I wholeheartedly agree that the use of extensions beyond .com, .org, and .net are of value; however, it does take SOME amount of creativity to use them. Del.icio.us is the perfect example of this.

A few years back, me and some buddies were trying to start up a web business based on a .us extention. We came up with www.theworldaccordingto.us. We felt that www.theworldaccordingto.us was too long and that the acronym version was too vulgar so we had to rename ourselves.

It’s his own personal opinion in the end though and I think people just seemed to have jumped on the hate tyler bandwagon. He’s done well for himself when you consider where he was a couple of years ago.

As for the links at the top, mainly rubbish anyway, just driving more publicity to Tyler’s website.

The links at the top;

1. Vince - ‘Well, one thing on that blog made me laugh out loud (”fucking self-masturbation condo loving freak show”), but the rest is just pure hating cynical bullshit.’ Quoted and sums it up pretty well. Funny though

2. Meghan Schmuck, all you have to do is read her post to realise how ‘full of douchebaggery.’ it was.

3. Hardly a big loss on his side, both as bad as each other on that account.

4. Chatwebdev, well thats chatwebdev for you.

I never called him a douchebag, Zane?

Personally, I don’t think its fair to critise Tyler Cruz on a personal level e.g. calling him a “douchebag”, as I’m sure neither you nor any of the others have met him in real life so how can you judge him simply from what he posts on his blog ? P.S I’m not defending Tyler here, I would have said the same for anyone.

However, I don’t see anything wrong with picking apart his opinion . He was definately wrong that other tld’s are worthless.

Who cares what advice he gives to his readers? As you said Julek looking at all the bad post about Tyler people are sure to know his advice is half ass’d or at the least bit un-informative.

And, I have to agree with Adam Hall. Julek you yourself have done many many shady things I can recall and yet you are pointing the finger at a guy that use to live in his parents basement and know has got out and lived on his own? Sad really.

So, who cares what advice, how much he makes you are just fueling his fire and giving him much more attention that the douche deserves.

I entirely agree Mike.

Also, like you said, Tyler should have went in a more professional direction. Instead of saying that any other extension “sucks,” he should have said “If you plan to just buy and sell domains without development, go with the .com, .org, and .net” and not have put the other extensions in the dust.

Julek - I completely agree with you. Although, maybe Tyler was describing the market of domains in the sense that if you are planning to buy and sell domains strictly without having an undeveloped site, then go with the .com, .org, and .net. However, Tyler will all the “professionalism” he has should have specifically pointed this out, obviously confusing readers.

Indeed Ben. Adam, if you take a look at my post and one of my first comments, I physically point out I am not making a post to ‘bash’ Tyler Cruz. I have the right to hold an opinion on any and all of what Tyler does.

This post was mainly triggered because of the flawed advice Tyler provided to his reader-base, though it was not only because of that, because of my loss of respect for Tyler and what he’s been doing over the past few months.
