A look back at the past month in domaining.
It’s Halloween, which means we’re wrapping up another month of 2008. As I prepare to take my two year old daughter trick-or-treating in her flamingo costume, here’s a look back at the top stories on Domain Name Wire this month by total page views.
1. 10 Things I’d Do if I Were a New Domainer – a list of domain lessons learned (mostly the hard way).
2. Schilling and Berryhill Win Another UDRP – legendary domain owner Frank Schilling and his attorney John Berryhill teamed up to stave off yet another unwarranted complaint under UDRP.
3. Domain Stocks Pummeled – happy, happy, joy, joy. Domain stocks have been hit hard (many of them harder than the broader market). Here’s some advice: don’t open your Q3 401(k) statement. Just toss it in the trash.
4. Does Microsoft Want to Buy Your Domain Name? – here are some tips to find out if Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) (or another big company) is trying to buy your domain name.
5. Live Current Hopes to Sell 6 Geo Domain Names for $6M-$10M – Live Current is looking to raise a little cash (see story #3) by selling 5 of its geo domain names plus its former company name, Communicate.com.
