 | Auction Results and Final Thoughts - NYC 2008
It's time to leave New York and go home. Overall, I think it was a very successful show. I cut a lot of deals, developed and strengthened strategic relationships and had a good time. Before I go on I'd like to say, thank you to everyone who voted for me as Domainer of the Year.

 | Never Use Dictionary Words As Domains.. And Oh Yeah, LLL.com Are Junk Domains
It amazes me how some people find the nerve to give information like this. I was randomly browsing Digital Point Forums and I saw a thread an decided to read it.

 | How Monte Cahn & Crew Pulled It Off
$3 million auction was well executed.
If anyone was scared about how yesterday’s live domain auction at TRAFFIC would go, their fears dissipated about 30 minutes into the auction. Domains were selling and bidding was intense.
Sure, the final tally of $3 million ($4 million for all auctions this week) was much less than the $10 ...

I have put "price" type of sales being odd behind me but this little group of domain names reported sold on Sedo.com are just plain ODD!
For one, Typo’s normally sell for less then Non-Typo’s, but then to have a group of 4 domains that do not make sense is all that more odd.
