A look back at September in the domain name industry.
I had a dream last night. I was sitting on a bench in the city and a couple trucks rolled by. Both of them had web addresses on them, and both ended in new top level domain names.
Alas, it was just a dream.
New top level domain names are getting more exposure, however. Check out the #2 and #3 stories on Domain Name Wire last month below.
On the podcast front, I published DNW Podcast #100 last month. What better way to mark the occasion than by interviewing Paul Mockapetris, the inventor of the Domain Name System.
Here are the five most recent podcasts. You can listen to them at the links or subscribe on iTunes and the Google Play Store.
