Hotel in Hollywood.
Before these trips I always gather as much reading
material as possible so I can get caught up during the
long coast-to-coast flight from our Florida base.
Just downloaded a two-part interview with Michael
and David Castello from SimplyGeo.com
that I know will be a worthwhile read. Michael and David
(who plan to be at DOMAINfest) are major proponents of
domain development and always have a lot of great tips
for people interested in building real businesses on
their domain names. The two halves of their interview
are here: Part
1 and Part
2.
There are a lot of very
sharp guys and gals operating in the geo domain space
where the Castello brothers have prospered with PalmSprings.com,
Nashville.com and several other gems. Our
upcoming February Cover Story will be about
another giant in the geo field - Dan Pulcrano -
who owns the .com domains for 20 of the 30
largest cities in America including LosAngeles.com,
SanFrancisco.com and Dallas.com to name
just a few. I just checked out LosAngeles.com
again today in preparation for my LA trip. Dan and his
team at Boulevards New Media have done a great
job with that site and I am sure you will enjoy reading
about how he built his new media empire.
Another DOMAINfest note;
the complete catalog for the two-day SnapNames Live
auction at the show Jan. 22-23 has just been
released. You can download the inventory list here. |
