Google getting into the new tld ring with extensions like .LOL

By: RH

Google came out with a blog post today that seems to be the theme of the day, "NEW TLD APPLICATIONS"

TheDomains.com, DomainNameNews and DomainNameWire have all been writing about who is applying for what.

Google posted:

In 2008, ICANN announced a program to expand the number of generic TLDs (think .com, .org, .edu), developed through its bottom-up, multi-stakeholder process, in which we participate. Given this expansion process, we decided to submit applications for new TLDs, which generally fall into four categories:

• Our trademarks, like .google
• Domains related to our core business, like .docs
• Domains that will improve user experience, such as .youtube, which can increase the ease with which YouTube channels and genres can be identified
• Domains we think have interesting and creative potential, such as .lol

Dot Sucks could be a reality

By: RH

Thedomains.com wrote a post today about Momentous Corp and their plans to apply for a .sucks extension.

Here is the link to the .sucks post on thedomains

We wrote in the past how the .sucks extension could make the .xxx pay to block your name registrations look small. What company would not want to have their name blocked in .sucks for a fee.

Andrew from DomainNameWire.com also provided a post on the topic here. He pointed out how .sucks could become the poster child for what can go wrong with the new tlds.

Here is a video that could be typical office banter if .sucks is approved.

 

Cloud.us gets sold but Go Daddy will see no money

By: RH

Earlier this week we and some other domain blogs wrote about the .us domains dropping at Go Daddy.

There were some really good names and guess what ? A lot of them got renewed and then sold so Go Daddy missed out on a lot of business.

Cloud.us closed at $8505, some thought over priced and some thought great price. What the bidders did not know was that the domain was already be negotiated for sale.

Professional domain investor Brad Mugford of DataCube.com posted this on a thread dedicated to Go Daddy Auctions at Namepros.com

"The domain acquisition started far before the auction process. I noticed it was expiring awhile back and contacted the owner about it and was told it was not for sale.

After the auction the owner told me they were going to renew the domain, and asked me if I was still interested.

I never bid on the actual GD auction.

I think the price agreed to was fair for both parties.

Brad"

We posted over one month ago about why we stopped posting auction results, this week was the illustration of why. Brad was on the opposite end of the table when he won Wrestling.us the same day the Cloud.us auction closed.

Brad posted:

"Well, I won Wrestling.us and it was just renewed.

It appears a forum member acquired that one and several other domains from the same owner.

An entire other batch of domains has been renewed and sold also.

It seems like letting domains expire is just a great way to attract interest.

Brad"

So it looks like many people are using Go Daddy the way we and others like Abdu from Domainsville mentioned.

The auction business gets more competitive every day.

Kudos to Ms.Domainer on Namepros for starting a thread that has morphed into an excellent look inside Go Daddy Auctions.

BathroomIdeas.com leads the Afternic Weekly Sales Chart

By: RH

Afternic weekly sales report

Total sales : $ 1,037,139

Top sale was bathroomideas.com $29,400.

RCtv.com was a nice sale at $15,000 the LLtv market in com/net/org is one that I have spent a lot of time following, buying and selling domains in that niche. It looks like it may be  RCtv.com is under privacy, there is a Venezuelan site on RCtv.net. Funny the .com regged in 2000 and the .net regged in 1996.

8t2.com sells on Flippa for $6000 and Joukuu.com (developed website)sells for $150,000

By: RH

8t2.com sells for $6,000 and Joukuu.com sells for $150,000

First I will say I like these 3 character that start with 4,6,7,8,9 then T for the middle character and then another number.

8t2.com regged since 2003 sold for $6000 with just one bid. I am surprised there was only one bid and it started at $6000.

Here is the link to the listing

The website Joukuu.com sold for $150,000 The interesting thing here when you check the bidding is that Flippa noted that the first bidder may be related to the seller.

The business does about $17,000 a month profit. From the listing:

Official launched on 1st November 2011. Joukuu is providing a easiest way for users to access, manage, share, edit and collaborate cloud based backup files across multiple account. Current supports Windows desktop application and Web based application. Joukuu Desktop Apps has two different versions, Joukuu Lite (Free) and Joukuu Plus ($59.99). Currently Joukuu has 220K users from the desktop application and 20K subscribers from the web application.
