I sure blew this one.
But at least I’m not alone.
The next big thing is going to be 3D.
3D was the talk of the Consumers Electronic Show in Vegas in January.
3d Tv’s are already on sale and the World Cup was broadcast by Directv in 3D.
ESPN is launching its own 3D channel any day now on Directv.
Yup its going to be huge and I missed to boat completely.
However it doesn’t look like I’m alone.
Looking through the best 3D domains I could think of it doesn’t look like Frank, Kevin or even Rick locked up any of the best 3D domains or at least what I consider to be the best of the best.
I thought it would be interesting to take a look to see who owns the best of the 3D domains.
Lets start with the 5 star domain for the topic, 3D.com.
Its owned under privacy at Network Solutions.
The domain name was created all the way back in 1994.
The domain goes to a Net Sol, parked page so whoever owns it, isn’t making any money off of it, and it does get thousands of visitors a month according to Compete and Alexa.
A Waste.
3DTV.COM Is owned by an end user, Brad Beckerman of Beverly Hills, California
Its actually a pretty cool flash site you should check it out.
3DTELEVISION.COM and 3DGlasses.com are owned by an end user, Deep Vision 3D, of Hollywood, CA, although the 3dtelevision.com domain is not resolving properly for me the company sells 3DGlasses on the 2nd domain.
The domain, 3-DGLASSES.COM is owned by an end user, Theatric Support of Studio City, California
3DTVS.COM is registered to Jon Schultz of Blue String Ventures, Inc.
The domain, 3-dtv.com goes to a parked page and is under privacy.
Ted Amaradidis of Delray Beach Florida, owns 3-DMOVIES.COM and 3Dmovies.com and 3Dmovies.tv
3DTELEVISIONS.COM is owned by domainer, Gregg Ostrick of GNO, Inc.
3DSPORTS.COM is owned by our good friend Chad Folkening of Ecorp.
3DMOVIETHEATERS.COM is owned by Ralf Schumacher, who is another fellow I know pretty well.
3DTHEATERS.COM is owned by a Daniel Symmes of Woodland Hills, CA and is another domain not resolving properly.
The domain name, 3DADVERTISING.COM is owned by our good friend Stephen Douglas of Success Click.
The domain 3dprojectors.com is owned by Scott Bennett of Glasgow who is using it for a blog.
3DGAMES.COM is owned by another good friend and ICANN’s worst nightmare, George Kirikos.
3D.TV and 3-D.Tv are both owned by a Guy named Ben Geren.
(If you are not familiar with Mr. Geren He also owns some of the best possible .FM domains, including Rock.FM, HipHop.FM, Classical.FM, and Country.FM, ClassicRock.FM, and Oldies.FM just to name a few as well as some pretty good .TV Domains including, wireless.tv, channels.tv. concerts.tv and cinema.tv)
Congrats boys, you own part of the future and you all kicked my ass.
The next big thing is NOT 3d. Have you ever tried to watch a 3d movie, or TV show? They suck. The TVs that are supposedly “3d” enabled right now – also suck. 3D will NEVER take off. They can all take these words to the bank. I wouldnt waste my enemy’s money on 3D domains.
FS owns 3dfootball.com, a very nice one
They have a long thread on DNF about 3d.
If I can’t own one of the prime 3D domains (which is too late now),
I’m not going to waste money on mediocre domains.
3DHealthRisk ,com is available.
🙂
Must disagree – the new 3D stuff is going to be awesome. And why not get a halfway decent name. They’re only going to be more expensive in 2019, when there are 3d wristwatches and hourly shuttles to Mars.
Thanks Mike…just regged 3-dFlashgames.com
I have 143 3D and 3-D domains in my portfolio including:
3dflatscreentelevision.com ,

There are still plenty of good names to be found, as I did just recently too.
i got 3dbullshit
My business partner has always owned ddd.tv – I’m not a big fan of .tv but he receives offers for that name all the time.
Tech domains are always a bigger gamble. You hold them for years counting on their short shelf. Think of CD.com, how many more years before that one is just a LL.com (which yea I know too bad on it’s own but u get my point). I agree with your best of the best thing, it’s at least hard to go wrong with those. Going ape shit registering any 3D domains may not be the best biz strategy for someone.
I agree that 3d will be hot, Congrats to Howard for getting ahead of the curve.
I’m jumping on 855 number .coms that I think will be in high demand after the Oct 1 launch of 855 toll free numbers. I can see the .com being valuable when used in conjunction with 855 numbers to bolster response to TV, Radio and print ads by companies that own and use the new 855 numbers.
An update on this blog post, for kicks (yea I got sucked in after all) I checked all these “best of the best” 3d domains but did a find an replace on the 3 for a 4 (so 4D) and all but two were taken, so I reg’d them being coined best of the best from on high.
So now I’m the proud owner of 4-DGlasses.com, and 4DMovieTheatres.COM (The english spelling).
I also went and checked 5dtv.com, and up. The first available one is 10DTV.com. Any takers?
I have 3Dfolios.com and it gets only 15-20 type-in visitors per month (while 3Dfolio.com is an actual 3D portfolio – developed by an end-user). I didn’t actively tried to sell it, but I’ve listed for sale on sedo, just $100 …. and no luck.
I think that 3D is a decent market but far from top ten (I don’t want to suggest that my domain is a premium or anything but I expected more traffic).
NameAdmin/Frank owns 3dFlash.com
I own 2 swedish 3D .com domains.
3DGlasogon.com (“3D glasses” non idn way of spelling)
3DGlasögon.com (“3D glasses” the correct swedish word for it)
Sorry, most of these domains without the “3d” are poor – adding “3d” as prefix doesn’t make it better.
Reminds me of the delusional domainers from years back who registered a bunch of “virtual(keyword)” or “internet(keyword)” or “cyber(keyword) domains…all hot words from yesteryear
Or the redundant keyword “flatscreen” – when everything today is flatscreen.
Well, outside a tiny number that are truly relevant, that sell to end users, most of them are worthless.
In 5 yrs or whenever, when everything is 3D many of these names will have little value (think “internet(keyword)” domains).
Well anyway, it’s nice that some people have a nice pastime similar to playing the lottery & at least some of you domainers are not doing harm to anyone else…
As usual registries/registrar make coin from gold prospectors.
Will 3D be popular? Sure.
Will it make mediocre 3D domains valuable. No.

Got 1, that’s it 1, BUILDA3DWEBSITE.COM And it my be good for 1 minute 1 day! 🙂
I only have one 3D domain name, and I’m the end user. 3DArcade.net, Dot com was taken and the owner wouldn’t sell it to me for anything. He also owned .net but let it expire so I took the 2nd best!
I sold 3DLaptop.com for $1000 when I paid less than $10 for it 60 days earlier. I even had to wait a few days as SEDO (the auction I sold it for) said I was shy of the 60 days. I have other 3D Domain names that are getting hugh amounts of traffic from all over the world without ever advertising them.
Two words. Pigeon Shit.
Hi Em-Bee
Thanks for the mention of my “3Dadvertising.com”. Those who questions its relevance should just put a google news alert in quotes for “3d Advertising” to see that every agency, company, manufacturer, marketer is jumping into the 3D advertising world. It’s a no brainer. Everyday I get a minimum of 15 news articles regarding new advances in advertising with 3D technology.
However, I agree with AGGRO’s assessment of “adjective” related nouns that will become so mainstream at some point, making the adjective moot. If an adjective becomes too commonplace for the prodservs, it will basically extinguish itself, such as the adjective “online”. Remember how many domains were registered with that word? Well, everything you define for the internet is “online”, so it’s redundant. I call it the “Redundancy Principle” for domains my clients should avoid buying. It takes a lot of study and IQ. Luckily, in this case, 3D will be growing and evolving for 10 years or longer, so the choice between “non-3D” and “3D” will still be the defining option, keeping the 3D adjective very powerful. Within that time, holograms will introduce themselves. I pwn this sector completely. 😉
Anyway, 3D names have to be specific, and relegated to consumer/business use in a way that an enduser will be able to brand it for its prodservs. I didn’t seen any other domains in the comments that I would consider high value, although some should sell for four-five figures at some point. I liked “3Dfreetrial.com” and “3DTVFX.COM” (nice brand).
3Dadvertising.com is probably in my top 5 best 3D domains, (several high five figure offers) which I bought five years ago forward. The others (out of 40):
•3Dadvertisement.com
•3Doptical.com (for the glasses. I have had several five figure offers on this one)
•3Dhomeviewer.com(and 3Dhomeview.com) for the ultimate in presenting your house for sale
•3DTVbroadcasts.com (which will run about a five year “is it in 3D or not” style choice, dulling the “Aggro Razor” theory.
•And, for the realistic marketing studio/networks – 3DTVAmerica.com
Oops, more than five.
Thanks again, Em-Bee.
I think 3D is going to be a popular fad, but not as big as most are predicting. I tried a 3D TV at the Sony Store and had a migraine headache for 2 hours along with messed up vision. Don’t know if that is how everyone’s eyes react to that kind of extreme vision perspective change, but for me it was enough to have no interest in going 3D.
I didn’t like the experience of everything jumping out towards me either.
The person in charge of the TV section in the local Costco store told
me last month that they will be featuring a number of 3D tv’s this
summer/fall.
People were “on this” early, leaving only a few modestly interesting .nets for latecomers like myself, such as . .
3DTELEVISION.NET
3DVIDEO.NET
3DVISION.NET
D3D.NET
E3D.NET
DDDTV.COM
DIGITAL-3D.COM
DIGITAL3D.NET
DIGITAL3DMOVIES.COM
DIGITAL3DVISION.COM
3DAPPLICATIONS.COM
3DINTERACT.COM
a TV it’s a TV it’s a TV…
This type of domains have a very short term “Shelf life” (aside from 3d.com )
Just like : Big screen TV, Flat Screen TV, Plasma TV, HD TV , Satelite TV , Super HD TV. True HD TV,
By the same token : Movies are Movies…
Even if 3D becomes the standard nobody it’s going to say perpetually ” I am going to watch a “3d Movie”…
fads are fads.
till the next big thing.
I think the key here is to hold on to your 3D domains for another year or two when the market really explodes. I have a few…
3Dballgame.com
3Dtuners.com
3Dandroids.com
3Dsimulcast.com
and I’m right there with you JP on getting a jump on the 4D market
4Dlaptops.com
4Drentals.com
4DDVDs.com
4Dcellphones.com
Who knows, maybe one will pan out.
MHB, i think you omitted one of the ‘biggies’. 3DPorn.com .. just sayin. that has got to be a huge market coming down the pipe
Domain Animal
Maybe I’ll just wait & get 3dporn.xxx
@ Eric,
3Dballgame.com
KILLER. This is already a MAJOR focus with all the TV and sports cable networks. Hold on to it and let those who want it slobber…
good job
Sorry to burst the 3D bubble here, but has no-one else read this?
http://www.audioholics.com/news/editorials/warning-3d-video-hazardous-to-your-health/
The occasional 3D movie is OK, but prolonged exposure to 3D can damage your vision and is especially hazardous to children who’s vision is still developing.
I suspect 3D TVs and 3D Games may be prohibited by authorities in the near future.
Hi, These are entertaining post and comments – thanx! 🙂
3dpigeonshit.com is still available Andrew, you gonna grab it or what?
Lol. I could start a directory with 95% of the names here. 🙂 As a someone once told me “unless someone is searching for the exact term it’s worthless”. If, as some people on here say, they received 5 figure offers for domains with 1k global exact search domains, you’d be an idiot not to sell. Allocate that capital elsewhere!
Hahahahaha … they closed NP thread and now the same 3D bunch is here promoting their 3D names – where else will they go.
By the way, 3D is not the next big thing. Mobile is the next big thing.
I have a few:
Now3D.com
4DTV.net
3DPlayers.net
3DTelevisionShow.com
3DTelevisionShows.net
3DBlurayPlayer(s).org
3DTelevision.ch
3DFernseher.ch
3-DTelevision.org
3-DTelevisions.net
3-DBluray.net
3-DDisplays.com
3-DFilm.net
3-DMovie.org
3-DSet(s).com
3-DTVs.org
Agreed, 3D popularity will increasingly skyrocket — glasses free 3D is the next iteration that will gain traction.
What started off as a nice post about the top 3D names deteriorated to a bunch of comments about rubbish 3D names (not all, but many).
3d domains were mentioned to me 3-4 years back – when i realized i was dusted long ago.
MHB, you should get a commission from the registrars who benefited from all the new 3d-related domain registrations inspired by this post.
I have.., I have…, I have…, ……….. Good grief. Hijacking someones blog to pump one’s domains. The desperation wreaks..
Further evidence, the ‘true money’ in domaining today, is in being a registrar!!
Gee, what a surprise. This blog post has gone the exact same direction of every 3D thread on every domain forum – from a discussion to a shameless self promotion tool.
Brad
have to agree w/ Brad and Kevin M. poor etiquette imo.
I save my “self gratification” for the top of a 14,000 colorado peak – I gennerally get more satisafaction directing “matters” with the brisk wind.
The silver lining in publishing a list of domains for sale on a blog is a reminder of how few pure generic brandable terms there are relative to the amount reserved for speculation purposes – per the reason to have a registrar as the previous guy mentioned.
God knows I have let countless of my own drop as well – part of the tuition we pay to get where we are.
Brian
I got some adult names.
3DInternetPorn.Com
3DFreePorno.Com
3DUpskirt.Com and a few more with naughty names.
Another excellent article, now reduced to a sales pitch for people who own terrible 3D names .
This always happens, Michael did not ask you to show us your names, but you need no excuse to start listing your names in the slight hope someone will email you saying “Wow , i saw your name on TheDomains.com , how much do you want for …..?”.
You can’t buy class.
TV
I agree, I was traveling today but now removing all comments where people are trying to simply sell their domains.
Guys if your trying to sell domains on the blog, your going to be put into the spam folder and thereby blocked by Word Press.
Its a fine line but you know the difference between bragging on your domains and trying to sell them
Pat
Your right.
I should be on commission
I wonder how many 3d domains got registered today
3DTVs.com is owned by Blue String Ventures, of which I am majority but not full owner. For some reason Moniker lists the Administrative Contact of domains as the Registrant. Bug in their system, I think.
MHB, I think that 3Dphone.com is one of the best global 3D domains.
Ralf Schumacher? The F1 driver?
Mega disruptive trends are passing us by while we argue on 3D…
A) Group buying
B) Mobile Ads
C) Social Media
D) Location based services
E) Mobile Payments
Recent article in Mashable.com has more insights on the above sunrise trends…

How about http://3-d.com 🙂
Though I don’t really think 3d domains is that hot.
3-d.com is owned by E-CO.com
Which may have thought about buying e.co which recently sold.
3-d.com is going to a parked page
I found 3Dking.me’s “top 10 3D Domain wish list” from “My Top 10 Favorite Domain Names” on Elliot’s Blog as follows:

3dHomeMovies.com
3dMovieExperience.com
@Forecast
I agree bro, but but I know several good domainers that have your A,B,C,D, and E covered too. Any good future trend domain buyer got into those at least five years ago.
Good call tho. There’s always a “future”, I think. So use basic “current” trend domain buying for the same theory on buying future trend domains.
Talking about disruptive trends…
What about LED lighting?
With the potential for replacing billions of incandescent and fluorescent bulbs/lamps (including appliance and automotive) over the next decade, I’d say that’s no small change.
How’s 3dhot.com
Not stellar but nice and short.
@Lou Mindar
No, I am not the F1 driver 🙂

@Ralph Schumacher,
Please contact me for further information on 3D domain marketing. I see at least seven very valuable 3D domains you listed. Join my little club and push the domains to their best value. Another domainer and myself joined forces over five years ago to gather up these kinds of domains, which will obviously work huge. You can get my email address from Em-Bee or my blog.
good job
Jothan, you big lug.
Yeah, that brand is huge. Don’t act like you don’t know it! I’ll give you a call, or you can call me and I can get you situated. Of course, you’ll have to tell me how the internet works. ‘-)
@SDM
LED light replacement. You are doing your homework, dude. Now to find a term for this conversion that will work on a consumer level. I started looking into this 2 years ago, and it’s not going to be easy to find the right domain. If you find something under 10 characters that defines a strong promotion of the LED conversion, you’ve hit pay dirt.
very good!
TIP: when buying domains, try to avoid double adjectives if you can, unless the niche goes exactly to those prodservs. (such as “3D” [adjective] “Home” [adjective] “Movies” [noun].com). This domain leads you to another question: are there really “home movies” beyond 8mm cameras? You have to think of these things before you buy the domain. It’s actually not a bad domain tho…)
I’m just giving this inside info here on Em-Bee’s blog because he made my day. 😉
Stay tuned for some incredible domain paths to choose (you can even see Rick Latona seeing the light in a “telling” comment he made to RJ on DNJ over six months ago. I have a copy of it on my blog. There’s going to be an avalanche of amazing domain sales and website buildouts that are going to pop eyeballs.
I failed to mention Jothan’s killer domain brand for the 3D consumer explosion:
3DHOT.COM
Like, this domain is hot in three dimensions! Seriously, these kind of domains are being looked at by thousands of ad agencies, mainstream and production companies. Follow Jothan’s lead.
As far as those who think only registrars are making money from this kind of focus on 3D domains, I’m assuming you don’t have any domains in this category to give yourself and anyone else a stiffy. Yes?
I can only dream to imagine how much money them guys are going to make.
here are a few of mine:
3DLaptops.info
3DAnimations.info
Watch3DSport.com
3DTelevisionScreen.com
Quality3DMovies.com
New3DTechnology.com
3DScaryMovies.com
3DPlasmaDisplay.tv
3DPlasmaScreen.tv
Why am I such a sucker, and furthermore why have I not unsubscribed from this post yet so I can stop thinking about this. Well, this post just cost me about another $25 as I just reg’d
dddProjector.com
dddProjectors.com
dddProjecting.com
Of course it would have been really cool if I just reg’d the above 3 with the prefix 3D instead of ‘ddd’.
Well I did it again, already. What has it been 5 minutes? Anyway, this is my last reg of this sort I swear, but I think some here will be proud, I took it one step further.
HolographicTheaters.com
That’s right, holographic TVs. It’s a real thing too, coming to a living room near you (well from glancing over the eons of google results).
Don’t worry, I already checked, all the other Holographic domains are taken, though I don’t think I checked everything with just the prefix ‘holo’ in case that turns out to be what people call it.
Ok, stopping now. Is this really what I should be doing with my time here in Bali?
@Joe,
Have fun in Bali.
Yes Holographic is the NEW 3D. What is “4D”? Nothing.
HolographicTheaters.com is a killer domain. You’re on the right track. But just email me directly for more info if you’re going in this direction.
How about 3DLCD.com ?
The global market for 3D display will be worth in excess of a hundred billion dollars.
LCD will be the primary display technology used for 3D displays, as a result of its wide range of display applications ranging from small mobile phones to large public displays and TVs, according to DisplaySearch (January 4, 2010)
Already, lots of 3DLCD web sites have been developed by many countries such as 3dlcd.com, 3dlcd.ca, 3dlcd.nu, 3dlcd.com.au, 3dlcd.co.uk, 3dlcd.eu, Samsung3dlcd.org ………… (within a short period after CES 2010)
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) revs up the 3D revelry with some stats, according to CEA:
. 4.3 million 3D TVs will be sold in 2010 (that ‘s 25% of all set sales)
. 53% of adults want to watch 3D at home, according to CEA survey
. 1 in 4 folks plan to buy a 3D set within the next 3 years
If this thread continues to evolve, people will start registering
3DConcrete .com
3DLightingStore .com
3DDogFood .com
3DAluminumFoil .com
3DElectricCar .com
Interesting observation, 3DConcrete is reg’d since 2001.
Enom took control of the domain in 2008.
The domain was initially owned by a concrete company.
lol
Hey I’ve seen movies branded as 4d before. In seaworld. They shake the seat, spray u with water, emit smells, etc… Not the true meaning of 4d though
Very short time “shelf life” for this type of domains.
Ask the people that had/have “Big Screen” “HD” “plasma” True HD” “Satellite” domains…
Sell them while they’re hot…
People will continute to buy TV’s (period)
People will continute go to the movies…
(exceptions apply : 3d.com 3dtv (s) .com and a ahndful of c.c ‘s )
…till the Next Big Thing.
I can’t help but mention this audio equivalent to 3d video:
binaural music & sound
This technology has been around for years, but it never had the opportunity for broad adoption because implementation relied on the use of earbuds or headsets. The iPod changed that.
The concept is fairly simple. Special, miniature microphones are placed in the ear canals (or computer simulated ear canals). When the sound is played back, the brain is unable to distinguish playback from the actual sound originally recorded. The result: dimensionality of sound that must be experienced to be believed. It is beyond surround sound. You know this when you attempt to localize the sound to your headset, when listening, and can’t!
For a demo, go to the iTunes store and listen to the “Darwin Chamber” album demo (earbuds or headphones required): 3D Dante’s Inferno (Headphone Remix) 1:54 – Darwin Chamber 3D
advertising in 3d may well be a lucrative avenue to explore also
i recently purchased 3dvideomarketing.com
I also setup a 3d niche directory for fellow 3d domainers who develop domains into sites
3ddirectory.net

Hey Domo :).. please don’t mistake HD with 3D.. not even close to the same thing… HD is an ‘ENHANCEMENT’ – 3d is an ‘EXPERIENCE’ – not to mention the amount of ways that 3d can be applied to so many every day things (like phones, and computers and tv and education ..etc..
Unfortunately, i may never make this list of TOP 3D NAMES, but out of the few hundred that i own, i think i have some nice ones stashed away.
When considering 3d Domain names, i pretty much looked past the product names and directly to HOW 3d will effect the web and HOW 3d can be applied and really make an amazing website useful and beneficial, so a lot of the names i have i think are going to look much better in the years to come then they will at the moment.
What i mean are a couple of names like:
3d Rental Homes or 3dHouse Rentals, 3d Dating Websites or 3d Dating Sites or 3d Shopping Sites ..etc..
… names that i think will eventually be here and in very high demand… factor in the CPC for the terms withOUT the 3d and these could be very heavy hitters later.
There are a few other names that have emerged as BIG terms this past year that even industry insiders may not have predicted, like 3d AIO (or 3d All In One) … point being that you still CAN join a party a little later and have some fun.
Here are a few of my FAVORITE 3d and FT names (not necessarily my BEST names though)
• LIVE3dEvents.com
• LIVE3dTelevision.com
• 3dAdvertisingAgencies.com
• 3dOnlineMarketing.com
• 3dTestDrive.com
• 3dVideoMail.com

• Online3d.net
• Streaming3d.net
• 3dGame.co.uk
• Map3d.co.uk
• Net3d.co.uk
• Travel3d.co.uk
* The Traveling industry is another industry that should reap tremendous viewers once 3d virtual tours are stereoscopic video’s and not just some panoramic picture… Any 3d Geo buyers here? – i definitely missed the boat on those – i grabbed a bunch of .info’s and .us’s for the fun of it but was not lucky enough to scoop up any of the dot-coms.

I can’t wait til Schilling, Buydomains and Marchex start posting all of their 3d domains for sale in this thread.
The following domains are available.

