                        I just got back from Tallahassee late today 
                        but
                        may as well not bother unpacking the bags as it's off to
                        Amsterdam Saturday for the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
                        ccTLDs conference in the Netherlands.
                        Before I head back out I'll be putting together a new
                        weekly domain
                        sales report that will be out Thursday
                        night.  |  
                      | Sedo
                      is likely to rack up some more sizeable sales tomorrow
                      (Thursday, May 28) when their latest GreatDomains.com
                      premium auction ends at 1pm U.S.  Eastern
                      time. Domains going on the block will include 80.com,
                      BabyClothing.com and CD.net. You can see the
                      complete auction inventory here.

                      | While I was
                      on the road yesterday, NameMedia announced
                      another expansion of their AfternicDLS
                      domain sales platform that includes BuyDomains.com.
                      A strategic partnership with TradeMark
                      Express will allow the AfternicDLS and
                      BuyDomains to offer their catalog of more than 2
                      million domains for purchase through TradeMark
                      Express’s full-service trademarking process.

                              President Chris DeMassa said
                              “TradeMark Express is excited to partner with
                              NameMedia. Obtaining a premium domain name and
                              ensuring that name is legally available go hand in
                              hand; domain name buyers must make sure their
                              proposed domain name is legally clear of existing
                              trademark or common-law names that are similar in
                              sound, appearance or meaning."  The senior
                              vice-president and general manager of
                              NameMedia’s domain marketplace, Pete  |  
                            | Lamson, said
                              “TradeMark Express’s customers will benefit
                              from having access to the world’s largest domain
                              portfolio, providing them with enhanced options to
                              create and protect their brand while driving
                              traffic to their businesses.” |  |
