Demand Media Credibility Tumbles To New Lows

If I sat back for a couple of hours and thought out a more sleazy response to allegations of corruption within my company, I do not think I could have done as good a job as Quin Daly has done for Demand Media.

No wonder that the forum leader has asked that given such an awful response, he would rather she not post anymore on this forum. Crap stinks and it defiles everyone and everything it touches - and the crap she wrote was of an industrial grade........

Here is what I read into what she wrote - " We are continuing to chuckle as we hand out BS to the general public with standardised formulated crap.......at the same time, anyone with deep enough pockets to be suckered into outragous early bird trumped up prices can feel free to see how much they are really prepared to bend over............

This company is now in charge of Dot TV...........if this company had already gone public, I would have dumped every last stock Iowned in it - corruption is akin to moral cancer..eventually it will take down the company in one way or another and Demand Media has it in spades 8-X 8-X

Question:
We are all waiting for the premium .TV domains to be released for sale in the near future. I noticed a few have registered before the release and auction, are Enom and Demand Media keeping these for themselves or are they pre releasing to select buyers?

Thank you for your interest.

All interested buyers should visit Enom.tv. Once there enter into the search box the premium name you are interested in. A form will pop up for you to enter your information.

Demand Media will be making them available before the end of the month. -1

s-l-o-w, auction sucks for 98% of us, because big players would now dominate the game, instead of us. Regging smart would get infinitely harder. And there's absolutely no proof that up front bucks will result in automatic development, speculation exists at several tiers.

What IU took from the comments in the other post was that DM would consider any offer made from the forms. I imagine they would use the information to generate some background checks for financial depth, etc. before cherry picking who to respond to. Maybe I'm wrong.

Landmark Communications owns

Atlanta.tv, Seattle.tv, Buffalo.tv, LittleRock.tv, Syracuse.tv, Richmond.tv, Baltimore.tv, and Tampa.tv....

They have held them for more than 12 months. So far, not development other than HamptonRoads.tv

MLB appears to own KansasCity.tv, Austin.tv, and a couple more.

No development.

So yes, bigger players does not equal development

This is where I must disagree. Enough names were not issued as premium that enough of "us" hold claim to them. It is simply beyond logic to think that an End User would pay End User price or a .tv domain giant (Net Turner) to purchase .tv premiums without any plans; particulary for an extension where traffic would be there though minimal to cover such prices less developed. I think for .tv to take off, we need big boy dollars like bud.tv and mlb.tv etc. The aftermarket is not going to die because of this. It will only make it stronger.

Some of the best names are already in the hand of domainers. But the added exposurer for the entire extension will and should and will be catapulted by the major players who can truly spread the news to the masses.

Exactly RIGHT Local Frank Schilling and Elequa the two biggest domainers have little to nothing developed.

I think the auction is the right route for Demand Media and for us .tv holders. I would rather have the names go to people with big bucks with actual development plans then a bunch of domainers (no offense) who are just going to park it. I have .tv names with strong development plans. But let's be realistic equity, if those names were on a first reg basis- most of the owners would have no development plan but would hold out for a high resell and then we ALL would suffer given that scenerio.

Much as it is painful for me to admit to, you are right SLOW.........

But that should not absolve DM of their outrageous behaviour to date.......Local Experts said either they are spinning or they hired some idiot out of high school so to speak to manage their technology, well their public relations department has yet to graduate out of kindergarten...every time Quin Daly posts on this forum, she digs a bigger hole for Demand Media and instead of clearing the air and clarifying matters -- she leaves behind the most banal of excuses ......rather she would serve a better purpose if she teamed up with the technology department and helped the recent high school graduate out with those fields

I agree with you RW Auctions certainly are not the way. And this whole thing about one .tv helps every other .tv I never bought in you will shape your destiny. BUD.tv doing a superbowl ad and hyped did nothing for my portfolio. DOT TV IS NOT NEW BEEN AVAILABLE SINCE 2000 this is not new only the hype is new and Local showed that the money does not mean development. IGAL and ELEQUA have the two best .tv portfolios and they will not develop any if ever KIDS.tv for $10,100 was the buy of 06 IMO Parked Page, xxx.tv parked many more all parked

 

[MillersCrossing]

Given the current state of affairs, I did a quick check on a name to see if it was an available premium........CUxxTS.TV - and it is!!

So I filled the form out 20 times and sent it in to FIDDLE MEDIA. Hope the joke is not lost on them.....

James, you're not S-L-O-W at all! :D

The value of this TLD will be in its content. Toward that end, Demand has already announced the availability of the social networking tools suite that power MySpace will be free to those who purchase their .TV name from eNom.

It seems to stand to reason that those who are willing to pay the "big bucks" for premium names are likely to make much more of a development investment.

Could that be the strategy? Dunno...I just work here. But it would seem pretty evident given DM's business model. All will become clear very soon.