Dear sir, I started this run on 3D several years ago… I’ve promoted 3D and other technologies for domainers to try to purchase OOTB domains for Future Trends (FT domains).
Unfortunately, my good friends, including Frankie, Kevin, Rick & Rick, Em-Bee, Howe-Doggie, El, Dub-A and several other top domainers weren’t buying these domains cuz I wasn’t promoting them during the period of time I was building my portfolio for these domains that will define our consumer/business focus in the next three years . All these domain experts already had success in their experienced areas, and God love them, they make waaaaaaaay more money than all of us, including me.
However, in the next five years, my domains will “mature”, along with several other domainers I know who were smart enough to look into the future for their killer PREMIUM domains. Domaining is a fantastic business to be in. You can buy current topic domains from someone who just wants quick cash, and then flip that domain for twice what you paid.
Ironically, I have two partners who sit around in their underwear, shooting squirrels in their backyards, but selling domains they buy one month for four figures, and resell them for five figures or more a few months later. All while sipping beer and keeping up with daytime TV. Laugh all you want, you’ll just be mimicking what these geniuses do daily. It’s a blessing, and I hope they understand this. Me, I took that “invest in a neat name” representing something coming soon.
There are “old school” domainers who have their techniques to make lots of money, and there’s the “new school” that’s going to “school” the “old domainers” on what’s going to be current this year and the next few years.
The Masters of Domaining succeeded greatly in nabbing the best of the best “current trend” d0mains. They didn’t spend time looking to the future. I did. I have spent 8 hrs a day (night) searching science and technology for domains that represented what’s coming up next. That was MY strategy (I can give the credit to my wife, who wouldn’t let me spend $100k on a domain I wanted – her reasoning was “make what you got generate cash, then we can talk”). I love my woman.
Anyway, 3D is only one small aspect of FT domaining. The field is wide open. I explained this on my blog and way back in 2006 with Monte Cahn on Domainmaster Radio.
If you think 3D is a joke, pick the most valuable phrase with the adjective “3D”, and google ALERT it for your email. Then see how many news articles appear from those ALERTS every day.
You’ll be a believer in 3D domains very quickly. BUT, remember, 3D is just one small facet of FT domaining. Thats’s what I teach my clients and myself. I also tell my clients the other ten most promising FT prodservs for them to look at. But as always, “buying domains takes brains.” (©stephen douglas 2010)
Much success to you!
Stephen,
#1 – My point was – it is rude to post your domains for sale on someone elses thread.
#2 – They are making the same mistakes many of us made a number of times over the years.
They are taking an excellent category and reg’ing every possible combination.
They (and all of us) need to stay prime. If you want to own a prime 3d, shop around for a good domain at a good price. By reg’ing a bunch of garbage is throwing money in the garbage can.
And, you are making an assumption that old-time domainers are not continously looking for new trends and categories of domains.
Hi Bro,
I wasn’t ripping the old timers — but trust me, they aren’t “focused” on analyzing and studying “new future trends” of domains. they are looking for strong current trend domains that are dropping daily… still. Why? Because they make money NOW for those domains, and they have this system locked in.
I’ve looked on most of the domain auction sites for FT domains and nothing for sale there compares to what I already own.
I appreciate your reponse, and would be happy to continue this conversation with you.
You are right about a “rush to buy anything with an adjective being promoted”, such as “3D”, but those are the actions of unprepared and uneducated domain investors. (This is why I make a lot of money as a domain consultant).
I don’t care if they buy tons of crap. I warn them not to, I warn everyone to take their time and think hard on how a domain name will manifest itself as a revenue generator. However, you’ve probably already figured out that domain buying for noobies is like playing the quarter slots in Vegas.
Shame abounds!
Update
Google Announced today that YouTube, 3D is coming within the next year:
http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/07/14/sony-youtube-3d-coming-within-a-year/
here’s a clever end user… http://ddd.com
Pretty cool (DDD)
I actually went (REAL) outside the box on ONE of these kinds of names… (not as good as DDD though) … biggest downside would be that it would be totally and completely driven by marketing (not be search) but i thought a very cool way to stand out from the crowd (if you had the money to market it)
using IIID as ‘3D’
something like ‘IIID Movie’ (not mine – still available BTW)
may sound ridiculous at the moment and understood (i only have ONE :)), but given some time and with the 3d market getting much more cluttered, it could become a little more appealing… until then, i can’t argue with anyone laughing about it.
🙂
Here’s what I don’t get….
I wear glasses, and the correction is different for each eye. That’s not at all unusual. So anyone who wears glasses is either going to watch a fuzzy 3d image, defeating the idea of HDTV to begin with, or “relax” by wearing two pairs of glasses. Ummmm…. No thanks.
Obviously, you have to buy an undetermined number of these things to match your anticipated maximum number of viewers, and in different sizes for kids and adults (and the ones the kids will break). And, yes, there is parallax barrier technology, but then you can forget about viewing angle.
It just strikes me that 3dtv is great for single childless gadget freaks with 20/20 vision (i.e. young), but the mass market potential is just not there.
3d has always been “the next best thing” for movies, through several generations since the 1950’s, but even with each “latest and greatest” 3d cinema technology, it hasn’t been worth a handful of titles every now and then (and the polarization technique has been around for long, long time). So it’s not as if even “good” film 3d has a track record of being commercially worthwhile.
And, oh yes, keep your head pointed straight and level at the screen, since any 3d tv technology has to be only laterally binocular. Throw away your tv watching couch and register 3dtvNeckStrain.com, because that will be the next-next big thing.
IMHO.
I have to agree with John that registering all kind of 3d names is useless, don’t forget that if it catches on, everything will be on 3d. Do you search for “Color TVs” now on Google?
P.S:
This “Stephen Douglas_Successclick.com” needs to chill out and not monopolize the entire thread by trying to tell us who he is and who he supposedly knows.
I say have a 3d only domain auction and see where the chips fall.
We are seeing more and more major companys getting involved with 3d like
panasonic
sharp
lg
sony
hollywood and major directors
samsung
nokia
nvidia
Fujifilm
HDI
Holografika (hungary)
SeeFront (germany)
Sensio (canada)
Zalman Tech (korea)
Dassault Systèmes
Dolby Laboratories
ok this is just a list from the top of my head if i was to really think hard then we could have 100 times more here,
technology is moving fast concerning 3d so much so that even though i know more than the average person its hard to keep up on all of it lets look at how its being developed away from 3dtv and movies.
have you ever considered the possibility of 3d being used in the nuclear field ?
no well thats exactly whats happening.
Fusion power technology is mankind’s biggest engineering challenge. Leading scientists, engineers and planners are working towards the solution significantly aided by the availability of 3D model based data held within a single software environment.
well you have probably heard of 3d baby scans but what else in the medical world has seen new horizons due to 3d
how about a new prosthetic leg using 3d technology
just a few examples but its not just 3dtvs look beyond this people its a whole new revolution using this its crossed into so many different places that i guarentee within 5 years every single perosn will in one way or another will come into contact with 3d and i dont mean a 3dtv
Its been good up to now that people just couldnt see past a 3dtv its left the door open on some really nice domains that me and a few others in the field have snapped up,i myself cant wait untill we see 3d mobiles hit the marketplace next year
yes 3d mobiles you dont need glasses with
just a 3d fad ?
erm not quite
oh and i forgot 3dtvs will always be switchable between 2d and 3d hence 3d will never be dropped from being in the name you will either watch in 2d or 3d.
I let CheapHDTVs.com drop because it was not worth the $7 to renew it and that is the case with almost all the useless non-brandable 3D domains suggested on this thread.
Just because the 3D technology is cutting edge and fun and visual (and will further the adult entertainment experience), this has nothing to do with branding 3D domains.
All said, it makes me feel good about hanging on to Orgasmatrons.com over the years.
Improved Orgasmatrons, with 3D and a Holodeck – and I will never have to leave the house again !!!
Brian
@ brianwick
oh boy look beyond your tv and your little 3d movies
3d is not all tvs
glad to see though that people like you continue to drop names not saying i want yours i dont hd domains were never that great just a fad you obviously missed the boat when to sell
have you seen wikipedia in 3d yet ?
so n normal adult movie is just that “an adult movie” so wait how do we distinguish between the two ?
wait i know
“3d adult movie”
sorry but thats the way it is 2d and 3d must be distinguished between
seriously you slate others and you regged Orgasmatrons.com ?
anyway i hope this helps in making more domainers drop names 🙂
i dont mind dropping a few names tbh all my 3d domains have made my reg fee back so right now i am sitting collecting for each renewel if needed which i will be able to do at least 2 years on each meaning i have lost nothing also the 3d domains have paid for all my other renewels not bad if you ask me.Scoff at em all you want but searches rising clicks rising offers rising,sales rising all point to one thing
MONEY IN THE BANK
no matter what way you look at it
not saying every 3d domain is gold there is some bad ones out there and i am not shouting i am going to be a millionaire or anywhere close this is more a hobby for me.
hook up “3d” in google alerts and see what comes through you might get a shock at just how broad this is forget 3d movies and 3dtv seriously thats not even close to the money unless you have 3dtv.com etc
@3DMovies
Sorry for your obvious sophomoric frustration friend
The Realist
not me my friend i am happy in life and happy with what i do 🙂
no frustation here free domains all round whether they crash and burn or not really does not matter to me i dont lose any cash or sleep for that matter
RealD (NYSE RLD) – a 3D Movie maker and 3D technology distributor – went public today.
I suppose everybosy should start reserving more of the DDD type domains now.
What’s the best place to sell my 3d names?
@ brianwick, can’t believe you let CheapHDTVs .com drop!
I don’t think anyone will search for 3D because it will be the standard and expected.
People don’t shop for cellphones or smartphones, they search by brands based on the heavy influence advertising.
You don’t search for a phone with voice mail and caller id because it’s expected.
You don’t search for a 3G phone or a 160 GB hard drive. You get to the hard drives and make the choices there. You get a mailer from Verizon telling you why you should switch from ATT.
I think people will go to best buy or amazon and hit the television tab.
3D technology probably has a bright future… The top 0.01% of 3D domain names may, too….
The vast, vast, vast, vast majority of people who are invested in 3d domain names (99.99% of which are unsalable, hardly usable garbage) are simply dying death by 1000 godaddy cuts.
@Oh-Frag
You are assuming that EVERY telecommunication service and display will be “3D”, which is clearly not the case, and will never be. 3D won’t consume every entertainment venue, but it will remain a specific “choice” for the consumer/business. I understand what you’re saying when a domain name can’t have an adjective that describes a “new tech” that quickly becomes “standard”. It’s kind of like buying domains using “betamax” or “vhs” — when VHS obviously captured the market quickly and removed both the need for “betamax” and “vhs” distinctions in domain relevance.
That’s not going to happen in 3D/Hologram technology. It still has a decade to figure itself out, and I think that there will be so many different visual variations available, that keeping the distinctive adjectives to define 3D, 4D, Hologram/Holographic will be important in prodservs online.
I’ve stated this several times before in the last week when this same argument came up. For example, would you buy a domain name that had the adjective “HD” in front of it? Or use the term “high definition” in a domain? You could, but we all now this “descriptive phrase” will be mainstream for all visual technology within a year or two. There won’t be a need for any terms branding prodservs “HD” because all tech visuals will already be understood to be “HD”.
Good points for domainers to consider when buying ANY new tech domain.
We have about 80 3d.coms and 3d domains , Our best
3Dmobilenetwork.com
3dglobalnetwork.com
3dVirtualnetwork.com
plasticsurgery3d.com
makeover3d.com
tires3d.com
wheels3d.com
anytime3dtv.com
free3dmeeting.com
international3dtv.com
eyes3d.com
You get the picture, I just noticed that Adobe will be releasing it’s next software package in 3D and that means 3D websites soon to follow, 3D domains will sell for high prices within the next 24 months. So don’t under sell.
@DMPartners
Contact me for the 3d seller’s list.
thx
Owen
.. i never understood this logic (you’re not alone)… according to your thought process there is no need for any other domains except for maybe the Fortune 500 companies…
do you completely discount ‘search’?
MILLIONS of people ‘search’ for their desired product/service on the web – in DROVES they search – and it leads them XYZ website(s).
… i’m not trying to be rude, but do you still not really grasp the POWER of the internet, let alone ‘3d domain names’?
I only own one 3d name – it is now a little over 10 years old … 3DWealth.com 🙂
Well i have some GOOD NEWS for you EVIE
Verizon FiOS TV Launches ‘WealthTV’ in 3D On Demand
http://www.satellitetv-news.com/verizon-fios-tv-launches-wealthtv-in-3d-on-demand/
Good Luck To Ya 🙂
We added 4 new 3d domains just today
vodka3d.com
gin3d.com
martini3d.com
free3dparking.com
Stunned they were available
“Stunned they were available”
Stunned you wasted your money. I personally like 5d Vodka mixed with 2d soda and 4d twist of lemon.
Einstein
You are completely wrong
Lime, not lemon with the Vodka and Soda & although more fattening Tonic is better.
@DMPartners,
Why not add:
3dBooze.com
Booze3D.com
– Booze for those in Denial, Drunk or just plain wanting to go in Debt
Good luck – but what is the market for Gin3d.com – maybe a 3d glass of Gin ?
I have TV3D.com 🙂
Any thoughts on these?
3DADULTTV.COM
COPAMUNDIAL3D.COM (world cup in Spanish)
3DSPORTSONLINE.COM
CONCERTO3D.COM
FUTBOL3-D.COM (soccer in Spanish)
LIVECAST3D.COM
PUBLICIDADE3D.COM (advertising in Portuguese)
WORLDCUPSOCCER3-D.COM
Also have a hand reg’d a few 3D(movie genre).com;
3DDRAMAS.COM
3DCLASSICMOVIES.COM
3DFAMILYMOVIES.COM
3DWESTERNMOVIES.COM
….
and a few more…
Ze
Worldcup I believe is trademarked
Boy do you guys think small. 3D websites will be display sites. You will be able to try on pants soon on the new 3d internet, All the words we put in front of 3D.com are brandable words. Anything brandable 3d.coms will sell for big bucks as the 2d websites phase out.
*
I have just a few, but my favorite is 3dOnTheGo.com.
I predict that in the very near future, mobile users will be able to project 3D images from their mobile phones.
I’m not a big 3d investor, though, and none of my domains are category killers.

@MHB, welcome to your new most popular post of all time 🙂 i’ll bet you this post has not even reached the halfway point of comments
@Owen,
“I think people will go to best buy or amazon and hit the television tab.”
that seems to imply you dont support Rob’s (Monster) theory of ‘federating’ the web. I expect you will raise the issue in your upcoming power lunch, and I look forward to hearing the debate.
cf. the recent interview on Sullys Blog – http://sullysblog.com/Monsters-View-of-the-Internet
(quoting) “Mike: I have seen some of the Epik portal sites. What is the concept supporting these?
Rob: What we are essentially talking about here is federating or distributing Amazon. ….. You can federate the web and have different types of information on different domains as opposed to having everything residing in one massive repository. ” (end quote)
@Ms Domainer,
You’re absolutely correct. They already beta tested an add-on module for cellphones/cameras to convert their photos to 3D, both shooting and displayment. Those who think 3D items are just a flash in the pan, they’re going to be surprised.
Good call.
3D “items” are NOT a flash in the pan…only 99.99% of the 3D domains that are being reserved are a flash in the pan – as someone boldly came forward with earlier.
How about this:
for every 3D variant domain reserved, please buy 1 share of Verisign stock – i.e. if you are going to rot your intestines a greasy big mac or whopper – you might as well buy stock in the company that is laughing all the way to your grave.
@MHB,
another one I’ll let drop…
One thing I’m sure of is that in the very near future 3D will be huge online and in the gaming industry not just TV. I’m betting on that..
Ze
I would tend to agree with you
Please note that I’m not saying anything is “3D” applicable as an adjective resolving prodservs. As a matter of fact, 3D is only the gateway to the more technologically difficult but endgame for 3d… it’s called “HOLOGRAM”. Or “HOLOGRAPHIC”.
I only own about thirty 3D domains, but they’re workable, viable domains, as Em-Bee pointed out here in his article for one of them.
I don’t understand what a “3Dvodka.com” could be. I’ll take my Popov for real, (can you tell my good taste?) heh
Stephen
3DVodka will shortly be outdated by 4DVodka.
If anyone is interested 3gvodka.com and 4gvodka.com are available
as far as i can see where people are going wrong is concentrating on 3dtv and stating
“oh well it will become the standard thing and the 3d part will be dropped”
erm not so maybe tvs will eventually go that way where the tv auto switches to 3d when you insert a 3d dvd etc but at the end of the day not all movies and programmes you watch will be in 3d tvs will always have 2d so dropping 3d from them will take years if it happens at all.
other advancements ie
games
babyscans
movies
things like this also will never drop off the 3d i cant be bothered really making a mass list but you get the idea here many technology breakthroughs are being made with 3d which without having the term “3D” would not descibe it so how can it be dropped off .
the internet is going 3d have you seen the 3d wikipedia experiment made a while ago ?
still not heard wether they got the backing of w3c on this but lets hope they do it would be a great boost for the internet
As time goes on and we all sit and argue the advancements are being made
i have several 3dhtml and 3dxml names tucked away from a long time ago specially for this whether they make it or not who knows but thats what i do i speculate and every so often it pays off with a nice big sale
@ Stephen Douglas
are you planning something if so let me know 🙂
i could have something thats very beneficial to you
i have 3dcinema.biz
thought anyone
i know its .biz but still a good name i think
Should we all band together and start the .3d tld since it is such a powerhouse of domain value?
Just kidding. But good luck to anyone that actually tries.
@Another One
You’re asking me, the strategic/tactical monster of domaining if I’m “planning something”? lol
Every day my friend. My plans can take years to come to fruition, but just the fact that my buddy Em-Bee wrote this article, and has received this many comments shows you the interest in the area of “future trends”. Amazing, huh!
Email me if you want to be included in my “plans”. I’d like to hear your ideas, confidential of course!
@JP
dude, go get 3D surfing something… (you’ll be surprised at how many of the terms you’ll look for are already taken). As a surfer, you have some other ‘inside” terms the domainers won’t (or haven’t nabbed yet). The fact there are so many “3D surfing” niche domains already purchased only pushes your own picks further into mainstream. yes?
Catch a little head dip for me, would you?
I like all of the controversy, concerning 3D. We have the believers on one side, and the nay-sayers on the other side. The development for 3D products is hugh! Just about anything electronic, with a screen, will be using 3D…! This is just the beginning, for a monumental opportunity. You can wait and watch, or be a leader, in this new-born industry. I will be up-front, with the trend. How about you…? P.S. And, don’t forget about 3D’s new best friend, 4G!
Will somebody here explain the “reality” of “4D”? The Fourth Dimension? Really? Is this the “TWILIGHT ZONE”?
There’s nothing commercially viable about 4D, and I’m sure you’re not going to see anything advertised using this adjective. I could be wrong… nothing surprises me nowadays. (GW Bush did NOT create our financial situation in his 8 years of office!!! It was Clinton’s fault!)
Yeah… but I’d like to see some commercial usage of “4D”.
anyone?
Just so everyone gets it right I did not buy 3dvodka.com I bought vodka3d.com
Huge difference. 3DVodka makes 0 sense but the other way around is a 3D display website with Vodka as the product being sold. Its huge, Im glad nobody saw it.
DM
VODKAIN3D.COM is still avaliable
so is idiotin3D.com perfect for ya Big D
regarding someone’s comment relating to 3d gaming domains…
– when the consumer demands his casio/card game be in a 3D presentation – 3D casinos just become casinos again with those 3d expectations – otherwise the user just goes away.
Repeating myself – since all consumers expect HD in their TV – it just becomes TVs again – not HDTVs – and that is why I dropped CheapHDTVs.com – not even worth $7 a year.
@ brianwick, You’re smart, and the fact you registered cheaphdtvs in the first place shows it. Far be it from anyone to dispute your right to drop a domain for whatever reason. If CheapHDTVs made you angry, maybe you are better off without it. Trademark, gambling, cuss, religious domains I avoid, no matter how high the value.
CheapHDTVs still gets exact searches of some 2400/month, and a CPC of $3.27. It even appraises at $7200.00 on Estibot. So you made a savvy domainer/registrar happy by dropping that thing, is all I’m saying. You have better names than that, more power to you!
Would you send me a list of domains you plan on letting drop? I might take them off your hands for a profit!
– L 🙂
@Louise
Good for you on making cheaphdtvs.com work for you – personally, I have trimmed things to where I want to be about 7K domains – so you win that is great.
FYI – sometimes it is better to leave a bit of money on the table and focus on what we try to be good at – rather than chasing the next whim – in this case hd, 3d, 4d, 5d, holodecks, whatever – too much brain damage for me.
PPC is a temporary way to pay the bills – but no where close to the reason I got into the business starting my 13th calendar year in January. Building turnkey business around a pure generic is where all the money is at !!
Best of luck friend.
@Stephen Douglas
a few 3D surfing domains I own and can’t wait to start developing ( just waiting to tech to catch up with my ideas…)
– 3dsurfmovies.com
– 3dsurfmagazine.com
– 3dsurfpictures.com
If you surf too, you know it’s going to be huge in the industry..! See you in the lineup! in 3D!!
@Stephen Douglas – RE: 4d
I actually have 4dMovieTheaters.com …
.. which have been around for a while (albeit only at major amusement parks) but have recently started to hit the mainstream in the obviously much more advanced countries like Korea.
4d Movie Theaters are the ones where your seat moves with the action, and mist will spray you in a rain scene, or smoke will blow before you in an explosion scene – you get to experience the ‘smell’ of the BLAST… or suddenly you will feel heat from that explosion… fun little ‘experiences’ like that is what a 4d Movie Theater is… i thought this would translate very big here in the States, if not for adults, then for one of the main vehicles that drives product demand and marketing – the TEENAGERS.

Vodka3d …
… look.. i’m a pretty big believer in 3d and the effect it will have on the web… but 3d is ‘basically’ a VISUAL EXPERIENCE – whether it be via touch or gesture or any other form of ‘interaction’ it’s astonishing because what you ‘SEE’
… some ‘senses’ just don’t seem to translate well for the 3D realm… ‘smell’ and ‘taste’ being, probably, the two worst senses to benefit from 3d or a 3d web.
… although it has been posted that 3dBakery sold for $1k…
I absolutely wish you luck with it though.
– – – – – – –
Marketing….
… as Stephen Douglas had mentioned above… ‘3d’ is the ball breaking the brick for AR and HG… i know these are RISING industries that have set their sites on our future and are an inevitable outcome waiting to happen… ‘3D’ (Three Dimensional), whether sterescopic or cad or holo… i’m betting ‘3D’ will “most likely” be the main calling of these industries.
Take something like ‘3d Trading Cards’ (NO – this is not Lenticular 3d)… Topps puts these out … started last year… it’s really Augmented Reality – VERY cool – makes me wish i was a kid collecting these all over again – but they’re being called ‘3d’ trading cards… ‘augmented reality’ gets a nice supporting nod somewhere in the description but the calling for this has been ‘3d’.
– – – – –
In closing… a 5 month old Backorder finally hit my account this weekend – extremely excited about this potential killer name (Thank You GoDaddy!)

