Take a good look at www.worldnetcast.com and see what he is up to and the hundreds of keywordTV.com he has put into use. This is a great topic for discussion. Nathan is moving with great speed, silently and sharply. What are your thoughts? Will this make .TV more appealing or less appealing? Are you hedging your portfolio when you are able to or not? Have you noticed that we have now reached a threshold where it is just as hard to find a decent keywordTV.com as a keyword.TV? Notice that YellowPagesTV.com and WhitePagesTV.com are in the game too.

Here is my view: I for one have hedged my portfolio as best I could buying what ever keywordtv.coms to match my keyword.tv. I did not do this all the time as many times the keyword.tv was available, but the keywordtv.com was long gone. But I do hold many keywordtv.coms without the keyword.tv to balance things out. I have also bought up many keywordtv.mobi because I believe that mobile TV will also be big. How and when, all I can say is SOON.

In regards to Nathan, he holds some serious keywordtv.coms that he is in my view hastly developing. Of course he has the funds and backing of Fort Knox to put it litely. I also prefer .tv over tv.com, and I am on the older side, pushing 40. The key here is that he is pushing streaming media via usage of the acronoym "TV." This is very important. This helps us, imo. How? In the next 18 months the spawn on .tv sites will be in quantity way ahead of tv.coms, imo. This is crucial......

In comparison, tv.coms are more expensive than .tv non premium regs. This is also good news that we have the power of availability at this time. Understand as EQ said, the very high premium fee .tv were devised to cater to end users but even so hundreds of thousands great generics were and are still availble for reg fee. This is what has helped actually gyrate mass regging of .tv. For the first time the layman could buy a well know ending, ie .TV without paying with their house for the .com counterpart. Sassover really missed the boat on this one while Rosen did not.

The zipper is beginning to come together folks:) Internet 2 is being born. The tools are getting easier to use and the number of choices available are increasing. Startups are sprouting and monies are being shifted and ad dollars are following the shift. NDAs are being signed and offers are coming in.

This is the time to develop your .tv in any form or shape to get it out there. Do the best you can with what you know and what you have. Use your primary email address even with one of your .tvs names just so others will question the .tv The world is very viral nowadays:) Help spread the word.

Here is a tip: No matter how small your development is take the step. If a buyer comes along and sees you have done something and desires your name they will psychologically offer you more for it. Why? Because it is a work in progress........and it is a little harder to take something from someone who is getting busy so to say.

SKG,

For the first time the layman could buy a well know ending, ie .TV without paying with their house for the .com counterpart.

The fact that you said this means so much more than the truth behind it; we see and understand the same phenomenon taking place before our very eyes. I wish I made that precise point with as much clarity as you did, when I wrote my article, titled, Late In The Dot TV Game.

Part of me feels as though we got lucky. The other part believes that we wanted our own piece of the Internet action and sufficiently researched the opportunity before jumping in, and got in on a good thing.

Either way, many of us with extensive dot tv portfolios are now waking up and facing a reality. The reality is that we must develop unless we have plenty of money stockpiled to sit and wait. I imagine all that it will take are few well-developed .tv names in the .tv sphere (or even more developed sites with rich media) for the momentum to further increase and more useful development applications to become available.

I am not an expert but, like you, my instinct tells me that we should anticipate more transactions for greater amounts in the next 10 months, but those transactions will be greatly outnumbered by the transactions for lesser amounts, particularly when you factor in all of the Non Disclosures that will be signed when high priced domains change hands. I am now requesting NDAs when I acquire a Dot TV name from a private party simply to protect my interests going forward.

I feel that we (as in the .tv community) should continue to encourage each other to develop, develop, develop. Sitting idle with a portfolio of undeveloped .tv names, big or small, does not help stimulate the growth of a domain holder's portfolio. By developing small with a blog, a forum, or a news site with compelling content, any domainer can facilitate the growth of their portfolio, especially with some of the embedding tools that allow you to feature YouTube videos.

While I am not real impressed with what WorldNetCast.com has to offer, it is a decent start at tackling something very big. My hope is that more and more of take a stab at development, which requires commitment. It also takes a consistent effort, small or large, to bring any site, whether it offers rich media or not, to come alive and come into its own.

I am learning first hand in my development experience that patience is one virtue that gets rewarded constantly as does an appreciation for what developers and designers can do for us.


I am looking forward to sharing and exchanging information with others on the forum. I would also like to encourage all .tv domainers to explore the NamePros forum and get accustomed to what is available here. There are a significant number of people that can help you with setting up a site, designing it, and optimizing it for search engines.

I value your opionons greatly when it comes to .TV and your thoughts about where the industry is going and what we need to do to help boost it and get it there faster.
I agree development is essential to this ext and any other for that matter.

But at first I think as Silicon said we need to put something up on our names blog, forum, information telling people how great .TV is and going to be, just something.
I'm now in the process of develping my .TV's and I have nowhere as many names as some .TV'ers and there are times when I feel overwhelmed by how many names I have to develop. I also want to do my names justice by not just "throwing" something up there but I guess we need to start somewhere.
