Booming After Star-Studded Launch Party in India
- Founder Coming to T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Las Vegas +
Directi Launches .IN.NET & SEOBlog.com Makes
Debut
|
Lots
of ground to cover today!
Back in December
I told you about .BIZ baron Anshul
Goyal and the new email service he was
developing at Email.biz.
This is a big time effort and Goyal made that
clear at the official Email.biz launch party
last month in New Delhi, India where he
was accompanied by the service's new brand
ambassador, Bollywood film star and
supermodel Yaana Gupta. You can see the
full press release about the Email.biz launch here
(.pdf file). Registered
users of Email.biz can choose from over 20,000
premium domains (including one and two letter
domains) to create an email address
incorporating their name, company’s name or
their nickname. Users can also

check
mail from all of their accounts at other
services from within their Email.biz
account, making it a one stop solution. If
you are going to next week's T.R.A.F.F.I.C conference
in Las Vegas, you can get more details
about the rapidly growing service directly
from Anshul who will be flying in from India
for the conference.

Speaking of T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Las Vegas, show founder
Rick Schwartz announced this morning
that the show is responding to requests
for a one-day pass to specific days
at the event that runs May 29-June 1
at the Bellagio Hotel.
To meet those
requests, Schwartz created two
additional pass options:
Pass #1
includes the Wednesday Night Opening
Cocktail party PLUS all Thursday events,
including Breakfast, Lunch, Seminars,
|
Auction,
Party and the Best Networking in the
Industry. The cost for that is $1395.
Pass
#2 includes the Thursday Night Water
School Party plus all Friday events,
including Breakfast, Networking Lunch,
Seminars and After Party. Cost for that is
$895 including the $50 donation to
the Water School on your behalf.
Schwartz
noted, "Personally I don't encourage one day passes because you are truly
not getting the total benefit of
what we do, but I do understand some
schedules these days are very tight
so we are making this accommodation for
the show.
"
Elsewhere,
the Directi
Group, India’s largest
supplier of domain names, has
launched a new internet addressing
domain, .IN.NET.
The new privately operated, Indian
focused address will offer
shorter, more memorable names that
are otherwise hard to find in .com,
.net or .in.
Directi Group Founder and CEO Bhavin
Turakhia said, "Our aim is
to make name scarcity a non-issue
and offer all Indians a short,
memorable name at a very affordable
price.”

.IN.NET
will launch with a 42-day
Landrush & TM Claims service
starting June 18, 2013, where
customers can pre-register for
generic, premium names and brand
names can block their domain names
to prevent cybersquatting. Open
registrations on a first-come,
first-served basis will start August
1, 2013. |

In
other launch news, Michael Cyger,
who runs the popular DomainSherpa.com
video blog, is branching out with a new
information service for the search
engine optimization industry
that debuted today at SEOBlog.com
(a news aggregation service similar
to what Domaining.com
offers in the domain industry). |
Cyger
said, "The purpose of
SEOBlog.com is to aggregate the best
thought leadership from
search engine optimization
professionals. Yes, people can
create a Twitter feed of
their favorite blogs or receive
emails from them all, but getting
the best blogs in one place
is how we're adding value.
SEOBlog.com saves members time,
our most precious resource."
"All
blogs are curated, reviewed and
approved by an SEOBlog.com
editor," Cyger added. "We
also provide access to the best
blogs in a variety of ways:
*
Summary format on the website
SEOBlog.com
*
The most popular stories, as
determined by readers, emailed
daily.
*
All headlines via twitter.com/seoblog
and facebook.com/seoblogcom
With
Michael you can be sure you will
find a professional and informative
service at SEOBlog.com. |
