Here's the The Lowdown from DN Journal,
updated daily
to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry. 

The Lowdown is compiled by DN Journal Editor & Publisher Ron Jackson.

Video Interview With the Owner of the World's Greatest 2-Letter .Com Collection - CentralNic's Robert Pooke

Wouldn't it be great to own a meaningful 2-letter .com domain like US.com, UK.com, EU.com or LA.com? Or perhaps an NO.com, DE.com, CN.com or SA.com. Well, as it happens one guy, Robert Pooke,  owns all of those domains and many more (including AR.com, BR.com, RU.com and SE.com to name a few more). Pooke has used his domains as the foundation for CentralNic, a registry services provider that sells sub-domains of those geographically relevant 2-letter gems.

When I was in Los Angeles for the 2010 DOMAINfest Global conference in January, Joe Alagna, CentralNic's General Manager of North American Markets, set up an interview with Robert for me. Joe, who has been bitten by the web video bug, videotaped the interview and recently sent me a copy of his recording. I'm making it the first video ever posted on DN Journal because the story of how Robert Pooke acquired all of those great domains and how he decided on his current business model for them is one that few people have heard before. I hope you find it as interesting as I did in doing it.

 

After talking to Robert I also had Joe Alagna, who is a very well known figure in the industry, sit down in front of the camera for an interview that goes into more detail about CentralNic's platform and services. I'll have that video for you in my next Lowdown post.
