keynote speaker at the DOMAINfest
Global Conference in Hollywood,
California January 28th, it has been announced
that Wozniak, a self-professed "geek", will be
one of the 13 contestants when ABC-TV's next
season of their popular Dancing With The Stars
ball room dancing competition debuts March 9th. The
59-year-old Wozniak will be paired with a professional
dancer to compete against 12 other couples for the
show's gaudy mirror ball trophy. Wozniak, who reminds you of a big
teddy bear, might seem like an unlikely competitor on
the dance floor but the man has a personality and sense
of adventure that may help him beat the odds and slip
through at least the early rounds. If Cloris Leachman
could do it, Woz certainly can. Wozniak
also already has some TV experience under his belt. He
was a regular on Kathy Griffin: My Life on the
D-List because he was dating the comedian. I've
enjoyed the previous seasons of Dancing With the
Stars but knowing there will be an Internet guy to
root for this time will make the new season
special. |

Skip
Hoagland
Founder, Domain New Media LLC |
Geo domain giant Skip
Hoagland will be the live guest on Domain
Success's latest installment of its Gratitude
online interview series tomorrow night (Feb. 11)
at 8pm U.S. Eastern time. Hoagland, who was
featured in our July 2008 Cover
Story, owns and operates geo gems like
Atlanta.com, MyrtleBeach.com and BuenosAires.com
as well as generic jewels like Fishing.com.
During the one-hour
show Hoagland will detail how he has solved a
problem that has vexed so many large portfolio
owners - how do you successfully develop a large
number of domain names at once? As Hoagland told
us, the key is joining forces with the right
partners. For his geo properties Hoagland told
us his favorite prospects are " the people
with the local city or tourist magazines. They're
easier to talk to (than the local newspaper or TV
stations) and |
|
already have an
office and sales people, so we go in and offer
them from 30% to 50% of the gross revenues
to sell ads on our city site as well as provide
some local content for us." I guarantee you
Skip will give you some things to think about so
be sure to check out the program. |
