That picture, is that a Gator trying to open a door?
the site’s design is beautiful but it aims to an already very crowded (or very GROUPONed) market
Hi Micheal,
I did not take the photo…
I have had it so long, I forget were it came from.
Must have been taken somewhere in Florida I would guess…
I think it was just someone catching the “gator” in action…lol
Imagine being in the house, and thinking you have a ‘knock on the door’…and you open the door and find this dude looking at you… that would scare the living %$& out of anyone.
I would guess most every house in Florida has a very strong screen door

Maybe he has a ‘key’
This is why I live in a condo
@ “MHB”
They find all kinds of other thing in condos also…like 15 foot Python snakes etc…
Who knows, this ‘gator’ might have just come from a ‘gated condo complex’ and after hours of trying to get in, he decided to go next door to a single family house…pissed that he could not get in the condo complex
Peace!

Great idea and site. More VC money backing generic domain names.
“2011 is the year for VC money on generic domain names and businesses”
just a sci-fi movie
No sci -fi movie lol

Things are rocketing and gaining momentum
There is a new online discount sweeping the country this holiday season, called “Printapons” where a local store is featured every day with huge discount.

That is a very cool use for a great domain…!…
I love the idea of taking the general ‘deals’ idea, and applying it to a specific market (ie Moms).
Yes, I like that.
