Yes, can't sell it for five bucks, but at snapnames, xxx,xxx, for sure, lol. Isn't that the way it goes?

What the hell is a blook?

I had to look it up too. From wikipedia:

A blook can refer to either an object manufactured to imitate a bound book, an online book published via a blog, or a printed book that contains or is based on content from a blog.

Just because GD has a $6.21 renewal foe .com I just renewed BlookBits and DiscussBlooks.

I get a kick out deleting the spam at Discuss. Bits PR has dropped from 4 to 2 which is no surprise considering I was using it to play with different CMS scripts.

I am starting to wonder why I keep any names at GD. Hell there are days when I get more GD junk (borderline spam IMHO) than the true spammer scum and trying to do anything on that site reminds me of the 14.2 dialup days.

Well at least you had the sense to check it out unlike others who ask the question " what is--"

Age of the web and free info - duh! :td:

I turned off all my free email accounts at GoDaddy entirely because of the amount of spam it generated

If anyone has any interest in blook.tv, please pm me. It is coming up for renewal shortly... Not sure if I am going to renew it or not.

 

[RogueWriter]

Hey fonzie, I'll trade ya, blookumentary.com for blook.tv. Might be the first blook trade in the history of the world, lol. It would save you $20 in renewal fees, lol.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll still with blook.tv for the time being. If someone want to offer me a few bucks for it, I may let it go.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but...

'Blog', 'cookie', 'wiki' top list of hated Internet words: poll


...and "Blook" came in 5th...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070621/tc_afp/britaininternetlanguage_070621120604

 

[RogueWriter]

Wow, I think "spam" "enhance" "cialis" "viagra" "munky" "x10" would be the ones I dislike most.

Hmm, it says "blook" was fourth.

But those are some really annoying words. I can live with "blog" since it's so used now, same with "wiki" -- but, like RogueWriter mentioned, throw those words on the list.

Nice find.

Yeah, but I was also thinking "cybersquatter"...

Hmm, it says "blook" was fourth.

I thought so too when I first skimmed it, but:

"netiquette", or Internet etiquette, came fourth and "blook", a book based on a blog, was fifth.

Never heard of the word "Blook" before this.

Is the domain you have Blook.com or http://www.lulublookerprize.com/?

I dropped most all of my blook names. Goes to show what hype can do. Senseless registrations based on hopes without reason.

 

[Grrilla]

hehe

I knew the risks. I deemed the idea worthy of speculation so I invested 1%-2% of my yearly registration expense into it and gave it a year. I won't be putting that into the pot for renewals this year but I am keeping a couple as a hedge just in case , including a typo that gets some modest traffic.

You know the drill, Lee. You win a few and lose quite a few more. At least the concept was rational which is more than I can say for some of the mad cap schemes that I've gotten involved with from time to time.

BTW. It's good to be back. Looking forward to catching up w/ news and will have an update on some solid if not spectacular sales that I've had since last we spoke.

PS Lee- I hear you on the hype. Most of my wasted money has been the result of overbuying on the supposed next hot new widget that's coming along. In most cases, it's been registering the long lists or feeling like I'm in a frantic race that's been where I've gotten caught. Usually a couple of well thought out, choice names from a new group are more than ample for the average portfolio, IMHO.

Good plan -- those few domains you kept may be worth the pennies you're putting into them now (pennies, in terms of potential payout in the future).

Being the impatient person I am, I cashed out on Blooks while their hype was just beginning, and I found myself $140 richer. :tu:

I'm with you. I only regged half a dozen names (kept 2 good ones) but flipped blook.info for 10X what I paid on Sedo. I guess the reason I brought up this article was that there's (seemingly) no value to the word and yet it ranks 5th in the list of the webs most hated words - words everyone has heard of. Go figure...
