Very nice, major publication making a clear distinction between domain investing and cyber squatting.

YES, I particularly enjoyed that part, "The business is a far cry from the days of cybersquatting, where speculators bought up names of businesses to which they had no legitimate claim, but it does represent a vindication of sorts for many who bought hundreds or thousands of random Web address names on the hope that one day they would be worth something."

Too bad it has to be published on a major holiday when many readers won't see it.

Great mainstream media piece, nevertheless.

Good article. Rep left.

This part caught my eye, "NameMedia recently finished building technology where visitors to niche sites — say, one on 1957 Mustangs — will be presented with links to other sites with similar images."

Heehee... 1957 Mustangs. Either he's talking about 50 year-old horses or he's not a car enthusiast.

Read the article and wondering what company owns the most domains. Is it Name Media at this point?
