Anyone in this group have .tv food/cooking/cuisine names to showcase or sell?
I think I might want one or two if I find what I am looking for but I do not know what I am looking for (otherwise I would just contact the right person), so, therefore, the open call for names...
1. A person with expert knowledge or training, especially in the fine arts.
2. A person of informed and discriminating taste: a connoisseur of fine wines.
Definition: authority
Antonyms: ignoramus
Devil's Dictionary - A cynics view of the world by Ambrose Bierce
A specialist who knows everything about something and nothing about anything else. "An old wine-bibber having been smashed in a railway collision, some wine was pouted on his lips to revive him. "Pauillac, 1873," he murmured and died."
Antonis this seems like a good market to attack with a well developed name as food.tv is parked (badly) and gourmet.tv is in french!
I noted that .tv is advertising gourmet tv is advertised as an available premium name at $7,500.00. However if it is, then it is the best parking page I have ever seen!
I won't be developing the unspellable connoisseur.tv (which needs developed to get around the spelling difficulty issues) for a while so if you wanted to develop it I am sure we can work out an agreement for this one on a revenue-share basis.
I looked at that one last year and choose to avoid any potential issues. Entrepreneur Magazine is another that will take away anything "Entrepreneur" including Entrepreneur.TV from the original registrant...
...saw this and thought that I would drivvle on some more.
Just as the .TV Corp seem to have missed indexing IDN's (where appropriate) as premium names they also missed words like "flavour" (now regged), which is "flavor" for those of us english speaking people outside of the US.
There are stacks of words like this that have a bit of a quirky spelling in the US (or vice versa depending on your location) and there may be an opportunity to pick up some so-called "premium" regs at non-premium prices for those that are prepared to do a bit of research on the matter. Here are some to get you started:
I'm sure I often come across as anti-american! but this is ridiculous - a (french) generic term trademarked by a US corporate which can now monopolise the use of the word bon appetit in domain names !
RogueWriter, this is genuinely a very impressive effort. Kudos to you - you sent me in the right direction for what I was aiming for.
I regged CookingShows.tv (low OVT but great use of the extension). While I was at it, this stimulated my reg of CookBooks.tv and CookingRecipes.tv (less good extension match but much better OVT).
I also picked up WineChannel.tv to "protect" WineGuide.tv (which I previously had and I like).
Really, a very impressive effort overall. NP sent.
