The Lowdown



June 18, 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)

 

New domain auction site Bido.com is set to open the bidding on its first auction this afternoon (Wed. June 18) at 1pm U.S. Eastern time. The first domain going under the hammer will be 

DiscountImages.com. In Bido's unique format, just one domain will be auctioned each day and bidding always starts at $1 with no reserve. Another interesting twist is a section with comments from experienced domainers about the name currently up for bid. Most of the speculation we saw before the Bido launch was that only positive comments 

would be allowed about the names being sold, but both positive and negative assessments of the debut domain, DiscountImages.com have been posted on the site, so it looks like Bido plans to let the chips fall where they may. 

While Bido is gearing up for their maiden voyage, Sedo's GreatDomains.com is set to open their latest monthly premium domain auction tomorrow (June 19) at 2pm Eastern time. The roster for this week-long event includes Brochures.com, Pasta.com and Eco.org among others.

The first DomainerMeeting conference also opens tomorrow in Paris, France. I had planned to go but had to reverse course because my wife will be undergoing knee surgery today in Tampa. It's a fairly simple procedure (repair some torn cartilage) but she will be on crutches for a few

weeks so I need to be here to help her get around. With a little luck she will be ready to go for next month's GeoDomain Expo in Chicago (which we previewed in our latest newsletter). 

Eric Rice, who was the subject of our February 2007 Cover Story, has come up with an interesting new concept at DNCartoons.com. As its name implies the site will feature cartoons about the domain business, but Rice's new venture will also have a blog and newsletter that Rice said will offer high quality domains for sale at reasonable prices. The former BulkRegister.com General Manager (prior to the registrar's sale to Enom) is an experienced domain broker with a solid record of success so his newsletter should be well worth signing up for.
