development project - PrescriptionDrugs.com.
The Harvard Business School has selected Zapolin's
written plan for the site as a candidate for the top prize
in their "New Ventures" competition. As a
result he will be heading to Boston in a couple of
weeks to present to a distinguished panel of
judges, with the goal of being selected as one of three
semi-finalists who will move on to compete for the top
prize.
Zappy told us, "PrescriptionDrugs.com's
site is dedicated to helping people find the information,
and discounts they desperately need.The opportunity for PrescriptionDrugs.com is in the
data that people provide us when they tell us about
their ailments, symptoms, and current

medications.This information is extremely valuable to
pharma companies and doctors, when searching for clinical
trial subjects, or when launching a new, or competing
drug.Case in
point, it costs pharma companies more than $1 Billion
to launch a new drug, and clinical trial patients are
worth between $3,000 and $20,000 to a doctor
handling a study."
Zappy added, "We are
also very excited about the fact that Sanjiv Chopra,
Dean of Continuing Education at Harvard Medical School
has joined our board of advisors!
PrescriptionDrugs.com
isn't the only major project Zapolin has underway.
Many of you have heard about his InternetWarrior.com
website that is designed to teach people the ins and
outs of the domain business. The site offers Zappy's
Internet Warrior hard cover book, two
tutorial DVDs and an annual membership to the
website for $39.95 (+ $9.95 shipping and
handling). A free domain appraisal and a three-month
trial membership to the InternetWarrior.com Insider's
Club is also included. Insider's Club benefits
include access to live coaching calls with
Zapolin.
I
just received a copy of Zappy's book (written with Alys
R. Yablon) and after I read it I'll follow up
with some impressions of it for you.
Zapolin
has been involved in the sales and/or development of
some of the best generic domain names on the web,
including CreditCards.com, Computer.com,
Telephone.com, Diamond.com, College.com and Beer.com
to name just a few.
We need your help to keep giving domainers The
Lowdown, so please email [email protected]with any interesting information you might have. If possible,
include the source of your information so we can check it out (for
example a URL if you read it in a forum or on a site
elsewhere).
