My Picks for the Dot Me Auction

Everyone seems to be sharing their favorites in the dot me auction coming up on Sedo so I figured I would throw my picks into the hat.   On one hand, I'm glad to see that Sedo was fortunate to have the blog writers of the industry support the auction and write about it.  On the the selfish hand, it means the prices are going to be higher.  I was going to do a pick list either way because I see some great names on the board.  Here are my favorites for today  999.me  I like all the numbers.   Can't get much easier to type and say aloud Wifi.me   Not sure if wifi can be used as a verb but I...

DomainShane’s Picks for the 2012 T.R.A.F.F.I.C Live Auction Power.com Will Sell

It's the he auction we've all been waiting for all summer.  The auction that is going to change the way all auctions are run from this point on.  While it may not do all that,  it does look like the auction is going to do well and I'll tell you why.  Rick has brought in the big boys to make sure that some of these names move.  Big boy names and big boy buyers.  I also think power.com will sell.  This alone will make the auction a success.  Exactly like I predicted for social.com, it may not sell at the auction reserve, I feel it will change hands as a result of it being listed. I've spent severa... Read More »
