How Do You Stay Ahead Of The Game?

[The Equivocate]

I occassionally skim through Wired News because its one of the modules on my Google home page, and I saw an article about this thing called IPTV, which is basically television over IP (like VoIP), and a lot of the major companies are getting involved. This was the first I've heard of it and I assume its a fairly new term, so I tried to register some IPTV domains - every good domain I could think of was taken. So then I got to thinking, if I found some good tech blogs to regularly read about the next big thing, I could register these domains early and hold on to them. Obviously IPTV has been known for a while because everything was taken. So, my question to you is, do you read any sites/blogs for the next big products or terms, and if so, which ones?

oh what r u talking about here
do u mean IPTV is a tv over the net or a tech site
i dont know what is going on here

It's the latest technology for TV show over web.
Microsoft is already into it. many more companies and all major TV channels are planning for their interactive TV over web. This probably is going to be the next generation for televisions.

you can learn more about IPTV on microsoft's website.

Yes, you should read up. It is one angle that you can take.

This way I got liveblogs.net and sold it

I also have a few domains relating to cellphone drives or disks that will soon be commonplace around the world.

Sure, you get no instant returns, but they are very good investments for the future.

It just comes down to research and speculation on future events.

I registered popebenedictxvi.com months before John Paul II died along with about 40 other possible pope names.

Paid off for me, and chances are I have the next popes name as well, as long as he doesn't choose Benedict or John Paul I think.

I would gamble on future events, products and services long before I gambled on any new domain extension.

Haha, making money of the Pope is just funny. Have to applaud your insight though.

Awesome example. Thanks for sharing!

One domain I will try and get is whatever this mysterious 10th planet is named. They submitted a name but it hasn't been announced yet, and I will keep an eye on the news and hope it isn't taken already.

I've got planetxena.com just in case they choose to embarrass the hell out of non nerds everywhere lol

LOL that was you?? I have XenaPlanet.com The result of this whole circus will be our children being taught (correctly) that we have an 8 planet solar system with a Kuiper Belt. But I digress...

About the topic of this thread...I will say what has been said over and over here at NamePros. Pick your niche market and stick with it. If you spread too thin, you'll find yourself chasing the pack all over. If you specialize, you may very well lead the pack.

I have my niche, and sometimes I stick to it.

Hmm....did you check hard enough? I just regged iptvPackages.com with the hope as the technology increases, that the domain will make some money.
