From the GoDaddy announcement:

GoDaddy [NYSE:GDDY], which operates the world's largest domain name aftermarket, today announces the launch of its first mobile app for domain investors. The GoDaddy Investor app, launching on iOS and Android, will allow investors to watch and bid on domains at auction and stay on top of their current bids all from their mobile device. Aftermarket domain auctions are time-sensitive and highly competitive, and it's critical that investors are able to easily participate at any time and from anywhere, not just from their computers.

GoDaddy Investor offers several additional features not previously available. After downloading the app, domain investors are able to monitor a watch list of active expiry domain auctions in real time, as well as view their bidding history. Investors can also see the auction history for each domain, including the number of bidders and the prices of their bids. Investors can also place proxy bids and securely re-authenticate with their Auction PIN (Android, iOS) or Touch ID (iOS). A streamlined, visual dashboard count shows, at-a-glance, how many auctions investors have won, bid on, or are watching overall. Finally, since auctions are won and lost in an instant, push notifications will immediately alert investors when they've been outbid on auctions that are ending soon.

"We worked closely with our domain investors to bring the same great investing experience to mobile that they've enjoyed on desktop for years," said Paul Nicks,GoDaddy's Senior Director of Aftermarket. "The new GoDaddy Investor app was designed with the timely nature of domain bids in mind, allowing investors to register valuable pre-owned domain names, win more auctions and keep a closer eye on their bids, no matter where they are."

Drinking the Kool-Aid With Frank Schilling

Time to pause and drink some Frank Schilling Kool-Aid on a hot summer day--I love Twitter and almost everybody loves Frank (even if you disagree with him)--so here's a selection of his Tweets (and 1 Retweet-- being the first one below) with a little Domain Mondo commentary in-between:

Best Deal for .XYZ Registrations looks to be at Uniregistry http://t.co/dA8gpmSTUV http://t.co/MJiiTC8XXt

LOL! Little did they know!

.XYZ available today at http://t.co/GnbSDUs9PR just $8.88!

Some names are clearly better than others, but the best names are usually the ones you own.
— Frank Schilling (@Frank_Schilling) May 28, 2014

Meaning the ones Frank owns!

Domain Names are the real estate of the Web. Absolutely no question. Control all the domain names and you control the Internet.
— Frank Schilling (@Frank_Schilling) May 26, 2014

CONTROL them ALL Dr. No--err--Mr. Frank!

.com names will always be with us. Heroes never die. But new protagonists are emerging. Bet on all of them.
— Frank Schilling (@Frank_Schilling) May 8, 2014

"Bet on all of them"--oh yeah, real good advice for investors or gamblers!

Will new domain-names impact existing .com prices? Bringing more diamonds out of the ground does not make the price of diamonds go down.

Uh, Frank, you better check with De Beers on that one.

I bought some of my best domain names after having a glass of wine in front of the computer. I bought some of my worst after the third glass

Imagine that!

Marketing for .SEXY and .TATTOO begin March 8th. At $19.99, anything good .SEXY will be gone in a year.
— Frank Schilling (@Frank_Schilling) February 27, 2014

Notice Frank doesn't predict the same for .TATTOO - #newgTLD remorse?

If you knew how little people thought about you - you wouldn't worry what people think of you.

For follow-up see this

2015: .info shrinks, com flatlines, some NewG accidentally GA's a name they need + barters premium to get it back. Biz gets beat by a New G.
— Frank Schilling (@Frank_Schilling) February 15, 2014

"2015 ... com flatlines" = Frank heavy into the Kool-Aid

.com will always be the yardstick other names are measured by, but in future .com will not always rank at the top of that measure.
— Frank Schilling (@Frank_Schilling) February 12, 2014

OK, what will be at the top of that measure? .TATTOO? LOL!

domain advice: It's not a good generic GTLD unless it works for toiletpaper. toiletpaper.bike = fail toiletpaper.shop = pass

A psychiatrist could have a field day psychoanalyzing the above--I'm not touching it with a ten-foot pole!

.guru has passed .coop in registration volume in 2 days. and guru is not 'that' strong a string
— Frank Schilling (@Frank_Schilling) February 6, 2014

Yes, it's called fools and their money

Esther Dyson completely out of her depth. Compare this future: http://t.co/krjtqSp5rk to her views on the matter: http://t.co/jRGYH1kaL8
— Frank Schilling (@Frank_Schilling) February 21, 2014

I'm not getting between Frank and Esther Dyson!

Have a good weekend--you too, Frank!
