Here's the The Lowdown from DN Journal,
updated daily
to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry.

Charlotte's Web:  With Debut of DomainQueen.com Industry Veteran Charlotte Gilbert Offers a Different Take on the Domain Business

OK, so maybe Charlotte Gilbert doesn't own the entire web, but the uncommonly bright and personable domain industry veteran has just staked out a special corner of it with her new blog - DomainQueen.com - that launched today. Yep, there are already plenty of domain blogs around but you can bet this one will be different, because Charlotte is different (in the best possible way). 

While Charlotte enters the blogosphere with a long and successful track record in domains and development (and all of the disciplines associated with them, like SEO and online marketing) you can expect the Savannah, Georgia native's writing to reflect her good nature and primary love - the people in our industry - rather than the underlying mechanics of the business. 

Charlotte noted DomainQueen.com will be "a positive blog about the people who make all of this happen, from selling a name, to building out a site, to advertisers, to media moguls etc...there are so many of us in this industry who have many talents and more connections than are immediately known," she said.

With DomainQueen.com now on the scene you can expect to start hearing more about those talents, connections and previously

unexplored pastimes. Charlotte has already rolled out one feature - a series of interviews in which industry folks do their best to answer 15 (occasionally off the wall) questions with frequently funny and unexpected - even bewildering - results. You've never seen the people you know and love answer questions like these (I did mention Charlotte's blog would be different didn't I?)

You don't have to just read the interviews, Charlotte also invites you to do the interview yourself. I haven't turned mine in yet, but I will. The problem is, with questions like "A cat walks into the room wearing a leisure suit. What does he say and why is he here?" I'm afraid that once I get started I may never find my way back out of the rabbit hole! 

None the less, I will do it, I swear. I'm not going to chicken out when people like Braden Pollock, Brandon Abbey and Donny Simonton have stepped out of their comfort zones

and picked up the gauntlet (actually, now that I think of it, questions from the other side of the looking glass are right in Braden and Donny's wheelhouse - but I'm not going to let their home field advantage deter me, nor should you!)

As you can see, you are in for a fun time at DomainQueen.com (as well as an informative one - Charlotte knows the best way to get you to take your medicine is to add a little bit of sugar!)  By the way - and I know you don't need another reason to like her - but both Charlotte and her equally personable husband (and fellow domain domain industry fixture) Brian Gilbert are  U.S. military veterans. I wish they had been in my unit when I was in the service - I would have had a heck of a lot more fun and even if it meant a little time in the brig it would have been worth it!
