Castello
Brothers Moving Their Home Base From Palm Springs to
Nashville, DNForum Goes Mobile and Marc Ostrofsky
Returns to The View Friday
|
Castello
Cities Internet Network,
the
corporate entity that administers the Castello
Brothers' blue chip portfolio of
geo/generic domain names and developed websites,
has been based in Palm Springs, California
since 1998 (PalmSprings.com
is one of CCIN's premier properties).
|
|
That
will officially change July 15th when Michael
and David Castello are relocating the
company's headquarters to Nashville - the
home of another one of their marquee websites - Nashville.com.
In fact, David told me that CCIN's development
work on Nashville.com over the past couple of
year's has turned the site into their largest
geo brand.

Rising
star Bree in Nashville |
Another
reason for the move is that David's
girlfriend, Bree, is a
rapidly rising Nashville
singer/songwriter who will be going into
the studio for rehearsals this month
with David in her backing band. David,
who is a professional drummer,
will join Bree for sessions that start
at Diamond Studios on July 21st,
the day before Bree's 22nd
birthday.
If
you happened to be at the 2010
T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Las Vegas
conference you will remember seeing
David light up the stage at the Hard
Rock Hotel when he performed a solo
set at an evening event on the show's
opening night.
In
another news item from the Castello
Brothers' camp, they will be delivering
a “State of the Geos” address
during lunch on Saturday, October 1,
2011 at the first ever GeoPublishers
Expo in Chicago. |

Elsewhere,
you can now follow the hundreds
of ongoing domain conversations
at the web's original domain
name forum - DNForum.com
- while you are on the go!
Owner Adam
Dicker just released
slick new smartphone apps for
iPhone and Android phones
that let you interact with the
more than 100,000 forum |

members
(and read over 1.7 million
posts) anywhere that a
cellphone signal exists. I
downloaded the $4.99
iPhone app last night and love
it. Discovering DNForum in early
2002 was one of the primary
reasons I got involved in this
industry and having the site in
my pocket wherever I go is an
advance I really
appreciate.

Marc
Ostrofsky
Author or Get Rich

One
other note today -
Domain industry pioneer Marc
Ostrofsky, author of
the best selling book Get
Rich Click!,
will be making a return
appearance on ABC-TV's
morning talk show The
View Friday
(July 8) at 11am
(U.S. Eastern time).
Marc first appeared on
the program June 9th (see
our review here)
and was such a hit the
producers immediately
asked him to come back.
Set your DVRs now to
make sure you catch his
return engagement Friday
morning.
Marc
gave domain names a huge
plug in his first
appearance on the show
but he really draws the
audience in by expanding
the scope of his advice
to cover multiple
ways to make
money on the web.
With the economy in the
doldrums and jobs harder
to find that hen's
teeth, Marc's message
comes at a perfect
time when millions
are seeking a viable way
to become their own
boss. Those of us in the
domain business know the
web makes that possible
and Marc is spreading
the good news. |
