DRI – domain discussions

DomainRecord.Info DNS record comments

Looks like DomainRecord.Info did not stay on the back burner for too long. We have implemented commenting/discussion software from Intense Debate. Now when a user performs a whois look up, on the DNS record search results page they have the ability to leave comments regarding the domain or IP they look up, or respond to others who have already commented. Once the user has performed a whois check, all they have to do is either scroll below the DNS record whois results or click on the Discuss this domain link to be taken to the the community section of the page.

Implementing this allows us to establish a community, but most of all it help share information. For example domainners can conduct discussions about a domain, its value and traffic. Contact information can be exchange or business can be conducted off site, but only made posible by connecting the two parties via the DomainRecord.Info community. System and network administrators as well as members of anti-SPAM communities can comment on IPs. They can share background information, as well as type of SPAM they are receiving from the IP in question. Methods and strategies for blocking or filtering can be shared between administrators, who might have not met if not for the direct information sharing provided after each DNS record.

With this move we are striving to provide user with a centralized platform for sharing information. Having the community opinion and knowledge available to users in one place will help improve productivity by cutting out time spend searching the Internet to accumulate partially useful bits and pieces of information.

DRI – layout update.

Filed under: Domain Record Info — Tags: , , , — Domain Record Info @ 11:59 PM

Although DomainRecord.Info has been available to the public since 2007, a layout for the website was never implemented. The whois script was simply installed and provided for everyone to use.

Today this was changed. A short description/disclaimer was added to the home page, explaining what the web site is about and what it does and does not. The search form size was adjusted so was the page displaying results. Most important of all a “ShareThis” button was added, allowing users to easily share any domain or IP record information on their blog, social network of choice or email it to someone. As far as usability, the web site is very easy to navigate with a simple design.

After this small update, the DomainRecord.Info project will be placed again on the back burner due to some nearly completed upcoming projects. One involves gaming news and the other is DomainVentory, which will offer domain monetization. Once these web services have gone live and are stable, DomainRecord.Info will be revisited so we can determine what new features could be added to the web site, making it more feature rich and useful to its users.
