Why I'm ditching Godaddy

I've decided I'm ditching Godaddy.com.  After years of recommending them to clients, I finally came to the conclusion that my loyalty is outweighed by my need to vote with my pocketbook. 

Why Bob? Do you really need to say "Viewer Discretion Advised" to advertise your personal blog, "Straight talk from Go Daddy's CEO & Founder".   I mean, what does that say about you, that you are a straight shootin' CEO who gets down to business or that you shoot from the hip?  Ewww, I can't click on your link because I really don't want to know.  

Actually, I haven't wanted to know for a while.  I've been ignoring all those ads about enhancement, and Danica Patrick, who should be a role model for women, but who is prostituting herself to be your spokesmodel.  I used to tell my clients, "Yeah, I know the ads are cheesy.  But it's an easy service to use."  You know what?  So is Register.com, and my old nemesis of registrars, Network Solutions.  Both offer domain names at comparable prices, and I don't have to pretend not to see their ads.  

Sorry, Go Daddy.  I'd like to say you've been good to me, but actually, you're just old.  And there's other fish in the sea.
