How Michael Blend finally struck gold with domain names.
The domain name opportunity was staring Michael Blend in the face on two occasions, but he missed it. The third time around he finally pounced on the opportunity…and it paid off. Blend developed the domain parking service HotKeys and acquired some of the world’s best domain names, then sold the business to Demand Media. Hear his story, what he sees for the future of domain names, and learn about TopCoin, the “frequent flyer program” for domain names.
Also: Berkens is a sellout, CentralNic goes long, Verisign and XYZ still fighting and a horrible UDRP decision.
