SlideShow.com.
In June Domain owner Gil Benatar contributed the
name to the Slideshow.com, LLC that is jointly
owned by Benatar and Domain
Strategies. Within two months the
attractive fully developed site for for posting, sharing
and publishing presentations and pictures was up and
running.
Domain
Strategies President and CEO Scott Fasser
said, “We combined technology from Identity.net
for single sign-on, iPaper for publishing from Scribd.com,
open source image management, as well as proprietary
content in order to create Slideshow.com.” Funding
for the site came from Rob Monster's Seattle-based
Monster Venture Partners.
Monster
said, "Gil has been an ideal business partner for
this venture, not only because of his contribution of the
premier domain name in the

space, but also for his 20
years of knowledge and expertise in the development of
presentations and communication tools. The initial site is
a foundation for growth into the premier online utility
for posting and sharing presentations in a secure
environment using the Identity.net user management
framework.”

Benatar said, “I was
interested in building a great business on the
Slideshow.com domain and the approach by Rob Monster
and Scott Fasser of Domain Strategies was the
perfect fit for my situation. The fact that we were
able to research, plan, build and launch a
relatively complex site within a couple of months
was very impressive.” |

You'll
be hearing more and more stories similar to this one
as owners of top domain names enter partnerships to
get their properties developed. I am aware of
several such projects currently underway that
involve well-known domain owners. Partnerships like
this are the logical next step beyond PPC for those
looking to take their assets to another level and
free themselves from dependence on Google or Yahoo..