– 3dsurfmovies.com

– 3dsurfpictures.com
Total winners. Minimum value in 2 years – $5,000 each, and that’s going to be adjustable of course. I wish I owned those babies, but no, I’m not buying at retail, ZE. lol Hold on to them. Those domains will be the gravy on the elk steak of those who love surfing and can actually SEE it 3D, and those providing this ability will WANT to own these domains.
@ 3D Domains,
John, as long as the 3D domains represent an applicable use as prodservs that is easily understood and “semantically” connected to those prodservs, then you’re on the right track. 3Dinteraction.com is an “EW” domain (Either Way). If people will be able to interact with 3d, then you’re king. If not, or the visual name changes (as in “hologram”) you might have a confusion there.
As for “4D”, that’s always going to be relegated to amusement parks, but will quickly be replaced by the correct definition of experiencing the “full display/senses”.
To everyone: VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
There’s a common misunderstanding about “3D” prodservs. If you took the name “3D” literally, it would describe a “globe” image. It would be like something you could hold in your hand, or such as a model of earth hovering in the air, and you can spin the 3D globe, or actually just walk around it and see the different sides of the globe.
However, the term “3D” for advertising/prodserv purposes is a big marketing/advertising “distortion of meaning” to use in order to sell the products easier. The 3D you see becoming commonplace even today, such as the movie “AVATAR in 3D” is actually only a set of “images in depth perspection”. In other words, you will see images “pushed” at you at different levels of perception in depth. But if you got up, and stood to the side, nothing would change as far as linear viewing of a complete image, such as that “globe”.
Since that “3D Globe” is a perfect example of what 3D “really” is, but manufacturers can’t yet create that effect without pushing the consumer/business cost into the five figures, what the term “3D” has become is just a layered “2D” perspective. That’s still exciting for everyone, and a big technological advancement for visual entertainment. But in reality, the term 3D is being misused in marketing/advertising of the prodservs.
This is probably a result of not having another short “term” to describe this “layered perspective” technology. It’s not really “3D”.
What is the term now for REAL 3D? It’s called two different words/terms: HOLOGRAM, HOLOGRAPH, HOLOGRAHIC
Those last three words are the “super tech” adjectives for the future of visual entertainment at all levels. Some people still call it “Virtual Reality”. That’s a correct term for those three “holo” words above.
3D technology and prodservs will be sorting itself out in the next decade, so don’t worry about buying domains in these adjectives. They aren’t like commonplace acronyms, such as smart domainer Brian Wick is talking about. You have to see a technological advance as a “bust out and done” feature, or as a “this term will take some time to figure out and divide between old and new”.
In Brian Wick’s example of “HD”, that term caught on quick, so HD was accepted by everyone within 3 years. In fact, it was a necessity for broadcasters. So the urgency and major availability of the HD technology rendered any domain using that term in the “going out of style based on common standards”. Brian is right on that understanding.
Ultimately, if you’re going to be a Future Trend domainer, you have to use many parts of your brain to choose which domains won’t fall into the Brian Wick category, which will have a future of “old and new” separation of prodservs, and how strong the new technology will be.
I’ve given a lot of huge hints here. I should have just posted this response on my blog, but Em-Bee has been good to me, even though I’ve never shared a double Lagavulin Islay with him… (can’t wait – maybe at DF 2011), so I’ll give him my expertise here and the content.
Thanks Em-Bee!
Oh — and to DMpartners… don’t be mean to Em-Bee. He can buy California if he wants.
NOTE: I have to thank Em-Bee for being fair to me again. He listed one of my domains, and I received email notices of posts (that never made it to this comment section) that attacked me for “talking so much about 3D domains”.
And another post attacking me for showing a few 3D domains I owned as examples of the types of 3D domains to purchase.
I’m not sure, but I don’t think any other domainer has as much knowledge, other than John at 3D domains, regarding 3D technology.
But I was set to answer these negative and unfair comments I saw in my inbox, but when I came here, they weren’t posted. Thx Em-bee. You’re a scholar and a gentleman!
@Stephen Douglas
The best part of it is that the last 2 I reg’d just yesterday after reading your post on 3D surf domains.. as a surfer and web designer I’m stoked to be a part of this movement. Also reg’d today:
– 3Dsurfcam.com – I can see it already… looking at the surf as if you were there…
…and made sure to register the reverse order too… will users search using the 3D at the end or in the front..? These are universal terms in the surf industry but depending on the language of origin, the “3D” comes either in the front or in the end to make sense in that language… I think this will also play a role in motivating a potential buyer to get both versions of a generic term… it’s worth the 7 bucks risk for each…
@ ZE
That should work — I prefer 3d as a prefix, but for branding, I think front/back are both acceptable in correct grammatical positioning.
I agree that branding gets the name first, We just hit xxxtv3d.com
It’s there because most did not see 3d.coms. We did and picked up a great batch because of it. I know xxx has been hit hard but at least we got one this late in the game.
3DMOBILEZ.COM – aswell
Hey everybody .. just curious to hear and see if anybody jumped on any 3d names with the new dot co extension.
Would love to see a few.
VERY good sign that SO many of them have already been grabbed (surprisingly so).
3d.co is 10 years away. 3d.com has to run it’s course before a typo extension will work IMO.
Hi Stephan! We have come a long way forward, from the Grandma Moses effect of 2D….but, her art work commands millions $$! You made mention of the term, 4D, and that generated some testimony. It is 3 to 5 years away, development-wise, and even longer for marketing. Think in the term of 4D, 4G, 4K…Flowing, but slow growing from my development is..Quantum synchronization, infinite periphery, quasi-view, binary arcing, and more confusing terms for the masse’s. But, all in all, some years away for 4D, but on it’s way. And, no, there won’t be strange odors coming from your hand-held, Ha- Ha! It’s kinda like trying to run lightning thru a flashlight. The marketing gurus like to use the term 4D, fully knowing that the public accepts the term, at face value. Have a great day, Jerry P.S. There is engineering talk of 6G, and I just shake the marbles in my head…Geez!
I managed to bag alot of 3d domains before the party started, see my list below, and comments would be great.

Hhhmmm interesting reading all the comments on 3D names. I suppose should things take off as well as everyone thinks I may be a fool for offerong 3DLaptop.com for $45k obo.
There seems to be a lot of “willing” to good fortune going on.
Good God Almightly
@Josh
3DLaptop.com?
I’d sit on that for about 2 years, or, if somebody with corporate vision knew how to capture that coming market, gave you your $45k right now. Price seems right, but will double in a year.
I think what’s not being understood here is that I’ve personally spent five years, almost every night, for hours, researching new technology and how they connect with branding or generic descriptive domains. 3D isn’t going to be a “done deal” by any means, and will NOT become standard (using the argument that descriptive niche domains lose their value once the “niche” becomes “mainstream”.
As I stated back in 2006, Future Trend domains will be the new Gold Rush on domains within 10 years (although I stick with .com and .orgs).
Yes, 3DLaptop.com, thank you for your advice, 2 years eh, not bad.

I told you there is no such thing as a 3D Player LOL
All the best Froy
Moving from “.com” to “.co” or any other non.com is like moving oceans and creating new beachfront property – and how much money has been invested with the existing beachfront property?
Some of you will remember as .cc (an easy abbreviation) gained a certain degree of acceptance years back – that acceptance created confusion with the consumer and corporate America. That limited success ultimately became its recipe for failure and sent .cc to the vast wasteland of worthless, useless non-brandable non.com’s.
As Emma says – and has been said countless time .co is just a typo ultimately – but if some of you can make a quick buck prey on the utterly naive – go for it.
Thats the not the word around town Froy lol, nice to hear from you mate
My msn is gilescoley, keep in touch, would be good to chat sometime.
Giles
seen quite a few low 4 figure sales recently but still to see a really big one last one i know of was 3dtv.co.uk
i recently sold one .info 3d domian for $400
@3D Domains,
A .info domain for $400? That’s bad? On a domain that features prodservs that haven’t even come close to peaking in the consumer trend circle? What domain was it?
I’ve turned down offers for some of my 3D domains in mid to high four figures, because in a year or two, they’ll be mid to high five figures. Considering my continued investment in those domains is only $8 per on an annual basis… time is on my side. If not, maybe I’ll write to this company I heard of called “digipawn” where you can “pawn” your domains. 😉
Just added another 2 domains to my 3D list
3DSMARTPHONE.COM
3DCONSOLE.COM
Just grabbed one last night. mobile3dnetwork.com
We have all the mobile and global 3d network combination’s hoping for a big one there.
“If not, maybe I’ll write to this company I heard of called “digipawn” where you can “pawn” your domains. ”
lol there isnt enough lube.
Per the Lube comment,
I am very entertained by all this lube, greasing and over all self-gratification regarding 3D.
speaking of lube …
… just grabbed these (stole?)
• SexPorn3d.com
• PornSex3d.com
high search in the ‘non’ 3d version (not so much in the actual 3d at the moment)
Anybody think these are worth the gamble?… i’m not exactly an aficionado on the adult industry names, although i do have a handful of nice 3d porn/sex names stashed away 🙂
sexporn3d and pornsex3d
Why not the names say it all.
you cant ignore the adult market ever,so much money in the industry and always a market for it

@MrCurly
Total score on those
3DSMARTPHONE.COM
3DCONSOLE.COM
did you get them OOTB? I predict 3Dconsole.com will sell for five figures minimum by 2015 or sooner. congrats!
I paid
3DCONSOLE.COM – $700
3DSMARTPHONE.COM – $900
Via Afternic, I know these domains will do well, I do think the 3D SMARTPHONE one will be the biggest of the two, by the end of 2011, 50% of all phones sold will be Smartphones according to expert reports, by the end of 2011, 3D Smartphones will have hit the market and will be the next upgrade from the original Smartphone, 3D MOVIES, 3D GAMES, 3D CAMERA , 3D INTERNET AND 3D NAVIGATION, come on, who would’nt want that on a phone.
@MrCurly,
I don’t have you on my FT list (Future Trend domainers) unless I don’t know who you are – and I don’t. I’d like to have you on my list for this special group of domainers who understand tactics and using their heads/wallets to “invest” properly.
Can you contact me at my email address? You can get it from my website, or someone you know.
Yeah, when I am paid for appraisals, I ALWAYS give the minimum price to alert the owner not to sell below it. As we all know, there is no predictable “ceiling” or maximum on a domain value. I’ve provided appraisals at minimum values for five years now. I’ve never been wrong, and not far off from my “minimum” to the max selling price.
Nice prices for those two domains. I’d like to talk to you directly – can you find a way to contact me or me to contact you?
Good job on the domains. I hope someone will come back to this post where you revealed your price of purchase at the start of the 3D revolution, and how much value for the domain was built over the coming years.
cheers!
Hi Stephen Douglas, Ive sent you a email.
thanks
or contact me through – 3dsmartphone.com
The majority of Smartphones if not all are set up on “contract only” with a fixed monthly fee, developing countries use “Pay as you go” mobile phones, when Smartphones are both contract and pay as you go then I personnally think they will edge the market and be the “norm” when it comes to mobile technology.

Hey guys, this is an interesting discussion, 3D does seem to be taking off at the moment, I have picked up a few 3Ddomains this year, they prob will be hard to sell, but a few will hopefully be worth holding onto, any thoughts?

@Stuart
Me likey!
SCORE!!!!!!!
The day is coming, and those who don’t believe will know their failures… that makes me sad. heh heh
You could probably put me in the minority on this one… and YES – i definitely like your smartphone name (heck, wish i had it ! haha)… but does anyone say ‘smartphone’ anymore?
I’m located in the states, so maybe things are different elsewhere, and yes, you have the almighty dot-com, but the term ‘smartphone’ was used much heavier about 4- years ago and has since been referenced to just ‘mobile phone’ .. it’s basically ‘assumed’ now that your mobile phone or cellphone IS a ‘smartphone’ being as it does everything it does.
I checked Google insights, and it shows me that i am indeed wrong, with the Phillipines leading the charge in ‘smartphone’ verbiage… but if you are considering holding this name for an extended period of time (as you have already suggested), don’t you think this term will become as obsolete as ‘records’ or ‘netbooks’?
This will become integral to anyone looking to drop big money on a ‘long term’ investment, and me, personally, i think this would be your biggest hurdle.
I’m not trying to sour your investment – it’s a GREAT NAME, please don’t think i am trying to diminish your name… but i would consider this very strongly for the long term as this MIGHT have a very short shelf life.
I DO believe you will make a significant ROI, but please be careful not to overplay your hand with this one.
.. my opinion ONLY, of course.
… with that said… ‘count me in’…
hahah

everyone i know says “i got a new mobile” nobody really uses the word smartphone much and tbh this has always been the case i cant really see everyone changing to smartphone from moby,mobi or mobile anytime in the future but that does not take away its still a very good name to have and yes i am the same wish i did have it 🙂

I continue to see these 3d domains popping up everywhere but I cannot find what they are attached to.
Is there expected to be a 3d internet launch? If so when is that expected to drop?
Just a price report ( kind of ) had a $25k offer on 3dlaptop.com and passed :0
There is only 1 3D mobile site and it’s http://www.3Dmobilenetwork.com
Verizion AT&T Sprint Virgin Mobile who is gonna get there first.
Hi Forum, following this tread and seeing the comment from Josh that 3dlaptop has been valued at 25k, this is amazing, it makes me think my domains may actually be worth something, please see posting above, do you guys think these domains are worth developing sites on? bit of a newbie to the domain game and not on any forums so haven’t had any feedback, so any advice would be appreciated, ta
…it’s funny… i have so many of these 3d names i forget what i even have… 🙂
…and then with all the ‘laptop’ talk’ i realized that i was able to hand reg:
LAPTOP3D.co.uk
I understand it’s not as great as your beauty Josh, but what do you all think of this one?
*** PSSST… Hey DM Partners…
… you’re certainly not gonna gain any brownie points from VERIZON with a typo – (Verizion)
🙂
@MHB
.. in your original post, you mention the following name as one the ‘Great’ Names in ‘3d’:
3-DGLASSES.COM
… am i to assume by your post then, that you believe that “3-D” (Three DASH D”
is within the realm of greatness for 3d domain names?
I know the ‘proper’ dictionary term is exactly that ‘3-d’, and everywhere you look and read, it is referred the same ‘3-d’ (this is probably more proper editorial than anything)
… some might say that ‘3d-Glasses’ would be a better way to go (dash separating the two words)
… up and down the internet you will probably get a different response to this question, but being as you yourself have included this in your list of ‘Great 3d Domain Names’, are you condoning ‘3-D’ as a viable option for the other 3d domainers who visit this site?
thanks 🙂
3D
Not sure exactly what you mean by:
“are you condoning ’3-D’ as a viable option for the other 3d domainers who visit this site?”
I don’t think 3-d domains are as good as 3d domains, its still have is a hyphenated domain especially when combined with other words like 3dmovies, I like it better than 3-dmovies but its still worth having
i agree with what you are saying at the moment, and i have a couple of ‘3-d’ names myself for the exact same reason you mention “but its still worth having”
… but i don’t think i would have ever included that in my own personal list of ‘Best 3d Domain Names’.
By you actually posting a hyphenated ‘3-d’ name like that gives me hope for a few of my other ‘just to have’ names (eg.. 3-DMobile.net)
3D
Personally I’m not in love with .Net’s at this point with 500 new extensions coming
i have fallen out of love with dot net a bit myself, i was just using it for an example.. (but i do also have 3-dLaptop.net 🙂
.. and one that gets a lot of views, both on my site and the who.is… is 3-DTVOnline.com…
… now while i really like the name itself, but boy, do i sure wish it didn’t have that dash
… and yes, probably a bit too long to include a dash but it could hold some potential.
Anyway.. thanks 🙂

Thanks for the heads up on the typo.
All the best

“Personally I’m not in love with .Net’s at this point with 500 new extensions coming

@MHB
500 new extensions? That sounds like fun, would you care to share what you mean by 500 new extensions? **I understand that there will be 500 more extensions coming out, but when and what type of extensions**.
Anything of interest?
Cheers and thanks for the information.
I walked into a well known mobile phone shop here in the UK yesterday and they had 3 sections to the shop, “Contract Phones” , “Pay As You Go” and “Smartphones” . The word “Smartphone” here in the UK is a big deal right now, Ive sean and heard Tv and Radio adverts advertising “Smartphones” , I do think with new technology comes new names and I know the word “smartphone” has been around for ages but so has the word “3D” and look what kind of an impact that is making at the min. The press release by Sharp yesterday chose to use the word “Smartphone” and not “Mobi” or “Mobile” , which makes me think this is the correct word to have in the domain section. The thing is, if all the advertisement and press releases are using the word “Smartphone” then who would go and type in a search engine “3D Mobi” ? The future for me is the “Smartphone”, wonder how much Smartphone.com is worth?
seen*
Just one more thing whilst im on a rant, I do think the words “Mobile Phone” will be used in future by mum and dad who want a phone for texting and making calls, the kids want a “Smartphone” for going on the internet, playing games, watching movies etc…. Just my opinion! 🙂
@ Slate,
I started the 3D “research” on domains in 2005, then spoke of “future trend” domains with Monte Cahn on DomainMaster Radio a year later.
What you can do to see what’s happening with “3D” trends is to simply “google alert” your email, so everytime a story is written on 3D, you’ll get a copy of the article in your email everyday. I get from 10 – 25 articles on 3D daily. Obviously the trend is here.
And judging by the amount of interest by at least five domainers on EmBee’s blog article, looks like the excitement is still going strong. My warning:
Stick with .com’s, don’t start going crazy, analyze and research your purchases before buying.
I’ll be preparing an exclusive Future Trend domain auction with one of the top domain auction sites in the next 60 days. If you’re into FT domaining, contact me.
Stephen,
My only concern with a “Future Trend domain auction” is how people are going to place a value on the domain and who will risk paying a lot for a future domain that might be big? Everyday will all buy domains that we think might be big in the future but if they are sold early the seller will only get 1/10 of what the future price could be?. Am i wrong?
Curly,
Welcome to the world of domain investing. What made anyone think buying coastal property on California Native American land called “Santa Barbara”, would be valuable. Selling at a profit is the game, never look back at how that domain’s value grows after you’ve sold it. Sell at profit, be happy.
Can reserve prices be placed?
“And judging by the amount of interest by at least five domainers on EmBee’s blog article, looks like the excitement is still going strong.”
Anyone got a link to this article? I had a quick look and couldn’t find it?
or is that referring to this article??
Just seen this quote
“As Ross Miller of Engadget notes, Sharp’s upcoming phone can be expected to compete against at least two other 3D-enabled smartphones slated to hit the market sometime in 2010-2011”
Seems everyone is jumping on the 3D Smartphone bandwagon! 🙂
and not the “mobi” wagon!!

I’m of course referring to the new gTLD’s.
If you have not been following this, I suggest you use the search feature on the top right of the blog and type in gTLD and start reading some of the articles I have written on them.
500 is just an estimate of the number of expected applications in the first round and should be live in mid to late 2012.
This is ICANN estimate.
The time for application isn’t opened and won’t be until next year.
Some of the extensions that people will be applying for include.
.NYC, .Africa, .Irish, .Music, .Gay, .paris, .berlin, just to name a few
@mr curly
i would rather have any mobile or phone name than smartphone
why ?
because thats what the comsumers know not smartphones
ten years time they still wont be called smartphones on the street by joe public
look at your quote 🙂
“Sharp’s upcoming phone”
what sounds better
mobile3d
3dmobile
3dmoby
3dmobi
3dphone
or
3dsmartphone
iphone would look rather naff called the ismartphone dont you think
smartphone is only used as a descriptive word by companies to promote its not a word that consumers actually use in the uk,usa or anywhere else
check google results on the list see where smartphones fall
not the place to get overboard on thats why you got this comment of reality
its like the .co thing really .co will never replace .com not in the near future if it had a chance of it then its 10+ years away same with smartphone
its a good name and will earn you something nice but calm down a bit 🙂
plenty of comments on here of bigger names but they dont go ahead and try to gloat
think marketing
“Sharp’s upcoming phone”
what sounds better
mobile3d
3dmobile
3dmoby
3dmobi
3dphone
3dmobilenetwork looks good to us.
MHB. I have taken your advice and have looked the post on the 500 extensions.
Thank you for that. The information was very helpful. I do have a question, well more like a comment. The correct term for “Three-dimensional” is “3-D” and not “3D”. It is hyphenated if written correctly. Merrian-Webster recognizes “3-D” but not “3D”. Just a quick Google result frequency for “3D” turns up about 403,000,000 results (0.44 seconds) and for “3-D” the searches are about 1,530,000,000 results (0.23 seconds) .
At the same time with Google Keyword tool, “3D” never appears by its self its always with a filler word like TV or Movie. While “3-D” does get searched on its own with only 60.5k global searches.
I know from a Domainers point of view hyphens bring down the value of a domain. Any conjunction of a word would bring down the value but if it is the correct way to spell the name (such as Blu-ray or 3-D, correctly spelled has a hyphen), would that still bring down the value of the domain?
Sorry for steering this off topic a bit.
Cheers
Again I think 3d or 3-d by itself is one thing but when part of a longer string I think people would type in 3dmovies more so than 3-dmovies.com
Just look at the Alexa and compete scores for those two sites.
But that’s just my opinion and I’m often wrong.
Just ask Berryhill
)):::
I don’t disagree with you. I was just wondering out loud really. I must be getting “OLD”. I still attempt (attempt being the key word) to spell things correctly. I fail all the time but that is besides the point.
I was only considering why the correct spelling of a word would make it less desirable. Have we gotten to a point in society that slang has become the dominating language?
Again, just thinking out loud.
MBH, thank you for your work. You always get my mind thinking and I appreciate that.
Cheers.
“Have we gotten to a point in society that slang has become the dominating language?”
not to steer off course, but one could probably argue that the ‘printing press’ was one of biggest inventions of all-time… this created ‘marketing…. which created business… money, money, money
the internet and domain names are really nothing more than a digital version of the printing press with the power to reach across oceans.
The target has always been and always will be the consumer.
With marketing, we (somewhat) have the power to manipulate the consumers idea of what is and what is not big, or popular, but in the end, it’s always going to be the consumer that dictates what will and won’t sell.
As i have pointed out earlier about “3-D” being the correct and proper usage of the phrase (this is because it is the combination of TWO WORDS – ‘Three Dimensional’), this will still be in the hands of the people who search (the consumer)… and by the looks of it, “3D” (no hyphen) seems to be king.
As for domains, the rules may need to change a little bit too (evolve) as numbers have always helped to ‘cheapen’ a name just a bit, not to mention the hyphen now entering the equation too.
This ‘3D’, ‘3-d’ game could get real tricky, but in the end, the people will let us know everything we need to know…
.. as for me, i focus on ‘3D’ (no dash) but will still grab a nice ‘3-d’ name if i feel strongly about the term (3-dPorn.co.uk).
Its just the way it is, people will not for the MOST part use a dash, in fact you have to than factor not using a dash and the following keyword s-dtelevision for example, its a LONG shot at traffic. Proper or not the hyphen is not the primary direct navigation choice.
IMO there are but 25+/- key 3d names ( more if you factor singular/plural), after that its a crap shoot.
spelling mistakes above..
ment to say ” you have to than factor USING a dash and the following keyword in combination, 3-dtelevision for example, its a LONG shot at traffic. Not saying it isnt worth anything just that there may only be 25 hyphens such as that which are.
So registering 3-d names is at this point an absolute waste. jmo
Nice, cosy community here, may I join ?

Which is the better of these 2 names
3-DMovies.com
3D-Movies.com
Can I have some opinions, thanks
Ok folks, is it time yet to start a 3D forum somewhere? Or Stepen u ready to open up a FTDForum.com (I wonder I’d FTD would appreciate that) or something. It’s calling to you, I can hear it.
Giles
3-DMovies.com
mmm, intersting, personally I prefer
3D-Movies.com
I dont like the “DMovies” bit, I think a lot of people would seperate them naturally between the 2 “words”..if you call “3D” a a word
Just my opinion though…..
some info for you all, some intereesting stuff on here
http://www.3d-forums.com/
http://3dradar.techradar.com/
But I agree, would be good to start a new one
I like 3D-Movies.com far better than 3-DMovies.com
I think 3D-Movies.com is better for branding and would be better for SEO as well.

