Did all-mighty Go Daddy ever hear of a little co named Staples ? I would not be found dead at Office Depot or Office Max, they don't even come close to Staples' assortment and both these lesser stores have been empty the once or twice I 've been there. I'm amazed these two haven't folded like famous
#2 Borders, LinensNThings and Circuit City. In the office supplies space the fact there are still three is by itself surprising since we use paper, ink, etc much less. So if a deal w/Staples couldn't be reached then do not do an office supplies chain which per se I find mistifying. They wanted to sell a domain like a printer or a smartphone ? They should sell them through MS, Yahoo or Google. Why not go to Apple, even Best Buy, and that would be a stretch. A SEO co, hosting or parking service is more suitable too
It reminds me of Dell (and I like Michael Dell) when it decided to sell its PCs at stores but only at Wal-Mart. WTF !? Then they added Staples, but not Best Buy, the only electronics retailer left. Finally they did add Big BB. What do these CEOs eat at breakfast ? They should be having fish, brain food. So don't be surprised if a year from now you stop at Walgreens and they offer you your own domain name before you check out
