I ordered a couple of copies of the book about domaining, “The Domain Game” by David Kesmodel. They arrived yesterday. There is a great post at Domain Tools that shows you all of the page references to different people / companies of interest.

David Kesmodel is a staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal. His new book demonstrates how many regular people have become millionaires through owning some of the most valuable domain names.

Working in the industry myself for over 8 years now, I am specifically interested in the references to people and companies I know. Just skimming through it and I am very keen to read it. I am a very slow reader, however this could be the first book I ever read from cover to cover (unless the movie comes out before I finish). I’ll definitely throw a copy next to the toilet and have the other one with me for a few weeks.

Are you looking for a new credit card? We’ve been working on some new comparison tables that allows you to compare credit cards online. Our website also has product profiles for each credit card, bank profiles and issuer profiles (Visa, MasterCard etc). The site is really gaining some traction, we are still ranked number 1 in Google for the term “credit cards” and we’re also picking up some good rankings for a lot of secondary terms.

The credit card and finance verticals are probably the most mature (affiliate) markets in Australia. It’s a very competitive space, there are lots of affiliates and businesses competing for the traffic, generally because there are actually lots of affiliate programs available.

Anyway, our credit card website has been around for a while now (about 18 months) and it is definitely the best credit card comparison site in the market. We monitor and review over 100 different credit cards from all the major banks and building societies. So if you are in the market for a new credit card, check out CreditCards.com.au.

A new game show starts here next Tuesday on Channel 9, Wipeout. The latest creation from Endemol USA (Big Brother etc). The show starts with 24 contestants who are quickly whittled down to 12 in the qualifying challenge. Some of you may remember a show around in the late 80’s called “It’s a knockout”, and of course you have seen the current “Gladitor” series on TV and possibly even “Friday Night Games” from Big Brother, well WIPEOUT is a sort of like those, only better.

Straight from the USA, only 2 episodes have aired so far (before we get it here in Australia). The 12 contestants who make it through the qualifing round continue on through additional water filled, mud pool, rubber balled, slippery and foam covered courses only to be cut in half again. The remaining 6 will battle it out in another spinning, running, falling, jumping, splashing timed course, until the final 4 are decided.

Bigger is better! In the final round, the contestants battle their way through a huge obstacle course, apparently “the biggest ever”. Whoever does it in the best time, wins $50,000 cash! Great prize. The show will air once per week and it great viewing for those who love seeing people getting pwned.

It should have been on Friday nights so you could get drunk with your friends and watch, I am sure it would be twice as funny.

This one is fun. WIPEOUT on Tuesday nights!
