For GeoDomain Expo, The Sponsors Tell a Story - GeoDomain Expo attracts a different type of crowd. For the past few years I’ve enjoyed my trip to GeoDomain Expo, an annual gathering of owners of city.com and similar geographic domain names.

YouTube Goes Geo - YouTube adds local search functions. Video site YouTube is releasing a new feature to let people find videos tagged with a particular geographic location. Why is this relevant to domainers? Well, I’m sitting here in the Admirals Club in Austin getting ready to board my flight to the Associated Cities GeoDomain Expo in Chicago. At the conference I’ll see a hundred people who are big believers in “local search” and are betting big on the future of local search. Local ... read more ...

And that will be on display at this year’s GeoDomain Expo in Chicago July 11-12 at W Chicago – City Center. (There is a cocktail party the evening of July 10.) I’ve decided ... read more ...
