Identifying a Trend - Trans+word Assets

Eric Lyon is a contributor to the appraisal, having written several in-depth appraisals of domain names to help current owners. He was recently asked to appraise a two-word name that began with "Trans". Eric noticed a number of sales with the "trans" keyword within the past few years.

Could Trans+keyword domain names be a "low pulse trend". Do you own any names with the "trans" keyword that have seen an increased inquiry rate within the past couple of years?

Poll: What Do You Think of GoDaddy's New Auction ID?

Recently, GoDaddy introduced auction ID's to add more transparency to their marketplace after the company announced that they had "identified an employee who engaged in activities in violation of our policies".

This discussion and poll asks investors to share their opinion on this new addition to the GoDaddy platform. Do you want more action to be taken?

Interesting Use of a New gTLD

New domain extensions (new gTLD's), for want of a better phrase, have been in operation for several years with varying degrees of success. Some extensions have been adopted by numerous end users whilst some have fallen out of favor.
