The Record Breaking Blog
Here's what's up, what's down, and what's going on in my record-breaking world.Saturday, January 14, 2006
I'm glad to announce that TheRecordBreakingDomain.com has two new Forum Moderators to help make the forum more active, fun, and clean so everyone can participate, meet new people, discuss new ideas, and have fun. Martin MacRae and Alex Penman have given up the opportunity of winning the $50,000 Forum Grand Prize to become the Moderators of the Forum and win a cool $7,000 when I sell this domain. I think now that the Forum has 2 other moderators to help keep it active will make it even more so. So I wanted to say thanks to the two of them for their help with this. Remember that since no one won the $2,500 monthly forum prize last month, this month's forum prize has been bumped up to $5,000, so join the forum and keep posting! We have over 50 pioneers in the forum building a long-lasting community around this whole record-breaking concept and helping support this domain!
Speaking of which, the support from people has been growing tremendously. More and more people are signing my guestbook, linking to my domain, telling friends about it, joining the forum and registering domains from my site. In fact, the 100,000 visitor mark is fast approaching, which I think may be a convenient time for another Press Release about this domain. It is absolutely humbling and flattering to see all this support only 2 months since I launched my little idea. It already looks like this domain is well on it's way to building a record-sized, record-breaking team! Remember, we're all in this together, let's show the world what we can do!
And please, do not doubt for one second that this domain is not going to (or can't) break this world record. This week Alex Tew from the Million Dollar Homepage put his last 1,000 pixels up for auction (which I think was another brilliant idea) and they have already been bid up to over $38,000 (that's over $38 per pixel!). If that doesn't prove the value of good publicity, then I don't know what does. I mean, if someone is willing to pay $38,000 for 1,000 pixels that are surrounded by literally 999,000 other pixels, then it is not THAT far-fetched to imagine someone paying 200 times more for 1,000 times more publicity, especially considering the amount of support this domain is already building BEFORE the sale!
And that support will grow exponentially soon when people all over the world start walking around with cool TheRecordBreakingDomain.com merchandise, automatically spreading the word wherever they go. So don't forget about the Graphic Design contest and the opportunity to show the world your creative spark! Four graphic designers have already submitted their designs and I suspect I'll be getting even more designs as the deadline of January 15 approaches! The voting for best T-shirt design will begin on January 16, so get your eyes ready for some serious evaluating!
I'm going to break this record if it's the last thing I do! Mark my words...
