.tv Sahar Sarid questions the value of Geo Domains

[equity78]

This blogpost was about two weeks ago. Interesting read for the Geo domainers, I think David Costello really stood out and refuted Sahar perfectly.

Steve from SimplyGeo also wrote a rebuttal to Sahars blog post, which appeared in domainnews.com, excellent article imo

This isn't the first time Sahar questions the value of geo domains. Actually he already did so two months ago on his blog.

People who are interested in geo domains should also read this other post made by Sahar and especially all the fascinating responses by the Castello brothers and other experienced domainers :

He's right about this:
"Sell when people are buying, buy when they are selling"

Thanks ray in posting this one. I must have missed this one.

Need to read stones link shortly.

Sahar I agree with most of his time and what he writes but disagre on geo thoughts.

My family owns a nice geo .com in boulder and he is happy with it. Haven't spoken with him on it in a couple years.

Curious what others say.

Could some geo owners comment on his comment geo cash flow and etc.

You have content, video, drawing in huge amount of users each month. Are you happy with revenues so far? Is your revenues offsetting your bandwith expense and development expenses in the geo area? Would be cool if some geo owners could comment on this and sahar comment on that issue. You don't need to reveal numbers. General remarks is fine.

Just curious on this. I am clueless on bandwith issues. Like Justin.tv, drawing masses and huge amounts of video but eventually there going need to start a revenue model soon. I still love Justin for the record. I had an idea on paper for a .tv project and my web guy said this is nuts and you would killed with bandwith and rich content from your user base.

Thanks stoneroses in post link. Just read it and found it interesting to read.

Local search is gaining ground.

I personally love Geo's and own about 10 myself. However, I think some people might get freaked out about the "snowe bill" and especially how it might effect
Geo's. I don't think it will come through but many people are afraid if the "snowe bill" passes government will take control of many Geo's from people.

It is simply not going to happen. People have attempted to reverse hi-jack GEO domains for 10 years.

There is a reason for .gov, they are just trying to take what they do not deserve or have any rights to. Not to mention the fact those interested individuals also have an equal right to pay market value for the .com, .TV, .net, .info, .us, domains of their choice.
