Chris Hartnett hitching a ride in Dubai |
who serves on Reinvent's
Board of Directors, just returned from Dubai this week.
Dr. Hartnett dropped me a note about the trip,
saying "Yes, this is how we are dealing with the
recession. Time for innovation as they say at
Harvard Business School (Editor's
Note: the two good doctors earned diplomas
from the HBS Advanced
Management Program in October). This we feel
will be the best time for Domainers and for anyone
serious, to make real money if you Zig when everyone
else is Zagging."
Chris added, "There is
always opportunity and Reinvent has “opportunity from the
|
|
ashes” in its basic corporate DNA. Kevin started his
domain business and Reinvent during the DOT COM Bust
of 2001 when he developed a program to buy up top
premium domains on the drop faster than the average drop
catchers."

"Yes
PPC revenues are down but this doesn’t spell the
end of the world for domain name owners.
Actually, the
Middle East
has vast untapped potential when it comes
to the internet. The Ruler of Dubai, Sheik
Mohammad is probably one of the biggest
thinkers I have ever seen.
Dubai
is really a very wonderful place with exploding
growth and unlimited potential for the domain
world. We stayed in a place right next to “Internet
City" and “Media
City.” The future is very bright and Prime Domain
Name Real Estate is ready to take off. We
can’t wait to get back there!," Dr.
Hartnett declared. |
