I'll
be on the road today,
making
my way back home to Florida after stops in New
Orleans for the Domainer Mardi Gras
conference and central Ohio for a family event.
It is currently 15 degrees outside, so I can't wait to
get back to the Sunshine State where it is supposed to
be 78 tomorrow. I normally put together our weekly
domain sales report on Tuesdays for
publication the following morning, but since I will be
offline all day today, we will push the report back a
day. It should be up by noon Thursday. News
of a major domain industry acquisition may be released
while I am traveling today. At last week's Domainer
Mardi Gras conference in New Orleans one of
the best known companies in our space let reporters know
that they expected to announce the purchase of another
domain company either today or Wednesday morning. This
will be the second major acquisition of the New Year,
following IAC's acquisition of Sendori. More
consolidation in this industry is expected as 2009
continues to unfold. If the latest deal is announced
while I am traveling, I will post my thoughts on it when
I am back online in Florida Wednesday. In the meantime,
the news headline site at Domaining.com
is a good place to check periodically through the day
for links to sites that will be releasing
the news when it comes.
