It might be Christmas Eve but I am delighted to have closed a sale for a btach of 19 specialist names today. It wasn't massive money, but they were names that I would otherwise have let expire as they aren't in a market I want to be in any longer.I'm quite pragmatic about certain names in my portfolio now. It doesn't matter if someone comes along a...

Is it just me or do the holidays make you reflect far more than any other time of the year? I had a few thoughts on my mind and as the house fills with the wonderful smells of Christmas dinner...
Happy holidays everyone, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Hag Hanukkah Sameah

I'm doing my "holiday shopping" and looking to purchase a few good generic domains by the end of the year. If you got some for sale that fit

Some of the more outspoken veterans of the domain name business like to think of themselves as early adopters, likely because of their early awareness and insight into the power of domain names.? However, for most domainers this early adoption of one particular form of naming has not carried over to early adoption in other
According to Businesss Week and other sources, Verizon has won a legal battle against registrar OnlineNic in a default judgement. The decision awarded Verizon $50,000 per domain name (663 in total).? Andrew at DomainNameWire points out that this is one of several cases Verizon has brought up against domain name companies. Most of the past
Given the recent PCWorld article on the Internets Oldest 100 Domain Dot Com Domain Names, I thought I'd bring up a little known fact that is often overlooked by many people.

This one comes from URL-spotter Jamie Forrest, who played cat and mouse with this van to get an unobstructed view only to find out the URL was not PhoneBook.org, rather PAOneBook.org -- as in Pennsylvania One Book. Zoiks. More like PA Two Looks.
This one was brought to my attention by Bryson Meunier, a good friend of the Good URL Bad URL family. Took me a while to decipher the URL. Took me even longer to figure out it was all a gag. BIG ASS waste of my time.
This one came my way from Jeff Campbell (who, btw, couldn't look anything less like Kenny Rogers). I wonder if the XXL version of this shirt (which would be for men who look like Kenny Rogers circa 1995) has enough room for the URL not to wrap? Bottom line, when it comes to URLs, you gotta know when to hold 'em (on one line) and know when to fold '...
