WHAT'S UP GUYS!!!!
... long time no see/hear
so i'm popping my head in here from time to time and figured i'd touch base and light the fuse a bit... a couple of points, couple of findings and a couple of drops i happily caught.
so i have received a bunch of contacts recently asking about the holo names.
yes - i'm still in it to win it - doubling down even... and the contacts , they have definitely increased over the past year, although, truth be told, not many substantial offers with those contacts. (Those that are reporting they have turned down thousands of dollars of offers for some of these lower tier names i see here are tickling your asses
... just sayin'
as far as the holo/holographic/hologram discussion
... i believe i have seen more "holographic" sales than holo OR hologram sales combined. I could also be wrong about this but you rarely see a 'holo' sale... (yes, i see your holohealth reporting) with that said, i still agree the big money and the better marketing is in the shorter, sweeter HOLO - BUT - if you are going to shorten HOLO - then if the next word can be shortened - shorten that one also and forget about the longer version.
(What?!) haha
• eg: "Holographic Laboratories" - the target here is just "holoLABS" - NOT "HoloLaboratories"
• eg: "Holographic Camera" - the target here is just "holoCAM" - not 'HoloCamera"
• eg: "Holographic Navigation" - the target here is just "holoNAV" - not "HoloNavigation"
i do not find this to be a blanket rule as not all words can be shortened nicely like these examples - but when there is an opportunity to do so - TAKE the shot!!
I have "HoloBroadcasting" and for me? "holoCASTING" is what i really want here.
--------
there was a name i really wanted and was never able to get a hold of. it dropped a few years ago and someone else beat me to it and i was crushed about it. It was a holo PURE brandable but i loved the name. I sought this name out in the aftermarket and offered this person a few hundred dollars for this name and they came back with a very high counter in the five figures (i honestly think it was much higher) so i walked away, resigned to the fact that i will never have that name... another reason i wanted this name was because i had a great name to pair it up with.
Yes, it was a shortened name to go along nicely with Holo.
Well, i guess the owner forgot to renew or gave up entirely on holo but i'm real excited to say that i finally won the name at auction last week and am just waiting for the name to hit my account before i reveal.. should hit on the 20th! SO excited about this name!!
and in other catches, i recently won
holoMEETINGS/com at auction.
very happy with this one too.

RE: Holo vs VR
i thought so THEN, and have not changed my thinking on VR.. i am convinced more and more that VR, while cool as hell, still has a LOT of limitations and will never reach the potential that holo has.

RE: Holo + new gTLD's
haha... just WHY??
there is nothing more to say about this topic.. is there??

RE: Holo as 'HG'
... this will NEVER be a thing... holding on to that thought pattern is only going to make you look silly and cost you a lot of money in the process... if you missed the holo train.. i'm sorry.. we can't board every train that rides... i missed out on a lot of great rides myself, but HG for Holo is not going to happen.

and finally, some of you might enjoy this road i'm about to send you on...
for those of you who don't already use 'Google Alerts' for any of your existing names/websites/future tech/etc.. - you are really missing out! i highly advise you to srt this up as soon as possible if not already set up.
i got an alert for one of my names, "TheHoloNetwork/com" - i like this name and actually prefer it to the shorter holonetwork (think 'the movie channel' vs 'movie channel')
anyway... HOLO is
ALSO being used for a new crowd funding, cryptocurrency - HoloFuel -part of the HoloChain..etc...
their goal, in a brief nutshell, is to DE-centralize the internet with this new method of P2P hosting and sharing. (they say the word HOE LOW.. (Long O)
so i grabbed
Holo-Fuel/com and
Holo-Chain/com (yes, both hyphenated)
Take some time and look into it. It's VERY early in its development, but a lot of good things are being written and said about this... and now - HOLO has a new use outside of our original intentions... the Holo Network is a 'thing' here.. and so is a 'Holo Marketplace'
Let me know how you make out.
