Domain blogger wins $10,000 scholarship from Go Daddy.
Brian Diener, who writes the domain blog TeenDomainer.com, has been selected as one of the winners of the Go Daddy .Me Scholarship Program. Go Daddy will pay $10,000 toward Diener’s education at Emory University next fall.
On his blog today Diener wrote:
I was on godaddy one day buying a domain name when I saw the ad for the scholarship on the bottom of the page, and thought that it was a perfect scholarship for me. All of the hours I have spent learning about domaining have finally paid off in my parents eyes.
Diener was one of only 10 people to be selected for the scholarship.
The essay that helped him win? It was about his experience in the domain industry and how I see domain names.
I guess domaining can pay off in more than parking and domain sales.
Congratulations to Diener.

Thanks everyone for all of the kind words. It was amazing that I really did not have to write any end user letters or create 100 minisites to earn this money. 🙂 Thanks godaddy!

Brian, You truly deserve this scholarship. I am very happy to see you being rewarded for the work you have done, and for all of the knowledge you have shared with the domaining community.
P.S. Those minisites you developed for me have made money! Thanks!!!
