Tim, yes that blogged uncompleted deal prior to the 2004 hurricane Ivan mention meant something to me too. Well said analyzed again Tony, you have very good insights.

It's been said that McDonald's is so successful not because of it's burgers but because of its prime real estate locations. If Ballmer thinks everything will go through the web in 10 years, how big a leap of logic is it to think that whoever owns those prime web real estate locations will control how business and everything else will be done on the internet. It makes no sense to try to beat a Lamborghini by getting a Mustang while you already have a Buick. Buy the whole race track and it doesn't matter if the Lamborghini wins.

Common sense yet to be applied. I wonder if Frank has not sold out. His last post was rather cryptic that "everyone sells" (a), he has not posted or been to a conference recently (b), he has not been actively buying as far I as know (c). A company like Microsoft should be buying his portfolio, maybe they did. Tony is exactly right. Common sense yet to be applied. I wonder if Frank has not sold out.

Not that any MSFT person has been right about predicting the future in the last decade but that's also promising. I still scratch my head when it comes to Microsoft. They can be the world's biggest (quantity and quality) domain holder and they have yet to "get it". CNET and its portfolio for $2B, Marchex for another $1-2B, Dark Blue Sea for $100M, etc. All for under $5B total which is a fraction of what Yahoo would've cost. Redirect all those domains and build it around CNET's search.com instead of live.com. They can use that new leverage to be a gorilla in the domain parking industry and maybe even their own registrar and give godaddy a run for its money. I don't get why why they don't get it still.

It is DDB's Keith Reihart reflecting on changes in the advertising industry, IMO it will impact positively on TLD values due to supply and demand (hold them if you can) http://adage.com/brightcove/lineup.php?lineup=1579871196 Good Post: The link found on the Owen Frager blog some days back is worthy of watching for domain registrants.
