Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.

I've received dozens of requests from media outlets wanting to see the rejected commercials. GoDaddy.com has nothing to hide. In fact, I think when you see our commercials many of you will wonder what all the fuss was about. You decide. Take a look and let us know if our ideas, the commercials we produced and the concepts that were rejected are really too much for America's Super Bowl audience.
The response was overwhelming. I like to share what I have learned with others about everyday happenings as well as issues that make a difference in the world of business.
Our customers are finding Ruby on Rails to be incredibly valuable in shaping their online presence. We are pleased to be able to offer support for a framework that increases the utility of the sites we host.
The Super Bowl is the perfect medium for us,
Everyone should have control of their own name on the Internet. Why not give a gift that is affordable, personal and can be used in so many ways?
As the world's largest domain name provider, responsible for more than 11 million domain names, Go Daddy feels an obligation to protect our customers and represent their interests. It's an obligation we share with lawmakers and federal officials, so it is important that we be in Washington, as a base of Internet knowledge for Capitol Hill, the Executive Branch and Federal Regulators.
Customers asked for a tool that would allow them to delegate domain name management responsibilities to a variety of people on a variety of levels, yet ensure they retain control over their domains. So we developed the exact solution they requested.
We were undoubtedly pleased when Go Daddy's portfolio surpassed 9 million domain names in July. But we weren't satisfied -- after all, it's 'the Go Daddy way' to keep moving forward. So we redoubled our efforts in order to achieve the 10 million domain name pinnacle faster than it took to grow from 8 to 9 million domains. And once again, the dedicated and relentless efforts of our employees, combined with the loyalty of millions of satisfied customers, were the decisive factors in helping us reach this milestone.
We are bitterly disappointed, but we're not giving up yet. It's simply a bad deal for the industry and registrants everywhere. The fact that this monopolistic deal was approved is a loud signal that major changes are needed at ICANN.
I believe the ad we currently have submitted will be rejected. When this happens we will have to decide to either go back to the cutting room floor, or raise the white flag.
This year everybody is on a pretty tight leash,
This showdown went down to the wire. We were about out of time and had produced our 14th and final attempt. I'm ecstatic about being in the Super Bowl again.
