Domaining.com Adds Feeds – Deletes Feeds – I Add Them Back

My turn to jump on the bandwagon. As has been reported on many domaining blogs over the past few hours Francois decided to do a couple things today that frustated people:

• Added a donate button with some fairly direct language it would seem to make a point
• Added in some feeds that on the face of it seem to not be related to domaining

Well, sure the donate button probably offended some but I will let other people discuss that.

What I found interesting is that the feeds he added were feeds I had manually added into my feed list on Domaining.com, the bummer is when he removed them it removed them from my list too. Oh the horror of having to go back and spend 30 seconds adding them back in.

In all seriousness I actually appreciate the fact he tried to add some variety into the Domaining.com feed, I have said too many times before that domainers need to step back and see where domains fit into the bigger online world and make sure we understand what is happening around us. It is way to easy to get wrapped up in your own little niche and not see the  train coming.

Sites like Mashable.com, Techcrunch.com, and ReadWriteWeb.com all provide valuable insight and what they discuss actually is information that will help you plan your domain business and also help you understand what changes are coming and how to react.

I was just glad to see Francois chose great sites, as much as we domainers do not like Michael Arrington's view of domains TechCrunch is one of the sites I visit frequently, sites like Mashable keep you abreast of the social media world. We should consider these valuable sites, good try by Francois.

Well, they are added back into my feed, they were there before this and they will be there moving forward too.
