If you are going to share details of a domain name sale, I’d urge you to disclose the domain name that was sold. There was an interesting discussion that was created over the weekend documenting a two-word .COM domain sale which occurred via Afternic.
According to the discussion, it was a $21,000 sale, but so far the domain hasn’t been mentioned. Without the name, there is only so much that other investors can glean from the discussion. If you do feel like you have an interesting sales story to share with the community, including the domain name is a must, in my opinion.
Here are this week’s Top Topics.
Warning: The Fallacy and Trap
This in-depth publication from domainer and operator of the weekly Domain Social, @Ategy, has been prompted by the efforts of the operators of the .VC domain extension to grab the coattails of the recent success of the likes of .CO and .IO within the startup community.
This must-read article gives a stark warning to domain investors to essentially avoid jumping on the bandwagon of various promoted domain extensions, especially until you have conducted your own research. Would you agree with this stance?

Showcase Your Cognitive Domains
In this week’s DNJournal sales roundup, it was reported that the domain CognitiveAutomation.com sold for $300,000, which is being paid in instalments. It seems like “cognitive” keyword domains may be something that some investors may be looking to explore further, with cognitive technology reportedly being a popular niche.
Here, domain investors who are acquiring “cognitive” keyword domain names are being invited to share their best domains in this showcase discussion.

The Curse of Owning This Domain
This investor has an interesting dilemma. According to the discussion, this domainer owns a .BA domain with a popular keyword. After enabling a catch-all email inbox for the domain, it turns out that many emails to a top aviation company are going awry, and are ending up in this investor’s inbox.
These emails contain sensitive information such as passport details. What is the best thing that this investor can do at this point?
