.ORG Promo Time!

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

As promised, if a little late, I bring you a new promo code. This time around we’re offering 30% off new .org registrations. This is good for a limited number of domains so if you’re thinking about registering some .org domains now is the time to do it.

Thanks to TankRazr for poking me on this. If this one isn’t to your liking I’ll have another for you in a few weeks. Drop me a line and let me know what you’re in the market for and I’ll see what I can do. And folks? It’s probably not going to be a .com promo, ya know?

Enter “j08org” for your 30% on .org domain registrations.

Doing Good Is Cool Again

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Name.com went to London earlier this month to attend a voting party for the Webby’s People’s Voice Awards. The event was sponsored by The Public Interest Registry, the registry behind the .ORG extension, to highlight several diverse organizations that are making the Internet a better place.

As suggested by the invitation, Name.com brought along one of it’s favorite .ORGs - Idealist. Idealist.org is an interactive website dedicated to allowing individuals and organizations the ability share and exchange resources and ideas as well as locate opportunities and supporters while taking steps toward building a world where all people can lead free and dignified lives.

In addition to Idealist.org groups such as GreenPeace, Wikipedia, AlertNet and VideoLAN presented inspirational slide shows and summaries of their missions. Following the presentations topics including international education, viral marketing and community building were discussed during a press conference.

Alexa Raad, CEO at PIR, explains the mission of .ORG as promoting “great content that inspires, advocates and educates a newly globalized and connected world.”
