Domain8 Catches Aussies by Storm
by Michael Gilmour on Aug.20, 2009, under News
Michael Gilmour: For the six weeks I’ve been testing “domain8” which is a relatively new service in the Australian drop catching industry.

Michael Gilmour: OK, it’s official, I’m absolutely hooked on development. For the great mass of domains in your portfolio parking is currently the only scalable solution but for the few select domains then I’d highly recommend that you develop them out.

by Michael Gilmour on Aug.14, 2009, under News
Michael Gilmour: Over the past few weeks I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. What I’ve been thinking about is how the new Yahoo/Microsoft alliance can beat Google and what strategy they could adopt that would place them on a stronger footing than Google.

Domain Portfolio Sales System
by Michael Gilmour on Aug.01, 2009, under News
Michael Gilmour: In my last Saturday musings I wrote about the fact that I’ve been approached a number of times to see if I could source domains to purchase for potential buyers. I then wrote down a set of guidelines that I thought could be useful if domain owners would like to sell their domains through whizzbangsblog.
What I didn’t expect was the f…

by Michael Gilmour on Jul.29, 2009, under News
Michael Gilmour: For a start I would like to apologise to everyone for the server being offline yesterday. I woke up and everything was fine in “serverland” and as normal I sat down at my desk to begin another day’s work to suddenly have all hell break loose.
My server that has been working faithfully for years suddenly decided to reboot itself. In i…

Saturday Musings – new features
by Michael Gilmour on Jul.17, 2009, under News
Michael Gilmour: I thought that it would be a good idea to highlight a number of new features for whizzbangsblog so that readers can get the most out of them. The first thing that I’d recommend is to ensure that you login each time you check the site out this will open up all of the areas on whizzbangsblog and make them accessible to you.
