Blook - It's nearly that time

[wot]

Renew or not in April :?

Maybe this will help.

"The term blook is one of a short-list of new words being considered by a panel of experts for inclusion in the Oxford English Dictionary according to an article which appeared in the news blog of Guardian Unlimited in October of 2006 and is a runner-up for Word of the Year according to that article."

I dont know, maybe I dont get around the net enough, but the only place I've ever seen the word was on NP

 

[End User King]

Wot weren't you the one who introduced Namepros to Blooks?
If my memory serves me correct it was HowtoWriteaBlook.com

 

[Damion]

Yeah, it was him if remember correctly He got us all hooked!

If it makes you feel any better, they appear to be taken quite seriously:

That contest is run by a website who sells independent publishing services... Therefore, it seems more like a marketing gimmick than an authoritative affirmation of the blook industry... Who knows though.

hookblook doesnt sound very healthy to me....

 

[MadAboutDomains]

I said it would fail... It was just someones attempt as a spin off from "Blogs"!

People always to create new things from the latest big thing, but they never take off... they never have.

 

[loscocco]

i have never heard it out on NP either.

blooks = dead. I made $30 off of it (one of the lucky few)

So, the general opinon is that a new word, only 7 months down the line, that is likely to be added the english dictionary and is under consideration for word of the year is a failure - hmmm

There are a lot of words in the english dictionary now that no one cares about

Hey wot unit,
I am still on board and biding my time except that I will let all but my 3 or 4 best names drop. Top Blook Sites is just sitting waiting for the next period of interest.

But what do I know.

For those who say there is no such thing as blook outside NP & Lulu look at http://storyblook.blogspot.com

There are more but don't have the time to dig right now.

I tend to agree, but it does mean there will be a premium harvesting time around June next year as I am sure others will let some potential goodies go.

To be in this business and to consider "new trends" dead in the water after a short time in my opinion means you won't be very successful (I make a nice retirement income supplement buying and selling names). I have held names 3/4 years before getting buyers - why should this be any different :?

Drop em whenever you like, sharks will be patrolling the waters :hehe:

Yes, I noted how badly blogs have failed, along with .mobi etc

Perhaps Futurology is the next big thing, you will need vision for that :hi:

"new trends" wot?

Doesnt seem to be a trend first off.

Second off, having to MANUALLY search google for mentioning of the word "blook" already shows how far off mainstream.

3rd, great theres a blook competition- so what?

And congrats on earning retirement income, I will stick to my quick buy and sell technique (well not buy but reg). Its already netted me some solid income (though probably not retirement income).

Cool site.... just inspired me to try a "blook site" with my daughter.

However I've had almost zero interest from blook buyers. I feel I have some strong names too ..... They are soo strong they wont let go of me and I still have them :td:

I was questioned for selling amidst the hype. Made 1000% return in 2 weeks. Perhaps I could have made more if I held, but I like to sell into the hype. I'll let several drop and hold onto myblooks .com as an option play.

Ohhh, forgot about MyBlook.info :D

As always time will tell.

I do both damitssam , look for future trends and reg and hold. Also reg and sell quickly , 9 .mobi most recently. The most successful combination - .co.in , regged some 800+ , sold 600+ quickly for a total substantial sum, retained a bunch of premiums for the future.

As I said , a few months is far too short to determine a trend, even blogs , the best names were regged 5/6 years ago and it is the last 2 years that have seen the major sales.

It also comes down to what works for the individual which of course is not the same for everybody- but what a fun biz it is. :hi:
