Friday Notes and Thoughts

* I was finally able to tune into the only live domaining TV show online at MorganLinton.tv last night.  I quickly signed up for a ustream.tv account so that I could participate.  The Lightning Round and Spotlight Your Site segments of the show are fun, informative and interactive.  During the lightning round Morgan evaluates the potential of domain names from a development standpoint.  I participated in the Spotlight Your Site segment and submitted a couple of my minisites for Morgan to tear to shreds. 😉 Just kidding, he gave really good tips and I have already implemented a few of his suggestions and look forward to looking into other options he suggested for my sites.  Overall, it was a very informative show, well worth tuning in for.  I hope it stays on Thursdays.. turns out that time works great for me!

* Another domain industry mobile app was released this week!  I’ve been calling for more apps in our industry in a couple of my recent blog posts.  DomainTools.com released an app, but there’s no Android version yet.  Hope it’s coming soon!

* Congrats to Aron Meystedt for his recent sale of SZ.com for $125,000 as reported on DNJournal.  Looks like end user Shenzen Online purchased the name.

* Finally, here are my thoughts on the .CO landrush we are about to witness.  To me it looks like another money grab, I wouldn’t waste my time backordering names at this point if you haven’t already.  For $275 a whack, just doesn’t seem worth it, only HUGE typos will return your $275 thru ppc in a years time.  I’m pretty sure I won’t be investing in .co domain names and I wouldn’t advise any new domainers to run towards this extension just because it’s so similar to the .com.  Colombia must have a pretty good deal with the registries, I didn’t think they sold anything cheap. 🙂
