Today I registered “CharlesHood.Me” and “CharlesHood.Org” domain names, and redirected them here to my main site at CharlesHood.Net. Kudos to Hover, my registrar of choice, for their genius marketing campaign — they emailed me to let me know that the domains were available. Yes, they know all too well… I’m a domain junkie. But how important are domain names now in the age of social media? It seems most of my interactions these days are either on my Facebook page or on Twitter, not this blog. So tell me dear readers, did I just blow $25? Sound off in the comments!

- I just booked a flight to Italy for this summer! This will be my first trip to Europe, any suggestions / recommendactions from my tweeps?
- Android annoyances: Why do I have to click "OK" after entering my PIN number? Seems like an extra step, coming from an iPhone.

No… domain names are cheap, and what if some other Charles Hood wanted to start a blog and bought them up? You might not ever have the chance to pick them up later if you wanted them.

As I mentioned in the post, I use Hover to register my domains and I think they’re great. If you want to try them out, feel free to use my referral link and I’ll get a discount: https://hover.com/1uO8gLKr (Thanks in advance!)
