Startup domain name choices are complex, and it’s important for entrepreneurs and investors to analyze the branding trends of successful startups.

    Good interview

    Tech visionaries want the best domain names because the domain name is everything but still below the idea and vision for the idea

    But Internet giants have a tech entrepreneur mindset

    and that mindset is

    How can they give their services to the public for free

    the money for the tech concept comes frome ad dollars only and yet he people using the website or services provided by the website

    the future is free paid for by business advertising

    Which will affect every business that charges fees or subscriptions to use products or services

    Great show. Thanks Tess and Michael. For those who are interested in learning about the Chinese domain market, here are some resources.

    1. 域名|Chinese Perspective (https://www.namepros.com/threads/chinese-perspective.889841/)
    I started this thread on November 1, 2015 in response to the sudden interest of Namepros members in China. The thread is still running.

    2. My site on Coreile.com

    3. LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kasseylee)
    I write 6 days a week on Chinese domains and this is my preferred venue for domain discussion.

    3. DNW.com
    From time to time I write about China mostly based on actual data obtained in China.

    I would be using recycled cardboard as part of the selling point for “brew coffee” Cheers

  4. rathead says:

    this is a much better show with only one guest and since domain shane is not on anymore it is much more enjoyable.

  5. Steven says:

    The best? CafeX – can’t wait to try it. But many investor points of light were mentioned in today’s show.

  6. Saro says:
