I hope you’re right. I have no idea what you have in mind but I always felt 2008 would be a great year. Can’t wait.

What a tease! LOL
C’mon, another hint?

telecom.com sold for $700k…thats a big bang
a bigger bang would be if Rick Schwartz puts all his domains for sale with no reserve in the next traffic auction…this would be a big bang for 2008
Fired Up !!!
I am fired up about this information….I can’t wait to hear about this…Give me my domain fix now Rick!!!

dear rick,
i have read you writings about forces gathering to take domains away from their owners because of their rising value..monetarily and for traffic.
respond in more detail are you talking about registered trademark domains?i own several generic domains and have filed a trademark application and also filed a notice of opposition the
uspto has repeadly stated
a generic name is a generic domain.
even if the rules are changed do you see any consquences for generic domain holders? art.com creditcards.com are ipos..
even countries and cities and states cannot be trademarked they are in the public domain their is
a uspto law clearly stating this.
