The venerable .ORG registry is celebrating its 25th anniversary this week. It was on July 10, 1985 that the first .ORG domain name was registered. Since PIR took over operation of the registry in 2003 it has grown by 300% to over 8.5 million active domain names.
First diapers.com, now soap.com. It's been a couple months since I first became aware that the company that owns Diapers.com was getting ready to launch a new store at Soap.com. Today the store went live. Soap.com is an online store for toiletries and other household products. Think of it as the section of Target that
Company files information with SEC regarding legal setback. Shortly after receiving an adverse decision in appeals court last week regarding an anti-trust lawsuit, VeriSign filed an 8-K with the SEC explaining the opinion. The disclosure summarizes changes to the court's original order, and says the allegations are without merit: On July 9, 2010, t...
First .music, now .berlin want extra credit for being early to the new TLD game. I wrote previously about how one applicant for the .music top level domain name requested favored status since he had been working on the concept for so long. Now another group is asking for similar status. dotBERLIN GmbH & Co.,
Yahoo to transition to Bing search results very soon. It's time to stop talking about Yahoo search rankings and the traffic the search engine delivers to your site. Starting as early as next month, no one will care how well you've tricked Yahoo into ranking your site well. Today Yahoo! sent out a communication to
Tucker Carlson's publication The Daily Caller buys domain name KeithOlbermann.com. From one political pundit to another: I own you! Tucker Carlson has acquired the domain name KeithOlbermann.com. Actually, it's Carlson's The Daily Caller that acquired the domain name, and now shows this: Apparently Olbermann has been blasting The Daily Caller of la...
More domain name issues for ChatRoulette. ChatRoulette.com has become somewhat of a hot button topic in domainer circles thanks to the CamRoulette.com saga. So it's interesting to see a new set of features from ChatRoulette with domain implications. First, the company launched ChannelRoulette and LocalRoulette. The site doesn't own the correspondin...

People become famous overnight for many reasons and Your Name becomes vital keywords.

I was reading TechCrunch this morning, when I saw the article about the launch of Soap.com, a new website owned and operated by Quidsi, the company that owns and operates Diapers.com. According to the article, the company plans for Soap.com to "offer more than 40,000 products by the end of 2010 and more than 100,000

I was looking at upcoming dropping domain names on FreshDrop.net a couple of days ago, and I saw that the nice 3 letter domain name JIS.com was pending deletion at Network Solutions. According to the last Whois record before the deletion in June, the domain name was owned by a company named Jacksonville Internet Services,

The news circling the political pundit websites today is that The Daily Caller, a website founded by Tucker Carlson, purchased KeithOlbermann.com. On the new website, there's a bold headline, "WE OWN YOU The Daily Caller acquires KeithOlbermann.com."
Ironically, it was Andrew Allemann who pointed out that Tucker Carlson had to go the UDRP route to ...
Here's another SkewURL (that would be Askew-URLs for the uninitiated). Peter thought this was "cringe-worthy" but I don't mind the URL selection. Would love to see Leading Caps, though. 1ForAll.us. Now that's something I can get behind. If they really want this website to stand for something, they should make those letters stand out!
Domainer Chris Brown asked me what I thought of this URL. While I like the selection and presentation (despite the spacing issues), I can't see this fetching anywhere near the asking price of $150k. Brown is holding steady to his belief that this could be the first six word domain sale to break the six figure barrier. If that happens, we'll surely ...
United really plussed up this URL. Nice Leading Caps. No dubs. They should get a positive charge from this one!
I don't hate the alternate domain (non-dot-com) because it bares the initials of the key words. It sucks that the decal has the first "c" caught in the crevice though. Dot-cc is already a not easily recognized TLD, much less when half of one of the letters is cut off. This URL's gonna make ya sweat til ya bleed. Finally, it's happened to me.
Behold the HELLAAMBIGUITY that is ALLCAPS. The name of this building is Park Kingsbury Lofts but the eye is trained to read Parking, especially when looking at a sign on a building! Reminds me of Nosmo King...Image Source
Peter Askew sent this one in from Seattle. Love how they use "Smoke" like it's a verb rather than an adjective. At least the URL is sea-worthy, as in worthy of being seen.
Most in the watch industry consider Patek Philippe the world's best watch maker. Today we got in inventory their most iconic of designs, the men's Calatrava 5120. It's not just any Calatrava though, it's a solid 18k gold Calatrava complete with box and papers. The Calatrava, introduced in 1932, set the standard for round wristwatches....
Good Evening Folks!! I have just been notified by Howard Neu that we have successfully defended the domain name GOOFOFF.COM for a second time. The first time back in 1999 with a Federal Court victory that included them paying my attorney fees. Today, Howard once again successful. This time at the NAF. Both are big victories and a BIG thanks to my p...

That's a bold statement. And for my friends at TZ, DomainSponsor, Roar, NameDrive and other well-run PPC locations to put your relevant domains, this doesn't mean bad times for them – they're not making any money on your non-performing "typein" domains anyway. It's just that...
The live domain name auction at Domainfest which will be held in New York on August 18th features 44 domains priced over $100K. With the auction just a little over a month away, I'm going to start a poll so you can predict which domain(s) you think will sell, if any. I'm starting with the

Apple is calling a press conference tomorrow to discuss problems with iPhone4. The grapevine suggests that they will offer all iPhone 4 buyers some kind of compensation.

As you know I'm a die-hard Apple fan. I was a fan in the 90′s and even when they were declining I knew they had the potential to do something great. Well, they did more than one thing great since the 90′s – they did just about everything better than everyone! I have a Mac
There were a couple of comments about how poor the recent drops are where from NameJet, Snapnames, and Godaddy. I would have to agree that the quality is certainly down but it there will be times when there is a run of good names and times when it runs dry. We're dry right now. I
So you've learned a lot as a domainer, you're a smart guy with good looks – a person who appreciates the entrepreneurial lifestyle and you are success-driven. Why waste all your good DNA upon your demise? A new company is in the works that will allow all domainers to deposit their good genes into cryogenically-sealed
According to a DNForum thread, these valuable domains were stolen and recovered by their previous registrar, Tucows, after being reported as unlawfully removed from the legitimate owner's account: BQ.com – YCW.com and USD.net But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Tomorrow we will unveil how an established domainer did the right thing and re...
The biggest domaining news in the last year broke today. The Generic Names Supporting Organization Council (GNSO), which deals with policy making on generic top-level domains (gTLDs) made a motion to send the below letter to ICANN.
