I'm
currently traveling on a brief vacation so have
been getting online just once a day before leaving the
hotel in the morning. Several things have arrived in my
inbox since I posted |
|
yesterday morning. NameMedia
announced
a deal with Tucows that, effective
immediately, makes NameMedia's popular Afternic.com
the exclusive platform for expired domain auctions
involving names registered with Tucows. That will add over
100,000 domains a month to Afternic's already
massive inventory of aftermarket and expiring
domains. |

The
inventory list for the SnapNames
Live domain auction a week from today (Friday,
June 20) at the DomainerMeeting
conference in Paris has been released. Gems
like Aftermarket.com, Hotels.eu, Holland.net
and Golfing.org dot the list. Meanwhile, SnapNames' sister company, |
|
Moniker.com
is reminding domain
owners that Wednesday (June 18) is the
deadline for submitting names in bulk for the live
auction at the Internext
Expo coming up August 8 in Hollywood,
Florida. Limited submissions will be accepted
through June 25 then only one-word premium domains
through July 2. |
If you are planning to go to
the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
New York conference Sept. 23-26, you
can save $500 off the standard admission if you register
by Sunday (June 15) when the early bird rate will
expire.
|
Another conference I am
looking forward to is the GeoDomain
Expo in Chicago July 10-12. GeoDomainer.com
is giving away a free ticket to that event in
a contest currently underway at their site. To
enter, you will need to sign up for a free
membership at GeoDomainer.com, then visit the Groups
section and click on the GeoDomainer Contest
link for full contest details. |
