  • T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Conference
    Gas it what fuels a car, TRAFFIC is what fuels the net
  • RumorMill.com
    What's the latest rumor?
  • Property.com
    I have no business owning a great domain like this. But the rest of the universe is still asleep at the wheel.
  • Candy.com
    Another domain I have no business owning but the candy industry is still asleep at the wheel.
  • HotDates.com
    Just an example of a parked domain page.
  • Widgets.com
    The domain that can be anything it wants to be. Perhaps the most generic of all domain names.
  • ChildPornography.com Reporting Center
    This site has been online for over 7 years. I originally got it so it would not fall into the hands of someone who would exploit the most innocent. It has been a resource for reporting child porn and make it easy to look up sex offenders by state.

Hard to believe this one. This just shows how much work we still have to do to educate Corporate America on domain name value. A big story like this might help.

Regardless of the all the other issues, getting a group of alpha personalities together to pull this off is a sign of bigger things to come for all of you!

Jason

How ironic that "CheapCowboys.com" is dropping soon. Someone should donate this to the team...
