Domainers have personal lives, too… - They don’t sit behind a computer all day. (Just most of it.) I’m going to end this Friday with a post that has nothing to do with domains, except that the people it’s about are in the domain industry. First, domain attorney and domain investor Ari Goldberger is holding a Bar Mitzvah Saturday for his son Josh. In typical Goldberger style, it will be over the top. Way over the top.

In this case, Berkens registered the domain name SmoothMove.com in 2003 and has parked it since then. All of the links have been generic in nature. Then along came Traditional Medicinals Inc, an herbal medicine company that happens to have ... read more ...
