Does anyone know if the GD DDC Pro $30 off auction using PRO30 still works in May? I just tried to use it for an auction win today, and it said it could not be applied since already used. But I have not used it in May, only in April, when it worked fine.

If you want to mention a domain name in a post, but you don't want to link to it, use a fake dot: ․ It's technically the one dot leader (U+2024) which isn't the same Unicode as the full stop. The outcome is domains with no links: example․com

It was great seeing friends at the @GoDaddy Domainer Meetup. Kudos to @mikegaffney for coming all the way from Texas! Had an AMAZING session on how to dig deep in GD Auctions and how to use AI to find gems. Thanks to @jjstyler for putting this together!

GoDaddy has some of the best people in the business. And I'm so glad that many investors came to GoDaddy's HQ for the meetup, talking Afternic, Auctions, and DomainNames•com among other things. Congrats @jjstyler. Where should we host a meetup next?

@DInvesting I’m sorry about that, Elliot. Your account should not be receiving those errors. I have asked our engineers to investigate.

GoDaddy bulk search is still broken. I searched for 300 domain names. cc @jamesiles

Feels like @GoDaddy bulk domain search tool is broken. Thought it might be one of those clear cache issues, but it didn't work on Chrome or Safari incognito / private. When I do get it to search, it only searches a handful of names and gives an error message.

For more than ten years, I tried to buy a domain name. The domain name changed hands multiple times following corporate acquisitions. A couple of my offers were rejected, but my emails were usually not returned. I engaged @GoDaddy DBS broker Jordan Cavanaugh to negotiate on my behalf. I was able to reach a deal, and the transaction closed yesterday. I am very happy to now own Independence.com. Thanks to Jordan for his insight and advice throughout.

Gemini․com is so prominent in Gemini (the crypto company's) branding. But it makes sense. With Google Gemini's strong AI market presence (750 million MAUs), @Gemini is leveraging Gemini․com as a differentiator here.

For some reason, when a domain name is returned after an @afternic LTO deal is cancelled, auto-renew is off. I noticed it when it happened before, and it just happened again at GoDaddy. Not sure why it is turned off, but it's something to keep an eye on if it happens to you.

@AGreatDomain Yes, Insider tier, the same as I mentioned in my top post. Agreed on the cost, but it's opens the door to a lot of tools - if that's your thing.

@jamesiles Thanks for sharing this, James. One needs an Insider Tier subscription, I think, to qualify, so substantial annual cost, but an incredible package.

I have Lenny's Insider Product Pass, and it's a useful way to test AI tools and learn how the various offerings might fit into your own workflows. There are some new tools just added to the pass.

@LeanneMac At the moment, yeah. But mostly use Sonnet for day to day - Opus 4.7 eats usage quickly.

@jamesiles So if you had to pay for just one AI (the £20-ish tiers) you'd go for Claude?

AI tooling is subjective - what works for someone else may not work for you. But be open, and try! Personal views, just sharing what I find useful.

These are examples, and there are likely plenty more here. The point is, that Lenny's pass is one lower cost route to test tools and see what's really possible.
