Here's the The Lowdown from DN Journal,
updated daily
to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry. 

The Lowdown is compiled by DN Journal Editor & Publisher Ron Jackson.

Companies in the News: Sedo.com, DomainConsultant.com, SocialDomainers.com and Domainbie.com

Sedo's parent company, Adlink Group has changed its name and will now be officially known as Sedo Holding. The company's two big brands, Sedo and Affilinet will continue to function independently under Sedo Holding. The move away from they Adlink name comes in the wake of the company selling its AdlinkMedia display ad business to Hi Media

Sedo Holding will also trade under the new stock symbol SEDO on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange starting in late May after a former stockholders meeting scheduled for May 19. Sedo officials believe this exposure on the stock exchange will give both Sedo and the entire domain industry much greater awareness among both the general public and potential investors. 

Elsewhere, the second annual Domain Madness auction ended with a live webcast from The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas Tuesday. The event organized by DomainConsultant.com generated over $209,000 in sales with the blockbuster $151,000 sale of CamRoulette.com accounting for the lion's share of that total. 

Two others hit the five-figure mark; SecurityGuards.com at $20,000 and PalmSpringsHomes.com at $14,000. A total of 21 domains were sold during the event with an average sales price of over $9,900.

Apple Computer will make their latest product, the Ipad tablet computer, available next month. If you would like a chance to win a free one, SocialDomainers.com is inviting you to sign up for a drawing that will be 

shown on the weekly video podcast at ChefPatrick.com on Friday, April 2nd. You have to sign up by April 1 to be eligible. SocialDomainers.com is a Facebook-style network geared towards the domaining community. Founder Tony Kanakaris said, "Members can create groups, events, etc. to help them network with local domainers."

A new ebook available from Domainbie.com is another resource that beginning domainers might like to check out. The author of this A to Z beginners guide, Neaz Mh, is so confident that you will like the book he has taken a unique marketing approach. You can download the entire book and read before you decide whether or not it is worth the $29.95 Mh is asking for it. If you find the information valuable, only then do you send him the money for it.   

I read the book myself and it is obvious that Neaz put a lot of work into the project. If you are just starting out I think a lot of the information in this book will help you get a better grasp on how the domain business works.
