I told my wife last night that my friend Morgan Linton of Domainvestors.tv is going to attempt something that, to my knowledge, has never been done before, which is to get a domain related TV show on air. My wife looked at me and said, "Who would watch that?". I admit, I raised my hand
In December of 2008, Verizon won a default judgment of $33 million against domain registrar OnlineNic.

The Register reports today that the judge in the case

I was doing a little browsing this morning and ran into a pretty interesting domain name that just hit the expired domain name market, FDA.net .
FDA.net was first registered in August of 1997 and has been since.

Although I have had not much luck using the Commission Junction (CJ.com) affiliate network, I do still use it for Godaddy ads as that's who they use and I like Godaddy. Well, I just tried to log into my account over at CJ.com and get an expired SSL error when trying to log in.

Congratulations to my good friend and domain investor Aron Meystedt on his acquisition of Symbolics.com. This is a piece of history changing hands after almost 25 years owned by the same company.
