Afternic is getting ready to launch its redesigned site.
When I sat down with Roger Collins of Afternic at Domain Roundtable in April, he told me Afternic was undergoing a complete redesign. Afternic has released a preview of the new design here.
It looks like a winner to me. (My #1 concern with Afternic has been loading speed, and this appears to be getting better. Afternic just released a major database upgrade.) The new GUI will be a welcome change as well. One new feature I like is the RSS feeds for domain listings. Afternic will offer RSS feeds for Featured, Closing Soon, Showcase, New Listings, and Recent Sales domains. This will be extremely valuable, especially the “Closing Soon” feed. The Closing Soon section of Afternic features all domains that have met their reserve. It’s a great way to find good domains that have caught the interest of other domainers. By syndicating these listings with RSS, Afternic will allow you review these domains in Google Desktop, MyYahoo, and other RSS readers.
It’s nice to see that Afternic is continuously innovating.
