I just literally stumbled across a new blog aggregation service called Gurus.com which is covering the domain industry along with blogs of some other industries. The site is using the Slogan; “one site, all the gurus”
Of course most of you are familiar with Domaining.com and NameBee.com which have been serving the domain community quite well as blog aggregators.
Gurus.com is categorizing domain blogs as: “Web Development and Domains Gurus”
The only blogs currently covered by Gurus.com in that category are: TheDomains.com, ElliotsBlog.com, DNJournal.com, DomainNameNews.com, TheFragerFactor.com and the Conceptualist.com.
I don’t know about any of the other guys, but no one from Gurus.com contacted me to ask if they could include our posts in their service and no one contacted me to tell me they were doing so. However seeing who owns it I’m willing to forgive him (read below).
Gurus.com which says it is in Beta does not currently contain any advertising.
Other Industries currently being covered by Gurus.com are:
“Financial Gurus”
“Internet Marketing Gurus”
“Pro Blogging Gurus”
“Productivity Gurus”
Now back to whom owns the domain Gurus.com?
None other than Ammar Kubba of Thought Convergence and Trafficz fame.
However this is a personal project of Mr. Kubba.
Reached for comment Mr. Kubba said about the site:
“”I envision a site that eventually aggregates blogs / information sites from experts across all fields, i.e., financial gurus, domain gurus, plumbing gurus, etc., along with a social component that allows people to comment and contribute their experiences, knowledge and opinions”
Sounds like a great plan.
I know domaining.com tried a few weeks ago to add in some non-domain blogs into its feed but got some push back since many mainstream blogs publish can publish 10 posts a day or more.
Gurus.com is laid out in sections (changed by a drop down menu) so if you just want to see just the domain blogs or just the financial blogs you can, thereby allowing all of these to co-exist without overwhelming each other.
I wish Ammar the best of luck in this new project.
Now to the really important part.
I assume the honor of being named a “Guru”, like the Nobel Prize, comes with a large cash award and a nice trophy.
Ammar you have my address.

Did you know there’s an exclusive domain conference being held at The Palms resort in Las Vegas on March 22-23? The Domain Madness 2 conference is being run by DomainConsultant.com, and it sold out within a few days. Most of the attendees are domain investors who attended last year, and a few others received personal invitations.
Last year, the conference was held in a private suite at The Palms, and I heard it was a great event. Like last year’s conference, there’s going to be a live domain auction held at the event. Bidders can bid on site or they can bid online using a platform that will be announced soon.
You are welcome to submit domain names for review, but they are looking for great domain names only. Visit the Domain Consultant website for more details on domain submissions.

Late last week I purchased the Phpbay Pro eBay affiliate plugin for Wordpress and have been playing around with it the past several days. I built 3 sites and also installed the plugin on DotWeekly to play around with it here as well, so I wanted to share a little review about it. Phpbay offers [...]

Talk about having some bad timing.
The domain ChileEarthQuake.com dropped just 2 days after the 8.8 earthquake rocked Chile.
Today the expired domain was auctioned off and sold on SnapNames.com
While we always discourage people from registering domains that take advantage of any disasters we couldn’t help but notice the irony that this domain was not renewed by its former owner and then lost the domain just 2 days after the disaster struck.
Hopefully the new owner will do the right thing and send the traffic to the Red Cross or some other reputable charity, however right now its just parked.
