The Record Breaking Blog

I have some really exciting news. I was getting a lot of heat for having selected such a long domain to break this world record with, but what my critics weren't getting is that it's about the idea not the domain. And to prove that, yesterday I launched a play on the one red paperclip idea but with domains. That's right, I'm starting with one ugly domain and I'm going to trade it up with other domains until I end up with one worth $1 million. This will put my critics to rest and show them that ugly can be beautiful...if the idea is right. So check out www.oneuglydomain.com, submit any domains you wish to trade for my even uglier oneuglydomain.net, and get ready to vote on October 31 for which offer I should accept. This will be an interesting experiment in trading, the domain market, and the value of beauty. Who the heck knows where this will go, but it's going to be fun to find out. And when I finally prove that it's not about the domain, I will have paved the way to sell TheRecordBreakingDomain.com for $12,000,001, assuming it hasn't already sold (I love throwing 7 and 8 figure numbers around, it makes me feel important). Actually, I wonder what is more challenging, to sell this domain for $12,000,001 or to trade up oneuglydomain.net for a $1 million domain...I guess we're just going to have to find out.
