Too bad it took an impending recession to do it, but domain names are finally getting their turn in the spotlight in mainstream business news. This is largely because the boom in this  

business stands out more than ever when compared to the drop off in so many other parts of the economy. That is a story angle reporters can't resist. I've seen more unbiased stories about this industry in major mainstream newspapers and magazines just since New Year's Day than I have seen in any full year since I entered the business. 

The latest, published just last night (Feb. 8), is one of the best yet. It comes from Investor's Business Daily, one of the true icons in the business media world. The article, titled Domain Name Game Still Going Strong; Tad Less Secretive, was written by Brian Deagon with 

whom I spoke at length prior to publication of the piece. In speaking with him I could tell that Deagon was a very meticulous reporter who would deliver a comprehensive, fair and accurate article and that is exactly what he did. This kind of reporting is what has made IBD the respected and influential publication that it is - and talk about a corporation that gets it - how about their killer generic domain name - Investors.com!
