The February Cover Story has just been published at DNJournal.com: The Eric Rice Story: How A Displaced Domain Executive Survived (and Thrived) Despite Domain Industry Consolidation. Eric Rice was the general manager at BulkRegister.com until that highly regarded registrar was bought out by eNom, who in turn was bought out by Demand Media. Eric's story is about a guy who has soared to new heights after being forced to fly solo by the wave of consolidation sweeping the domain industry. We think you will enjoy it, especially if you love dogs!
Our weekly domain sales report is also out now and it's a doozy. The biggest sale of the year to date, involving RealEstate.net, heads our new Top 20 chart. It was one of three six-figure blockbusters this week and there were also 25 very solid five-figure sales as the market was clicking on all cylinders. You can get all of the details about a very big week for the domain business here: http://www.dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm
...and finally, we just returned from Los Angeles where we covered the debut edition of DOMAINfest Global. The conference organizers (DomainSponsor.com) put on a terrific show at a great venue, the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, California, which is part of the new Highland and Hollywood complex that includes the Kodak Theater (home of movieland's annual Oscar awards). We are currently working on a major wrap-up article on the event (that will include dozens of photos that will put you in the middle of the action) and expect to have it ready for publication by Friday night (Feb. 9). We will post a note when that article goes live on our home page.
