I grabbed a few URLs for about 7 bucks each just for the heck of it. I have a lot of PayPal money to burn from a flurry of ebay auctions. I may try a different blog software for each one, just to test out the new features. The URLs are:
www.bikeisthenewblog.com -- A place to stash my bike commuting, bike racing, bike lifestyle, and bike tech thoughts. The URL is a play on Pink is the New Blog of course.
www.bikeisthenewgreen.com -- Because I couldn't decide if I should focus on the environmental benefits of bikes, rather than any old topic. I think I could get some good traffic if I focused a bit. I believe bikes are one of the easiest ways to improve a community, alieviate traffic, save gas, and get some extra excersize in the process.
www.bittmania.com -- A silly reference to Mark Bittman from the New York Times. Bittman is the Minimalist food columnist who so many New Yorkers follow religiously. I'll use it as a place to poke fun of the foodie scene in the City, and comment on the writings of Frank Bruni, Burros, Fabricant, Asimov and Bittman himself. If you know these names, put down the Times and back away slowly. I'll stash some of my own ideas on cooking, booze, other lifestyle bits, and stuff about Top Chef.
I received a very nice customer service call the day after I purchased MrAnchorman.com for a whopping seven bucks from GoDaddy. I was so surprised I actually stayed on the line for about 5 minutes to chat with the rep. They wanted to make sure I was happy with the service, see if I had any questions or needed tech support. I don't since I have very few blogging needs at this point. So far GoDaddy has every telecom, tech, banking, and car company beat for friendliness in my experience.
For example, my 2004 car already needed two new tires and a pair of rotors after only 22,000 miles. They're weren't particularly nice about explaining themselves and merely tossed the dirty rotors in my trunk to prove I needed new ones. I called U.S. headquarters to make sure this isn't out of bounds and they told me rotors go bad quickly on "performance" cars driven hard. Whatever. My driving is almost all highway. I won't mention the name of the maker yet but I can tell you, few consumers would associate the brand with pedal-stomping performance.
Btw, you can find discount codes for GoDaddy all over the place. SoccerGirl even posts them on her chest. Another good source is the gangmembers of Gillmor.
