This is the final day to pick up some nice keyword domains at wholesale domainer prices at my SnapNames auction. There are 164 domain names total.

Their show dates are still up in the air though and they would like to have you help them decide which of their two options would work best for the majority of people interested in attending.
This is not directed to just the domaining industry but business in general.
Over the past few months I have noticed a few domainer feuds going on. They seem to have gone public through blogs. It leaves me pondering one question: Can't we all just get along?!
I'm leaving the discussion about feuds like that alone for

Roy Messer, perhaps most famous for selling Vodka.com for $3M, has successfully defended the domain name NationalRentaCar.com through UDRP.

Twitter.com appears to have rolled out a new homepage design that took me by surprise a little. The new change currently appears only to be the homepage.

Owen Frager had a good article in which he pointed out what Rick Schwartz is doing on eRealEstate.com. I don't know the details of the deal, but Rick is still using eRealEstate.com for his own company, and another company is using eRealEstate.com as a social network for real estate professionals. By using subdomains and folders,

I am looking to sell MountainBikers.com and have reduced the price to $4,500 for this domain name. As I did before, I will lay out the vision I have for a website on MountainBikers.com, which I will have developed should it not sell. If you'd like to buy this domain name at the reduced price,

There were a few interesting domain auctions closing today.
One very interesting one was Hollywood.us.
I don't own very many .us domains, but this sure looked like a good one, especially in light of the success of Hollywood.com and Hollywood.tv.
After much debate between myself and myself, I passed, but still think it was a very good buy...
Readers of Mike Berken's blog were befuddled that the domain name thedog.com went for $13K on NameJet. Who would pay that? I wondered too so I asked Google. The first name that came up was a $300 million business online since 2000 and the #1 franchise for licensed artwork under the brand "the dog" in Japan.They had been operating (and/or handicappe...
Is Sarah Palin secretly a beat poet? Do her words make little to no sense because she is so immersed in language and lyrics that she operates on a plane we cannot grasp? We sincerely doubt it, but that was the implication last night as William Shatner appeared on the "Tonight Show" and read Sarah's resignation speech in his typical Shatner way, wit...

The Band Unjust apparently has let it's domain name unjust.com expire. The name is now up for auction at NameJet and already has 50 bidders at the time of this posting. What's even stranger, is the title of one of their albums is "To Lose Name".

I'm not sure if this is the first lawsuit resulting from a tweet on Twitter, however it's the first tweet lawsuit I've heard of.
