Wednesday Night Domain News Bytes

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

All the domain name news that’s fit to print.

Here are few domain name stories and tidbits for your Wednesday evening.

…Don’t look now, but Live Current Media’s stock price has broken the dime. On the downside. Shares closed today at $.0915. Ouch.

…an oldie-but-goodie from The Onion about .xxx not being approved (in 2006).

…VeriSign reported earnings after the bell. It added a record 8.1 million domain names in the first quarter — a record. That’s good news for domainers.

…DNN has the tally from today’s auction at TRAFFIC in Milan. The site calculates just over 400,000 EUR in sales. Latona better collect those Euros quickly and convert them to dollars before the exchange rate continues to slip :)

…Latonas.com is hosting a .tv auction where every domain starts at $49. Some good keyword domains to be had, including Coeds.tv, Skateboarders.tv, and Kate.tv.

…Epik is buying product domains thanks to the success of its product portals. Details here.

…As TRAFFIC Milan winds down, GeoDomain Expo is kicking off in New Orleans. I’m not there, but look for daily updates here.

    Regarding the Latona/TRAFFIC auction, looks like a majority of the .US domain names sold. There were some good keywords there.

    @ M. Menius – that’s ironic…go to Europe to sell the .us domains :)
