For some people a domain name is only worth what they can sell it for. But to others the same domain name could be almost priceless. I was talking with my wife the other day, and she owns her own domain, and she has had it for a few years already - she owns the simple yet intelligent name, Ideaoverflow.com, which as a name is not really worth all that much. But to her, it is priceless, she came up with the name and we registered it right away and have had it in the family ever since.
Just before that, she came up with the name for my company, Straightfocus.com, and also, that domain has been in our family for almost 5 years now. I am not so sure I could sell it either, I really do like it and if I did sell, I would have to change the name of my company, and that would stink!
Other names that I own currently (and could be worth something) are as follows:
GoHD.tv
IGolfer.tv
GetEthos.com
Highlightworld.com
LatestFocus.com
StopWireless.com
And then I have a ton of other ones too, but honestly they are only worth something if someone offers me something. Take a look and see what I am talking about:
HITELMEDIA.COM
TOURSMEDIA.COM
BUFFMEDIA.COM
HIGHLIGHTGUIDE.COM
FINALAIM.COM
ENDFOCUS.COM
BESTAMERICANWIRELESS.COM
BESTCITYWIRELESS.COM
BESTLOCALWIRELESS.COM
EASYFREEWIRELESS.COM
EASYHOMEWIRELESS.COM
MYAMERICANWIRELESS.COM
MYCELLWIRELESS.COM
MYCHICAGOWIRELESS.COM
MYDIRECTWIRELESS.COM
MYINTERNETWIRELESS.COM
WEBFREEMOBILE.COM
STRAIGHTCONCEPT.COM
STRAIGHTIDEA.COM
THESTRAIGHTIDEA.COM
BDYNAMICINC.COM
And I guess in reality some of them could be worth something, but more than likely they are not going to sell, unless I develop a web site that creates value, and then in turn I will get some traffic, and then hopefully some dedicated visitors, and then, and only then, will it become worth something.
There are also a lot of places that will give you an appraisal on your domain, and some are even automated. They basically take measurements of your name, take the length and any key or dictionary words and give you what they might think the fair value is for that name. BUT, their value and YOUR value can be 2 completely different things.
Anyway, I just thought I would share a little bit.
Have a Great Day!

.TV - The Domain You MUST Have!
At least that is what My buddy Mr. Rosenblatt was quoted as saying on the cover of this month's DNJournal.
“Verisign is an important eNom Founder Paul Stahura(now Demand Media President) partner and we are thrilled to be working with them on .TV. It has been a collaborative process and we are working together to really build out the best possible offering that will drive .TV adoption,” Rosenblatt said. "We plan to make .TV ubiquitous. We are going to spend a lot of money to make .TV the domain you must have!"
I have to comment on this by saying that they are hyping up the hype, and for good reason too!
The .TV domain name is going to be so big that the .com's are going to be jealous. I personally think the reason for this is mainly going to be because of the way technology is headed. Like I have mentioned in previous post, one day, you will be able to control everything with one thing, your TV, or a notebook. Look at what my buddy Mr. Rosenblatt said in closing:
In closing Rosenblatt added, “I realize that I keep coming back to the same point of focusing on the user. Don’t tell users what they have to do, or how to do it. Just give them the place, give them the tools, and give them the means to find other like-minded people to share what they know. And keep innovating and giving them new and powerful tools to make doing all that even easier!”
So, to sum up this post, without sounding like I know everything, and this is just a suggestion, go buy a .tv domain name that makes sense to you, it just might be the best thing you ever purchased!
