@TonyNames Since my initial reply, I'm inclined to agree with you. It certainly feels like a new class of investor has stepped into the field. Marketing agencies or incubators perhaps...which would go along with your suggestion, end user.
@TonyNames@TonyNames When I replied to this post I had come back from a long hiatus. I have a small portfolio but prices have definitely increased (not necessarily a bad thing we want our asset class to be in demand.) I'm seeing prices at auctions that alarm me.
@MichaelCyger Hey Michael, is the plan to start with Twitter and then add additional platforms i.e. Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc...? Hmmm, I just realized this function benefits curators, not creators. Not a bad niche to cater to as well.
@MichaelCyger Friendly interface. I think you will do very well with this. It is a great way for creators to make sure their most important messages were not missed and expand on their message. It can also be used by content curators as well, couldn't it?

A lion was seen in the Atlas Mountains during a flight on the Casablanca-Dakar air route. The photograph, taken by Marcelin Flandrin in 1925, is the last visual record of a wild "Barbary" lion of North Africa.
To clarify, the Barbary lion is not completely extinct but is extinct in the wild. It is reported that there are fewer than 90 of them in captivity worldwide. They are part of a global breeding program aimed at helping to revive the population.
The only part of your online business or infrastructure that cannot easily be replaced in some manner is your domain name but yet it is still treated as an afterthought rather than the most critical piece that ties everything together. Your brand, communications and most importantly your connection to your customers all flows through your domain name.
@MichaelCyger@Frank_Schilling Schilling is so on point with this. All TLDs are based on this principle. There are a finite number of marketable words and short phrases. ICANN will keep churning new gTLDs because that's what they are there for.
@MichaelCyger@DNAcademy I shared my account passwords with a fsmily member using lastpass so they always have the updated passwords. Peace if mind in case of an unexpected event.
THE SECOND VULTURE:
"In the 1990s, there was a widely circulated photo of a vulture waiting for a starving little girl to die and feast on her corpse. That photo was taken during the 1993/94 famine in Sudan by Kevin Carter, a South African photojournalist, who later won the Pulitzer Prize for this 'amazing shot'.
However, as Kevin Carter was savouring his feat and being celebrated on major news channels and networks worldwide for such an 'exceptional photographic skill', he lived just for a few months to enjoy his supposed achievement and fame, as he later got depressed and took his own life!
*Kevin Carter's depression started, when during one of such interviews (a phone-in program), someone called in and asked him what happened to the little girl. He simply replied, "I didn't wait to find out after this shot, as I had a flight to catch..." Then the caller said, "I put it to you that there were two vultures on that day, one had a camera."
Thus, his constant thought of that statement later led to depression and he ultimately committed suicide. Kevin Carter could have still been alive today and even much more famous, if he had just picked that little girl up and taken her to the United Nations Feeding Center, where she was attempting to reach or at least take her somewhere safe.*
Today, regrettably, this is what is happening all around the world. The world celebrates stupidity and inhumane acts at the detriment of others. Kevin Carter could've taken the girl away from that place, yet he didn't. Here is the inhumane posture, "he had all the time to take this shot, but he had no time to save the girl's life."
Thus, we must all understand that the purpose of life is to also touch lives. So are you too a Vulture? In whatever we do, let humanity come first before what we stand to gain out of the situation. In all we do, let's always think of others and how we can be of benefit to humanity, how we can lend a helping hand and wipe away tears. Hence, when we seek knowledge, wealth, fame, skills, or even positions, let's think of how we can use it to benefit the people and society at large."

@TonyNames That is true and a good point. I have been the recipient of those emails before. Not a business model I would want but I understand why they do it. All were from countries with very low costs of living. Even a $50 return is a big payoff.
