blog posting well behind schedule

I can't believe it's over a month sinc eI last posted here. That's terrible! I will have to give myself a severe talking to and get back on track with my (relevant) postings!

Some very interesting stuff going on in Domain name speculation, mainly in the .com areas at the moment, but I expect the UK to benefit in maybe a year's time. Point to note: there are people out there, with portfolios of a couple of hundred thousand domain names, pulling in revenues of up to $60 million a year. Yes, you read that right, $60million. These guys - and there are less than 10 of these top level domainers - control more web-eyeballs than Google.

Now there's also word that a large company has earmarked $1 billion (with a B) to buy domains (I assume not one at a time!).

The .co.uk space has still got a lot of dictionary words and generics available to register, either because they have simply never been registered before, or just allowed to lapse. These will start getting snapped up pretty sharpish....
