    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 12 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.

MyPunchBowl.com Rebranded.....Punchbowl.com Launched.....$5M?

Afternoon Folks,

Another day and another seed germinates.

"The startup also has acquired the domain name Punchbowl.com (it previously used MyPunchbowl.com). The company bought it from Rick Schwartz, the domain name pioneer who previously sold such venerable assets as Candy.com and Men.com for millions. Douglas wouldn’t say how much he paid, but said it was between one dollar and $5 million. There is strategic value, he says, in having a two-syllable brand named after an object—see Kayak.com or Facebook.com (which used to be TheFacebook.com back in 2004)."

Here is the rest of the story....

Have a GREAT Day!
Rick Schwartz
