Letting your opinion be known and asking others to share their's as well is not mob mentality. If we don't let people who operate in this manner know that there are many of us that are against their way of doing business, how can we expect things to change?

I've been very happy with moniker.com. I have 73 domains with them. They're inexpensive, I like their web interface, and I've had no trouble with them at all.

according to a tweet from July, they aren't accepting any more pitches. http://twitter.com/virginpitchtv

We're soon launching an alternate reality role playing game to inspire players to make positive changes in their lives and help create a better world. http://childrenofthestars.com

I just tried to login to Quora and discovered that I, Blue Cobalt (true legal name), have indeed been blocked as well. Quelle surprise!

I understand their tired reasoning, but don't agree with arbitrarily forcing your users to do anything.

I've messaged them and am awaiting a reply.

I've been reading great things about advertising with Stumbleupon. One person told me that it's $.05 per view, and you're getting targeted views based on the type of sites that people are interested in. https://www.stumbleupon.com/ads/

I don't have any firsthand knowledge yet, but we're going to try it out later this month and I'll post a report on how it works for us after we launch.

Working on my startup, getting ready to launch this month, although I think its wonderful that the rest of my nation is really into a Superb Owl.

This is incredible. I remember salivating over the Fairlight many moons ago.

I've been practicing zazen for the past 6 years, and highly recommend it for clearing the mind, being more aware of everything, the oneness of it all, and your place and responsibility as an individuation within it all. 30 minutes to an hour, sitting, preferably in front of a white wall, but variations are good. Eyes open, gazing softly, breathing deeply but without forcing of any kind, and just be. Observe the thoughts and emotions that rise and fall within the bodymind without judgment, pulling toward or pushing away. Just be and breathe. If you notice your mind wandering, just bring yourself back to the wall and the breath.

I've also found many teachings of awakened Zen Masters to be very helpful, such as Dogen or Hui Neng, but am completely non-religious and non-dogmatic. I would not consider myself a zen buddhist, as that's just a concept, a categorization. The information and success of the tools in cultivating awareness is what's important, not the dogma or labels.
