T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Co-Founder Howard Neu Enters the Blogosphere With
HowardNeu.com + Sendori Gets Two Patents Related to
Domain Leasing

T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Co-Founder Howard Neu
celebrated his birthday today by
launching a personal blog at HowardNeu.com.
The thing that will probably surprise you the
most is the |
|
fact
that Howard, who was featured in our April
2009 Cover Story, plans to write
about many things other than domains. In the
introductory post on his new site today, Neu
wrote, "I am not going to write about what
others write about, but rather, I will either be
reporting on matters that no one else is writing
about, or give my opinion on those matters."
While
Neu will be happy to answer reader's questions
about the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
conference or domain investing, he is
encouraging visitors to join in discussions he
will generate devoted to other areas in which he
has gained expertise over the years. Those
include UDRP or ACPA law suits,
general law, politics (he has been a mayor, a
councilman, a municipal judge and has run a
number of political campaigns), music (he has
sung professionally and semi-professionally
throughout his life), theater (he has appeared
many times on South Florida stages) and movies
(he has had roles in films like Smokey |

and
the Bandit II and Porky's
2). Neu will also touch on radio and TV
talk shows (he produced and hosted his own shows
for many years) as well as Jewish Liturgy
(he was a choir director for 35 years and his
father was a Cantor). Clearly, he will have no
shortage of subjects to talk about. |
Neu
just acquired HowardNeu.com as a gift from his
son Ray who, unbeknownst to Howard, had been
quietly pursuing the domain for several years. Ray
finally succeeded in acquiring the name a few weeks ago,
just in time to present it to his surprised dad as the
perfect birthday present. Ray got Danny Pryor to
design a site for Howard so his dad could hit the ground
running once he learned he was the new owner of
HowardNeu.com. We wish Howard a Happy Birthday and best
of luck with his latest endeavor.

Also today, Sendori
announced the company's applications for two
individual U.S. patents relating to its
web navigation redirect technology have been
approved. |
The patents relate to “an
electronic marketplace which allows owners of
unused domain names to lease their domains to bidding
advertisers." Advertisers receive visitors
redirected from domains which match their keywords.
Sendori’s patent application numbers on file with the U.S.
Patent & Trademark Office are 11/532,833
and 12/048,991.
Ofer Ronen,
Co-Founder of Sendori (now an operating business of
IAC (Nasdaq: IACI) and a division of Ask
Sponsored Listings) said, "We are thrilled to
have the Sendori patent approved. It cements our
position as innovators in the domain monetization space."
