WhyPark Domain AppsIt’s official. While already announced and demonstrated at the Targeted T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference in Vancouver, the alternative parkign platform WhyPark has just sent out a press release announcing their launch of “Domain Apps“. Fittingly they also purchased DomainApps.com and pointed that domain to their product description. In a nutshell the new service allows their customers to place different applications (=apps) on their domain names and thus expanding their system into a modular parking platform. The update to the platform offers the following apps:

  • Comparison Shopping (may earn additional revenue)
  • Hotel Directory
  • Local Business Listings
  • Online Flash Games
  • Twitter Stream
  • Weather
  • Web Directory (sell listings and earn $)
  • YouTube Videos

Latonas.com ScreenshotRick Latona Auctions announced that it will donate its services as well as its brand new online auction platform (developed in house) to the WhyPark Charity Domain Auction taking place from December 7 to December 11, 2009.

The auction will be the first to utilize the new beta auction platform which will replace Proxibid.com and can be found at www.Latonas.com (currently only shows a pre-registration page).

“We are excited to support the WhyPark Charity Auction,” said Rick Latona, President of Rick Latona Auctions. “It is also the perfect opportunity for us to test drive our new Latonas.com auction platform.

“The WhyPark charity auction is simply about raising funds for a charity in need,” said Craig Rowe, President of WhyPark Technology Services. “The domain name community raises funds for several charities worldwide and this is another opportunity to provide financial assistance to a worthwhile organization of the highest winning bidder’s choice. We are excited to partner with Rick Latona Auctions, a leader in the domain industry to help make this a successful auction.”

WhyPark’s Charity Domain Auction will include up to 50 domain names, all donated by domain industry leaders and all with no reserve price. The proceeds will be given to a socially-responsible charity chosen by the highest single bidder in the auction.