Thanks,
Dan
Not bad I like genuine3d.com and 3dnudebeach also 3dable.com
FYI we own airforce3d.com
Do you think airforce is a TM issue?
3dlol is very appropriate. I’d like to thank those that have contributed to making me feel better about myself by posting their “portfolios” and giving me the occasional good chuckle. Keep ’em coming!
Oh, and 3dphone is better than the 3dsmartphone name that was being thrown around the other day, so grats. What’s the saying… “even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while”… yeah.. something like that.
And finally, yes, airforce/air force is a TM of about a dozen different companies for various products, but I’m sure you could find a use that’s non-infringing. Check uspto.gov
Just had a 8k offer on 3DSMARTPHONE.COM via Sedo
Nice
Do I get a commission?
myself i have concentrated on adult and mobile themed domains mainly as when i started most of the names i wanted were gone so i quickly found some areas that others were not looking at now i have some decent names not saying any are going to let me retire lol i wish but at least some may make me something back.
I only have around 50 or so .coms but in total i have around 200 names some were very bad choices which i now regret but i learn from mistakes and now know exactly what 3d domains will sell and what wont.
I have spent every day on this from around febuary time onwards constantly keeping in touch with every development in every type of industry affected and if you do the same it will blow your mind just how much 3d is going to eventually affect all our lifes in way or another.
Set up google alerts to start with and read what comes through,there is still time to bag a nice premium name from someone just looking for a quick turnaround but remember good things come to those who wait and if you plan to flip 3d domains now then you could be crying later this is not a fad you are seeing here 3d has started its own revolution and is gaining power with no signs of being overthrown.
@mrcurly
you certainly have picked up a great 3D domian 🙂 Are you now committed to selling 3DMARTPHONE.COM? or are you just testing to see its value? have you set a reserve price. I think I read that you where planning to develop this domain.
My news names, any comments?? As you can see…Im trying to cover all the new tech that is coming out…

3D-Laptop.com
3D-Laptops.com
3D-Mobiles.com

@Mike
Regarding 3DSMARTPHONE.COM, I will leave the domain up for sale Mike on Sedo, I just wanted a bit of reassurance with me paying $900 for it (a lot of money for me) and i certainly have it now, as for all the bad comments on this forum, it doesn’t bother me. If I receive a very nice offer via Sedo then i will sell, I also have a friend developing a blog site for me at the min, the plan is to push to Google Page 1 ASAP

I understand that ‘3d’ will be biggest by itself, combined with ‘whatever’ product name, website or service, but early on, i was able to grab a bunch of pretty strong ‘HD3D’ names and was curious what everybody thought of these.
‘HD3D’ seemed to be the primary marketing phrase of Panasonic’s line of 3d products and they looked as if they were positioning themselves for a head to head battle with Samsung for ‘King of 3d’.
To this day, if i see an ‘HD3D’ name, i tend to receive it as a premium name for said product (think Lexus vs. Toyota)
With that said, does anybody see any future in these HD3D NAMES:
• HD3dBluray.com
• HD3dCinema.com
• HD3dComputer.com
• HD3dDisplay.com
• HD3dGame.com

Thanks everybody.
@3ddomainnames
I like the hd3d names, think you will do well with those mate.
Ive just picked up another .co.uk domain to my 3d collection
3DCONSOLE.CO.UK – $75
now i have 3DCONSOLE.COM and 3DCONSOLE.CO.UK , has anybody else heard anything about this new Sega3D Console? link below
http://prestigegamerz.com/latest/news/latestnews/329-sega-to-compete-with-nextgen-consoles.html
So late in the game to be able to hand reg this one…
… but if ‘3-dGlasses’ is among your TOP 3d names
.. where does this beauty fall?
• 3-DWEB.com
🙂
@3ddomainnames
Very nice domain – 3-DWEB.COM , is that yours?
I LITERALLY just Hand Regged that about ten minutes ago
(Thank You BTW :))
I own V3d.com and several others
stands for Virtual 3d great neutral site for gaming and other 3d related business
@ Ivan,
I understood that domain immediately. SWEET! Value – $150,000. Brand, character length, recognition. Contact me for our future trend domainer list.
EM-BEE,
Have you ever received 245 responses on a post of yours before? Did I kickstart a trend or what? Thanks for the article. You’re now the “Father Of 3D Domain Success”. lol
Stephen
Nice discussion but I still don’t think a record, getting close though.
I’m old enough to be everyone’s father
EM-BEE,
Aww come on, you aren’t old. You’re time-tested and factory tested to maximum output! Plus, I think I’m older than you.. Based on your current pics, you look like Robert Wagner and I look like a fat George Carlin.
I’ll bet this thread will reach 250, that’s got to be a record. (1/10 of that would be a record on my blog).
Another great neutral domain 3D500.com
a fortune 500 3d portal.
“you look like Robert Wagner and I look like a fat George Carlin. ”
Arn’t both those guys dead?
Josh
nice that makes me feel much better
Thanks Stephen
lol, I was mistaken, Carlin is dead yes but Wagner is still going, its day to day of course but … youre welcome.
Thanks for that appraisal Stephen Douglas, you are the first domainer that did not try BS me.. also do you know of any good developers or high end auctions that I could partner with or sale the domain on? or do you think I would be better off direct marketing it to a large companies?

going to be quite an informative day wish i could attend
here is the link check it out

And the last and most significant two:
• ISPs can introduce new and different internet services, such as 3D.
• Wireless services are exempt from all these proposals, apart from the condition of transparency.
The New Immerse 3D Internet unavailing right before our eyes
Im looking to get rid of 2 3D Domains, Anybody know a good place to sell them?
Any ideas would be great
thanks
@3ddomains
Thanks for the link. Checking it out.
What do you guys think about this one:
3ddomainhosting.com
I saw it for sale recently (quite by accident) and didn’t think anything of it until I saw this posting about 3d names. Just out of curiosity I looked up the Google keyword stats (for domain hosting… since there is no real 3d terms out there) and they are pretty decent. I can see 3d domains needing special hosting requirements… But then again, I have been known to be dumb many times.
I just wanted to see what you guys think of the name as a whole. Would it be worth perusing if they are not asking an outrageous sum?
Good news for this domain…………..3DHANDSETS.COM
UPDATE
From Canada:
CBC Television made broadcasting history today with the first-ever Canadian 3D images on a national television network. The historic images were the first public test of CBC’s 3D technology, in preparation for the full airing of the documentary special Queen Elizabeth in 3D on Monday, Sept. 20.
This morning’s test showed Her Majesty reviewing the Canadian naval fleet in Halifax, as well as attending Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa and the Queen’s Plate in Toronto-all in 3D.

Hi Em-Bee!
How’s the record “comments” going for this blog? Looking good so far! 264! I’ll bet it reaches 300 before the end of the month.
I checked out this 3D summit Conference in LA website, and found this sweet lead-in for the domain of mine you mentioned in your article:
“Panel Session – The Drivers in Advertising: Advertising the Next Dimension: The Mad Men of 3D
After the buzz for 3D at the Cannes Lions this year, 3D advertising is in full swing. From the pioneers in the medium, hear what marketers, agencies and producers are doing to bring 3D to screens large and small. Why do I need my ad in 3D? We have the answers.”
Oh yeah? They have the answers? They will when they put my 3Dadvertising.com domain up for sale and get a commission on it. lol
Thanks for the link to the Canadian broadcast. You’re just feeding the fire here, bro! You should just put up a small page for “3D domain sales” and capture all the traffic you’re getting from anyone doing 3D research. I think the word “3D” has been mentioned over 2000 times in your article. As Dave Chappelle said in “Half-Baked” when ganja was delivered to his door:
“What a country!”
(not an Oscar type of movie… but funny if you decide to not be “old”)
@ STEPHEN DOUGLAS
Ive sent you an email regarding your offer today to your successclick account.
Look forward to hearing back from you mate.
@MHB
I have two domains that could fit in here:
WatchLive3DTV.COM
3DHDTVCHANNELS.COM
@Mrcurly
Hi mate, not sure who you are… can you resend email and ID your handle here as who you are in your email and your posts? (this is why I hate “handles” in posts. Just use your real name. This is a business)
Thanks!
UPDATE
Europe ready to launch 3-D TV outperforming the competition
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-08/e-ert081310.php
Well, this article got me looking.
I found and registered 1 (that some how got over looked) that I think may be valuable.
Please let me know what you think.
3d-dvdplayer.com
Personally I hate it
Why so?
The hyphen?
Slate
Are 3d movies going to play on dvd players or bluray players?
They are on both or at least the movies are on both dvd and blu ray.
I have also looked at 3d dvd players (or at least they claim to be 3d).
Slate
Ok so i’m thinking that in the next few years most people that buy 3d Dvd’s will play them on a bluray player, so the dvd 3d player is already on the way out
That’s just my thoughts
you should ask Mr. Douglas who seems light years ahead of me on this
I see what you are saying. Thank you for the input.
you’re both wrong gentlemen… (sorry)
you’re not going to buy bluray players either.. they’re already being packaged as ‘All In One’s’ .. a 3dtv with a slot for your disc..
…and the next phase after that is direct streaming ..
.. they’re both going to be short lived if you are talking about ‘the next couple of years’
**by ‘Both Short lived’, i mean dvd and blu ray
* sorry for the multiple postings *
but you can see the World’s First All In One 3d Tv with Built in Blu Ray and HDD Recorder here:
http://asia.cnet.com/2010/07/21/world-s-first-all-in-one-3d-tv-with-blu-ray-player-hdd-recorder/
I registered 3DDVDPLAYERS.NET a while back and BLURAY3DPLAYER.COM ( I know about the TM issues with that one before anyone points it out)!
i played that one a little safer…
.. i grabbed 3dBDP.com
but to follow my last post up, i also grabbed 3dAIO, AIO3d and AllInOne3d – all dot com’s

Just walked away from the registrar with another SECRET, HIDDEN name that was seemingly waiting for me to come along and pluck it away.
• 3-DPORN.TV</font
again, not a big fan of either the dash OR the TV, but when it’s THIS fitting, i just can’t walk away from it…
… not to mention, i bought i it Moniker ($15) and not GD ($40)
First-Ever 3D Experience Hits New York City Next Month
“Tri-curious New York City residents and visitors will be treated to a very special three-day (of course!) event next month, when The 3D Experience hits Times Square. Following successful events in Singapore and Hong Kong, this festival will be giving both industry insiders and consumers at large the lowdown on the latest and greatest technology. For more details on what we should expect next month–the official dates are Friday 9/24 thru Sunday 9/26–we bent the ear of Nino Balistreri, Managing Director of The 3D Experience.”

The slash is bad but its a great buy for 15 bucks
I know not technically “3d”.. but I believe Mr. Douglas would appreciate this one….
GDA… FINALLY hit my account:
• HologramMonitors.com
🙂
This Mr. Douglas (no relation) doesn’t appreciate it. HolographicMonitors would be the proper term, not HologramMonitors. And HolographicDisplays would be better than either, but it’s owned by Ford Motor Company so good luck with that. I have done some business in the past with the guy who owns HolographicTVs.com… decent guy to work with if you are interested, but he already has enough of my money 🙂
I do not disagree with you – Holographic Monitors would probably be the better name… but i don’t think HologramMonitors is that far off the charts… i have seen it referenced both ways tbh… personally i think the one thing hurting this name more is the ‘S’.
Looking at exact content on Google for the past year will show you a roughly 5 to 1 differential in “Holographic Monitor” (165 results) to “Hologram Monitor” (34)… singular.
However, i know it’s still early in the game for this breakdown, but ‘Hologram Monitors’ is showing 11 ads to ‘Holographic Monitors’ zero.
*Not trying to be confrontational, trying to learn a little more about reading into future domains 🙂

@ Andrew Douglas
Hi Andrew. Actually, a true “HOLOGRAPH” in the initial proper term meant “written in the person’s own hand.” In other words, it’s like a handwritten letter. It was mostly used in the legal community to refer to a document, serving as a will, that was handwritten by the person establishing his will. So “holographwill.com” is a domain for providing info on these legal documents, but also could be a “hologram” of a 3D piece of handwritten paper of someone’s will. (the latter not likely).
Today, all these terms are synonymous with “3D imagery”. Hologram, holograph, holographic. They are all interchangeable.
HologramMonitors.com is actually a term that can be used (probably as a measuring gauge or device in the operation of holograms, but not the actual image vehicle itself.) A real holographic/hologram image providing “unit” is going to be different than what we have now as “monitors”. The display unit for a hologram/holograph/3d image is expected to be a “table” projection TV setup.
The only problem I have with Hologrammonitors.com is the two “M’s” together, but yes, you can use either hologram or holograph to define 3D images.
oops… I apologize… I was reading up on the holograph will to double check and when I mentioned it in my previous statement, I accidentally put down my domain which made no sense.
Nope — never mind! It was correct – i think.
I didn’t say “holographmonitors” I said “holographicmonitors”. Hologram is a noun. Holographic is an adjective meaning of or relating to a holograph or hologram. Holographic Monitors is simply proper english.
I thought the term being thrown around was “Holo” , Holotv.com, Holoprojectors.com etc…. Im also trying to work out if there will be a such thing as a “holographic monitor”, I thought holograms will be projected by beams of light so you wouldnt have a monitor? Might be wrong, but looking at this link – http://www.hdguru3d.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=431:japan-invests-billions-into-holo-tv-technology&catid=35:hdguru3d-news&Itemid=59
@ Andrew D
You can use any noun as an adjective in a domain phrase. So “holographTV.com” would be a TV defined by the adjective “holograph”. You’re surely not saying that a definitive domain name of two words that make sense can be done with the grammatical acceptance of two nouns together? Yes?
“Glass” is a noun
“Table” is a noun
GlassTable.com makes “glass” an adjective. Same application for holograph. You don’t need to use “holographic” to define the intent of the domain phrase for holographs. You can use “holographic”, and I do, but it won’t be essential to the general public. Any use of the words “holo”, “hologram”, “holograph” and “holographic” will all be acceptable to define the general interpretation of a 360 degree viewing of an image.
As a domain consultant, I provide this type of information and knowledge for my clients so they better understand the value of their domains, and how to buy correctly.
Hope this helps.
HoloMonitors would also be preferable to HologramMonitors (and it’s owned by the same guy who owns HolographicTVs).
I appreciate the advice Stephen but I’m going to stick with consulting a dictionary in this case. That Webster guy often (but not always) gets it right. 🙂
How about HoloVisio.com???
Is this a good name?
HoloVisio looks like a typo and the word ‘Visio’ i believe, is a tm… so be careful. (Could be wrong)
i actually have “ChannelHolo.com” <– i love this one!

HoloMobilePhone.com
HoloMobilephones.com
HoloSmartPhone.com
HoloSmartPhones.com
HoloTelevision.co.uk
also….
HologramCellPhone.com
HologramCellPhones.com
More to follow….
The last two i picked up for $4 each on expired section on Go-Daddy, worth a punt!!
Oooops, also have
HoloMobile.com
Oooops x 2 , I dont have HoloMobile.com , got things wrong there, i have Hologrammobile.com, a bit rubbish that one, again the 2 “M’s” together!!!
How do you feel about “3dDatabase.com”?
I can see lots of applications for it, but what do you guys think?
@Slate,
Actually, 3Ddatabase.com has some future trend potential, some programmers are working on that concept.
I don’t like conjoining identical characters between words in a domain tho.
@Andrew — you stated the you think “holographic” is the correct word, but the dictionary, which you say you’re using, says “Noun – a manuscript handwritten by the persona named as its author”. “Holo – from the Greek “Holos meaning “whole”, and “graphos” meaning “written”.
But also the term “holography” is the “study or production of HOLOGRAMS. This is from the dictionary and online dictionaries.
The terms holograph, holographic, holograms are interchangeable, and that’s FROM your dictionary!
This phrase might be shortened to “holo” for branding, and I wouldn’t be surprised is some major corporation is working on trademarking it right now. It will be hard —
I picked up 3-dsoftware.com for $69 on namejet yesterday
I have //FAQ3D.com// for sale … but can anybody help me with price/estimate?
think the market for 3d names is a little bit dried up now seeing more and more regs with the dash and ones that make no sense (i have some names with dashes too before you all start 🙂 )
too many people are reading threads like this and going and registering some awfull virtually non sellable names while there is still room to pick up a drop or buy a names from another domainer who wants to make a few bucks only.
guys stop regging bad names and concentrate spend all that money you are spending on multiple names and go and buy just one decent name it will be more beneficial to you.
I did buy a lot of .infos with the mind of putting them onto bido but now bido has closed the doors and looks like it wont reopen now for some time if it does now i have to look elsewhere,the concept was good there just a shame they pulled it and no buyer has been found.
saying that i did pull in $400 on one .info should have really held it but end of the day it paid for some of my investment in 3D
anyone have a spare 30k 🙂
@ slate
3ddatabase.com i like it and know where you are going with that should be a nice one to hold
I started registering 3D domains back in February. I’m hoping that such things like 3D Photocopiers, 3D On Demand and 3D VOIP takes off.
We picked up 5 last night off GD
intertel3d.com
telnet3d.com
3dtelnet.com
imt3d.com
tmi3d.com
Like em ..
Sorry, Telenet is just a network protocol that uses a basic command prompt? I can’t see any use for telnet 3D names??
Dont see any use for the TMI or IMT names either, unless I am missing some common acronyms??
Good luck though
telnet= television network in 3d on the internet
The new internet will stream live material in 3d from a telnet3d website.
imt = internet mobile television
tmi = television mobile internet
abbrs
30 bucks to try
Also not sure it makes a difference but we regged
telnet3d.com not telenet3d.com
I guess it could also mean telecommunication network in 3d
Like 3dcam calls
@DM Partners – I’m not opposed to abbreviations, but they have to A. make sense B. have at least some common usage prior to becoming abbreviations and C. not conflict with other words that are in common usage but that mean something completely different (like telnet). For example “internet mobile television” and “television mobile internet” are both just random ordering of common words that make no sense together and the exact google searches show that really the only time they are combined are when there’s a comma between them.
Let me give you an example – I recently hand registered an admittedly unlikely abbreviation for the new wave of Interchangeable Lens System Cameras that are becoming more popular (like the Olympus Pen). Now why did I register it when the abbreviation was not currently in popular use? Because there’s been no final or accepted abbreviation for what is an unmanageably long product name. DSLR for example took years before it became the defacto standard abbreviation.
Why try to register a name in this market? Because ILS cameras (or Micro cameras or EVIL cameras or hybrid cameras) are designed to replace the “prosumer” range of DSLR’s which are big and expensive. Currently there are less than a dozen models of these new mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras on the market right now, but many more are coming.
Another thing I researched prior to the registration was how frequently the non-abbreviated form of the term was used and in the case of “Interchangeable Lens System Cameras”, the usage was very high, but the abbreviated form is not nearly as common. That’s the perfect time to grab a domain imo.
Hope this helps.
Andrew
I get your points, The reason I regged imt3d.com was because I saw a TV commercial and the person said I opened my new business and right away I went to the –internet- mobile and television to promote it. It may not be anything now and may be nothing later but for 7 bucks Its worth a try. Same with telnet3d.com
It just looks good to us with no thought either way. Just a try reg.
Picked up this one today
3DHiWay.com
Think of wifi
hiway a shorter version of highway
Yes .. No?
@dmpartners
‘i think’ you need to stop buying names right now 🙂
A vote of confidence YES. It’s called thinking out of the box.
If I would have said I bought hotpotato.com 10 years ago you probably would have said the same thing,
you’re singing that song to the WRONG guy, for sure.
you asked ‘yes’ or ‘no’
please don’t ask for feedback if you are not willing to take honesty in return.
.. either way…
.. good luck to you
Anybody like my new purchase, I thought for a “holo” name is was perfect, short and brandable??
eHolo.com
Any thoughts?
Are holograms even out yet? I mean I heard of 3d but never heard of a hologram or holographic tv/monitor yet (well outside of Star Treck) but then again, I haven’t been looking into holograms much.
It really could be something in the future but I have no idea where we currently are in that technology.
@ dmpartners
i have to say a big no for that name
maybe you missed my previous post 🙂
@DM Partners,
What you should be doing is SAVING YOUR MONEY and purchasing a strong 3D domain – any good domainer has at least spent $1000 or more for a good solid domain. You can spend $1000 in less than a month going crazy buying domains you “think” will work.
Do your research, spot the trend, find a short or clearly generic domain in that niche, and offer someone some money if they own it. A lot of domainers will flip a domain quickly for $1000. Plus, it looks good in your quiver, yes?
Sign up for Snapnames/Moniker auctions, bid on some domains there. I have a feeling that in less than 6 weeks, some auction house will have an exclusive “3d” domain auction. 😉
@dmpartners, you havent done much research on holo tech have you??
You’re right, I must have missed that post…
I presume you were referring to my name??
no giles that was purely for dm partners 🙂
@Giles
Very nice name Giles, top one mate. Ive just had another offer on my 3DSmartPhone.com from a bloke in Korea via Sedo then 2 hours on from that an email direct to me saying “Name your price”. Also had an email from Robb at Dough Domains , saying “You’ll do well with your 3DSmartPhone.com”. Not sure what to do right now with the domain, a big part of me wants to hold on till the 3D SmartPhones come out and another says sell the domain you tit. Gonna wait on see….. “Holo” domains are going thick and fast…..
So far end-users don’t get it
(neither do I, save a couple of names and I mean literally a couple)
Just reg’d
HologramChannel.com
🙂
Been a few 3D sales on Netfleet inc 3DPrinter.com.au for A$800 earlier this year
@Stephen Douglas
Stephen, if Sedo do a 3D Auction in 6 weeks and if we have previously submitted 3D Domains for an auction and its been rejected, how will we be able to re-apply the domain for the 3D Auction because you have to wait 3 months dont we?
Just reg’d 1 more holo domains and 2 holographic –
HolographicPcs.com
HolographicNotebook.com
HoloNotebooks.com
Keep em coming…..
Just reg’d another cheeky little one for £2.50
HoloTv.us
Come on, the price of an ice cream!
Seems this conversation is headed down a ‘Holo Road’..so…
… GoDaddy – $0.99 Special Right Now
• MobileHolographic.com
can be applicable for cameras, phone(s) or projection.

and back to the original conversation
.. i got paid today form ‘Parked.com’…
…coincidentally, the following name was available for the same amount i got paid
.. so.. basically…
• 3-dLaptop.com = FREE
🙂
@Stu
Didn’t mention anything about Sedo holding an auction for 3D. There’s nothing set in stone for anything yet.
@Stephen Douglas
What would be the best domain to have and would hold the most value
– holotv.com
– hologramtv.com
– 3dhologramtv.com
– holographictv.com
Everyone else can give their opinion aswell.
thanks
Looks like Nokia and Intel are working together on a 3D Smartphone –
“Nokia and Intel aren’t content to simply work on the MeeGo operating system together as they seem to be partaking in a new venture. Nokia is joining forces with chip supremos Intel in a joint research venture looking at 3D smartphone technology.
The two companies are collaborating on a new research unit at the Center for Internet Excellence at the University of Oulu, Finland. Details of the research are sparse, but there are suggestions that the two companies are looking at new types of 3D interface technolgy for future generations of smartphones, as well as at ways of representing social networking data.
Intel Labs director Martin Curley said, “There’s an opportunity for this joint innovation center to shape this, in terms of the synthesis of virtual and physical world and location-based services.” We are not 100% sure what that means, but it sounds like the sort of thing that someone ought to be doing.
The new research centre marks a continuation of Intel and Nokia’s relationship. The two companies have most recently been working together on the Meego mobile operating system, set to debut in the upcoming Nokia N9”.
HoloTV.com would be the best name there, but its owned by Robert Connor as usual, along with all the other good “holo” names…
Just my opinion though..
@Giles
Is that because its the shortest?
@Giles,
What happens if the holographic stuff comes around and nobody is calling it “Holo” , where if you have “holographic” or “hologram” then its in stone.
The more I think about it the more I like my 3dDatabase.com.
Its generic enough that it can be used for pretty much anything 3d related.
A database of 3d graphics, 3d graphic engines, 3d games, 3d game engines, 3d movies, 3d models, 3d structures, 3d websites, and the list goes on.
Now I just have to figure out if it would be worth my time to attempt to build it out or just sit on it and sell the domain later down the road?
What is your opinion?
Cheers

@mrcurly
It certainly is one of the reasons, longer words like this always get shortened somehow and think this would be the obvious choice. I think it has a nice ring to it too. I think its worth the risk.
I think it will still be known as “Holographic” in a general sense, but I am sure there will be a shorter version for everyday use.
If not, I guess I lose out on eHolo.com lol…it has the benefit of being a 5L.com brandable name as well I guess??
Holographic / Holo / HG ???
HGTV?… HGMobile?… sounds so much better in certain instances
i have ‘4DHG.com’ with just that in mind…
… well, the ‘4d’?…not trying to steer this into ‘4d’ conversation, but check this article out from 2007 talking about ‘4d’

