ICANNWiki – Great resource for the domainer community
Wednesday, April 26th, 2006
ICANNWiki has the latest info about the domain industry with a particular focus on key players.
I caught up with Ray King, former CEO of SnapNames, last week at Domain Roundtable. I first met Ray at a search engine optimization conference in New York a little over a year ago. Ray is working on a new venture called AboutUs. While he gets AboutUs off the ground he has co-created ICANNWiki, a wiki specific to the domain name industry.
Ray doesn’t make half-baked efforts, and his selfless contribution to the domain community shows in ICANNWiki. A wiki is a collaborative environment edited by a community. ICANNWiki is, naturally, specific to the domain world. It covers the people, companies, and groups that make the domain industry click.
Ray is putting a lot of effort into the wiki. At Domain Roundtable he had a system set up for people to easily enter themselves into the wiki. A camera attached to a computer snapped a picture of each domainer to add to their profile. These pictures were then sent to an artist in California who created a caricature for each profile. You can see mine here. (Hey, caricatures aren’t meant to be flattering!).
If you’re active in the domain community or just starting to get your hands dirty, visit ICANNWiki to “meet” the people, companies, and groups you’re working with.
