MySpace Spends $25K on MySpace.Co, A Domain They Could Have Bought For $300

September 1st, 2010 Comments off

Corporate America.

They still have a lot to learn when it comes to domain names.

A reader informed me that they were in the auction for MySpace.co and that the domain sold for $25,000.

The whois record now confirms that Twentieth Century Fox, which is owned by NewsCorp, which also owns MySpace.com, is the new owner of the domain.

Of course as the trademark holder, Fox could have just applied for the domain in the Sunrise period for around $300 and gotten the domain.

Moreover, one would think that they would have had a very good chance of getting the domain through a WIPO proceeding for 1/4 of the price they paid at auction.

In any event, failing to protect your intellectually property for pennies on the dollar with a simple sunrise application is inexcusable and having to pay $25K for something you could have gotten for $300 is either pure neglect or outright stupidity.

Speaking of Stupity, even after spending that $25K to acquire the domain they could have gotten for $300, the domain isn’t even resolving to MySpace.com.

Although the domain seems to have quite a bit of traffic, with an Alexa ranking of 700K, Fox hasn’t even updated the Name Servers and the domain is going to a parked Network Solutions page.  I’m sure Net Sol is enjoying the extra revenue.

With hundreds of new extensions on the horizon, Corporate America better start getting a better understanding of the domain space or at least hire a domain company to advise them (I can recommend one right offhand)

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 18k Yellow Gold Exclusive Piquet Caliber 3120

September 1st, 2010 Comments off

Audemars and Piquet families have been on the board of the Audemars Piquet watch company since its inception in 1875. That family commitment shows in both their style and their quality.

There watches have become more modern with the times, note the heavy feeling octagon share of their Royal Oak series, yet have retained their classic feel, never straying too far to the left. That’s no easy accomplishment.

The Audemars Piquet Royal Oak 18k yellow gold exclusive Piquet caliber 3120 exemplifies that statement. It’s both trendy and conservative simultaneously.

The watch we have even comes with cuff links. I’ve included the pictures.
