The Next BIG Thing Is 3D: Who Owns Best Domains? (Hint: Its not Me, Frank, Kevin Or Even Rick )
I sure blew this one.
But at least I’m not alone.
The next big thing is going to be 3D.
3D was the talk of the Consumers Electronic Show in Vegas in January.
3d Tv’s are already on sale and the World Cup was broadcast by Directv in 3D.
ESPN is launching its own 3D channel any day now on Directv.
Yup its going to be huge and I missed to boat completely.
However it doesn’t look like I’m alone.
Looking through the best 3D domains I could think of it doesn’t look like Frank, Kevin or even Rick locked up any of the best 3D domains or at least what I consider to be the best of the best.
I thought it would be interesting to take a look to see who owns the best of the 3D domains.
Lets start with the 5 star domain for the topic, 3D.com.
Its owned under privacy at Network Solutions.
The domain name was created all the way back in 1994.
The domain goes to a Net Sol, parked page so whoever owns it, isn’t making any money off of it, and it does get thousands of visitors a month according to Compete and Alexa.
A Waste.
3DTV.COM Is owned by an end user, Brad Beckerman of Beverly Hills, California
Its actually a pretty cool flash site you should check it out.
3DTELEVISION.COM and 3DGlasses.com are owned by an end user, Deep Vision 3D, of Hollywood, CA, although the 3dtelevision.com domain is not resolving properly for me the company sells 3DGlasses on the 2nd domain.
The domain, 3-DGLASSES.COM is owned by an end user, Theatric Support of Studio City, California
3DTVS.COM is registered to Jon Schultz of Blue String Ventures, Inc.
The domain, 3-dtv.com goes to a parked page and is under privacy.
Ted Amaradidis of Delray Beach Florida, owns 3-DMOVIES.COM and 3Dmovies.com and 3Dmovies.tv
3DTELEVISIONS.COM is owned by domainer, Gregg Ostrick of GNO, Inc.
3DSPORTS.COM is owned by our good friend Chad Folkening of Ecorp.
3DMOVIETHEATERS.COM is owned by Ralf Schumacher, who is another fellow I know pretty well.
3DTHEATERS.COM is owned by a Daniel Symmes of Woodland Hills, CA and is another domain not resolving properly.
The domain name, 3DADVERTISING.COM is owned by our good friend Stephen Douglas of Success Click.
The domain 3dprojectors.com is owned by Scott Bennett of Glasgow who is using it for a blog.
3DGAMES.COM is owned by another good friend and ICANN’s worst nightmare, George Kirikos.
3D.TV and 3-D.Tv are both owned by a Guy named Ben Geren.
(If you are not familiar with Mr. Geren He also owns some of the best possible .FM domains, including Rock.FM, HipHop.FM, Classical.FM, and Country.FM, ClassicRock.FM, and Oldies.FM just to name a few as well as some pretty good .TV Domains including, wireless.tv, channels.tv. concerts.tv and cinema.tv)
Congrats boys, you own part of the future and you all kicked my ass.