Even though some domainers are calling me the “Father of New Domaining”, I still present you with the facts:
http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2010/08/3d_tv_must_be_s.html
The facts?
The fact is 3D is moving ahead so fast you just can’t stop it. Anytime something new comes along you have your nay sayers who will go against the trend to try and look good. 3D is going to keep moving ahead and the 3D internet is not far away.
Reason? Big Players with big money are backing it and it will keep being put in your face until ya buy it. I would not sell any 3D domains for 12 months because when the 3d internet hits almost any strong 3d.com will have huge value. Just my
O of course,
In my humble opinion, the open market will shake out what will become future trends and what will go the way of the dinosaur.
If the public grasps and likes the idea of 3d tvs or 3d websites then that is what manufactures will create.
Right now its speculative. The demand for 3d movies is great, and people are willing to pay the extra 3-5 bucks to watch the movie. Truly it cost the producers little more to make the 3d movie. Its not like they had to shoot the entire movie twice. One for the regular and one for 3d. They just take the regular movie and run it thorough a 3d generating program. So for little more work and little more effort, they make more profit.
Let the open market decide what people need. After all its the people who will be paying the money or not. It will all shake out in the end.
@Slate
“Its not like they had to shoot the entire movie twice. One for the regular and one for 3d. They just take the regular movie and run it thorough a 3d generating program. “
This is 100% false.. they tried this already with Alice and Clash of the Titans and it failed miserably in comparison – not only in production and lack of quality, but in the public perception of 3d movies as a whole. It’s because of these two movies that has people reconsidering paying the extra money for 3d.
The backlash because of this thinking has already stopped hollywood dead in its tracks on the conversion wagon and has started to recharter their course, basically agreeing to only shoot the original movie in full 3d. (een porn is SHOOTING in 3d – WITH 3d cameras)
That WILL change production and planning. If you have followed anything from Avatar and the brilliance of Mr. Cameron (who absolutely laced into these two movies because of how they ripped off the public and cheapened the 3d concept along the way), you will have read by now that filming a movie in 3d, and planning each shot accordingly, takes much more time to conceive and depict properly. Filming your movie in 3d will become the next art form in movie production – much more strategic… like anything else in this world, to create something with so much more freedom, makes it that much harder.
also…
… i only ‘somewhat’ agree with your assessment of the people making the final decision… yes, they have a lot to do with it all, but once this is all done properly, and people experience 3d the correct way (see avatar vs. alice), there’s no denying what people would prefer.
Not to mention there’s WAY TOO much money involved now from everywhere and everybody. This is train at full speed ahead and nothing will get in its way.
At present, there are just three main obstacles in the way of a full 3d takeover and once this evolution runs its course.. “You are now Under Marshall Law”:
(1) – LOSING the glasses – the biggest dislike and the biggest hurdle of all
(2) – Lack of content – but they already have that taken care of – rather then convert everything in the world to 3d 9which will not be as good) – Live 3d Events and Live 3d Television will help hold everyone over until the production catches up
(3) – Cost – this is obvious and already reduced since the first 3d tv came out – look how cheap HD TV’s and plasma are today as opposed to when they first came out… even digital camera’s for that matter (4 years ago i bought a crappy old 3 megapixel point and click camera for $350… you can go on ebay right now and buy an 8 megapixel Olympus DSLR , with three interchangeable lenses for less!!!)
this 3d game is based on one thing and one thing only now – this has become a waiting game, and whoever can hold onto the most names in the process wins.
It’s really that simple.
Good luck to us all i presume
(exhale) 🙂
3d Domains
Its funny I hated Avatar and loved Alice. I’m not saying your assessment is wrong I just liked Alice better, I thought it was great and the conversion was nicely done.
Good post lets make some money.
Hurdle number 1 overcome
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2368256,00.asp
Dm
I would say this is huge.
Hurdle 1-10 overcome
I wouldnt say they have overcome it just by one company stating they have the answer, its whether the public try it and like the quality. I know a lot of people who actually say they “like” wearing the glasses because it “feels” like they are watching a 3D movie.
If all the others adopt this technology, then it could be a success, but until then, no-one knows for sure..
Its still far too early to tell in my opinion
I don’t think a press release from a company proves anything. I will wait to see the final product to make any judgments about 3D without glasses.
Brad
Hmmm… So Avatar was shot twice?
It appeared in both 3d and normal version on the big screen.
How could you have 2 of the same movies in 2 distinct versions with out having to alter one of them through some sort of program? Maybe I dont understand what you are saying.
I am pretty sure that Mr. Cameron used the advancement of the 3d/4d movie Captain EO (Walt Disney creation that took 3d outside of the lame blue and red glasses that most of us grew up with). He just needed to wait the 25+ years until that technology was available for others to create works in its likeness.
I remember watching that movie 6 times when I was 10 years old. It was the coolest thing ever… I mean ever! Granted it stared Michael Jackson, but during that time he was still popular no court cases pending against him and he still had his original nose…LOL
If you where not lucky enough to see it as a child… you missed out and I am sorry for that!
With this new style of 3d they have gotten pretty darn close to what Francis Ford Coppola was able to do with Captain EO but they have yet to add all the other outstanding effects (lasers, fog, wind… ect.)
All I am saying is that the technology was there before Cameron made Avatar so he didnt invent anything new. I take that back…of course he did it with computer generation which has never been done before.
Holy crap… they reopened Captain EO again this year at Walt Disney.
If you get the chance… go and see that. I still remember that movie till this day and the effect it had on me about 3d.
I just saying… if you can go see it.

I know Stephen Douglas asked this question a while earlier and really got no answers.. and a few posts back i showed you all ‘caveMAN and the 4d Holograms’ created for the medical field… still got no answers..
… as i look around and the deeper i dig in to holograpchis and holograms, i have found ‘4d’ mentioned a few more times – some times as punchline and sometimes seriously…
i ask because when i discovered the caveMAN article a while back (among others), i jumped and bought a few ‘4d’ names .. not many, but a few of the ‘would-be-best’ 4d names you can think of, so if this catches fire, you can imagine how pleased i will be:
• 4dHG.com
• 4dHolograms.com
• 4dHolographic.com
• 4dHolographics.com
it was worth the gamble at the time, and i still have every intention of renewing these four names, but i was wondering if any of your readers can shed any additional light or information on 4D and the reality of “FOURTH DIMENSION” or “FOUR DIMENSIONAL” … and a step further, but 4d Holograms and holographics… are people just guessing or is this a reality? Still very hard to tell.
If you would like to see just a great description of 4d and 4d space, check this video from Carl Sagan filmed some x years ago. It’s older, but he’s great in the way he explains things:

@mrcurly
I guess its going to come down to what they are commonly known as??
Holo Phones or 3D Phones??
I think once a name get used with the public and big companies, it will stay
If people start calling them 3D Phones and then new 3D phones come out that can project holo images, the public wont just change the commonly used name, I think people will still call them “3D Phones”, but with holographic capabilities,…if you get my point…
@Giles,
What happens with “Holotv” will this stay as 3DTV?
I think it will change to “Holo”, think thats next after 3D and so does everyone else looking at all the “Holo” domains going on!
Its only guess work I suppose, have to try everything 🙂

This might be old news to some, but did you know that Sony Playstation are bringing out a 3D Gaming Smartphone –
“3D is the big buzz right now and Sony knows this more than anyone. The electronics giant is already pushing the technology with its television range and the PS3 as well with both Blu-ray movies and some major games franchises currently in development.
Nintendo announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) that it’s developing its own 3D handheld, the 3DS. And with reports of Samsung also working on a 3D smartphone, Sony can’t miss this prime opportunity to 1up both its rivals by releasing its own 3D gaming smartphone.”
@Giles
I had no idea that they where developing Holographic systems. That is pretty cool!
So how would this fit into system like (lets say) TV?
I have looked into what you had posted and then did a little more searching.
**the link is not posting right now… I will try to add it in the next message**
I really don’t see how Holograph will make it into a small centralized device like a TV or mobile phone.
I understand that over time advancements will be made and the technology will be developed. I can see the call for holoprojectors (which by the way is already taken). I just cant fathom how something like a TV will be able to split the image and project those images into an area of view (like what is shown in that article).
I look forward to your comments. Its obvious that I do NOT have a lot of experience in this area. Hell, I didnt even know that this technology was even being looked into until your post.
Cheers

Under the technology tab
Its the basic setup of how the holograph/holographics work.
I just dont see how that will fit into the TV or phone realm.
something everyone here should look into is “4ktv”
for those who have not heard of it check this link
http://highrollertoys.info/2010/01/4k-tv-in-2010-what-is-it/
its one thing going after tech names guys but make sure you know all the angles in tech its a fast moving/changing industry
about all thats left to reg is
4k-tv.org

up for grabs if anyone wants em myself i am staying away from tech related domains for a while and concentrating on other fields which are far more predictable and profitable
Japan develops ‘touchable’ 3D TV technology
A Japanese research team said Thursday it had developed the world’s first 3D television system that allows users to touch, pinch or poke images floating in front of them.

@Slate
To be honest, I have no idea how they will pull this off, bit it seems to be in the pipeline..should be interesting
With all due respect to MHB, you guys are making comments about 3D, holograms, holographic domains and sounding like — noobs. You need quick guidance or I fear you’re all going to what you’re continuing to do. Yes, all of this future tech is exciting, but you need to know some basic understanding about investing in future trend domains.
I’ve been studying 3D/hologram industry since 2004, I’ve been reading over 12 google alerts on any news printed on every term you’re talking about. Trust me, I’m 100 miles ahead of you in my solar powered car and you guys are still checking out the “scenic view” at the start off the race.
You’re all going nutty, expecting to make big sales on domains that are NOT matured yet as a consumer trend. Hologram products won’t be ready for consumers on the scale that will make an impact until 2015 at the soonest.
3-D.com domain isn’t selling and gets no traffic because nobody types in “3 HYPHEN D”, at least I never did and I’ve never seen the people involved or reporting about 3D writing it this way.
Even though I own a few domains with “holo” as my sole adjective, I can’t even be sure that this is the way holograms will be defined, since the R&D and inventors/scientists rarely, if ever, refer to anything their prodserv as “holo”. The jury is still out.
The reason why people aren’t buying these types of domains is because they aren’t educated about domains yet. Really. There’s current powerful well-known domains in the .com that are still available by the tens of thousands. Companies haven’t yet bought Solar domains en masse, nor offered what they’re worth, even though solar is in full swing. So, for every domain you buy with the short “holo” prefix adjective, plan on renewing them for another 5-10 years.
Since I’m probably the best expert on domains in this field, I should write a blog. Then you guys can come bug me for answers if your questions are good enough.
(I’m not trying to step on Em-Bee’s toes, it’s just that if I’m going to continue to provide commentary for these questions and statements on 3D and holograms, I’d rather do it on my blog so I can keep a record of my comments.)
Is this okay with you, Em-Bee?
Regarding Holo,Holograms and Holographic –
http://www.destinysweb.com/
I agree with a lot of that Stephen, some really good points..
I think a new blog is a great idea..
lol so we started off with 3d then went onto holo now we are onto solar lmao
remind me again what we are discussing here
🙂
nice to see though i am not the only one who is interested in solar domains makes me feel a lot better 🙂
i also recently setup my fist solar website

i also have “3d Real Estate Agency” in dot com 🙂
…a little long, yes, but ‘Real Estate Agency’ gets 1,000,000 exact searches a month at a very respectable $2.23 CPC
… a few other 3d real estate related domains i have… home rentals, house rentals and rental homes… all dot com’s with 3d in front.
.. rentals?.. i don’t know.

btw if anyone is interested….
… 3dCondominium.com is still available at the time of this post

Great news everyday
Just an FYI, 3DTV.CO is currently at $5,200
(18 hours remaining, unless someone places a new bid)
Yeah, thats one of my original names I applied for in the beginning…
I was in the acution, but bailed out ages ago…not worth paying that much!!
I did get 3DGaming.co, not sure how .CO will go but we’ll see??
WOW glad to see these for 3d names.
I just put 3dlaptop.com for sale on ebay to test the waters.

Just after a bit of advice, Im thinking of selling 2 of my domains
3DSMARTPHONE.CO.UK
3DSMARTPHONES.CO.UK
Where would be the best place to sell? Or should i put into an auction? Any advice would be great.
thanks
Any final outcome for 3dTV.co? Would love to know.
i know dot co is a bit of a gamble in these early days, but just in case, i did grab these:
… 3dPC.co
… 3dMonitor.co
… 3dMarketing.co
… 3dWebsite.co
… Mobile3d.co
🙂
@3ddomainNames
3DTV.co went for $5200
I see Sony are taliking “holographic” as well and 3D is going really well according to them…great news!

Thanks Giles..
… still amazes me that 3d PC is so overlooked in this market right now… i think these have the power and potential to be much bigger than TV… wonder what kind of value this helps place on my 3dPC.co name… and while significantly lower in value, i still have 3dPC dot us, dot biz and dot mobi (save the mobi comments haha)

… it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago …
… and my brother, who also jumped in to the 3d domain game with me, bought me a GoDaddy gift certificate…. i couldn’t have asked for a better gift… it allowed me to finally buy a few names that i have been wanting, and in an area that i wish i had more of in my portfolio… so that was just addressed
.. Thanks Chris 🙂 … look what you got me:
• 3dRetailDisplays.com
• 3dAdvertisingSystem.com
• HologramExhibit.com
• HologramExhibition.com
• HolographicExhibit.com
• HolographicExhibition.com
• 3dHolographicAdvertising.com
• HolographyAdvertising.com
(probably the only real questionable one of the bunch)
For anybody who doesn’t know .. look into the wonders of ‘3d Retail Display’ :
check this out for example:—> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc76sypeYvk&feature=related
and the ‘3d Advertising System’… which is similar to ‘Holo Pod’ … very cool stuff… these are already being used in select places around the globe, mostly in the asian countries where the speed of their brilliance is just mind numbing..
The ‘Exhibit’ and ‘Exhibition’ names tie in very nicely with the video i showed you from my last post (with the DJ)… these will be very big, i assure you. The WOW factor in Holography is unquestionable and destined to be bigger then anything we have ever seen.. it will be the line in the sand that says “we are finally In The Future”
Here is just a great site that covers most of what i just spoke about with a ton of great uses for holography and holographic advertising:

and that’s 3d Real Estate.
check out this excerpt:
“The Estate3d process is simple; take photos of any building, create an account at estate3d.com and upload the photos, pay the $99 fee and locate the building with estate3d’s simple building location finder. Once the photos have been taken its an easy 5 minute process. 3D buildings are created in less than 1 week. The building will then be “live” in Google Earth and able to be embedded on any website.”

@DMpartners
You can’t just come into the game buying domains because a certain technology is trending and accept to have people start contacting you to buy your domains! Pay your dues!
I started buying 3D domains over 5 years ago to start this movement, and we still may not see buyer with big $$$ until the 3D trend matures fully and ‘settles in’.
Stay tuned, like I’ve said before.

@3d Domain Names
You’re welcome, bro. But my real advice is — Stop buying domains with no resale value – THINK FIRST, that’s why I let domains drop. Just think of every domain purchase as buying a large cheese pizza… or six pack of decent beer. Once you see it that way, you’ll see a lot of six packs of beer and pizza gathering dust in your storage space.
@SD
That’s funny – that was your drop 🙂
…so i guess if i’m following in the footsteps of a master, i must be just a few years away now. 🙂
seriously though… i don’t even disagree with you on this one.. i actually DID think of the resale and i almost didn’t buy it – had it in my cart and before purchasing, i kept asking ‘as good as it is, who would buy this?’… i read a few more articles that contained the phrase, glanced over the patents being applied.. noticed HOW the term was being used … a handful of ads were being displayed, although, none buying the term… but then, ironically enough… i just thought of it as ‘a large cheese pizza (or a decent six pack of beer)’ and said screw it – at least i have something for my money … i can just eat soup 🙂
All you need is a dollar and a dream.
Or in this case, A domain name and a dream.

What I would love to see..is all those great 3d domain sales?
TV is TV
Movies are Movies.
Period.
till’ the next big thing.
Hey Domo
There has actually been a lot of 3d sales this year alone, and for some ‘decent’ money.
you can see a list here:
http://www.domaintools.com/domain-sales-history/?q=3d
**Please keep in mind that these are just reported names… others have sold that are not on this list (Travel3d.com, 3dDating.com..etc..)
I have to say that I am actually excited to see all these advancements in the 3d realm of things.
I just learned today that a very dear friend of mine is actually filming a TV promo for new comedy series in 3D (about a month ago).
This was in Australia. Its starting to hit home for me which is cool.
Now I am reaching a point like everyone else and trying to think how can I profit from this.
I think my biggest claim to the 3d world is my 3dDatabase.com domain.
I haven’t developed it yet. Every time I look into it I get whelmed over.
There is SOOO MUCH 3d information out there that I don’t even know where to begin.
Anything from 3d movies, 3d graphics, 3d game engines, all the way to 3d medical and structural models, 3d software, to even 3d TVs.
This could be a HUGE database if I decide to construct it myself. I am open to suggestions
Cheers
Wonder why my 3DCONSOLE.COM isnt on that 3d sales list.
“”Wonder why my 3DCONSOLE.COM isnt on that 3d sales list.””
Was it a private sale?
@Slate
No, via Afternic for $700, I had 3DSMARTPHONE.COM for $900 the week before aswell
There is a chance that it hasnt been reported yet, or the information hasnt been updated yet.
Those are the only 2 logical reasons.
Cheers
@Stuart
.. both of those names WERE up there at one point. But if you notice, there are a bunch of names that had sold a couple of months ago being listed as Sept 10… this date is inaccurate – that’s apparently the date for when they updated the system… for some reason, your names dropped off the list… maybe only allowed ‘X’ amount of names to be listed?? .. i don’t know … if you MANUALLY type ‘3dSmartphone in, it IS listed.
.. haha .. doesn’t change the fact that you have them now and are probably better off with them NOT being listed anyway.. so NJOY!!

Back to the original question at the top of this post, I think 3DGAMES.COM will be the winner.
Just thought this would be cool to mention. This could bring in the scifi crowed (assuming they where not already into 3d)
“”GEORGE Lucas is set to re-release the six Star Wars films in 3D, beginning in 2012 with one film annually led by The Phantom Menace.
Though the 3D versions have been rumoured for some time, Lucas was evidently waiting until there were enough 3D screens available to make the release a sizable enough event.
A statement on the Star Wars website said: “The cutting edge conversion will take that immersion to the next thrilling level.”
Fox, which released all six of the original Star Wars films, would also release the 3D versions.””
Cheers
Great article Stuart
We are just hoping 3DMobileNetwork.com will make us happy

Back to the original question at the top of this post, 3DPHONE.COM might be one of the best.
http://3DPHONE.com
Online shopping site was launched by Epik team earlier than production of 3D phones by global makers.
@ dmpartners
What do you mean by “Make us Happy”???
What do you think a domain like yours would sell for?
We should think about most of us who have 3d domains to band together in some form and like each others sites.
Just my thought
Cheers
The domain is intended to go to one of the top companies Verizon,Google Apple Nokia Sprint AT&T, Motorola etc., 7 Figures will be needed to take this domain, Its brandable and the top domain name in the mobile sector.
Hi Stu and gang,
Oh 3dgames.com is pretty good, but I think everyone, and I mean EVERY advertising agency and medium electronic will be doing some “3Dadvertising.com”. sorry for the tee hee pitch! lol
Stu, did you sell 3dconsole.com yet?
@ stephen
I have to agree here 3dgames.com is a nice name to own but imho gaming will be be big and money will follow for those lucky to own names like this but the advertising/marketing side to 3d will be massive also a lot more potential here
hence my purcases
http://www.3dadvertising.co
3dvideomarketing.com
Yeah Stephen i still have 3dconsole.com for sale, no-one doesnt want to pay my asking price of $1000 though, might have to sit on it for a while. 🙁
Stu,
Email me.
@Stu
Do not sell 3DCONSOLE.COM for $1000,you will see it sell next year when Nintendo bring out the 3D Console. It will sell for $xx,xxx soon, trust me.
No more silly offers please. NOT FOR SALE!

Seem’s to be alot of “what-ever” going on about the 3-D issue….It’s been around for 60+ years, and won’t be going away, anytime soon. Holo, & 3-D will be holding hands, for years to come, so everybody please enjoy this new “marriage.” From my developer’s point of view, the .com address is still the “Big kid on the block” and…. the developed .com will bring you the $$ that you are looking for…it’s a rarity that a “name-alone” will provide you with retirement $$, but still fun for everyone, never the less…Have a great day…Jerry-
My pal Stuart read this
http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/hp-to-build-paul-mccartney-a-private-cloud/
3Dlaptop.com for 50k or best offer? Who ever has this domain is underselling.
Pull that from your website its bringing down the market,
There will be huge amounts of 3dlaptops
Not a fan of 3DTV names. Think good TV names go up in value now though.
3D anything is too niche to start a business around. Like being in the emerald green sedan business – a little silly.
Rather have a great TV name with a broader reach.

