Afternic DLS announced it has passed the $600,000 mark in weekly sales this week selling over 400 names with 248 of them selling for over $1000 according to DNN.

ICANN set up a bunch of rules a while back to finally put an end to excesive abuse of the domain registration Add Grace Period (AGP) – domain tasting.

Internet Engine finally gets the domain name it wants.
When SEO firm Internet Engine started in 2000, it had a tough time acquiring the corresponding domain name. It ended up settling on Internet-Engine.net. But the hyphen and .net always bothered founder Thom Disch.

Sometimes being sneaky helps you improve with what you are doing. I often wonder if people "click" shorten links because it's hard to tell where that shortened link will bring you.
Another thing I often wonder, are people clicking shortened links that others are posting via Twitter.com or Facebook etc.
If you have a free account at...
If you had not heard, BestBuy.com had a little "error" on it's site yesterday and was offering a 52" flat screen tv for $9.99. That's one heck of a deal! So how do people find these deals before they are gone?
I would have to say the most popular site to find these deals is SlickDeals.net

I heard about Ask.com's sign at SES San Jose, which was a humorous attempt to poach Yahoo Search staff, now that Microsoft's Bing search engine will be handling the search technology for Yahoo. Of course, I did search Ask.com, using the advertised query My company just gave up on search. Where do I work now?
Smartly,

I saw a thread on a .Mobi domain discussion forum that posed the question, "When will dotMobi shut down?" I know discussions about certain domain extensions are always hot button topics, so I want to refrain from the discussion about specific extensions. However, I want to ask if you have ever considered what would happen

It makes sense. Talking on the phone while driving is a distraction and leads to more crashes. So does text messaging.
So, how come there are only 17 states that have banned text messaging while driving and only 7 states that require hands-free devices for talking on the phone?? Seven?? I've had mine for so long Read more articles on this topic at ...

Inspired by Mike Berken's post today about changing surfing habits of younger generations, here is an August 2007 post of interest:I was inspired by Rick Schwartz’s time capsule post that showcases the power, yet loneliness, of long distance thinking.Being the "explorer" that I am, I went back to my PAPER archives to find my own time capsule; the 1...
Well, technically this isn't a domain story, but it illustrates how corporations view typosquatters. Gotta give this guy credit for a GREAT scam, though.Outside England's Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and eight buses. For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were £1 for cars ($1.40), £5 fo...

In a comical, though aggravating action initiated by a single Wikipedia admin, my account has been suspended under the false allegation that I have posted to the Domaining page from "multiple user accounts". One rather paranoid admin contacted another admin and accused me of posting to the Domaining page under multiple identities. LOL! In a...
The .net extension is naturally the second best and most popular choice if dot com is unavailable. No arguing that and the numbers speak for themselves. All other gTLD domains suck... Big time. They are all worthless and I wouldn't even know what to do with "premium" keyword domains that end in .mobi .travel .info .biz .tel and so on. I would not e...
They always say the first impression you get of someone is the most important. It is your job to make sure that you make a person first impression of you great.

On August 12 the ICA filed a comment letter with ICANN endorsing a proposal from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to move to an almost entirely paperless UDRP, also known as eUDRP.

I'm a little late in posting this as I received the email yesterday.? Since the email covers a number of topics pertaining to the latest updates involving the Bido.com auction platform, I felt it was better just to paste exactly what it said in a blog entry.
