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

Another one bites the dust. The Chicago Sun-Times has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, just a few months after Chicago's other major daily newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, did the same. The Sun Times plans to keep publishing under bankruptcy protection but it looks like their

shareholders will be wiped out and more job cuts and enforced furloughs are expected. 

Just this morning our local paper, The Tampa Tribune, announced they were cutting 65 more jobs. This continuing devastation in traditional media (and how city .com website operators can benefit from the historic shift of media to the Internet) will be the theme of next month's GeoDomain Expo in San Diego (April 23-35 at the Catamaran Resort). We will be publishing a preview of that conference later this week.

Meanwhile, our preview of next month's T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Silicon Valley conference, featuring a wide ranging interview with show co-founder Rick Schwartz, went out to subscribers of our monthly newsletter last night. You can also read it online here. The show will be held at the Santa Clara Marriott April 27-30. Incidentally, the perfect domain name for that location, SantaClara.com, is to be auctioned off at the show by Moniker.com.

If you missed the DOMAINfest Global conference in Hollywood, California in January (or were there and would just like to re-live it), you can now view full-length videos of the seminars on the show's website. The video of the keynote fireside chat with Apple Computer Co-Founder Steve Wozniak is also on the site. As many of you know, Wozniak is currently competing on ABC-TV's Dancing With the 

Stars. A photo collage has also been added along with both video and written testimonials from those who were there. Below are direct links to all of the new content added at Domainfest.com:

Some other notes to pass along to you today. The Domain Madness live auction being staged by DomainConsultant.com and Aftermarket.com gets underway today at 3:15pm U.S. Eastern Time (2:15 Central) at The Palms in Las Vegas. You can check out the auction catalog here. There will be a live video feed of the auction that you can access from this page (the video feed link is at the top of the right column).

Domain Madness will also be giving away a $1,000 prize to a contest entrant who picked the names that end up selling  (the contest is no longer open for entries).

Also don't forget that the Bido.com charity auction to benefit the Hacienda de los Milagros (House of Miracles) animal sanctuary will be held at 1pm U.S. Eastern time tomorrow. A portolio featuring dozens of donated animal related domain names will be auctioned off to help the Arizona sanctuary keep its doors open.