3D TV Shipments to Approach 50 Million in 2015, Says ABI Research
I think its safe to say it’s not a bad idea to start a business around 3D.
Im happy with my bondage3dtv.com and anytime3dtv.com
Not sure about your post
I’m sure emerald green sedans produce 50 million in sales too. Still not what you would work around. You won’t see 3D store opening up. You will see places like best buy sell a lot more in their accessory section.
Nice names to compliment a main site but I’d never use one as my main site. Rather have a good TV name for that.
And the debate about 3D continues.
This is my thoughts on this (and if you dont want my thoughts… tough luck). I am not sure if those people who are nay sayers have done their homework. In the last year or two, 3D has really taken off. I am not really a big 3D person. In fact I only own two (2) 3D domain names.
However, while building (I am still in the process of building) one of my 3D domains into a site, I have come to learn first hand that 3D in general is HUGE!!!
I have 3dDatabase(dot)com and that means I am attempting to touch on everything 3D.
3D is not just limited to Movies and TVs.
There are 3D cameras and camera lenses.
3D camcorders
3D Software to include 3D animation software, 3D Game engines.
3D Graphics Software that has 3D Models, wallpaper, and clip art to name a few.
There are 3D channels for your television. Directv has a whole 3D section you can get.
and of course there is the 3D TVs, 3d CellPhones, 3D web, 3D Movies (to include blu-ray), 3D projectors, 3D dispalys… and the list goes on.
I just barely touched the surface of 3D with what I have listed here.
3D is becoming huge! You cant take that away from it.
I dont think however, that every domain with a 3D in front of it will fly!!!
3d Dishwashers… 3D refrigerators… Not going to work. A little common scenes here can go a long way.
3D TVs, 3D electronics, 3D Web, 3D computer and things of that ilk will make it as great domain names.
Its just my opinion from a person who is waste deep in 3D content. There is just SOOOOO much 3D content out there that its actually difficult to keep up.
Cheers
@ Slate
I saw it coming in 2005. lol. You’re absolutely right, and you covered a lot of areas I don’t think many domainers realize. Of course it’s huge. Just look at the responses on Em-Bees post here. I think it’s passed the 450 comments, which I believe is a record for his blog (Em-Bee, am I right?)
3D IS THIS GENERATION AND THE NEXT’S TREND… and soon, Holograms/Holographs – the Final Frontier.
Stephen
Not only is it a record but not a really a day doesn’t go by when another one is not added
Like I said to start with
HOT
@Stephen
You saw it coming in 2005? Why didnt you snap up all the best domains dude? You could be sat on your private island by now! 🙂
Toshiba unveils glasses-free 3-D TV
The Tokyo-based company on Monday unveiled the world’s first high definition liquid crystal display 3-D television that does not require special glasses – one of the biggest consumer complaints about the technology.
http://www.physorg.com/news205388469.html
nice this is what most consumers are shouting for
Point I was trying to make is for every penny in 3DTV, there are a million pennies in TV.
Of course, everyone with a 3DNotWorth20Bux.com is going to come out the woodwork.
The silly technology will fade, TV won’t and even if it becomes a phenomenon it’s not strong enough to start a business around.
Predictably, domainers always flock towards what’s sexy not what’s valuable but if you like value, TV names are much better.
A lot of money in electronics but you never see end user sales, so I predict years of parked 3D names and shitty affiliates. Don’t foresee many 3D entrepreneurs either. All that money is going to Best Buy and the likes.
@ Em-Bee – thanks bro… I respect your opinion and it means a lot to me
@Stuart – I only bought domains that were from topics being discussed at the time. Plus, a few other guys were quietly in the game for 3D, while I was capturing the largest Solar and Robotics domain portfolios in the world.
3D isn’t the only game in town. heh.
Just keep your eye on “cellphone scanning”. In the next 2 years, your cellphone will represent your financial, travel, personal, communicative, and business activities. (I have a blog article I’m writing that for next week that will blow everyone’s mind in all these areas).
I couldn’t get all the “3D” domains, because my research on 3D let me to the “end game”, the “final frontier” of entertainment, especially in gaming and visual… and that’s holograms/holographics.
While many domainers focus on what’s current today (and there’s nothing wrong with that), over five years ago, I figured “what about what’s coming in the future?”. Then started picking off the best future trend domains I could find. I stated this to Monte Cahn in an inteview on DomainMaster radio in late 2006, and regretted it ever since!
@SD… cellphone scanning is already here… Chase was the first to incorporate this into your cellphones… i have it and have already used it – it’s pretty cool.. the technology may still be a bit early, still some bugs (and limitations: $500 max check), but this is very cool…. the days of ‘The Check Is In The Mail” will soon be as ancient as using the word ‘Groovy’, although rumor has it, SD still uses this term. 🙂
but yes… many don’t truly understand the magnitude that 3d has in store for everybody. Understandable to some degree – they stick to their niche and never leave- i get it – this is where they excel … but you have already established yourself and built a very respectable name for yourself in the domaining space SD, and congrats to you for that, but a ‘new-on-the-scene’, little ole me?… man, i have been BLASTED and ridiculed up and down this web over and over for even the thought of such an idea…. luckily i’m strong enough (or stupid enough) to be my own man and not let myself get swayed by the masses of ignorance…. if they would JUST spend an ONE hour TRULY looking into ‘3d and where it is about to come from (and NOT just TV’s) and the hundred or so ways that it will be used in this world, maybe they would see what i see … or everybody else on this blog sees… the NEED … the WANT… and the many uses of a good 3d domain.
@Slate
… while you touched on a nice amount of 3d content, you really only touched on products. (phones, tv, movies..etc).. There is still a GREAT BIG world out there for the use of ‘3d’ that you haven’t even touched on… like the medical industry with 3d scanning, and the educational fields that use 3d to teach, or the businesses that have already started training all their employees using nothing BUT 3d methods… 3d teleconferencing is just a site to behold in and of itself as well… how about those websites that will feature 3d concepts, like ‘travel’ and ‘real estate’ and ‘dating’ or the soon-to-be ‘3d Test Drive’ where you can sample your ride right on line … the sky is the limit here and really, all it takes is ONE major ‘3d’ website to kick the door in and show everyone – in the wild – show them with their very own eyes, what a ‘3d website’ is all about, and HOW this can be just SO advantageous over their competition (not to mention COOL!) and everyone will be lining up for their own 3d website and 3d domain name. (..and NO, not all 3d names are ticketed for stardom, see.. 3d milk or 3d BALD to name just a few).
as for my holo names, i’m up to about 30 pretty strong names now, mostly in the advertising and marketing end of things (this just seemed to be safer money), although, my favorite name in the bunch has to be “Channel Holo”… LOVE this name.
Anyway, that’s my two cents
Enjoy your sunday everybody 🙂
Just offering a difference of opinion. Wishing success, not failure to 3D holders but don’t challenge me dude.
Get one of those 3D names to end user in a week and I’ll pay you a chunk. If you don’t, you pay me a chunk?
See you can’t, cause I know the space and they don’t care. Like I said, just a future of parked pages, bad affiliates, and sales buyers will regret.
You have some of the better 3D names, so if you can’t noone can.
@jody
who me? (haha)
… i’m not challenging you in any way, and i’d probably have a hard time selling to an end user at the moment, but that’s because the field is not level yet – need to wait for content and to rid the world of the glasses – but it IS coming and there will be a market for it… about the only obstacle that will remain once that does happen is going to be the COST of an actual ‘3d’ website. (or so i see it)
Mr. Douglas has mentioned he has one of the best holo name portfolio’s anywhere, but at the time, there’s no real market… it’s calendar pages away, so are his names worthless at the time because finding an end user in a future market is just not there? i don’t know if you have seen his holo names, but i’d give a limb to have that for my own (ok, i’m being dramatic… i’d give him YOUR limb haha – j/k )
admittedly, there will be more than a few drops (i didn’t buy smart out of the gate, my smarter buying came after weeks and months of researching, not just a quick graze of google), but whatever names i have been lucky enough to sell have already covered the cost of the drops, so luckily, no harm there.. my initial investment now is down to the ‘keepers’ and as a business man, i can live with that… the future is bright for my holdings, and i believe will be worth my time and effort.
i’m still fairly new to the ‘insides’ of this industry so i won’t challenge you, but bet me in another year or so and see how that turns out… remember, Derek Jeter was once a 21 year old unknown at one point.
**BTW – Congrats To My Yankees On Another SWEEP!!
Don’t worry, you’ll do great. Electronics is a tough area though.
So you have a market that is admittedly not there, while domains in bigger established markets sell for pennies.
Just funny to compare, when trying to value.
@Stephen Douglas
“I couldn’t get all the “3D” domains, because my research on 3D let me to the “end game”, the “final frontier” of entertainment, especially in gaming and visual… and that’s holograms/holographics. ”
The end game, as I see it, is a noninvasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Replicate the signals processed by the brain, so that the brain can’t tell the difference from the real thing, and you don’t have “holograms/holographs”, you have neural reality. Take everything you know about computers, e-commerce, wireless networks, social networks, love, sex, rock ‘n roll, etc. – now grant direct access 24/7 by your brain, and the collective brains of a global population. The only thing left to do – reboot. We can choose to be a part of the collective or simply exist on our own channel. Or both. In layperson speak: Welcome to the “The Matrix” evolved.*
For those who doubt, read Ray Kurzweil’s book, “The Singularity Is Near.”
1,000 years of linear growth requires only 10 calendar years when progress is accelerated exponentially.
*Anti-virus protection suddenly takes on a whole new meaning. Also, it’s probably time to revisit “permissions” and “friending” architecture(s) when deployed on a biologically based, hybrid neural network. Just saying…
@sdm ..
… as interesting a topic as this is (and i LOVE this stuff!), there would just not be a need for a domain name at all at that point. You’re also starting to head into the world of ‘Cyborg’ at this point.
**The Matrix, yes, but this post also made me think of ‘Demolition Man’ (with stallone), when there is no human contact in the future and the only ‘allowable’ way they had sex was by sitting across from each other and each placing a helmet on their heads while plugged in to some type of brain wave connectivity device to ‘get it on’… they would close their eyes and their brains would ‘think’ they were having sex because of how the data was recieved…
or
‘Total Recall’ with Schwarzenegger, with the implanted memory chips (always thought this was his best movie)… but the good news is, they’re making a remake of this – i can’t IMAGINE what kind of new sneak peak technology we will be seeing in this one.
.. i don’t know how FAR away this all is, but by then how we use the internet will surely be drastically different if we will be connected like that, no?
Our Future On This Planet = Exciting but seriously SCARY
@3d Domain Names
The truth of the matter is that only the top 10% of the wealthiest 1% of our global population could afford to implement the ultimate BCI technology as described.
For the rest of us, the technology will trickle down to PlayStation, XBOX & Nintendo in addition to less expensive medical procedures – just enough to keep us mildly content, amused and distracted while others decide our collective fate.
Yep. The rest of us will still be on Facebook, texting while driving (bad idea) and, oh yeah… buying domain names.*
*I understand BCI POD servicing and maintenance is probably a growth industry during the early stages of this emergent technology.

Advice needed, Ive just had 3DSMARTPHONE.COM accepted in the TRAFFIC Miami auction with reserve of $10,000 , LOL, I know it prob will not sell but if it does will i regret it considering 3d smartphones are not even out yet! Any advice would be great.
thanks
Stuart… sit tight .. i will email u 🙂
Stuart this is your call 10K is good cash, Will it be worth more? I think so
@ 3D DOMAIN NAMES
Ok mate, will do, I also have a contract to sign??????? WTF
@Stuart
Yeah, you will have to sign a contract. Make sure you read the contract well because they will have rights to your domain name in an attempt to sell it for 60 days after TRAFFIC.
Its not a bad deal if you are not actively marketing it yourself, however if you do sell it yourself within that 60 days they are granted 15% or $200 what ever is more. At $10k its going to be 15%
Still you have a chance to make some great money if it does sell. If not… no loss.
I would put it up and at the very least get some name notoriety out there for it.
The chances of you making it into the MAIN part of the traffic auction is small already.
Cheers and I hope this helps.
All the best
Thanks for the advice guys, Im tempted but since its 23.29pm here in the UK , I will sleep on it and hopefully wake up to some more advice in my inbox or on this site. Thanks guys again
I have these 3 in the TRAFFIC Miamin auction as well
3DRecorder.com
3DRecorders.com
3DGaming.co
Dont hold much hope though, Ive set high reserves as I am happy to hold onto them…
Good luck Stu
Stuart, you will regret this.
@Giles.. i don’t think you’re in the live auction though… final auction results have been updated.
and this should make a few people happy … i remember someone earlier had mentioned a few 3d surf names they had regged… so this is for you: 🙂

@3D Domain Names
Thats fine, its more a little exposure thn anything else
Good luck to anyone with names in the auction…
Just looked at the final list for the Miami Auction, it seems a bit weak to me, just filled with .cm and .co but good luck to anyone with them and hope they do well. Taking into account everything that has been said to me I think I will leave this auction alone (Not as if my domain would sell anyway, still too early) and wait for a proper 3D one to come along with no 60 day sucker punch.
LET THE 3D ARMY MARCH ON!!!

The auction is currently running at Sedo.com and industry experts are suggesting a 5 to 6 figure sale, which would be a very welcomed boost to this one time booming industry.

@Stu and others,
It cracks me up to read your postings here on 3D domains, selling them, buying them, what’s going to be big, etc. I have all the answers but few of you contact me. Check soon for a comprehensive blog article on my site in the next week.
Have fun!

Well it looks like we hit the 500 comment mark on this one.
Well make that 501 now.
Not bad
Em-Bee,
Go ahead, brag about it! Arrggh! lol. That really is impressive, bro. I appreciate you mentioning my name, and I hope this article stands as the highest comment section EVER on any popular domaining blog (I actually think it does). They should have an award at one of the conferences for “Most Comments On A Domain Blog Article”.
It shows just how popular and likable your blog is, and rightfully so. When I write my wrap-up on 3D next week, I’ll definitely hook up to this article for any new readers left who haven’t yet read your article. 😉
Have a great weekend, and Congrats again. You’re a class guy.

i caught two really nice holo names for myself today
• HolographicShows.com
• HolographicCommunications.com (love this one!)
And ‘stole’ another on GDA
• HolographicMemoryCards.com
i don’t know how many of you are familiar at all with this tech, but it’s amazing what we’re about to be capable of as far as storage (yes, some of this already exists, but not at the level it’s going to be as far as total capacity and speed) … from passports to medical cards to complete company website business cards, these are going to change how we do a lot of things in this world.
**Only problem i have with the holo names is that they are so damn long.. i always think to myself, ‘well, there’s nothing you can do about that – it is what it is’ – but some of these man… just lo-o-o-ng.
‘Holographic Communications’ is very solid, in my opinion, BUT…NINE syllables? and 25 characters? … Is that too much to diminish the overall strength of this name?
In any event – love my new names. 🙂

Em-Bee,
You are a wise man. Boise State is my 3rd fav college team behind the Ducks and Beavers, because Boise State beating Oklahoma in a bowl game was the best game I ever saw in my life, and it taught the ‘biggies” a lesson: Never underestimate the “little guy”. He might have weapons that can destroy you. heh heh
Boise is up there with the Ducks, either way, I believe one of these two teams will be in the National Championship. Get rid of the the BCS system tho, and go with a playoff system.
Why did you pick Boise State? Just curious.
Boise is the quintessential underdog, David Vs Goliath, not only did they beat OKL in one of the best games of all time, but their running back proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend right after his scored.
Storybook
They spanked TCU last year in the bowl when they were a 7 point underdog.
Their colors are orange and blue, and they play on blue grass, how can you not love them
You all want to watch a proper game – Rugby League!
Ps. 3DS.Asia – is deleting on pool.com on 2010/10/26 for all those who can reg it!
Anyone can register .ASIA names, but I would stay far away from .ASIA
.ASIA?
Who really want to register a .ASIA? Well its not my taste. I dont see much redeeming value in a .ASIA but then again, I dont consider myself a domainer either.
Just wanted to put in my 2 cents

@3DDomainNames
With technology like this, don’t go for the long names like TouchableHolography.com (even if its the exact term), these names are too long and they generally dont do well, just think about the most popular and successful websites, they are generally not long like that, have a look at sites relating to this type of technology (no, we aren’t the first) and most of the names are short and to the point….
This is the type of name that would be good for this technology, taken and developed though
HoloTouch.com

@dmpartners
• the search engines treat a dash as a space, so no need to worry about ever typing it
• statistics have continuously (and overwhelmingly) shown that people tend to click on web sites that match their exact search before any others.
• some studies, believe it or not, have been proven to give dashed names more relevance over the non dash counterpart… this is usually due to the words being more defined and easier to understand by the spiders and bots.
• If given the chance, would you trade your Vodka 3d for 3d-PC ?

Had contact this week with a MAJOR tech company on one of my better 3D names. Ill see if I can say anything should it progress to a trade.
I just noticed something about the current 3d name I am working on.
I found a medical field attachment to my 3d database domain.
Apparently there is a 3d Database Searching associated with drugs and chemical compounds. I didnt know that until today.
Even some .GOV site has stuff related to 3d Database.
“”The 3D database is being using for:
* 3D pharmacophore searches to discover novel active compounds
* Statistical investigations using the 3D distance keys””
I just thought it was interesting that I just found out that there is a medical link to my site besides the 3D stuff that we all talk about here.
I just wanted to share.

i know big companies take on side ventures like this all the time and never see the light of day but it still shows the direction everyone is leaning… still LOTS and LOTS of money being spent on 3d for it to go NO WHERE… don’t ya think?
If 3d was ‘just a fad’, wouldn’t it be over by now? a year later? this journey really hasn’t even begun yet.!!
… so be thankful for all your 3d names boys and girls… our day will come.:)
oh… and… Jackass 3d (of all movies) – in just 17 days – has just topped a HUNDRED MILLION at the box office!! .. that’s more than the Social Network (Facebook) drew in 31 days. ($79 mil)
.. Saw 3d opened up this weekend at number one as well… judging by most of twitter, a lot of people seemed to really like it so it might gain a little more steam, although, i would be surprised to see this movie even sniff $70-$75mil

tonight’s election coverage actually has a map that is analyzing all tweets from twitter today (good tweets and bad tweets/region)… just UNREAL when you really think about the POWER that Twitter has built up to be FEATURED in Election day on CNN!!
@Stuart
You crack me up, dude. I owned SolarKeyboard.com and the plural, bought in 2007. I studied it, couldn’t see a realistic use for it, so I let it expire.
It’s really weird to see what a year ago I determined was “unfeasible” suddenly appear as a realistic product.
NOW THE LESSON FOR DOMAIN BUYERS:
You never know what keyword domain based on future trends will actually pan out. I decided against this domain because I didn’t see “SE movement” on it (which drives prices and domain purchases for the majority of domainers) but when I BOUGHT this domain, it was based not on “guessing” at the time, but actual written discussion of the reality of such a product. READ THIS PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY.
What you think is worthless in FUTURE TREND DOMAINS, can’t be determined BEFORE they mature, but believe in them if you have your domain purchases based in significant research beforehand. I need to remember my own rules.
Stuart just pointed out a mistake of mine, which was “oh, no movement yet on this product, I’ll let the keyword domain “SolarKeyboard.com” expire”
Good job, Stuart.
@Stephen
Thanks mate, I also registered it via go-daddy and if you type in the promo code – ‘SCARYONE’ – you get the domain for $1 , Yes $1 , that includes .com’s, net’s, org’s, info’s etc etc……..
SOLARKEYBOARDS.COM = $1
Happy Days 🙂
I also think by 2012-13 the solar keyboard will be standard with all pc packages!

!)What does all those 3d news have to do with domains?
2)when all those great sales are going to start happening?
TIA
Domo
… when dealing in future trends, latest news reports are necesary to follow, track and even uncover MORE future trends.
3d, whether people like it or not, WILL be here and in a MASSIVE capacity at that… that’s going to disappoint a lot of people and make another group of people very happy. (hopefully all of us on this board)
As mentioned numerous times throughout these postings and with most of the news stories and reports you read, the biggest ‘problem’ with 3d at the moment is probably (in this order)
(1) – lack of content
(2) – not enough products on the shelf at the moment
(3) – the glasses
(4) – the price
but these news stories we’re all posting is showing those of us who HAVE took the leap in 3d domain names, that 3d is either:
(1) – on the way
(2) – new products soon to be released or in development.
(3) – ridding the world (and problem) of the glasses
(4) – getting more affordable
These news stories are also important to all of us here because, again, with this sector being a ‘future trend’, some of us have some long(er) term decisions to make on certain names – do we hold and renew for another year?.. do we let them go?… should i think about developing?.. some of these stories help those decisions along… and like i said earlier, may also lead to newer future trend domain names.
One of the more amazing things i have noticed when talking about 3d domain names, and i mention this a lot, is the crazy FIRE it lights under people – the people who like it – LOVE and the ones who don’t – man do they hate it!!
… the ‘3d Domainer’ has been forced to defend themselves almost from the beginning… This has helped some/most of us to actually form a bond and in some cases, friendships… it seems that pretty much whoever shares this journey with the other are all rooting for each other in some form and these articles help reinforce some of that as well.
(I know that last part was a little ‘corny’, but as corny as it is, it’s true.)
So enjoy the news as it gets posted – this has become a great source for all of us to gather our 3d updates.
nJoy All 🙂
@Domo Sapiens
“when all those great sales are going to start happening?”
Ive just sold
3DCAMERASHOP.CO.UK
3DCAMERALENSES.CO.UK
for $112
lol………
Gee Stuart, did I waste all my time giving you free advice on NOT TO SELL THESE? Or were you not listening? You’re going to kick yourself hard in a year, and maybe sooner. What’s $112 going to do for you?
You’re cheapening the market BIGTIME by your bottom-basement sales pricing, although I predict you’re going to be the only one who has done this so those domain investors looking for the “new innovators without aftermarket sales guidance” will be loving you for the easy pickings.
Stay tuned for my BIG 3D-future trend blog article coming out next week.
Think. It works sometimes.
@stephen,
I have a plan, dont worry, I have another BIG domain lined up for buying, I have already negotiated the domain for $700 so just need to sell a few little ones. Trust me, you thought 3dConsole.com was good, you aint seen nothing yet!

Just snapped up a little one for $3
3DPHOTOPRINTERS.COM
Still one of the BIGGEST hurdles going is 3d content
… Check out my latest update on
http://www.3dDvDRentals.com
all new titles added… new layouts… new info… seo updates… re categorized..etc..
.. traffic is really starting to pickup… ranking very highly on a lot of very popular 3d dvd/3d movie search strings on all the major engines…
.. have finally passed the $xxx mark this month in affiliate sales (Netflix) – site has been up since February – (first 3dtv’s were launched in april)
this site is starting to move along nicely now..
with the latest seo update, i hope to be in better position following the holidays – after the 3d tv invades many more homes 🙂
Has anyone else caught this article about the iPhone and iPod getting some 3D content?
Its kind of cheesy right now, but if it comes to fruition there may be a push from the Apple crowd to get actual 3D services and content on their devices.
We all know how the Apple crowd is… they have to have the best of everything and there is NO telling them otherwise.
This could be a the beginning of a big thing for 3D content for the Apple world.

3D IPAD wonder why they did not release this right out of the gate
all the 2d IPADs are a waste,
http://www.3DMobileNetwork.com
That’s the ticket
Would you take 1 million for it or would you wait for 10 million?
Just been talking to a V.I.P of the domaining business and he noticed I have 3DCONSOLE.COM, he gave me some advice similar to what Stephen Douglas said earlier in this thread, its nice to know –
“If you are willing to flip it “early” I will not sell it for anything less than $2500, 3D gaming and computing is a huge market and probably the biggest niche right after TVs, movies. Please note that the price of course will increase over time when 3d becomes mainstream…. might be another 5 years but it’ll be a gold mine. Good luck! ”
5 Years it is then!
I need everyones opinion on these two things ASAP
1. Is it worth investing in a 3D Porn domain with the new .xxx being lined up, will it be a waste of money?
2. If you had to pick one of these two domains which one and why
– 3DPHONES.COM
– 3DMOBILEPHONE.COM
Doing a bit of research!
thanks
i personally think .XXX is going to be a NIGHTMARE for the porn industry – that extension will be blacklisted EVERYWHERE. I can’t see how this extension is going to be a good thing for the industry.
and as for your question … because of how each country seems to refer to this differently (cellphone, mobile phone, smart phone) .. NO one in the US says ‘smart phone’ or ‘mobile phone’ (actual people, i mean)
i’d play it safe (and shorter) and go with just the 3dPhones.
(plus more versatile)
good luck 🙂
If you had to pick one of these two domains which one and why
– 3DPHONES.COM
– 3DMOBILEPHONE.COM
I would pick neither
3DMobilephones.com is better
3DPhone.com is better
@3d domain names
Every offer ive had on 3dsmartphone.com has come from the US , weird one that!! I cant get my head round who says what and where they say it!! I need a drink….
i guess you can think of it like the term ‘Personal Computer’
no one says ‘Personal Computer’ .. they say PC, or computer or laptop, or notebook.. or nowadays.. tablet… but no one in the streets utters the words ‘My Personal Computer’
(kinda) the same thing with ‘smart phone’
i don’t know a single person that actually uses the term ‘smart phone’ when talking about calling someone or buying one or researching one or even seeing the latest in the store.. or even a TV show that uses the term for anything in their dialogue
“Mobile Phone” is used more than “Smart Phone” and even then, you’d be hard pressed to find someone here actually speaking those words.
(do you actually know people who use the words ‘smart phone’ when referencing their cellphone?)
We, in the states say ‘Cellphone’ .. or ‘Call me on the Cell’.. or .. whatever .. something like that.
That’s not to say that 3dSmartphone is not a great name.
Marketing departments use the term smart phone in print and commercials and that’s all you need.. but the people never actually SAY it is all i’m pointing out. (at least, not here anyway)
Good luck with it regardless – you know i’m always around to help. 🙂
http://gigaom.com/2010/03/26/1-in-2-americans-will-have-a-smartphone-by-christmas-2011/
I do get what you are saying, however my aim when buying 3dsmartphone.com is to have a solid domain regardless if no-one across America ever says Smartphone! Having the exact name of a product was my aim not what people say on the streets. My guess is that http://WWW.SMARTPHONE.COM is worth 1 Million plus, so taking that on board Im happy with my $900 investment, Im sure at worse I can get my money back!! 🙂
Which is better domain, 3DTV.com or 3DPhone.com?
Let’s have all opinions.
Thanks
@ 3D domain names
Can I just point out that I didnt even mention 3d smartphone if you read the start of my question, I just said “what is the best out of 3dphones.com and 3dmobilephone.com”, but you prob thought heres your chance to let me know again that no-one says in America the word ‘Smartphone’, which is fine, I can handle all the diggs, Ive never heard anyone on PLANET EARTH let alone America say the word 3DCAKES but that didnt stop you registering 3DCAKES.NET, so I geuss its each to their own!!!!!….Its obvious that people dont like it when someone thinks they have a good domain, I know I brag on about mine a lot but the forum is open for others to do the same….who cares?? This is my last post on this forum and others for a while (maybe a day or two) cause Ive got better things to do than have to defend my domains over and over and over again.
Hey Stuart.. i like coffee too but it has different effects on different people 🙂
j/k
hey man .. i’m not ‘diggin’ on your name – i think it’s a great name – have said that over and over… i’m sorry if you think that you have to ‘defend’ this name for some reason (?)
you asked us to choose between ‘mobile phone’ and ‘phone’
my original answer was nothing to be all uber-sensitive about.
Maybe it was my comparison of ‘mobile’ phone to ‘smart’ phone?
That was like asking ‘Pick between ‘camera’ or ‘dslr camera’.
i own a dslr camera – i shoot with a dslr camera – NEVER call it a dslr camera.
(coincidence/shameless plug: i actually own ‘3dDslrCamera(s).com’)
Either way .. no sense in making a big thing over nothing stuart. I wish you’d stop thinking everyone was out to bring YOU down for some reason.
It’s all good though – i’ll still root for ya
… but seriously ..
… consider decaffeinated 🙂

