Domain Conferences: Do we need more or less?
Many domain investors are eager to participate in domain conferences, such as TRAFFIC and DomainFest Global (now dormant, after renamed to Webfest global). The opportunities that arise from such meetings of domainer professionals are numerous and self-explanatory: you get to meet those that otherwise remain hidden in the realm of uber-fame, or are physically remote […]

Elliot Silver’s quick poll about the new name of the Domainfest conference, now called WebFest Global, shows that almost half of the voters don’t like the new name. That means, the other half either like it or are indifferent. Meanwhile, Newsweek magazine is ending its printed publication, after nearly 80 years of weekly issues. While […]

The two letter dot com domain QR.com was initially listed as sold at Domainfest in Santa Monica; the shock came a little later, as it was revealed that the highest bidder thought he was bidding on the next lot, for 12.com Embarrassing as it may seem, these things do happen and there are provisions in […]

Among the domains announced to have sold at Domainfest was QR.com – a two letter dot com of extreme appeal to the industry of QR codes that has infiltrated our lives, all while bar codes are dying a fast technological death.

Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Domainfest lawsuit – Who’s tempting fate?
This is rather corny but the timing is very relevant. Whoever registered the domain name DomainfestLawsuit.com is clearly asking for trouble. Two reasons: the domain is parked and “domainfest” is a registered trademark. Judging by the registration date via DomainTools – February 12, 2011 – we’d assume the speculator is attempting to predict a situation […]
Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Bring your Mother to the ‘Fest’ – damage control campaign!
There’s been too much negative publicity about the outcome of the Domainfest gathering at the Playboy Mansion. The focus suddenly changed from the $500,000 in total sales to the type of disease delivered to more than 100 domainers that ogled the silicone miracles at the Playboy Mansion.

Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Daryl says: Domainfest flu? Whatever – time to man up!
Hey there domainers! I’ll get straight to the point, and I don’t mean beer but the subject of flu. A lot of those who got that nasty bug at Domainfest were at the Playboy Mansion. Guess what happened there? Some fog machine got out of control, apparently spreading germs all over the place. Some said […]

Hey domainers, what’s going on? Missed me? I sure did not. Had lots of things to work on these days, buying domains, selling them and then b*tching about getting those lowball offers. Whatever. Didn’t tell you, but I was at Domainfest. I had a great time, lots of beer, lots of domaining, lots of beer. […]

Let’s start off by stating that Ron Jackson, editor and man-in-chief of DNJournal is #1 on the list of domainer popularity, often ahead of Rick Schwartz. While we love Ron – in a manly sort of way – the experienced journalist just made a huge editorial gaffe, by using a photoshopped photo in his recap […]

Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.The Frank Schilling – Chef Patrick connection
The domain industry is so small still, that a game of “Six degrees of Frank Schilling” would be pointless: everyone is usually no more one or two hops away from Frankie. Several domainers that have met Frank Schilling are thus one degree of “separation” away, regardless of a business relationship to this uber-domainer. Sometimes, however, […]
