Our
comprehensive review of the
first T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
conference ever held outside the United States
was published today. T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Down Under, ably staged by Fabulous.com
under a licensing agreement with T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
co-founders Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu,
attracted domain owners from around the world to Australia's
scenic Gold Coast.
Our
wire to wire wrap up article features dozens of
previously unseen photos and inside show info that
you won't find anywhere else. We also pass along a
lot of excellent tips for domainers and website
developers that were part of the expert
presentations at TDU. Once
you read the full story I think you'll understand
why a lot of attendees said this unique edition of
the pioneering conference was the best
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. show yet. You
can read all about it here.

Stephen
Webb

California)
plans to make development their primary theme. Stephen
Webb, a guy who was in the news several times
last year after registering thousands of domains
with "I Am" or "We Are"
prefixes is finding some development success with
his WeAreRadio.com
site that is devoted to the local music scene in
his hometown of Charleston, South Carolina.
Webb's project was just featured in an article
published by the Charleston City Paper.
In addition to owning
the site, Webb is WeAreRadio's main announcer.
Webb told writer T. Ballard Lesemann
"The genesis was a domain name that I
had. I knew it was a fantastic way to tell the
world about what we were doing, which was
developing some of our many domain names into web
sites." |
|
While
Webb is focusing on audio, a lot of people
building video rich websites appear to be driving
growth on the .tv extension. While I was
away covering T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Down Under in
Australia eNom announced
the renewal of their Domain Name Services
Agreement with VeriSign, under |
|
which eNom serves as
the registrar for premium .tv domain names. eNom
said that both companies have reinforced their
commitment to building the .tv brand as the
premier destination for video and rich media
content on the Internet. According to VeriSign,
the .tv domain has experienced annual growth of over
60% for the .tv base and a doubling of
new .tv domain name registrations. |
|
|
Chris
Sheridan, vice president of sales for eNom,
said “We are very excited about extending our
relationship with VeriSign on .tv. With
VeriSign’s continued branding efforts, our eNom
Resellers should be well positioned to participate
in the continued positive growth of this popular
extension.”
