In what I consider to be a pretty positive artcile on the industry, the Miami Herald Published a story covering the Domainfest auction.
Always good to see the mainstream media covering the domain industry.

That is one of the most fair, balanced articles I have read in a major media publication on a domain name event. Just facts. No hype, no personal bias against domaining. Just reporting. Very nice.
It was also covered by the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel here.

thanks for reporting
yes, i agree with m.menius above
nice fair little article there
although isn’t the guy trying to sell communitycollege.com way overpricing the domain? and i mean WAY?
Hello Mike,
The very fact that Jeans.com did not sell, only proves to us all that the key word secondary market auction platform, along with industry valuations are not where they need to be for Key Word Addresses. There is a concerted and foolish resistance by the Marketing and advertising firms to quality keyword domains.
Like it or not, the marketing firms prefer branded names. I thought that this resistance would eventually wain, but it is not happening. All the B-School brainwashing remains intact and brands remain KING.
Gratefully,
Jeff
Very, very true and well said Jeff.
Leave my domain alone.

No it does not prove that. It just proves that no one at that moment offered what the Jeans.com owner wanted.
