MEDIA ALERT



Demand Media and eNom to Release Premium .TV Domain Names

Nearly 53,000 Premium Names to be Brought Back to Market May 1


SANTA MONICA, CA AND BELLEVUE, WA, April 30, 2007 — Demand Media, Inc., the next-generation web media company, and its wholly owned subsidiary and largest wholesale registrar, eNom ®, announced today that premium .TV domain names will be made available tomorrow, May1st, at 1:00pm PT. Interested parties can go to www.domainsindemand.tv to register the nearly 53,000 names that have been off the market for close to five months.

In December of last year, Demand Media announced a strategic alliance with VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), to leverage Demand Media’s new media platform, industry relationships and web 2.0 expertise to increase .TV registrations. Demand Media is bringing the names to market in conjunction with the release of its proprietary tools to create video-centric websites with social networking with every .TV registration, free of charge.

Still not seeing where you all are seeing actual premium prices.

I go to enom.tv and search... it just brings up the old form for you to send in to request info on premium information.

never mind, I figured it out. you have to type in the word at the little search box.
These prices are what they will go for later on today???

 

[jaydub]

They say they will email you to let you know when they will be available ....I subscribed to some but haven't received any email as of yet. I assume they will email you at 1pm pst....

 

[seeker]

where did you subscribe?
Thanks!

 

[jaydub]

where did you subscribe? Thanks!

When you find a name that is coming available they give you a submit form..

 

[seeker]

ah ok, I see thank!
I assumed there was a large list where they have them all together and sent it to you.
So the prices we see, these are the final prices that they will become available at?
If so, whats all the hype about?
semi decent ones are like $500, and decent ones I found were $1000-5000

 

[TLDnetworks]

LOL! Lots of people lurking, but not much being posted...

Geuss everyone is trying to figure out what to do @ 1:00...

If 1pm is GMT 9.00pm ( making it 11pm in Greece ), then I will be in front of the .tv watching the Champions League semi final. Hopefully, some of the Chelsea players minds will be on which premium .tvs they can reg after the game, and their concentration won't be 100% - then my team might just make it to the final

Ahhh a scouser, see you in Athens when we make it another treble!

 

[TheBulldog]

I figured it out. I am just going to sit and watch as people come on here and have this conversation:

"Ok, I couldn't resist, I picked up Boxes.tv"
"Reg-Fee"
"Crap, it was 5K."

Born and bred in London - but a scouser at heart

As for another treble - lets wait and see !!

Yeah i will be in same boat, im not sure if i will slip away from watching the football for a quick 10 min to bag myself my dream .tv (doubt it though)

Im not expecting the greatest of games tonight anyway , probably a 0-0 draw :bah:

Wireless Broadband is the answer,checking out Enom with the laptop on my knee watching which team we will be facing in the final ( and no i am not an AC Milan fan before anyone says anything :lol: )

keep it under wraps but i think( and hope) Liverpool win.

I never thought i would hear myself saying that,
