Dr. Bob Parsons with me – Find your edge
Check out this fun video blog I did with Dr. Bob Parsons, the founder of GoDaddy. It’s actually very good business advice. Find your edge. I certainly did!
Oh, and pop over to his video blog and leave a comment or two (remember… hint hint… me as one of the GoDaddy Girls.. Superbowl… 
), he really does read his comments.
You can find his video blog here.

@henry2rhyme07

Easier said than done!
hi Marina, it was a cool video, by the way can i know the name of the other girl with you and bob……………..?
Here’s a tip that’ll give you an edge.
I watched, I learned, but not my cup of Joe.
Marina,
Thanks for the links.
Very interesting site.
Wealth of insight and experience.
That Reba chick looks pretty hot.

At 1:40 when Dr. Bob is talking about case studies, there are some mathematical symbols and formulas displayed.
I’m making a case study of my own… How many of those mathematical symbols do you recognize and what do they represent?
Geeks only please.
∂ partial differential
∑ sumation
∫ integral
ln log
ζ zeta; Riemann zeta function
θ thetal set theory; population parameters in the Normal/Gaussian/Bell curve distribution
σ sigma
f(x) function of input value x
π pi 3.14159265
Cool, you know your math.
There is a local math teacher who works summers as a logger. After winning the log-rolling contest at the Deming Logging Show, he was asked how he did it.
“I guess I have natural log-rhythm,” he replied.
He has exponential of e
See? E helps, if taken exponentially. LOL
Dr. Bob probably has no more than a high school knowledge of mathematics. He can obviously count his millions, differentiate chinese characters from mathematical symbols, but no more than that. Can you recognize the equation behind the symbols, Chemikal?
Far away objects, sometimes, can connect very efficiently together (mathematically speaking, of course).

Go Daddy-O?
June 28th. JUNE 28TH! The last word was done five days ago.
I don’t like the looks of this trend. Who cares about GoDaddy?
Ho CK. You feel like you don’t learn much? Like you don’t care anymore? Like you’re intellectually stalled like a gasless limo? Hey, I’ve got exactly the thing you need, amigo!
Here comes the ORIGINAL, UUUUUNNNNNIIIIIQUE, BE$$$$$$$T OF THE ROCK’N ROLL CROP Go Daddy O’ song!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!! WOWOWOWWWWW!
Dear Marina
Your edge must be your great looks, free videos, your acting ability, sense of humor, great video production skills, great set design, great lighting, beautiful hair and makeup, and a great knowledge of the English language.
Wow-wa-we-wa!
My edge must be in the specialized knowledge I possess, but the DOD frowns on it if I give away their secets. Oh well, I can always waste my time watching videos from others, learning a foreign language, and texting on various Internet boards!

I made the following three comments at Dr.Bob’s vblog, and so far only one has been made public:
1) Marina {
would} makes a great GoDaddy Girl since she is not an actress playing the role of one. Rather, she is a creative, intelligent businesswoman who works hard on her independent judgment, is embodied in a sensual, feminine form; and is confident of her mind, her work, and her femininity.2) What is the reason for GoDaddy not having a toll free number even for pre-sales questions? Is it because most of its potential customers are likely to be on a “nation-wide-calling-plan”? Or because you are only interested in doing business with people who are willing to pay an ante to indicate their seriousness in doing business (but if so, why isn’t customer service toll free)? Or is it just a cost cutting feature (but if so, aren’t you likely to be losing potential customers)? But I really do not want to speculate, and would like to know you{r} reasons for not having a toll free number for per-sales and customer support.
3) I believe GoDaddy hosts HotForWords.com. But that site chokes up when it is configured to deliver all of a post’s comments on a single page (similar effect to your “SEE ALL COMMENTS” button below). Also, as Marina mentioned on your latest Radio Show, that site chokes up whenever her appearance on O’Reilly is broadcast. Question: Why does this happen? Is this a problem at GoDaddy’s end, and, if so, how is GoDaddy applying Rule 14 to it?
Update: 1 was posted, 2 was posted and replied to. But 3 has not yet been posted. Since 3 is a legitimate question a serious prospective customer would ask an ISP, GoDaddy.com falls way down in my esteem if 3 is silently discarded.
Regarding toll free customer service numbers: Some years back, I did not have call forwarding and used a panasonic answering machine. While checking messages from outside the US, I accidentally turned the machine off. To turn it back on, one needed to let it ring 15 times, but the country I was in would disconnect a line after 12 rings. I called Panasonic’s toll free number and their customer support person called my machine and turned it back on.
If Marina needed GoDaddy tech support while at Cannes, she would have had to call long distance.
Neat, Marina. Odd, yet interesting, to see you in a supporting role again.
If you don’t embody the perfect GoDaddy Girl, then I can’t imagine who would.
Always.
ur answer:
What about iJustine !
just see the numbers:
@iJustine: 589,569 followers
@HotForWords: 19,721 followers
Marina: philologist, etymologist stuff
Justine: Tech stuff
Anarbol,
You just don’t get it.
Yet.