3dCakes, btw, was not a domain name investment
… i told you.. my girl makes those huge 3′ – 4′ – 5 foot themed cakes… (pretty crazy stuff) they’re not ‘3d’ like stereoscopic.. they’re 3d as in ‘dimensional’…
http://greatestcake.com.au/pricing/3d_cakes_start_at_225_based_o
3dCakes was to build a site on – for myself… to put her ass to work (haha)
i’m trying to come up with a logo on the side now but haven’t had a chance to really dig in on it… the site, maybe by early next year should hopefully be live but no promises with the holidays upcoming.
anyway… njoy:)
Next week, FOR SURE (and you guys can all email me to hassle me if you want so I’m reminded), I’m posting the definitive 3D/Hologram future news, what’s coming up, what’s best, what’s realistic, and everything you need to know about investing in 3D/Holograms and other future trend technology domains. It will be posted on my main blog, Successclick.com
Stay tuned, you’ll see it featured on Francois’s Domaining.com (and maybe here if Em-Bee throws me a bone) so you can get the news if you aren’t already subscribed to my email newsletter or watching my blog. I’m going to begin, slowly through the holidays, but blasting out BIG in Jan 2011, the wide-open money-making domain opps for 3d/hologram future trend tech domains.
Em-bee, you can remove this post as “spam” and I’ll understand. I’ve been posting in this article’s thread for months, and I just realized where I was when I wrote this, but I need to inform everyone what’s up, hence this post. Your article’s thread has surpassed the FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY COMMENTS (550) MILESTONE and now it just seems to be a long, very long… as in VERY LONG email thread. lol.
Em-Bee has informed me that his article on 3D here (posted exactly FOUR MONTHS AGO on July 11) has become the MOST commented-on blog article in domain industry history. This means: THEDOMAINS.COM holds the record for the most comments for any article ever written in the domain industry space. Think about it… in ten years of active domain investor discussions, Em-Bee’s THEDOMAINS.COM breaks the 500 comment barrier. Take that, Elliot! 😉
If you let this comment ride, Em-Bee, I owe you one.
For the rest of the 3D/hologram participants here, I’m going to reveal the mother lode in this niche.
cheers!
(thx EMBEE)

I have about 100 3D domains set to renew. Any thoughts on the best and most reasonable place to re-up?
@dmpartners
Personally, I would not renew them all, I would trim your portfoilio down and select the best ones to renew..
Depends what extension they are as well. Some registrars are cheaper than others depending on the extension.
All are 3D dot coms and I dropped 7 already, I think we are solid at the 100 domains,. Go Daddy wants 8 hundred bucks for the entire lot for 1 year.
@dmpartners
Unless you plan to develop most of them, you will never sell 100 domains all in one niche, my advice would be to narrow it down to the better keywords and let the others go and ort even try and sell them slightly cheaper to at least get your money back.
Just advice, thats all..good luck with whatever you decide mate
@DmPartners:
Didn’t I already tell you I could break down which domains you should keep, focus on, build, resell, dump for $1 a domain? If you renew 100 domains and 20 of then are junk, you’ve just spent $160 on nothing. $100 will get you a breakdown of what you got and what is king.
you got my email, use it. I have to have a nice set of winning domains from this crew to submit for the upcoming auction I’m setting up. Find out which are your best…
All I wanted to know was who has the cheapest .com renewal . I have them at Go Daddy and they want 800 to re-up for the year. Is there a cheaper place to do this?
I’m not dumping any domains they are all good 3d .coms
Just had a $5,000 offer on 3DSmartphone.com via dn forum! 🙂
“who has the cheapest .com renewal” ?
==
Have you considered becoming a Registrar of only your names ?
Will that allow you to soon cut a deal DIRECTLY with the .COM Registry ?
The “cheapest .COM renewal” would approach the .COM Registry price… given to the premium Registrars. Some claim it is $4 per name per year.
“who has the cheapest .com renewal” ?
==
There is also a Ten-Year-Plan approach some claim is the lowest (cheapest) ?
In that plan, the Registrar (whatever that is), would plan to warehouse (enshrine) valuable names for at least 10 years. They will tell you they are YOUR names, but wink-wink nod-nod they are really “the Registrar’s”.
YOUR names get recorded as tied up for 10 years. You get some sort of annual fee. The accounting apparently becomes “creative” with accrual vs. cash, etc.
Jim
To have your own registry there are certain annual costs and fees which makes that a viable option only to those domainers that own tens of thousands domains.
Also Verisign charges the same base price to all registrars
@dmpartners
… this is the part that sucks… but ya just have cough it up another year if you believe in what you have.. not going to get all that much better than godaddy for your dot coms.
(and it won’t cost you $800 – it would cost more like $750 – for 100
Check the forums for those constant $7.47 coupons)
if you have any dot us’s or uk’s or tv’s… moniker is great for transferring – save you a lot of money over there for anything in that realm. (not too sure on every extension though)
good luck 🙂

Verizon Wireless launches 3G mobile site in Philadelphia
Verizon Wireless has expanded its 3G mobile network in Philadelphia,
We are 1 letter away folks,
http://www.3DMobileNetwork.com
@dmpartners
Unfortunately, 1 letter to a big company like Verizon is 1 letter too much mate, especially when they have 2 very different meanings (3D versus 3G)
Your right Giles big difference between the two.
3G is outdated and 3D is on the way full steam ahead.
It is the next generation of mobile devices.
Japan is about to release a new 3D Mobile phone in about 2 weeks,
The US will have full 3D glasses free mobile phones in the first quarter of 2011 and that will be the start of the 3DMobileNetwork. Who will get there first ?
Verizon, AT&T , Sprint , Apple, Virgin,
Who knows . It could be 3G 4G 5G 6G who cares,
There is only 1
3DMobileNetwork.
Case Closed,.
“To have your own registry [REGISTRAR?] there are certain annual costs and fees which makes that a viable option only to those domainers that own tens of thousands domains.
…Also Verisign charges the same base price to all registrars”
==========================================
Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and others are Registrars with a FEW domains
(…the ICANN System favors those with Deep Pockets…)
By the way, as far as I know, even if you have Deep Pockets, you can not buy
a seat on the New York Stock Exchange for a hobby. ICANN could have
required a certain number of .COM Registrar transactions per month or you are no longer a .COM Registrar. There could have also been a distribution hub layer (or Middle Office) that would toss stray registrations to waiting Registrars.
The original NSF Three-Layer Model was much more fair, more robust, and
was designed to prevent what now has happened, one major Registrar dominates
the .COM industry. That is a failure of the ICANN U.S. DOC NTIA Model.
Note: The .CO Registry has selected Real.Registrars Only. Many people are likely registering .CO domains via what they “think” are Registrars, but are not.
The .CO registration agents are likely a Reseller several layers from the Registry.
The .CO Registry has proved that can work, at least of “the Launch”. Now .CO
enters a critical phase, similar to the Space Shuttle without the booster rockets.
===
“…Also Verisign charges the same base price to all registrars”
…
it might be best for you to live in that blissful myth

Who said 3D Mobiles are not gonna be big! This is just the start!!!
dont forget about HOLOGRAM domains chaps, holograms will be BIGGER than 3D – you heard it here first.
and yes, i own some hologram crackers 😉
wait…
.. hologram domain names?
they have those?
🙂
@Kyle Parker:
Ummm… it’s great you’re going for Hologram domains. Go to this site to see where “hologram” domains have been part of the team for five years now. This where it’s all going to start for you. Successclick.com You’re going to be pleasantly surprised and informed, and educated!
(Shameless promotion, Embee, I know… just hit me on the head or something).

I am just seeing if this ever happened.
I would like to see what your thoughts are on this subject and what you think the realistic future is on the 3D industry.
Outside of your shameless plugs (that you admit to) for your website, it would be nice to see your whole perspective on this subject.
Cheers
the holy-grail for 3d/holograms will be when they are capable of projecting 3d holograms into mid-air without the need for a screen. we’re at least 10 years away from this being possible. any breakthroughs in quantum computing may speed-up this timeline however.
their are many great uses for 3d in other areas in the meantime, but be aware 3d domains are time-sensitive, whereas, and its just my oppinion, hologram technologies are not. which is why i’ve invested in hologram domains moreover 3d domains.
Hey guys, this is a great discussion, it does seem like the 3D thing is just about to go mainstream, I bought a few 3D domains earlier this year, wondering if anybody thinks some of these may be worth the more then the reg fees soon? I’m not sure how long to hold onto these or try selling them now as the interest seems to be there. Any help would be appreciated, ta

Alex, not trying to be mean, but that’s nearly $1000 per year in fees that could and should go towards something more worth your time, effort and money. You’d have a hard time getting a penny for any of those from domainers or end users. They are nothing but a liability. Let ’em go and *focus*
Hey Alex
At a quick glance, I think these are best 2 names in the group
3DPhoneReview.com
3DLaptopApps.com
There are too many hyphens in the wrong place IMO, try and place the hyphen in a good position and only with strong keywords (3D-Keyword.com) and try and avoid .net if you dont have strong keywords. I have some 3D .net names, but i have tried to keep these names to the strongest keywords possible.
I dont see much value in the names like these, I would try and sell them for cheap on domain forums to try and get some money back or stick some little minisites on them
I think you will struggle to sell them though, too many acronym

Good luck
hmmm, thanks for your reply guys, I am a bit confused as 3d smartphone (which hasn’t been released yet) just had a bid at 5k and so the related searches being:
3d smart phone review.
3d smart phone apps.
3d smart phone gaming
3d smart phone software
etc
I didnt think I could be to out of the ball park as must be relevant in some way when these smart phones are released? maybe I’m looking at this differently but just going through a quick keyword search, eg
3d led tv = 110,000
3d lcd tv – 22,000
3d hd tv = 49,500
3d gaming = 22,000
3d laptop = 33,100
and an example of rising searches for 3d tvs being
1. samsung led tv +1,200%
2. samsung led 3d +1,150%
3. 3d led tv +800%
4. led 3d +800%
5. led tv +800%
6. 3d tv samsung +350%
7. samsung 3d +350%
8. samsung tv +350%
9. 3d tv sony +170%
those search trends are all going up up, especially with stuff like 3d tv gaming (gaming being a 60 billion dollar industry) going main stream soon, 3d phones being released in 2 weeks etc etc, forecasts that 80% of tvs coming out as 3d in the next few years, Every night on the TV its 3d tv this, 3d gaming revolution that, cant see those domains being worth less then 7 bucks reg fee or as a total waste of time / money as andrew suggests?
I was thinking if I was interested in 3d tvs and typed in 3d tv, and there was a domain saying 3d tv review or 3d tv store (hyphen or no hyphen) that would be a good keyword match to my interest? guess I must have it all wrong! bugger
Alex
Be very careful with your Samsung names, these are infringing on a trademark and can only lead to trouble (lawsuit)
I think Android is a trademark as well I may be wrong there though.
yes thanks Giles, That is totally correct and will not be using those domains at all, I didn’t realize that at the time but those couple are now just set to expire 🙂
Alex
I agree with Giles and yes Android is trademarked, if you ever notice the fine print on a TV commercial you will see they always say “android” is being licensed from Lucas Films (starwars)
@alex
… happy to see you catching the great big 3d wave.. wish you luck.
.. ‘generally speaking’, hyphenated domains are a very hard sell when you have more than two words and you just throw a dash in between one of the words at random, it’s … well.. it looks funny (know what i mean).
You can almost make the point that you’d be better of having the dash between all the words rather than at random just cause it looks and reads better.
**although, i should also point out on your behalf that Buy3d-TV.com sold for $800 just this year.
but to be perfectly honest (if i may)…
… these are third, fourth and fifth rank names in each of those respective categories. A whole lot of options will be exhausted by the time they get to you.
plus.
Your target audience is obviously going to be someone who’s not looking to spend big money and are going to be, at least somewhat disappointed that they are ‘settling’ on this kind of name, so keep that in mind also (these will be nickel and dimers) – these are not exactly high premium names being sought by high end buyers (no offense)
…. but if you’re good at sales and tracking people down and making something happen… then i think these following names here should still be able to get you at least your money back by year’s end (?):

(that’s something like $50 a name on average.)
.. and a little ‘visual’ tip..
.. it may not seem important (or even almost petty), but it’s probably even more important with your names than most (because of the dashes)….
… when listing names like that, try to make it is clear to read as possible .. UpperCaseLowerCase ALWAYS looks best.
Trust me – it helps!
in any event… good luck to you with your names 🙂
Android is trademarked, allthough you would’nt believe it looking at how many *android* domains are turning up in google, so i really think they’d have a job enforcing the trademark now TBH 🙂
Alex, i would consider investing in the aftermarket instead of trying to hand-register jems.
3d-gaming.co.uk is an OK domain. if you put a game review blog on it and work hard with SEO you’ll rank #1 in the UK, then feed some affiliate links into it and you’ll recover your losses+++ from the others.
this is the way forward for you now…
regards.
So it seems like the subject has gone silent over here. I would like to see people picking up the conversation again.
I think there is still a lot to cover on the 3D subject and more every day.
So I decided to test out the water a bit on this subject.
Since there are no predominant 3D forums (and those that are made are basically geared toward one defined subject or another), I put a test one up on my site 3dDatabase(dot)com.
Its a fully functional, lower end forum for the time being. Right now it is set up as default just to test out the waters. I just want to see if there is room in the market to have an open forum all about 3D. Any subject on 3D (since there are many), not limited to TVs, Movies, Medical, Games, Domain Names, Glasses… and the list can go on.
Its my thought that we should bring it all in to one place.
Maybe I am completely wrong but I just thought I would put it out there. I look forward to hearing your opinions and thoughts.
From an article on 3D news
3D laptops and desktops are already here — but the only people spec’ing up to use them are hard-core gamers and toddlers watching Up for the umpteenth time. The real driver to push multiple dimensions into the mainstream will be 3D operating systems and the 3D Web.
Apple has already filed a patent for a ‘multidimensional desktop’ (we’re guessing it’s not referring to an ability to travel through time, although that would be nice) and rumours are flying of a possible 3D desktop and navigation in Windows 8.
The kickstarter for 3D websites is likely to be X3D, a 3D graphics standard that’s trying to muscle its way into the HTML5 party. X3D is an open source effort that’s already part of the MPEG-4 specification and is compatible with next-generation scalable vector graphic systems. Software teams are already working on a massive 3D model of the Earth, ways to animate people in 3D and developing new types of user interface so you don’t try to push your mouse, like, into the screen, man.
Likely release date: First X3D websites — 2011. 3D OS — 2012. Mass adoption of 3D Web — 2013.

Get ’em cheap
I dont think the whole 3D Glasses thing will be around very long. Just look at the push already to get TVs that dont need Glasses. I will give it another 2-5 years before we have some decent breakthrough and 3D Glasses will be a thing of the past.
Until then, Gucci, Oakley, and Calvin Klein have all come out with designer 3D Glasses.
So there may be still a small market for the 3D glasses, but I dont expect that window to stay open very long.
Cheers

Good luck
Im aware of these 3. Gap does not mean Jeans Guess does not mean Jeans either,
Sony means Sony for sure but for 7 bucks we kept it, GAP can mean many things,
If we set up a Jeans site that would be an issue. Guess the same thing,
@dm
… wow!!!
… i have to ask…
… can you tell me your top five names from this group and “realistically”, what price range you will be ‘expecting’ for each?
@dmpartners
Its not about $7 mate, whether its $7 or $7000, its about infringing on someone’s trademark.
C’mon, what else would you use Gap3D or Guess3D for???
Have a look at the ads on Guess3D, its GUESS handbag ads, parking is benefitting financially from company trademarks.
GAP could be a company Global Asian Products 3d , Not sure about Guess.
Guess3d could be a game. Sony I agree with ,

Go daddy put those there. We had nothing to do with what’s parked there,
How would a company use Boobtube3d are you kidding me?
@dmpartners, Guess wont a give a $#@#$ who put them there, its your name, just dont park it and that would fix it
BoobTube3D.com, not kidding at all, can you explain for me. I presume you are talking about an adult site right? I think Boob3D.com, T*ts3D.com, Boobs3D,co would be ok, but dont see the potential in your name, I could be totally wrong though? Its also an item of clothing if you want to look at it that way?
These have potential though
YOGA3D.COM
STUD3D.COM (3D Dating site)
Good luck though
Giles
I have to turn the park off I never turned it on. BoobTube3d can be a youtube type of site Or a porn site with boobs in 3d,, In the 50’s a TV was called a Boobtube, The idea was to have a 50s style site in 3d with 3d home videos on the site, That’s the fun who knows what these names will bring.
ok cool mate, good luck
Remove the name servers, that will do it
so, is anyone else looking at investing in hologram domains as well as 3d domains names?
@kyle
check out my sig and look under ‘holographic domain names’ … would love to know what you think – i have about 40 in total – some real studs floating around in there.
and i don’t know if SD has a definitive list posted anywhere, but his holo names are amazing!!! Probably tops in the business.
dm, i think eyes3d.com is a very good niche domain. you could sell 3d glasses on that and do quite well i think.
Kyle YES eyes3d.com is a great one, Not sure if 3d glasses are going to stick around.
But either way it’s got potential.
3d glasses wont be sticking around for long no, but 3D contact lenses will probably proceed, which will actually fit in quite neatly with optical computing…
3d domain names im not sure how to view your sig?
Kyle wow never thought of that..
@Kyle – click on my name 🙂
3d Domains
Nice site..
thank you 🙂
i just redesigned the whole thing .. adding a news page to coincide and highlight certain names (as we speak!). Think it can help… also have a few other changes and implementations in place for nice change also… need more time on it though.
I was planning a ‘relaunch’ beginning of next week… under a more reputable dot com… this will soon be ‘Domain Names 3d (.com)’ …( it’s actually setup now that way)…
but i have some server stuff to take care of still and htaccess files ..etc..
i’m a little bummed about it actually.. i got my little dot info to a top 2.5 million site..
but that’s where the delay is now .. getting ready to redirect the traffic and not lose anything along the way…. so hard to give up serps… but…
.. one step back – two steps forward i guess.
Does everybody agree that i should relaunch under the dot com or leave it as it is?
yes nice 3d/hologram domains you have over there 3d domain names. yes use a .com, it looks more professional than a .info imo. you could still use your .info as a blog to drive traffic to your main site, but do your main sales patter on a .com. and best of luck with all your ventures.
What do you guys think of my new buy
3DHORROR.COM
Good buy for $215 ????? Any feedback would be great, good or bad!

Hi SLATE,
Well, Em-Bee has reached his blog article on 3D domains into the amazing 630+ comments. He clearly NAILED the title of “MOST COMMENTS EVER ON ANY DOMAIN BLOG” in our history (no other domain forum, blog, news site can claim this title).
With the blessing of Em-Bee, I’ve opened up my blog to posts and free advice to all domainers investing in 3D and other Future Trend domains for certain relevant questions in this sector.
Of course, Em-Bee has injected the subject of 3D for domainers like no blogger ever has. I owe him a serious bottle of single malt Scotch, which I hope to present to him at Domainfest 2011. For now, in over five years I’ve been silently building up all the domains niches, information, and direction for future technology trends that are now, and will be in the coming years, creating domains that from OOTB pricing, will make you some money with a few years maturity.
You can see my blog dedicated to this subject (with the blessing of Em-Bee) at Successclick.com. You’ll get a lot of eyeballs here, but my blog will be more detailed in addressing your questions about your 3D and other FT domains.
As always, Em-Bee’s blog remains the most-read blog for domain professionals, so continue reading every article he writes.

@ Stephen Douglas_Successclick.com
First off, I would like to say thank you for putting together that post on your Blog.
I have been following this subject on multiple sites/forums. I am always interested in what other peoples take on any given subject are. Especially those who have been pioneers on the given topic (like yourself), and thought ahead of common rank and file.
I have learned some time ago that if you are going to ever be a top producing person (in what ever field you are interested), then you must get ahead of the power curve and ride the wave to the top. Much in the same fashion that you outlined in your post above for domains.
I would like a common place for people to come together on one give subject… but not just from one ilk or the other. In other words, this blog, who has set a standard with number of comments basically only attracts domainers or people who are interested in domaining. I dont think I have actually come across someone who has a general interest in Gaming … especially in 3D and the technology advancements associated with it. Nor have I come across anyone who has an interest in the 3D medical advancements (which there are many), or any other kind of interest that includes the world of 3D.
I fully understand that this is a Domaining site and it is filled with Domainers. I get that. And all the other sites that have some attribute to 3D are filled with their respective ilk to discuss their topics of the day. Just in my opinion it would be nice for everyone to come to one single place under the umbrella of 3D (in this case) and discuss their topics there.
I am sure as discussions pan out, you will see that an advancement in once area will lead to advancements in other areas. I am just thinking it would be nice…
Cheers
Stephen
Thanks for the kind words and looking forward to consuming that bottle with you in LA.
Brand SPANKING New OOTB:
• Buy4KTV.com
• 4KTablet.com
• 4KRecorder.com
• Telepresence4K.COM
🙂
I dont know about this 4K thing.
I seen some push for 4K TVs…. but there is not really much out there on them.
The only real thing that I can gather is that they last longer then conventional HD TVs and have better resolution.
But will it over take the whole 3D thing?
I will have to wait to get more information on that before I can make an actual judgment.
But thanks for sharing and there are some nice pick ups you have there.
Keep your fingers crossed…. There is defiantly a market for 4K…. just how big is the question.
Be one of the first to develop a site for them and corner the market if they do take off.
Cheers
Thanks Slate 🙂
4K has some hurdles to clear (global compatibility being one of the biggest), but make no mistake on 4k being a HUGE deal!!
The only real ‘gamble’ i took in that batch was the ‘tablet’ one.
There’s no real evidence of a 4k tablet coming out anytime soon, but with the push being made in mobile computing – most notably the tablets, i took the chance.
4k is already trickling out but it is seriously expensive (and supposed to be a major difference maker from the present 1080)… you should start seeing a bit more 4k products coming out this year.
… but the other 3? VERY happy about those.
if you have the time one day, do a little digging and you will see 🙂
nJoy!
Have you checked out 4K HDTV…. There seems to be a leaning that way (as far as TVs are concerned) .
Still, If you jump ahead of the curve and make those names into sites now before the subject really starts to take off… then you will be a leader on the subject when it gains in popularity.
Still…. It will have a following.
Cheers

I prefer 3DMammogram.com

3D domains becoming a hot trend: Have you started buying?
“Mike Berkens has wrote about it. Stephen Douglas has wrote about it. Combined, the number of comments for both stories has reached nearly 1,000. I even wrote about it this week in a story headlined: 3D.com delivers an amazing pitch for its domain name, after reading Stephen Douglas’ story and stumbling upon the changes to the 3D.com web site that had transformed from a parked page to a web site in recent months.
When it comes to 3D, there is definitely a trend taking off in 2010 with companies and individuals getting into the mix of things by developing 3D movies, computers, televisions, cameras, games and a slew of 3D-enabled products and technologies.
3D Domain Names
With domain names, it’s always a gamble especially if the name isn’t a category-killing name, but as 2010 sees an increase in 3D products, you can bet that most 3D domain names worth buying will be gone soon”

gotta love it 🙂
@dm partners
Thanks for your expert opinion, I’ll keep you in mind when i need my other domains appraising!
Just noticed I have another few 3d domains in one of my accounts –
3DCELLPHONE.DE
3DPROJECTORS.DE
Stu:
It’s a shame.. you and my brother are backwards…
his dot come should change places with your ‘de’ and then you’d REALLY have something…. he has:
3dProjektor.com
– – – – –
and let the great smart/mobile/cell/ phone debate continue… (haha)
i have these ‘misplaced’ 3d names:
3dCellphone.co.uk
3dCellphones.co.uk
3dCellular.co.uk
I know everybody says ‘no one says cell phone in uk’ and yes, this is, for the most part, true…
looking at the stats, google uk search volume shows
‘cell phone’ at 2,900/mo
‘smart phone’ at 3,600/mo
‘cellular’ … at 4,400 a month
and in a landslide
‘mobile phone’ searched 40,500 a month
so i think these still have a chance at a nice return once we’re all in full stream.
– – – – – – –
my only 3d – de name:
Free-3D.de
i’m not too familiar with the actual sale… but FREE-SMS.de sold for $162,150.00 back in January… different, yes, but similar.
but like said… i don’t know if a working business model was sold along with it.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!!
* Extra special thanks for your blog, the outlet, the connections, the talk, the bickering, the anticipation, the speculating, the advice, the showcasing, the updates, and of course, our names.
nJoy everybody
@ 3d domain names
Nice names there mate,you might do well with them. A lot of .de names sell when the word attached is in English as described in your Free-SMS.de . Both of my domains are in English so you never know! Fingers crossed!
Em-Bee, if you think YOU’RE looking forward to that bottle of scotch I owe you, let me know what you want and I WILL GET IT FOR YOU. Craig Rowe (WhyPark.com) showed me how to treat good domainer buddies when the love is there. lol
Let me know what you want, I’ll make sure you get it. (email me if you like). I’ll agree right now that I won’t drink anywhere near half of that fifth of magic. Dan Warner showed Craig and me in 2009 Domainfest how to properly drink scotch and then educate the invited guests about the power of domains based on his genius mind… Craig and I were scotched up and impressed, and Dan rose to the occasion and directed us in the right direction. Probably, Dan is one of the 20 smartest domain experts in the world after listening to him. At least that bottle of rare Ballantines revealed that… ‘-)
I want to publicly thank you again for allowing me to start my blog on 3D/hologram/Future Trend domains using your lead-in here. I have more comments on this article than 20 of my past blog articles combined— within a WEEK.
My hope is that everyone investing in 3D domains gets at least a 500% profit on their purchases.
SLATE: My blog is opened up for your comments and domain promotion for 3D. Please limit it to ten per post. Come on by!
Happy Thanksgiving to all and thanks for this board, I enjoy the entire website.

