The Lowdown



June 2, 2008 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)

 

This was an interesting weekend - a nice mix of work and recreation for a change (usually it is only work). After getting our preview of the upcoming Domainer Meeting conference in Paris 

(June 19-20) posted Friday night I was able to put the finishing touches on our comprehensive review of the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East conference in Orlando and get it published Saturday night (though the article is done we are going to add a Photo Gallery to the piece tomorrow as we have dozens of great additional shots from the show that are too good to leave sight unseen). While you are waiting for our Photo Gallery check out the cool new T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Speakers Wall on the conference's web site that has pictures of virtually every person who has ever spoken at a T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference!

On Sunday, Parked.com's Monte White took my wife, daughter and I to the Tampa Bay Rays - Chicago White Sox game at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg (Parked.com has a block of four Rays season tickets). We had a great time, especially since the Rays won in dramatic fashion with a home run in the bottom of the 10th from the last man in the batting order - Gabe Gross. Before he hit it out, Monte, who was once a radio play-by-play man, told me that despite being at the bottom of the line-up, Gross had a lot of "pop" in his bat and he proved to be right when Gross delivered that round tripper (the former Auburn quarterback also had a two-run triple earlier in the game). Staffers at Parked.com and DN Journal have a lot of the same favorite local pastimes as we are both based in the Tampa Bay area. 

The work week got off to a weird start with reports in several publications this morning saying that Israel.com had been sold over the weekend for over $5 million. Those reports turned out to be false but even now some sites are still perpetuating the erroneous "sale" news by quoting the original site, Haaretz.com, that originated the bogus story. 

Domain sales (this time real ones) were also the
