I had conjuntivitis but still managed to win the domain I like, FootballScore.com at Latona’s domain auction

I had a conjuntivitis and sore left eye and it was “irritant conjuntivitis” according to the symptoms. I opened my eyes when having shower and hot water with some shampoo entered my eyes mostly into left eye. Since then got a red eye and I bought some eye drops to soothe it and it is getting better now. I don’t stay online more than a few minutes at each time.

But I still managed to win “FootballScore.com” at Latona’s auction. “FootballScores.com” sold at Moniker for nearly $40,000 in 2008. I always wanted to develop a live score site such as LiveScore.com and I needed a good domain. My main interest is football and ideally like to develop a “live football score” website. I would develop this domain unless I get very strong offer around the price of its plural counterpart domain sale price in 2008.

Translation Pages Hot

The big news in domain development these days is converting active native language pages to another language for a given country code or demographic. Witness a certain expert domainer branching out into translation services for exiting websites to coordinate dual language site releases.  This new service offered by WhiteBark Innovations for website translations can serve up those country code websites domainers are now looking to build.

Movie Names on the Bounce

Movie names continue to ride a fine line between copyright infringements and attractive fansite traffic magnets. Says Mike Schug, CEO of Wicked Media, “We are seeing a bright upswing in user traffic as the movies roll out”. Schug maintains Twifanatics.com, a fansite for the ‘Twilight” book and movie franchise. Participation options at the site remain a key strategy, notes the developer, who recently added a forum to the popular teen film fan site. “Content is key, as is allowing fans feedback and constant new ideas and features to enjoy”.
