As I traveled by airplane during the change of the year, I could not but notice how the rules of the traveling game have become stricter. After the incident with the Nigerian terrorist who attempted to blow up a Delta Airlines plane bound for Detroit, there is no more room for mistakes.

It's annual culling time for the domain portfolio again.
Last year, I was pretty brutal and let around 40% of my portfolio go – either by selling off names at low cost, or just letting the names expire.
Expiry was a great option, because who wants to mess around with transfers when the selling price is low?

Good content sessions planned for January domain conferences.
I rarely go to sessions and panels at trade shows. I prefer to spend my time networking. That's especially true at domain name shows, because I usually find the programming banal. But that may change this month. The agendas for both T.R.A.F.F.I.C. and DOMAINfest
Recent coverage of internationalized domain names was erroneous.

What happens when you register a .au domain name for a gripe site about a politician behind Australia's push for net censorship? It gets censored.

The Snuggie For Kids® blanket with sleeves which once started out being marketed the confusing name Snugglette, has been a very hot little product! I started marketing this product nearly the first day that it was launched and I called it Snuggie For Kids from the start.

Domain name parking use to be a pretty good choice for large portfolio domain name owners and still is in a way. The biggest reason why so many still do it, is because there isn't something as easy to come out yet that works well. My domain name parking revenues are 1/3 of what they
Domain related companies are starting to pop-up for sale all over the place lately! It's a new year, but I'm not sure if this is a good sign or a bad one for the domain industry!

When trying to buy a domain name from a person or company in private, I frequently come across private registrations. I usually use the Whois history tool to see if there was an email address previously on file. I concurrently visit the website to see if there is contact information on the page.

What I love about this business is most domain investors never grew up wanting to be in the domaining industry. Most of us fell in to domains by one way or another but never from a childhood dream of owning a domain name.
