There are a growing number of informative blogs writing about the domain business. Which are the worthiest? Here's my list of favorites, and why they're useful:
- ICANN Blogs: The clear winner here is the LexText blog from Bret Fausett, a lawyer and tech columnist.Just about any event or discussion of significance in the ICANNosphere gets linked on Bret's blog. Great stuff. Other daily reads include the venerable ICANN Watch blog and Circle ID, which each offer news and insight on Internet governance and the domain name system. Other ICANN watchers of note include Christopher Ambler and Karl Auerbach (CaveBear Blog), while travel blogger Ed Hasbrouck and his Practical Nomad blog provide an example of a non-domain blog getting engaged in ICANN policy debates.
- Registrar Insider Blogs: Several executives of large domain registrars maintain blogs. The most visible these days is Bob Parsons of Go Daddy
, who used his blog to write about the company's recent Super Bowl ads, and to critique the Commerce Department's decision to discontinue private registrations for .us domains. Ross Rader of Tucows maintains Random Bytes, which covers a lot of ground beyond the domain business. Right now Ross is blogging with speech recognition software after breaking his arm in a bicycle accident. There's a determined blogger for you!
- The Domain Resale Market: Sidney Parfait of DropWatch maintains the Expired Domains blog, which provides an insider look at the complex and busy world of the domain aftermarket. The Domain Weblog (Chronicles of the Domainer) has been quiet for about a month or so, but provides excellent explanations of the secondary market and how it works. The Domaining Blog is also worth monitoring.
In upcoming weeks we'll explore the best domain resources in a number of areas. Next up will be domain-related news (which doesn't all fit neatly into the blogs).
