After posting this morning showing "Sensitive Info" on Tasted domains and the process, I created a bit of a stur from several people. The fact is, I like to help and that is what I am going to KEEP doing. If you don’t like it, to bad! Tasting is not a brand new thing. so if you think that you are the only one that is doing a "process" Your Not!

In my post this morning, I exposed two processes that fuel Redrops.com and it reved up a couple people that I exposed this info. James was one, and a couple emails as well. I am happy to say, the Happy people are more then the upset! See the Comments.

Jorge "Pixelbug" Martinez made several great points, so I wanted you to see them, as I know many do not check out the "comments".

"This is my first time commenting here but not my first time on the site. (It’s been a great resource Jamie, thanks). In the future, I’ll be taking a more active role on the many blogs I visit primarily because that’s what keep site’s like this alive — communication.

As a professional in the advertising industry, I know the significance of communication. On the outside, we communicate brand messages every day. Internally, we communicate amongst each other. Coming from different backgrounds — copywriters, designers, developers, technologists etc., we all have much to bring to the table. But every now and then you get an individual who is insecure and feels threatened by sharing what they know. Funny how they are also the ones with the biggest egos half of the time. Keeping things secret serves no one. Not even one self. In the long run, you are limiting your own growth. Here I thought the advertising world was cut-throat… in comes the world of Domains.

I’m two years into this industry and quickly learning the ins and outs. I know that behind it all is the Almighty dollar! But if you want to be truly successful, get a clue! It’s more than that. When you figure it out, you’ll realize that success starts there.

I’m currently working on launching my own blog filled with insight that hopefully will help Domainers who are DEVELOPING their domains. IMO, I’ve seen many domains that were bought/sold for millions but the site itself is a disappointment in the areas of usability, branding, copy etc. — drop the ball in those areas and you could potentially lose visitors = lose $ = :`(  Since I’m not an expert on domains, I will not be the one to talk about industry news (of course if I come across something valuable long the way worth sharing I will), instead I will be offering ideas on how to develop your domains, via brand, messaging, creative etc. That will be my contribution. I hope it’s as helpful to others as this blog and other sites have been to me.

I commend you Jamie and hope that you and others are encouraged to share what they know."

Thank you Jorge!

UPDATE: from Jorge to be clear…

Your follow up post "Communication and Sharing! Helping others Learn" while titled perfectly does change its direction once you get into the description. I would like to address this since I do not wish your readers to misinterpret MY PARTICIPATION in what I do.

My response was to an article on "Tips for using Redrops.com" and drop schedules in general — NOT to domain tasting:

"After posting this morning showing "Sensitive Info" on Tasted domains and the process" — your post

Buying dropped domains is something very different than domain tasting. I research what I buy before I buy. To each his own I say, I just don’t practice it. So I ask that you please follow up and point it out.

Thank you.
