IAC will pay for every download for these types of things as it then gets their toolbar on your PC which they monetize via Google rev share. I did not research, but popularscreensavers.com I believe is the IAC solution which they tie in with cursormania, webfetti, zwinkys, etc. The market is not in the screensaver itself, but the downloaded toolbar that was included and its instant install and monetization via search. This domain realistically may be cash flow positive within 1 year with minimal development. Screensavers is a huge market to monetize.

(posted for the people that might not know it.) A scorpion asks a frog for help crossing a river. Intimidated by the scorpion's prominent stinger, the frog demurs. ``Don't be scared,'' the scorpion says. ``If something happens to you, I'll drown.'' Moved by this logic, the frog puts the scorpion on his back and wades into the river. Half way across, the scorpion stings the frog. The dying frog ask, ``How could you? You know that you'll drown?'' ``It's my nature,'' gasps the sinking scorpion. CADNA is in the game for the money. More they scare the IP holders, more they make.

A scorpion asks a frog for help crossing a river. Intimidated by the
scorpion’s prominent stinger, the frog demurs.

“Don’t be scared,” the scorpion says. “If something happens to you,
I’ll drown.” Moved by this logic, the frog puts the scorpion on his
back and wades into the river. Half way across, the scorpion stings
the frog.

The dying frog ask, “How could you? You know that you’ll drown?”

“It’s my nature,” gasps the sinking scorpion.

CADNA is in the game for the money.
More they scare the IP holders, more they make.

Menius Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:04:19 +0000 http://www.thedomains.com/?p=7932#comment-27993 It would make for a fascinating blog post (or even a site unto itself) to list "whatever happened" to some of the more prominent, high dollar domain sales. There are many 6 figure sales over the past 3-7 years. Are they developed now, a parking page, redirected to another site? Do we know the buyer, and are they an investor or true end user? Would make for interesting reading. It would make for a fascinating blog post (or even a site unto itself) to list “whatever happened” to some of the more prominent, high dollar domain sales.

I know that everything I supported such as EOI, Vertical Integration and the issue of the IP Clearing House was shot down. ICANN does not seem to listen to new entrants and likes to keep their status quo. I was even rejected by the Business Constituency which is run by a few people. The reason: conflict of interest :) ICANN has not listened to anything I have said and they have not listened to many of the new entrants. A lot of flip-flopping is happening. I hope there will be progress. Let me not get started with conflict of interest at ICANN. Big business and the "real" insiders always win it seems. Entrepreneurs like me sit and wait and are being lied to 3+ times about dates and the launch of gTLDs.
