ongoing expansion of the
Internet that is hard for an old media junky like me to
imagine - but if Ballmer is right, or even close to
being right, the future of domain names as media
properties truly is boundless.
In a meeting with Washington
Post editors Ballmer said "In the
next 10 years, the whole world of media, communications
and advertising are going to be turned upside down
- my opinion. Here are the premises I have. Number one,
there will be no media consumption left in 10 years that
is not delivered over an IP network. There will be no
newspapers, no magazines that are delivered in paper
form. Everything gets delivered in an electronic
form." That is one big WOW! there. Right or
wrong it certainly sets your mental wheels
turning.

domains into media outlets
(or own quality domains that would make good media
outlets for buyers), click the link to the Washington
Post above and see what Ballmer has to say about
your future. As I have said many times before, we
are all incredibly fortunate to be in the business we
are in and positioned in the way that we are positioned
today.
