The Lowdown



December 20, 2007 Post

Here's the The Lowdown from DNJournal.com! Updated daily to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry!

Compiled by Ron Jackson (Editor/Publisher)

 

Domisfera.com, a domain blog based in Spain, published an interesting in-depth interview with T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference co-cofounder Rick Schwartz this week. Schwartz never hesitates 

to say what is on his mind and he remains true to form in this interview while commenting on a wide range of subjects including IDNs, .tv and .mobi domains and how much longer the bull market for domains is likely to continue, just to name a few. 

On the often contentious topic of whether or not certain non .com extensions will turn out to be good investments Schwartz went to great pains to emphasize that this is something only the market can decide - not individual domain owners arguing among themselves about the merits of various extensions. In fact, Schwartz made the point three times during the interview. In one of those passages he said "Time will tell and the market will decide. Not you, not me, not some .tv promoter."

(Editor's note: you can safely substitute any other non .com extension for .tv here - that extension was just one of several Schwartz referred to in repeatedly making his point throughout the article). "The market decides and that is what so few really understand. It is about READING the market. Anticipating the market. Understanding the market. Not trying to FORCE the market. Things happen when they are ready to happen. Not before, not after. When the MARKET is ready," Schwartz said.
