Several
tidbits for you today. In case you missed it
when it went up yesterday, our comprehensive review of
the Domain Roundtable conference that ended last
week in San |
|
Auctioneer
David O'Shaughnessy directing
last week's Domain Roundtable live auction. |
Francisco has been published
here. In that article we mentioned a minor
flap had developed between organizers of the Roundtable
live auction and new appraisal firm DomainConsultant.com
who was called on to help select domains for the sale.
After the auction concluded with a large drop off in
total sales compared to last year's event,
DomainConsultant offered their view of what went wrong
in an article on their site
published April 23. Today they followed up with another
article.
Though the auction didn't
go as well as last year (for a number of reasons) there
was still a lot to like about the DRT show, including a
great venue, strong educational program and excellent
networking opportunities. We take you through the
conference hour by hour in our exclusive wrap
up article. |

Following
the LH.com fiasco yesterday,
it was good to get news
today that the British owners of MySpace.co.uk
are getting their domain back. Even though they
registered the name six years before MySpace.com
even existed, Nominet's Dispute Resolution Service
(DRS) took the domain away from them in January.
Now, an independent appeals panel has stepped in and reversed
that poor DRS decision.

Fabulous.com,
who will host the first overseas T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
conference November 18-20, 2008 on Australia's
Gold Coast is reminding those who plan to go
that tomorrow is the last day you can register
at the reduced $995 early bird rate (the
price jumps to $1295 May 1). Visit TrafficDownUnder.com
to register or get more information on the
event.
One other note
today, WashingtonVC
has added Adam Goozh to their executive
team as Managing Director. Mr Goozh's bio is
posted on the WashingtonVC site.
He will primarily focus on strategic relationships, fund development, business planning, and due diligence matters.
Goozh holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and a J.D. from
The Georgetown University Law Center and
he is a
member of the Maryland and District of Columbia bar. |
