Several
things
to share with you today. For
starters, veteran domain industry
attorney and executive Jonathan
Tenenbaum has joined domain
brokerage firm MediaOptions
as Chief Operating Officer.
Jonathan moves over from Web.com
where he has most recently been
serving as Title Associate General Counsel & Chief Privacy
Officer. Prior to that he was the
company's VP, Aftermarket Strategy
& Revenue, a post Tenenbaum
assumed after spending over six
years as the General Manager at NameJet.
MediaOptions
Founder & CEO Andrew
Rosener said he wanted
Tenenbaum on his team to, "more
aggressively grow our business with the best people in the right positions to serve our growing client base and the evolving landscape of digital assets. Jonathan understands domain names and the domain aftermarket in a way that few can hope to, and he has a proven track record of maximizing the potential of businesses in this
space. He’s joining an already successful team at the perfect time to spearhead our planned expansion.”
Tenenbaum
said, "What I find most
compelling about MediaOptions is
its undisputed excellence in the
domain space, and Andrew Rosener
is a visionary in an
industry that is ripe for
innovation. With several new and
exciting partnerships on the
horizon and the most
successful brokerage team in the
industry already in place,

While
MediaOptions was bringing one of the industry's top attorneys on
board, the Internet
Commerce Association (ICA) was rolling out a new
benefit for members - a 15% discount on legal
services, pus as an additional $200 credit towards
$1,000 in services (the benefit is available for all legal
services, not just domain name related legal matters). |

Speaking of industry veterans -
pioneering domain investor Mike Mann, the Founder of DomainMarket.com
(and before that, BuyDomains.com), has been sharing his
expertise and conducting wide-ranging interviews with a variety of
interesting guests on a new
YouTube channel he started a few months ago. Mike
initially does his shows as a livestream, then adds them to
his YouTube channel where, as of this writing, there are already
over a dozen episodes you can view.
The format usually has Mike chatting
one at a time, with a couple of guests in a very relaxed, informal
atmosphere. Then there is bonus time where he covers areas of
special interest to domain investors, like domain valuation and
appraisals. One thing I like about the series is Mike mixes
it up - it's not all about domains, so you never know
exactly where the conversations are going to go. That keeps
things interesting, especially since Mike is not shy about speaking
his mind on any subject.
As it
happens, I will be Mike's first guest on his next livestream Wednesday
morning |
A
blast from the past. Mike Mann
stirring things up at the 2011 T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Conference in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. |

(November
17) at 11am U.S. Eastern Time. (Update):
The Wednesday livestream went well and I enjoyed catching up with
Mike again. The replay is now available on Mike's YouTube channel at
this
link. |
