I know this post is going to seem out of the blue considering I haven’t posted since Christmas, (thank you DomainGang.com for pointing that out), but that’s ok. I absolutely had to show some support for my friend Mike Law over at NameTalent.com. Mike recently announced that he would be hosting a new “never before done” domain conference that is to be held February 26th in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Skiing and hanging with other domainers? Sounds like a perfect weekend retreat to me!
I first heard about his idea to have the Rocky Mountain Domain Conference while we were aboard DNCruise back in October. I immediately told him to go for it. If you remember, he won a free room and conference pass during one of the contests I held. Mike made some great connections while networking and has been diligently planning since.
The fantastic lineup already includes Morgan Linton, Bill Muskin, Rick Waters, Sharon Hayes, Braden Pollock, Abdu Tarabichi, Adam Torkildson, trademark attorney Mimi Rupp and many others.
The conference sessions begin February 26th followed up with a day of skiing on February 27th. To see the full agenda and more information visit RMDC.co. If you want to attend then hurry because the conference is limited to 50 guests. Oh and did I mention it is ONLY $45.88 which includes the single day conference pass, lunch and a ticket to the evening cocktail party. It’s sure to be a great networking event!
Unfortunately I will not be able to attend because of an already scheduled sci-fi/comic event the same weekend
Join Stu Maloff, Mike Ward and myself tomorrow night at 7pm est for a South Florida Domainer meetup located in Lighthouse Point, Florida. Come casual, no structured networking or speaking for this one. Just relax, enjoy the pizza and hang out fellow domainers.
Our sponsor for the evening is Moniker/Snapnames which will be providing pizza and soda for everyone.
To RSVP, get the address and see who else is coming click here. Please RSVP so we order enough food for all.
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE pizza and hanging out with my like-minded friends so this will be fun. See you tomorrow night!
About two hours ago I received a Like request to join a Bido.com Facebook fan page.
So what does this mean? It means that Bido is back!
I have personally confirmed with an unnamed source that Bido will be coming back soon. In fact, another domainer on Facebook has already pointed out that a new domain is pending votes.
Questions left unanswered…
Did Bido sell and if so for how much and who is the new owner?
When will Bido relaunch?
I have an email out to the previous owner to get to the bottom of this.
Update – I have confirmed with the previous owner that Bido.com was sold. The sale amount and new owner’s information is private. My unnamed source will not share with me the new launch date or owner. So for now that will have to be a mystery.
I leave you with a picture of me and the Bido girls while at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. earlier this year in Las Vegas.
I’m famous, I made it on CNN Money. Ok, so it was just for a split second, lol. Watch the video, you will see myself sitting next to client Kevin Wood whom purchased Companion.com $45,000 and Hoarders.com $1,500 during DOMAINfest’s live auction held in New York on August 18th. In total the auction sold $1,801,900 worth of domain names with the top sale being T-Shirts.com for $1,265,000.
I was reading TMZ.com, which I do daily. Yes I like celebrity gossip, lol. During my daily read of celebrity news I found an article which included GoDaddy.
It appears that Michael Jackson’s estate is suing the owner of MichaelJacksonCasino.com and has included GoDaddy in that lawsuit. Why is GoDaddy involved, because they allowed the registrant to purchase the name using their service.
A rep for Go Daddy told TMZ, “While we have not seen the lawsuit, if we are named, Go Daddy plans to vigorously defend itself.” The rep adds, “When customers are involved in a legal dispute, Go Daddy complies with court orders.”
