Over the past few years, I have been involved in purchasing high level generic domains. Some of those domains were bought through auctions at Snapnames.

I think the rollout of the new TLD?s is going to be a very interesting time. It may feel like the California gold rush of the 1840?s. Some will strike it rich while other will end up with fools gold.
