This week, NamePros has brought you two great interviews. On Monday we published an interview with BrandBucket managing director Michael Krell in what could be considered an introduction to brandable domains. On Tuesday, we spoke with Nat Cohen, a legendary domain investor and an ICA board member. If you missed either interview, they are available on the NamePros blog. Both interviews are full of valuable information that could be of great importance to you.
Here are this week's Top Topics.
Is .COM Always King?
We know that .COM is the most popular gTLD, providing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of sales per year. However, an investor has asked the question of whether .COM is still king in local markets.
The South African investor noted that if he is looking for a local service, he will look for a .co.za ccTLD - the TLD of South Africa. With end users in mind, is it best to concentrate on .COM or put some focus on your local ccTLD? Have your say in the discussion.

I Pushed The Wrong Domain Name
Have you ever pushed the wrong domain name during a sale? One investor has shared their story of a domain sale gone wrong. After agreeing to sell a four-letter .NET, the seller actually transferred a valuable four-letter .COM domain - BPBT.com.
According to the discussion, the seller has only noticed this recently, six months after the transaction.
The seller is attempting to retrieve the domain, but after six months, will this work?