Ah, the irresistible appeal of the brunettes. However, there is some mass marketable schtuff about blondes, a je ne sais quoi which is very powerful indeed.

Both sandwich girls are bleutiful show stoppers. The Ducati man in the center seems to prefer blondes, though. He seems to be a nice man and a very good merchant. However, he seems to be subtly asking for money, but is not in need and is not homeless at all.
I came here looking for a school. Looks like I landed in a shopping center today? I prefer shirtless girls, damnit!
All right. Sun’s rising, day’s young, road’s long’n dirty. Gotta move on. Arrivederci bambini!

neuroway, do you have to see the negative in everything? I did the video because it was fun. I actually DO use GoDaddy for all my domains because they really do have people that answer the phone who also know what they are talking about. In fact, I walked into their phone support room and there were HOT CHICKS in there on the phone, I kid you not.
Anyway, I thought the video was fun and it also had some interesting information, and of course, he’s a businessman, of course he wants you to know about his company.. but the edge that he was talking about actually applies to his company. So there actually was a lesson in the video, though not etymology, but helpful nonetheless.
Yepper, Marina.
I do think I have to see the negative in everything. Just like I have to see the positive in everything. Otherwise, I would be unfair and unbalanced (either positively or negatively). I would probably make more mistakes, and less good choices. I would be on the edge, literally, in a very precarious position, less independent. Just like the public finances of the state of California.
So what have they told you is the reason for this site to choke when loading single paged comments and when your O’Reilly show airs? Do they say you need to switch over to a higher level offering (at a higher price), or do they say that the problem can’t be solved for any reasonable price? I do not like such speculations, would like to know what GoDaddy actually says about this issue.
Godaddy hosts my domains not my server. It’s the sheer number of comments on a page that made me change to pages comments, not any other reason. If you add up 300 comments on a page that’s a lot of words that make the page large.
By hosting your domain, you mean they only do periodic renewal and provide DNS? I know people who have T1 lines to their homes and have their own server in a closet at their homes — is this how you do it too? Or do you mean you rent a dedicated server from GoDaddy? What exactly is your setup?
I re-heard the comment you make toward the end of (~9min30sec into) your GoDaddy Radio interview — here’s what you actually said — I might have made an incorrect assumption:
I just assumed that “the people” you had to call were GoDaddy Tech Support people. Maybe at one time they were employees of GoDaddy, but are some other people today.
So who are “the people” that you have to call?
thinking these hot chicks get some breaktime to go outside and do some stretches before they have to get back to the phones (applying positive thinking here)

i don’t really know how to put this question. hm. do you like hot chicks?
I know a hot chick when I see one. I am serious.. some of the girls on the phones actually looked like GoDaddy girls, which shocked me.
mhm. you didn’t exactly answer my question, you know.:P
I know hot guys when I see them doesn’t mean I drool for pony play at the hotdog ranch

yes. but it doesn’t mean that you don’t, either.
Yes, and it’s lovely when you recruit a couple of those “hot chicks” and pose for photos with them and post them for the benefit of those of us who love the aesthetics of three hot chicks smiling at the camera and am I babbling?
i wonder how long this thread is gonna get. amusing.:)
@äläx
You seem to be implying something with your comment directed at
me
therefore I see it only right [homophobe]
nah, man. i wasn’t implying shit. it’s all in your head. chill.;)
homophobe? far from it.
Maybe she was politely declining to answer a question about a matter that is not your business.
maybe.
Maybe it would be a successful business. I see potential.

Marina, you are continually feeding us with entertaining videos that stimulate our minds; you are a delight to watch; you provide us with a forum in which to interact with our fellow students, both intellectually and playfully; and it’s all FREE to us!
See? I have to see the POSITIVE in everything! And as neuroway notes below, I’m clearly unbalanced!
So which of us is more irritating?
Evan,
Sometimes, I think of you as a gigantic.. no… what do I say.. a GARGANTUAN proton. Your elementary charge is definitely +1.

So Sioux me!
Great video, even without the eye candy; I’ve got a new mentor.
Having watched another of Dr.Bob’s videos, I’m hooked and I think Marina’s personality fits right in with the fun aspect of the videos and with Dr.Bob’s attitude.
I second that.
Thanks for backing up my billion votes for Marina as the new Superbowl GoDaddy Girl and adding your own billion votes.
Relax Marina, the camera loves you… You got an edge, wield it with confidence

Does Marina make a good GoDaddy Girl?
Ohhhh, you betcha!!
Marina is the best GoDaddy Girl ever!!!!
What about a cute girl with real boobs and into the tech stuff ?

Dr. Bob’s success story enlivens my spirit and gives me motivation
Thanks Bob
