Dnjournal has an interesting story today about the recent GeoDomain conference.
Highly recommended to all geo domain owners. Among the contest nomination for top developed city domains were such gems as:
Vegas.com
Richmond.com
Hawaii.com
Branson.com read more »
Many top names are being auctioned through various venues this time.
Sedo leads the way, with such gems as:
xp.com
xu.com
zr.com
bond.com
directories.com
resorts.net
nicole.com
Also, as usually, a few names with super high reserves that don’t have much chance (although we’ll likely see them shill bidded to the reserve by the end of the auction):
vino.com 200,000 - 499,999 $US
housewares.com 1,000,000 $US +
vinos.com 50,000 - 199,999 $US read more »
Domain registration “wholesaler” and service provider Tucows (AMEX: TCX) has revealed data about its domain holdings. With over 150,000 domains, the portfolio makes up a significant part of the company’s value, which likely hasn’t been fully captured in its stock price. Its shares on the AMEX are sitting at $.63, just off a 52 week low of $.53 and well below a high of $1.41. (I’m assuming that Tucows is revealing these details because it doesn’t feel its stock reflects the value.)
Its portfolio includes:
-1,000 domains the company considers “gems” (see a sample below)
-39,000 surnames (last names), most of which were part of the NetIdentity acquisition
-22,000 “brandable” names
-88,000 direct navigation namesTucows CEO Elliot Noss says the company has sold thousands of domains and will continue to sell individually and in bundles. Tucows has internal tools to evaluate its domains for faster resale, and sells them through a variety of venues including live and silent auctions.
Among the company’s “gems” are:
Actresses.com
Liberals.com
