what does it really mean to snapnames?

"I'm writing to inform you that SnapNames has agreed to be acquired by Oversee.net. Oversee, a company already familiar to many in the domain name industry, is a technology-driven online marketing solutions company that offers an impressive array of services to domain name owners. You can learn more about the company at www.oversee.net."

That they are trying to vertically integrate (Or more accurately, oversee.net is.).
Changes? I'd imagine the default nameservers for new accounts will be set to their parking pages rather than the registrar's default, and they might require different actions from their preferred partners, etc., but on the customer side should we really see anything different? (Perhaps more transparency from snapnames?)

I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing... :yell:

I think some of the premium names dropping might not appear at auction within 6 months of this acqusition.

I think DomainSponsor will now be able to offer their customers domain registration services, which was the subject of one of their recent surveys.

it is likely more people would know snap and bid on it. Thus the bid price may go higher, not
good for us bidders.