I see Microsoft missed SurfaceTablet.com and SurfaceTablets.com which registered in teh last 2 days, but they did get the .net and org and yesterday Microsoft did grab SurfaceTablet.net and TabletSurface com
You would have thought they would register the best names before anything was released to the public??
I have 3 related names I registered 2 years ago and I have had 2 offers on each today lol….mainly low-ball so they are probably domainers
@Giles,
Microsoft has Surface.com – why would they want surfacetablet(s).com?
@Beach
I guess the same reason regged all the .net and .org names and the other names related to this product.
I mean if they were going to register something, surely they should have got the exact product name in the .COM…instead they they settle for the .NET (SurfaceTablet.net) and the .COM with the keywords the wrong way around? (TabletSurface.com)
I know they will use Surface.com and/or Microsoft.com/Surface as their main site, but then why reg all these names in lesser extensions the day after you announce it??
They should have rather just emailed the guy with the .COM and bought it off him if they really wanted another domain and left the others alone
I mean they can certainly afford to buy the names they want? Strange if you ask me…
Surfacetablet.com the owner shouldn’t park as its gonna soon have there products ads
Thus allowing Microsoft to wipo them
There probably going to go that route anyway
3DSurfaceTablet.com grabbed just in case
Any tablet or phone domain with, Surface, in it, I’d toss right back out there – it’s trademark!
@dmpartners, cool video!
@ Giles, it shows the poor quality protection MarkMonitor delivers. Sorry, but Mark Monitor is not proactive protecting its clients . . . Many times it registers terrible domains in advance of a product launch of one of its clients, but leaves out the important domains.
Only two domains in my portfolio I had 2nd thoughts they are trademark, so I allowed them to drop.
Tapsurfacetablet.com and NFCsurfacetablet.com
Got those now be a millionaire with these
Cheers
@Louise
I have checked and there isn’t a surface trademark for tablets in particular, lots of other “Surface” product trademarks
Thats why the generic names like I have are fine, they can be used in a variety of industries and don’t imply anything about tablets…computers etc
Surface is a very generic work and very difficult to TM
I have these names
SurfaceForum.com
SurfaceForums.com
SurfaceHarware.com
Just had another offer on each this morning ($200)
It appears trademark to me . . . It was in use by Samsung & Microsoft with regard to its touch screen tables . . . I wouldn’t want anything to do with it. Who are you going to sell it to: LG? Apple? But I see your point.
I wonder if it’s part of the big betrayel that Steve Jobs complained of, before his passing . . . Samsung used, Surface and manufactured the touch screen tables, before Microsoft took it over. Maybe Apple wanted the brand and the tech . . .
Louise, I have checked already and its fine
But the point is, stay away from a surface tablet name, that is showing exactly what you want it for, a name like surfaceforum can be used for any surface product,
Lol, no it won’t be sold to a big company like Samsung, someone will want it for a forum site though
I’ve also had the names before any TM was in place
Hello,

Samsung is spending 55 million to roll out the Bendy
It’s LG – not Samsung – who received $55 million government grant. Samsung is working on flexible displays on its own. The new Galaxy Note II due in four months, will have an “unbreakable” screen which is bendy:

“bendy” isn’t even a word – and nobody…I’m saying NOBODY will spend advertising dollars on “bendy” anything.
you folks have wasted your money on nothing.
“bendy” isn’t even a word – and nobody…I’m saying NOBODY will spend advertising dollars on “bendy” anything.
Bendy is an awesome Word . Very brandable. Thats what this game is about Elliot beating them to the punch.
Amoled is not a word either and they use it.
Goggle was not a word either.
I think you get it now
3dBendytabs coming soon
Actually it is a word
bendy
adj bendier, bendiest
1. flexible or pliable
2. having many bends a bendy road
http://venturebeat.com/2012/03/29/lg-bendable-ereader-display/
@ Elliot, you’re entitled to your opinion!!! Bendy is my and Gazzip’s niche, who has BendyPhone. Someone else has, BendyPhones. Someone had BendyTV dot com, before I got it, so, you’re not saying, just I’m wrong, but all of the above . . . What do you think of DualScreenApps dot com?

Cut up the credit cards, have people not heard yet? 3d has flopped & even for the most obvious use, 3d tv the growth is on the wane (think millions of 3d glasses in the bottom of cupboard drawers – thats where mine are, used once). Even still those would have to be the worst 3d domains I have seen yet.
move on

3d.com, 3dprinting.com sold for good prices
So what?
Someone else won the big prize in the lottery
All your numbers were out by 1
You were close
You won jack shit
ps Same retards as penny stock traders
All they can do is show lots of reports, videos, etc…confirming their bias
Demand for Bendyphones as a name will have as much demand as cameraphones.com ie jack shit when the feature is commonplace
Calm down folks…revert your anger into good karma energy.
Remember ,domaining is just a BS word game.
have fun and read “BullS” everyday and make it your homepage.
@ Aggo

Flexible display phones made from graphene substrates will offer huge battery life, and be less breakable, ideal for students.
Cameras and 3D screens depend on different technology. They’re not compatible, necessarily.
Flexible display devices will be distinguished from high resolution screens capable of 3D. or high res cameras. It’s either one or the other.
3D tech depends very much the angle the images are hitting your eye. I don’t see how that is compatible with, “bendy” tech.
Countdown to 5,000 . . . we should pitch in and send MHB & co a bottle of champagne!!!
That’s 3DChampagne .com of course
Congratulations Michael.
