The Lowdown



Feb. 21, 2008 Post

Here's the The Lowdown from DNJournal.com! Updated daily to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry!

Compiled by Ron Jackson (Editor/Publisher)

 

The 2008 T.R.A.F.F.I.C. West conference concluded this morning in Las Vegas with a farewell breakfast and a meeting of the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Advisory Board, a panel elected by T.R.A.F.F.I.C. attendees each year to provide suggestions for future conference themes, programs and locations. The next T.R.A.F.F.I.C. event will be in Orlando, Florida May 20-24 at Walt Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort. It is being billed as the first family-oriented T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference with registrants encouraged to bring their spouses and children for the event. Our last post was written last night while Moniker's SnapNames Live Domain Auction was underway. That event ended with $4.3 million in sales, led by SkiResorts.com ($850,000), Meds.com ($460,000), DVDs.com ($300,000) and CPC.com ($200,000).

Veteran domain investor Michael Berkens has the full list of auction results on his blog here. On another page, Berkens also posted commentary that we think accurately sums up the overall results from this auction as they relate to the current state of he overall domain market.

We will be heading back to our home base in Florida tomorrow to begin work on our comprehensive conference wrap-up article that will appear on our home page by the end of next week. We have more than 1,200 photos and piles of notes to sort through in the meantime so  that we can produce the definitive event chronicle you have come to expect from us.
