Domain Owl

This week’s premiere domain industry activity is centered in Santa Monica, where Moniker auctions and event seminars showcase the hottest development in domaining. T.R.A.F.F.I.C. is the next big show. With luck the seminars and videos will be up on Youtubes and blogs in no time. The domain industry is getting ready to mobilize to the .co universe.

But according to reports, security at gigs for domaining is getting stricter, and Elliott Silver reported today that even Frank Schilling couldn’t get in. Recent events at other domain trade shows have given rise to double checking at the gates, a sad commentary on the abuse of some domainers last year. But the domain industry babble is all about the Super Bowl Godaddy campaign and the identity of the Godaddy girl.

The hiring of Danica Patrick and NBC Biggest Loser Trainer Jillian Michaels have stirred the cup of controversy, which Bob Parsons of Godaddy likes to do himself. Whomever the Hollywood icon is, the sneak preview shows a likely suspect. Domainfest attendees will have a chance to educate the dot com entrepreneurs prowling the Playboy mansion later this week. The auctions taking place can be bid on by proxy or at Moniker online, or via a broker attending Domainfest.
