This is the kind of news that you will be hearing a lot for the days to come, especially on its launch today.
Rick Latona effectively changes the paradigm of delivering a list of domains for sale: the domains are now placed on a 24-hour auction, with the clock ticking as soon as the newsletter notification
This post was sent to me earlier and as I knew this long before we started to build Bido, now others are noticing as well. The post goes into describing Bido and what/how we do it and ends with the following conclusion:
I know I titled this blog post ?Bido vs. Sedo,? but, for my use case at least, there is no comparison. Bido works, Sedo doesn?t.

Rick Latona converts his popular domain sales newsletter into a daily 24-hour auction that will run on the Latonas.com platform. Plus, Sedo rings up over $785,000 in .TV sales through an online auction topped by Business.tv at over $100,000.
Rick Latona is switching things up a bit!
In a nutshell, he's taking what used to be his daily newsletter and has turned it into a daily auction instead. For the inaugural auction the inventory will have a $1.00 reserve, but going forward after that the names will go back to having a "buy now" price.

New TLD debate has degenerated into nonsense.

How many registrations should a new TLD expect?
A call for new top level domain name applicants to be realistic about how many domains they can sell is coming from an unlikely source: domain name registry Afilias.
In a blog post today, Afilias points out that history tells us new TLDs don't get substantial registrations:
…Well, here we...
Sellers disputes auction, saying it didn't authorize sale of domain.
Last month the domain name MobilePhones.co.uk sold on Sedo for 91,500 GPB. At the time, that was about $137,000 USD. Since then, the buyer received some unfortunate news: apparently the seller is saying it didn't authorize the domain name to be sold.

Tom's Shoes clearly understands that a short, catchy, easy to remember, make sense domain name is best for them and use Toms.com for their main domain name. Not only does Tom's Shoes own and use a great generic domain name, for every pair of shoes they sell, they donate a brand new pair of shoes
