web design. However, is GoDaddy selling your personal information? Simply put by GoDaddy’s Aftermarket Manager @Joe Styler, you aren’t receiving it due to GoDaddy selling your information – a more likely explanation to this is whois scraping.

Automated Appraisals
The question about the worth of automated appraisals comes up quite often in this industry. While they don’t hold their weight to some investors, others use them for the valuable information that they provide such as PageRank, inbound links, etc. on one easily accessible page. Do “domain experts” offer appraisals that are any better?

If you are going to develop a website on a domain name that is the plural of another existing and developed name, could you be liable for trademark infringement?
