Domain Roundtable Extended Auction Brings in $81,774
23 Jun 2009 | 10:55 pmThe Domain Roundtable extended auction ended Tuesday night with little fanfare. An additional 54 domain names sold with a total take of $81,774. From our observations of the auction proceedings, all but one of the domain names that sold went for the proxy bid prices that were entered before the finale of the auction began. Since it appeared that no one was bidding up the proxies, many of the NR or lower reserve names were won by the first proxy bids. In fact 42 of the 54 domains sold went for under $1000. Bidders that placed their proxy bids in early on this auction definitely… -

ICANN Asks for Feedback About Its Web Site
2 Jul 2009 | 11:22 amSurvey asks how ICANN can improve its web site. ICANN’s web site is outdated, and the organization knows it. It has hired an outside firm to perform usability analysis and improve the web site. The organization is serious about the effort; I spent 30 minutes on the phone today with its outside consultants discussing the site. You can complete a short, online survey here to provide your feedback about the site. I don’t want to sway the survey results, so I won’t give my specific opinions here. But take some time to complete the survey and provide meaningful suggestions. -

GoDaddy Files Patent for Method of Selling Equity in Domain Names
2 Jul 2009 | 7:35 amDomain registrar files patents for system to sell equity in domain names. Go Daddy Group Inc. has filed a patent for a method of selling equity in domain names and protecting the domain names in which the equity is issued. The patent is for a system that will facilitate the sale of shares in a domain name. The patent application explains that a number of institutions are interested in investing in domain names, but there isn’t a simple mechanism to do so. Conversely, many domain owners are interested in selling equity in their domain names, but need a way to connect with investors. The… -

Pizza Hut to rebrand as The Hut?
21 Jun 2009 | 6:00 amPizza Hut could slowly be rebranding as The Hut, according to several reports in marketing and media publications. The company has been adding pasta dishes to its menu lately, which also caused it to rebrand as Pasta Hut in the UK in 2008 (a decision I haven’t been fond of, either), so I can understand why Pizza Hut feels the need to change its name, in addition to appealing to a younger audience often referring to Pizza Hut simply as “The Hut”. However, Pizza Hut has been an established brand name for so many years, making me think dropping that name could alienate… -
Lexus blocking GoDaddy commercial
20 Jun 2009 | 4:43 pmIn a rather surprising move, Japanese automaker Lexus is blocking a GoDaddy commercial that was set to air twice during the upcoming US Open. In the TV commercial named “Speeding“, GoDaddy model Danica Patrick is driving a custom Ford Mustang, an American car. Lexus is NBC’s main television sponsor of the sports event and it has enforced that no other automakers shall be allowed to advertise on the channel during the US Open broadcast. You can look at Lexus’ decision from two points of view. On one side, it was an unlucky decision, because blocking a US… -
Steve Jobs underwent liver transplant
20 Jun 2009 | 8:15 amApple (NASDAQ: AAPL) co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs, 54, had a liver transplant about two months ago, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. There has been lots of speculation about Jobs’ health condition since he first addressed this issue at an Apple event in October. It was obvious that Jobs was seriously ill, given his worsening physical shape at that time. Jobs is going to return to Apple part-time in late June or early July already, but his future position in the company remains uncertain. It is possible that Apple COO and interim CEO Tim Cook will play a more important… -
What’s the value of a domain nobody wants to buy?
19 Jun 2009 | 4:11 pmWhat is an asset worth if no-one wants to buy? That’s the title of a post I read on Reuter’s DealZone blog today. I don’t want to comment on that specific article here, but the title triggered an interesting question about a phenomenon one can observe in the domain industry every day: Overpricing, or at least, different perceptions of value by buyers and sellers. So, what is a domain worth if there is nobody who wants to buy it? If there is nobody willing to pay your asking price? This is an interesting topic, because, technically, an asset doesn’t become completely… -
Yahoo sells Contests.com to National A-1 for $380,000
19 Jun 2009 | 4:46 amOn Tuesday, the domain name Contests.com was sold for $380,000 in the Aftermarket.com live domain auction held at the Domain Roundtable conference in Washington, DC. It was sold by Yahoo, and went to National A-1, a well-known buyer of generic domain names. Some bloggers and domain investors have already commented on the auction’s top sale, mostly saying the domain should have sold for more. TechCrunch, for example, said Yahoo was “selling killer domain names on the cheap“. I disagree with this statement. I think $380,000 is a fair price for Contests.com in today’s…

Who Needs More TLDs?
1 Jul 2009 | 8:13 pmICANN's Sydney meeting has come and gone, with the promised flood of new Top-Level Domains (TLDs) claimed to be ever closer to reality. Does the world need more TLDs? Well, no. Way back in the mid 1990s, it seemed obvious that Internet users would use the DNS as a directory, particularly once early web browsers started to add .COM to words typed in the address bar. This led to the first Internet land rush, with heavy hitters like Procter and Gamble registering diarrhea.com in 1995. Everyone wanted to get into .COM, since that was the de-facto directory for the Internet. Network Solutions, the… -

However I can say several of his songs put me in specific places in my life at specific times. For Michael Jackson it was cruising down Van Nuys Blvd looking for girls when I was in High School and the one single moment I can remember most vividly of that era was listening to the Jackson 5 on that Friday night. Decades ago but I can still touch it with my mind like it was last Friday Night.This morning I also learned…

The comment period closes on Monday July 6th.

TheJayLenoShow.com Goes To the Rightful Owner
2 Jul 2009 | 5:40 pmIt seems like a no-brainier to me, but I have seen at least 10 stories in the mainstream media about this today and no one reported it on domaining.com, so I’ll bite. TheJayLenoShow.com was ordered transferred to Mr. Leno in a WIPO action today. The domain was originally registered by Guadalupe Zambrano of Texas, back in 2004, while Mr.Leno was firmly entrenched as the host of “The Tonight Show” and years before anyone knew (including Jay Leno) that there would ever be a Jay Leno Show. Still, the domain was pointed to Zambrano’s real estate site, which certainly… -

The domain was originally registered by Guadalupe Zambrano of Texas, back in 2004, while Mr.Leno was firmly entrenched as the host of “The Tonight Show” and years before anyone knew (including Jay Leno) that there would ever be a Jay Leno Show. Still, the domain was pointed to Zambrano’s real estate site, which certainly… -

Toys.com goes to Toys R Us for 5.1 million USD!
27 Feb 2009 | 2:23 pmLarry from DirectNavigation.com is currently covering the live auction of Toys.com. Famous domainer, Frank Schilling, dropped out after the bids rose to 2.9 Million. This seems to be a battle between 2 giants, Toys R Us and National A-1 . Current bid (at time of writing) has reached 4.9 Million . (I think we’re reaching the peak 5Million, my estimate) National A-1 seems to be using a precise tactic, of raising Toys R Us bid by 5K everytime… That’s a great psychological game. ToysR Us now knows whatever bid they place, National A1 will raise it by 5K. they’re… -
