SocialDomaining
Contents
What is it
is the business of Domaining, sharing in the community
- costs
- ownership
- development
- gains
as OpenBusiness or even ExtremeOpenBusiness, with the goal of CreatingAndSharingWealth for and within online-communities.
Besides that in a weaker sense, SocialDomaining means discussing, appraising, trading and marketing domains within communities, that CreateAndShareWealth.
Wealth in our context is mainly to be created by open collaboration, that develops new (not only conceptual) objects and processes in the spirit of the CreativeCommons. The business involved takes the form of ExtremeOpenBusiness: XOB, where these objects and and processes are bound to domain-names, that are offered for sale, sharing, leasing.
A less significant part for CreatingAndSharing wealth comes from revenue sharing by using Adsense- or Affiliated Marketing in forum threads.
SocialDomaining communities offer gentle introductions, ample knowledge, presentations, links to appropriate literature, software and other resources.
SocialDomaining as ExtremeOpenBusiness
This is social domaining, in a maximal transparent form, where
- all activities can be monitored and supported in public
- everyone with a RealName is invited to participate
Some of the benefits are:
- best PR for all people, who don't shy the light of the public
- more safety (similar to the reduced crime-rate in open places with public camera-monitoring, inspired by the bestseller author David Brin G TheTransparentSociety )
- more informative (you learn from real negotiation processes like Meatball:WikiBankOpenNegotiation )
- more entertaining (it's like an interactive reality show)
- a catalyst for building a CreateAndShareWealth community.
We start as a pilot-project with a public viewable Google:Spreadsheet to illustrate, develop, invite and realize SocialDomaining on a new level, together with invited members of communities, who already practise a non-wiki based form of SocialDomaining. It would be great, to have soon a couple of such spreadsheets, whose domains point to wikipages in Aboutus.org as this one.
BeBold and take your stake.
In fact each site of the web can have its digested representation here as a wiki-page, such that connections between the collaborating partners can be established and cultivated.
As "markets are conversations" Meatball:CluetrainManifesto you see how in, by and with Aboutus together, we all can prosper.
Public viewable Domain Portfolios for trading and collaboration

You can "join forces" by contributing to the concept, elaborating y/our ideas here or you prefer to do actual domaining (trading, appraisals, transactions), which is better done in a specialized existing community such as NamePros.com,... leaving BiLinks to your forum contributions. fridemar 15:04, 21 June 2008 (PDT)

YogaYetzt.com
My name is KarinLades and I am interested to buy the domain YogaYetzt.com. As I see from fridemar.com/PublicDomainPortfolio, you offer this domain for 50$USD. How do we proceed now? I have already signed myself up as member of NamePros.com and ask, what is the next step. Karin-Lades 12:00, 23 April 2009 (PDT)
fridemar 12:14, 23 April 2009 (PDT): Thank you Karin for contacting via this wiki page. As this SocialDomaining approach is a new project, where the two communities (Aboutus and NamePros) collaborate, I must formally state my offer in a marketing forum of NamePros and reserve for you the option to buy as a first buyer. The whole process is made transparent for the sake of all parties involved.
Karin-Lades 12:27, 23 April 2009 (PDT) I suppose for simplicity you leave a link here to the forum offering, so that I can state there in a forum post when I have bought. I have also signed up a free account at name.com, such that you can instantly transfer the domain from your account to my account. I have also a Paypal.com account, such that the money-transfer should be a snap. In which order do we proceed? First money transfer, then domain transfer? Another question is how do we exchange our email-Addresses, which are needed for Paypal transactions?
fridemar 12:36, 23 April 2009 (PDT) : Karin you are right, with the statement "First money transfer, then domain transfer" since this is the time-proven procedure as suggested in the NamePros community. For this purpose we exchange our addresses in form of PMs (Private Messages) in NamePros.com. By the way, I reformatted our dialog here, that the signature prefixes our statements here.
