3 reasons TRAFFIC Vegas matters - The domain investor community is in Las Vegas right now. Here’s why this TRAFFIC conference matters. I’m writing this post from the Bellagio in Las Vegas, where the latest TRAFFIC conference is taking place. I think this conference “matters” for three key reasons. 1. Without this event, it would be a long time between seeing the domain community. Webfest was in early February.

Suddenly, Content Takes Center Stage during Domain Conferences - Good content sessions planned for January domain conferences. I rarely go to sessions and panels at trade shows. I prefer to spend my time networking. That’s especially true at domain name shows, because I usually find the programming banal. But that may change this month. The agendas for both T.R.A.F.F.I.C. and DOMAINfest have some interesting — if not exciting — sessions. TRAFFICFriday, January 22nd 1:45-3:00 – WIPO Reviews.

Bido: FixedLoans.com Auction and New Chat Feature - Domain sold at previous TRAFFIC auction on the block at Bido, Bido Chat in the works. Bido’s auction on Wednesday will be for FixedLoans.com.

Some may view this auction as a test of Bido’s clout in the domain auction business, but it could really go either way. If it sells for more than $10,000 it could be because fixed loans are getting a ... read more ...
