When I sent my first international email to Illinois, it felt unreal receiving an answer back within minutes. Despite one's technological background, this kind of instant communication was brand new in the late 80′s and early 90′s. In today's world, email seems so trivial and common that one does not think twice about it. Everyone...
I like Owen Frager – for what he stands: old school, corporate and surrounded by the laurels of a career spanning several decades. In fact, I dedicated to him – via DomainGang – an entire article: "10 reasons why we like Frager Factor". But lately, Owen seems to have been fixated with other domainers, to
Tired of getting ripped off by people selling domains with bogus traffic and revenue statistics? Andrew Allemann's new DNW Stats service aims to put a choke hold on the cheaters. Also today, some answers to our latest Who Are They? Challenge.
.XXX gets the yellow light at board meeting. The ICANN Board adopted a resolution yesterday that will allow ICM Registry's application for .xxx to move forward. But it may not be a quick process, and a new can of worms will be opened allowing for another comment period on the actual registry contract. Here's the
Sri Lanka and Thailand join ranks of countries getting their own ccTLD in their own language. ICANN has delegated three more internationalized domain names for top level country code domain names. Yesterday the ICANN board approved a resolution delegating two top level domains for Sri Lanka and one for Thailand: Delegation of IDN ccTLDs: 1.
Registry operators for .jobs and .travel get their wishes. .Jobs and .Travel, two top level domains that probably would have done better if they were released as generic TLDs rather than sponsored, got positive results from ICANN's board meeting yesterday. At least as far as the registries are concerned. First, the .jobs registry received permissio...
Zuccarini responds to contempt charges, alleges contempt himself. The ongoing battle of John Zuccarini and the assignee in Office Depot's cybersquatting case is getting even more interesting. To bring you up to speed: -Zuccarini was found to have cybersquatted on Office Depot -DS Holdings "bought" the judgment Office Depot won, so now it is owed...
Successor to FindWhat unloads domain name. Vertro (VTRO) reported second quarter results yesterday, and that included a gain of about $285,000 from the sale of a domain name. Domainers probably know Vertro as the successor of FindWhat. After doing some checking with Vertro, I confirmed that the domain name was Screensavers.com. Moniker auctioned th...
Another milestone. What's next? It has taken .co just two and a half weeks to hit a big milestone: today the .co domain name surpassed 400,000 domain name registrations according to the ticker on its web site. Although the rate of registrations will obviously slow over time, this is a fantastic launch. Including roughly 39,000
Demand Media files for IPO, with Goldman the lead banker. Demand Media, the parent company of eNom, has filed to go public and raise up to $125 million. I'm reading through the S-1 as we speak, so this article will expand. Here are some of the details: -The company generated $198 million in revenue last
Looking up potential domains at eNom? The company uses that data in many ways. Demand Media CEO Richard Rosenblatt has referred to the data from eNom and its value to the company before, but it's newly filed S-1 explains the value succinctly. It uses the data not only for its content business, but also to
The domain name BrainBox.com has sold at Sedo.com for $30,000 USD. BrainBox.com has been registered since 1999 and owned by the same person since at least 2003 according to whois records. Although there was a "website" on the domain name, the site simply was a portfolio site as the owner is a web developer. The

Morning Folks!! We had 7 pets this time last year. Then in May we lost Pearl after 2 of them got very sick last November. Last Night our oldest cat “Bully??? who was near 10, died. He had cancer and was undergoing Chemo since last November. He had been doing well and then a setback. Bully had 9 lives and more. He was perhaps the wildest cat ever. W...
After I read DomainNameWire.com coverage of the ICANN resolution on the .XXX Extension and the very negative comments that followed the post,? I reached out to Stuart Lawley, CEO of the ICM registry. In Andrew's post here stated: ""It may not be a quick process, and a new can of worms will be opened allowing
DomainNameWire.com has been writing about the receiver in charge of Zuccarini's domains wanting to auction off the remainder of Zuccarini domains at the TRAFFIC South Beach show. While Zuccarini and the Trustee are fighting it out, the TRAFFIC show organizers have a clear message concerning auctioning off these domains at their event; No Way. No...
Demand Media Filed its S-1, notice to the Securities and Exchange Commission,? which is basically their prospectus to go public. Last year it reported $22 million in losses on $198 million in revenues. In the first six months of this year, its net loss was only $6 million, on revenues of $108 million. 44% of
From the S-1 application Demand Media filed today is this little gem, that none of us would be too happy saying if it was our own business: ""We were founded in 2006 and have a limited operating history." "We have had a net loss in every year since inception." "As of June?30, 2010, we had

We like Arco but want to point out that this "new" generation he refers to comes with a birth defect- they have no business experience. They have no insight and perspective into how it used to be so they can understand and architect how it should become.OK so Bruce Marler, George Pickering, Morgan Linton and Elliot Silver defy my logic. Yet they ar...
Because I can't have people just making things up, making assumptions when there is a record on Feedburner that is clear. I can't tolerate Internet rumor mongers who just want attention for themselves by calling attention (and robots) to infringe on the good names of others.Most who rant and rave have no idea of what's on this blog and the valuable...
Just found a copy of a bank check that I received for the first domain I ever sold over 10 years ago. It was a 10-character domain consisting of numbers and words. I've redacted the name on the check to protect the privacy of the escrow agent. The buyer, a huge political pollster, found me via the whois (which is almost how every closed sale that I...
The company was asking if I wanted to be found on the first page of Google. Did you know you could buy local search engine optimization in a mall???
Since I like to instigate a bit I thought it would be fun to quiz the person in the booth about getting my business found on the first page of Google. My wife thought it best to walk away before it st...
Spending a few minutes choosing the right parking provider and customizing a good parking page can add additional credibility to your domain and increase your chances of selling to an end user.

A couple of weeks ago news spread that Google would be opening-up Geo-Targeting for .CO. For those who don't know what that means, let me quickly explain. Geo-Targeting is a feature in Google Webmaster Tools that allows you to specify which country you'd like to target with Google. This option is only available for domains

There has been a rather entertaining war of words between some of the more widely read bloggers in the domaining world.?? I have to admit it's mostly fueled by the type A, hot tempered Owen Frager, but emotion can drive both brilliance and stupidity. Owen, like all of us, shows bits of each.? I've enjoyed