Not sure if you knew that,
@ Stephen Douglas_Successclick.com
Thank you, I have been to your blog and made a comment in regards to the coming names of either Holo or Holographic.
I have hedged bets with my domains to only two 3D domains. I accept that they will defiantly be a force in the near future and I fully believe that they will be around at least for the next 5-8 years until such a time that Holographics/Holograms catch up and become main stream. I am happy with my two domain names. I think they are broad and generic enough to serve me well in the years to come.
I will continue to drop by both sites and learn what others have to say on the 3D subject.
Cheers and Happy Thanks Giving.
@ Stephen Douglas_Successclick.com
Congrats Steve on your continued success. I always came away from our mastermind meetings feeling your genius. Hope to hook up with you when I am back in Portland, have a happy holiday.

Just noticed i have 3DHORROR.CO.UK to go with 3DHORROR.COM 🙂
oh……and 3DHORRORMOVIES.CO.UK
Just sold 3DCONSOLE.COM – $3000 – payment pending!
Who is the mystery buyer? Please tell.
stuart…
hey man.. you should keep this a little more quiet until your deal is finalized.
food for thought
I have these 2 names as well
3DHomeCinemas.com
3DHomeProjector.com
You sold way too cheap Stuart 🙁
Ive already turned down 5 figure offers on mine and see crappy ones going to small end users for $XXXX.
@Josh
I am just curious… what names do you have that you turned down 5 digit offers?
@slate
3DBaseball.com
3DLaptop.com
I know for sure 3dlaptop was from a software company, well known. IP logs are checked over coffee before bed lol
looks like 3D sales are starting to ripen.congrats to all that have killer 3D domains! i guess i’ll have to wait until holograms are the talk of the town to cash in mine
@Josh
Not sure if I sold too cheap, I paid $700 for it 3 months ago so Ive just made $2300 in 3 months. Your 3DLAPTOP.COM is in a different league to 3DCONSOLE.COM so Im happy, anyway the $2300 ive made is a quater of what i need to buy a BIG 3D domain! Ill give you 2 clues –
1. Ends in a .com
2.The owner has over 9,000 visits a week!
….Ive said from the start Im not here to play games, top of the tree is where i want to be!!
Oooops….I meant 9,000 visits a month!
Congrats Stuart, being able to find the next name isn’t easy, you are learning fast 🙂
My fear for you was being able to jump into another name with as big of a roi, looks like you might have found it!
There’s an ongoing debate about whether science fiction and fantasy set the tone for future innovation and technology. In other words, no matter how complex or improbable, if the idea is intriguing enough, eventually the details (and physics) will be worked out. On that basis, “The Next Big Thing” is limited only by our ability to imagine and/or predict the future.
For those critics who feel compelled to heckle, “Oh yeah, if that’s true, how come there are no Unicorns?” – suffice it to say, providers of venture capital for genetic research in this area are, for the moment, apparently not sufficiently intrigued.
With that being said, the following list of dotCOM domain names represent future gateways for a diverse group of developing concepts, ideas and themes:

Of course, you can always give your vision of the future a jump start by actually defining the concept yourself and putting it into the public arena for discussion.
Case in point – Google any of the following:

Thanks for hijacking the thread. What a waste
his life or the post?
the deal is off, the buyer wants to pay me in stages, not up for that, there goes my big buy!!
Stu
Thats why we never put our sales on here until the deal is “done”
Its easy for a buyer to search 3Dconsole.com and then read all the comments people are saying?
Just some advice buddy
@I know mate but to be honest no-one has said a bad word about 3dconsole.com, just that i was an idiot for selling!
………that would make the buyer think they have a good deal if anything!
Its just a general rule of domaining mate
@ I know mate, I just get a bit giddy at times , lesson learnt!
Stuart
He can pay you in installments just don’t turn anything over until the 3k is in the pot. Give him 90 days no refunds , If he does not pay he loses the money,
@ Dmpartners
Thanks for the advice but 3DCONSOLE.COM is not for sale anymore!
lets keep things possitive and on topic if we can…
is anyone getting increased traffic on their 3D domains? i have noticed over the last few days my parked 3D’s have been getting traffic and clicks.
Where is the “Freaking Bleeping Beef” ?
Is there an actual list of * factual Sales? Paid for?
3d has peaked , I wouldn’t be surprise if soon becomes passé
*Only after a Domain is Paid and transfered to the New owner …it’s a “sale”,
a lot of Auctions/Escrow Private Transactions go bust for one reason or another? yet they are sound advertised as “Sales” , unrealistically IMO.
“Where is the “Freaking Bleeping Beef” ?
Is there an actual list of * factual Sales? Paid for?
Its on aisle 4.
Several sales completed and most around $X,XXX mark, there are at least 4-5 in this discussion alone and 2 more on the forums, one just last week at I think $2500.
Giles has turned down at least 2 $XXXX offers I know of as I know the buyer(s).
I have truned down offers at 5 figs for both of mine (only 2 I still own) and both from end users. The beef is all around you if you, the better names mentioned by MB have surely all received and continue to get offers.
Reseller or enduser, money is changiung hands.
That’s the best you have?
seriously.
Any of those actual sales to end users? please don’t post 1 or 2
Turned down offers mean nothing.
If things don’t improve Pronto I will consider them “Dead weight” the kind domainers (we) keep out of pride.
right, thats 2 questions asked and no replies, thats me unsubscribed from this thread, i’ll now concentrate on running my own blog. its a shame the tread has turned into a method of people plugging their own domains as opposed to debating the general wider market, thats domainers for you! – goodbye and good luck with your 3D domains.
Your lucky to get that much from me, remember.
Mmmm… 3DBacon,
I love that stuff, it goes great with my Digital Eggs and Virtual Toast.
Lol.
The big fault with many of the tech-based names is that people don’t shop that way.
Example-I just bought a “3D” smart phone in Japan, and I’m sure the other phone makers will follow suit. The thing is, almost nobody will search for “3d phone.” It’s just a feature, not a new product line. It will get a small bump in searches as it’s phased in, and then will quickly fade into acceptance as just another standard feature…like Technicolor. Since that small bump is now, we can see that it’s 1000 exact searches with low advertiser competition. And 3d phone is one of the better 3d names I’ve seen.
@ Domo Sapiens
They best way IMO is to buy 3d tech domains, you cant go wrong. If someone wants to buy a 3D Laptop then this is what they search for, same with 3d tv, 3d cameras, 3d phones, 3d projector etc….. So to have 3dlaptop.com or 3dprojector.com is a certain winner, the obvious one is the 3dtv.com, what would you guess the value of this domain to be? I would put a figure of around $750,000 plus ( My estimate only) so this to me says that putting a 3d infront of a tech product that’s 3d is a dead cert winner. On the other hand people who reg domains like christmas3d.com, ed3d.com, 3d744.com, 3dsmiles.com will not have too many backorders.
@Bill f
Do you think people who want to buy a 3d tv search for “tv” only ? No mate, they search for “3D TV” Fact. Please do your research.
@ Stuart,
what about 3DOrangeJuice.com any future in that?
@Dean, what kind of domains are you currently vested in?
You guy’s are bordering on the absurd, but most visionaries are pretty wacky people. Back when I was a teen they made a little purple pill that made everything 3D, it was called LSD.
……I might look on google for 3d glasses but i might just type in “glasses”, lol
@ Dean
Go register LS3D.COM
@ Josh,
pretty much the same crap as you guys. I launched this site a week ago, but it’s still in it’s infancy exhibitv.com
Nice one Stuart 🙂
Also nice to see a few old know it all’s who don’t actually own anything themselves stop by for a chat.
Unless you guys want to share what it is YOU personallly own and havent borrowed to buy yourself?
LSD3.com is already taken, but I would have if it was available, excellent suggestion Stuart.
Personally I have 2 names, both good, both worth more than I paid if I sold today, that to me is all that counts. Where it goes, what others do, don’t care, making money is the end game.
Stopping by a discussion just to mock and laugh is rather rude and speaks volumes of one’s character.
If one can’t laugh at one’s self, than you are taking yourself too seriously.
There is no reason to laugh at myself, laugh all the way to the bank, yes but not at myself, not when money is concerned.
Are there now 1000’s of crap 3d names now reg’d, absolutely, are there a handful ( dozens) worth something, yes. I am with those who scoff at such stupidity but do not include the wiser investments or the industry altogether, that is foolish.
I think that many of you are still missing the whole point of a 3d domain name and i seriously don’t think ALL the money is going to solely be in the product names. 3d Product Names will still be HUGE, but in no way will they be the only ones.
They’re safER bets, indeed, but the whole point of a 3d domain name is to signify that you have a 3d website… this is NOT just relegated to products, sorry.
For example, there are already two, very rich, very SOLID industries implementing 3d into their websites and professions (and domain names)… the Real Estate industry and the Travel industry.
Neither one of these will need or require ANY products, but these two niche’s will net some big money, not to mention, being considered trend setters. Many more are following.
Some other examples of a 3d web…
…how about the auto industry and the way we will view cars online?… things will ALL be different and what better way to say it quicker and more precise than with a 3d domain name?
3d Dating ring a bell?… how about maybe 3d Porn…. streaming 3d and 3d broadcasts? …online 3d movie sites?… no hope in those industries either? C’MON!!!
None of those industries will require a single product and every single one of them will flourish GREATLY with a 3d domain name… and i don’t mean just the obvious, category killers… there will be plenty of second and third tier names that will become very attractive to end users in the coming year(s).
I’m barely scratching the surface on the possibilities that have nothing to do with products and to do more with their service and website.
Ask SD about what products are needed for ‘3d Advertising’… or 3d Marketing… or how much money a great 3d template site can make for web sites….
… o yeah.. haha .. and another HUGELY growing niche within a very profitable industry happening right now .. 3d Weddings… BLOW-ING-UP right now!!
i can keep going on and on… but the only reason for that is … i CAN!! haha
and the reason I CAN is because i have about 200+ Googgle alerts set to notify me EVERY SINGLE MOMENT of what’s going on in the world of 3d and every single little niche and sub niche i just touched on… not to mention all the other research and paths i take myself on while reading…
… with so much news it makes it real easy to invest in what is REAL… the one’s with the most to say are usually the one’s with the least knowledge on the situation… perhaps you should spend a good month or so looking a little deeper into 3d technology and seriously see what’s going on… .. and yes, you will need the full month just to be able to speak intelligently about the matter – there’s seriously a TON to learn.
but in your defense
‘yes’ – there are plenty of seriously BAD 3d names floating around – and ‘no’ – 3d names DO NOT apply to EVERYTHING…
… but what makes this niche any different from any other? .. there are WAY, WAY more seriously BAD, NON 3d related domain names out there than 3d at the moment.. what exactly is the point?
anyway..
** europe3d, travel3d, 3ddating, 3dweb, 3d-templates, history3d, 3derotica, 3dpornvideo… all of those are non product, 3d domain names that sold for $1,000 or more in the past seven months alone… and those are just the ones that i know of at the moment.
Josh,
common relax enjoy the ride, your too serious. Maybe the banana suit is getting to ya, sit down and have a 3DBeer on me.
This Dean guy has no idea, hes just hear to troll, the sooner you ignore him, the sooner he will go away. He’s looking for the reactios you are giving him.
I mean look at his comments, 3DBacon, 3DOrangeJuice daaaah
I believe the years of LSD abuse have loosened a few things upstairs lol
Giles,
I would be willing to bet your sitting at your computer wearing a banana suit right now. Is that why you took offense?
The Banana suit made me too serious….. oooook.
Just kidding, I am wearing one too!
Ok, just came around to see what you guys were up to, inject some humor into an otherwise serious discussion. Check out my EXHIBITV.Com site, I will be adding new 3D Vids later this week.
Ciao,
Dean
Im opening my domain shop soon,I will be showcasing my 3d and other future tech domains, might even through in a forum –
CLICKSNAKE.COM
🙂
*throw in a forum………….Ooops!
….LSD is still wearing off….lol
If your wondering name, I was talking to a end-user about all my 3D Domains and he said ” your turning into a right click snake arnt you”……..so I thought im having that!
@ 3d domain names
I still think 3d tech is most profitable! People searching for a product makes the domain valuable, if in 2 years time 1,000,000 people are searching for “3d tv” then this domain is worth millions and millions, how many people will be typing in ” travel 3d” or “history 3d” in 2 years time? ..making the domain name only valuable to the owner and not because of the search results. Yes 3d porn , 3d advertising, 3d movies, 3d channel and 3d newspapers etc etc…are great names and will get to the $xx,xxx mark soon . A couple of months ago I tried to sell 3dsmartphone.co.uk to the uk public and i had no replies, why? My guess was because no-one is searching for them keywords yet. I do get what your saying but this is the way I think and Ive not done too bad so far…….Search results sells domains to a wider bunch of buyers than just nice names ! FACT!
You want answers? Ask your questions on my blog. Anything you want to know about these domains, I probably can help you. However… you have to ask me first! I’m discussing these issues on my blog with other domain investors. Em-Bee has allowed this conversation to move to my blog, until I hear otherwise.
@Stephen you’re dealing with forces beyond your control. this comment thread is bigger than all of us now. 🙂 soon it will reach 1000 comments. no one knows what happens after that. some say it will go supernova! some say the universe will fall back on itself and rip the fabric of space time. it may be too late to stop it 😀
@ Stephen
I think you blog is great but having to wait several hours for your post to go on the board is a little off putting ( I know you dont want any old crap going on though), I would do it like this one then we can have real time debates!
there’s some great stuff happening over at your site there stephen… the constant communication with your posters is great to see and read.
but i do agree that your site is not, what you would call ‘Fluid’.
It has found its way in to my morning reading 🙂
… and while this builds its own anticipation, it probably makes it harder to expand on conversation to its fullest online potential.
Just think… how many of these posts on this thread since it started have come within a one hour block of back n’ forth rhetoric of some kind.
just food for thought…
… i’ll still be there – and here – regardless. I enjoy this thread a lot.
Best of luck to both of you.

@Em-Bee — you crack me up, even though the thought of you breaking the “1000 comment blog response barrier” is frightening to comprehend! Will the Universe reverse itself and we all start over brand new, as smart 10 year olds? If that happens, can we beat Ricky S. up on the playground before he discovers the power of domains? 😉
@Diana – I’ve promoted Em-Bee on all my 3D posts, and have updated him on my leeching ways. I already had half the respondents writing to me prior to posting on Em-Bee’s post anyways, and Em-bee featured one of my 3D domains in his article. It doesn’t matter, because it seems the 3D/hol0 crowd likes to post on both our sites. I just have more time and direct experience to answer the questions about these types of domains than Em-bee does. Conversely, Em-bee can buy me out ten times over (maybe… heh — and when he wants to buy me out, I’m listening!)
I got my payback deals in place with Em-Bee… and those who know me know that I am extremely LOYAL to anyone who is on my team, was on my team, or an ally and friend. There’s a reason why my nickname is “Varangian Jarl”. Look up “varangian” on wikipedia to understand. If you’re my friend, you’re safe at every level, because I’ll gladly fight for you. And, if Em-bee didn’t like me, he’d prevent my comments here to be posted, and I wouldn’t hold it against him.
Either way, Em-bee’s article is over 650 comments, I’m at 223… I think he’s going to beat me to 1000 comments first… and I’ll congratulate him like men do… by dancing on the top of the Luxor light in Vegas… drunk on a $150 bottle of scotch, and both of us trying to prop up David Copperfield cuz he magically appeared, but for some reason, was blitzed on a sixpack of Coors Light. Em-Bee and I would just shake our heads at him, but we’d keep him from falling off. The best thing we’d come up with is having Copperfield spread-eagled on the light so you’d see a guy’s silhouette 1000 yards in the sky. Of course, we’d be laughing our asses off, and our wives would be pissed off because they didn’t know where we were. This would be more exciting than losing $1000 at a blackjack table with Dan Warner in less than 10 minutes. (that happened)
You saw the move “Hangover”, yes? lol
EmBee is a class act, and I’m glad to see him reach a “comment Defcon 5” with a 3D domain article he wrote, admitting he nor the other major domain players don’t own any domains in my company’s realm.
Let me put it this way: With 11 years of direct domain investing experience at every level of domaining, would I take a “Wild Hare Ride” on a golf cart with Em-Bee or Owen Frager, where we were racing to domain treasure payoffs?
ANSWER: Em-Bee would be at the wheel of that cart I was on, and I’d be humming the Caddyshack soundtrack.
Owen Frager who?

A bottle of Blue is going to run you more like $200 than $150.

Ok in an attempt to bring this site back to some order in regards to the 3D topic.
I heard today what could be one of the first major companies 3D website (outside of movies) on the radio.
The strange part is that I for one did NOT see this name coming. The two words used just do not fit together in my mind but there they are:
3DSHAVE.com
???? Norelco has a new line of shaver out called the SensoTouch 3D and this is the domain they went with (good but odd choice).
Anyways, they are working in conjunction with Tron 3D and the site is VERY attractive. They must have spent some money developing this site so I would assume that this will not just be a throw away site.
What do you guys think?
Cheers
Slate
Now you know why we bought wheels3d bras3d boots3d vodka3d gin3d
martini3d tires3d and tequila3d.com all major keywords with 3d attached,
I think shave3d.com would have been better, Im on the site and it’s way slow
About 3 min to open so far.
3d tv will never work. the massive headaches people are getting from those pathetic glasses are not worth it.
Slate
Awesome find Thank You. This is just the beginning of 3d websites,
I am so glad to see 3DShave.com this justifies the use of 3d in a domain name.
Fantastic. Can you now see a website for bras3d.com? I can and always did,
Can you see wheels or tires3d.com? I can and always did, Everyday this game gets more and more interesting. Just wait for 3DMobileNetwork.com or even 3DGlobalNetwork.com huge potential for those. Thanks again for the post
Mike
If you read the many links contained in the comments you will see that there will be 3d tv’s within the next 2-3 years on the market that will not require glasses.
Mike
I have seen may 3D movies never 1 headache. The deal with 3d is you can’t sit and watch FULL3D for hours that’s why there will be different levels of 3D Full Medium and soft.
http://www.3DShave.com make sure you click on Buy Now it takes you to another page
I think as 3D site begin to pop up everywhere and as the 3D technology matures and new advancements are reached… there will be a call for new ways of handling 3D domains (server wise).
I just can NOT see how todays standard servers will be able to host the graphics needed to support all the 3D content out there.
I am sorry but the processors are not going to get any faster without going sub zero temperatures and I dont see that happening any time soon.
Just food for thought. The person who grabbed 3DHosting.com (not me) may have a gold mine on their hands … just not realized yet.
Cheers
just picked up 3DBelly.com why I have no idea other than I saw belly.com up to 50K
Belly.com is up to $70K
slate.
wow .. great find… this may just add a little more stock to my 3dFlashSites … but great find – thanks for the heads up – if that form wasn’t so damn ridiculous, i would have registered to play with the pictures but… o well.
🙂
– – – –
and froy man, you at least make me laugh, so thank you
– – –
and just wondering… cause we always seem to chase previous sales in some way… how many times does lightening strike twice with these names?
Meaning, does this set off a few belly.net and belly.org sales now? Or even belly ‘related’ sales?
3D Domains are you still laughing at my vodka3d.com?
Oh crap… the war is on. LOL
Cant we all just get along?
I think there is a lesson to be had here. I am speaking of this from a NON domainer point of view. Its not the domains that will define what is popular, its the product that the domain is behind that will bring the domain into popularity.
Let me give you a for instance.
If there was a new product heading down the road for some gaming system, domainers that do NOT go to gaming sites will not hear about this until it makes the news. At that point in time, you will be behind the curve and most likely the good names will be snatched up already.
However, if you aware of it while it was still in the rumor stage, then you could have jumped on the possibility of getting a good domain name.
Think about it, if there was a place that everyone who had an interest in 3D goes to and discuss their topic(s) of choice (i.e. Games, Medical, Movies, Electronics… ect.) then the domainer will surely profit from that given the ability to read all of the upcoming gadgets/electronics/ideas.
There is TONs of content out there. I am lucky enough to have a site that allows me to go into more then one 3D subject with my 3D Database site. I get the opportunity to cover the whole broad range of 3D subjects, not being limited to just 3D TVs or 3D Movies. I get to cover all them.
Although my site is lacking in DEPTH (because I am a one person show), you can see that there is TONs of content and I am can only add so much by myself. There is a LOT more out there that I have not touched (I work full time and go to school full time). My point is that if you (the domainers) play this right (because we all know there are going to have to be major advancements coming down the pike for 3D), then I am sure you will be able to profit big time from this.
I still believe that 3D has a shelf life of maybe 5-8 years before the next big wave of technology takes it place. Until then, 3D will have its time in the limelight and I hope that everyone here profits from this.
Cheers and all the best.
yeah.. still not impressed with that one at all, sorry.
… but u can never underestimate the brainchild of marketing agencies all across this great world.
i don’t stand to lose or gain anything if you do or don’t sell that name, but i hope you sell it.
Question is this….
… that website is obviously not built for the long haul – it’s not like norelco re-branded themselves as ‘3d Shave’ and let it fly out… they’re just jumping on the 3d bandwagon blitz…
but
do you think they did this because 3dShave.com was (most likely) available to hand reg and said ‘screw it’… (my theory)
.. or do you think they actually PAID someone for that domain and IF they DID…
.. how much money do you think that name sold for?
3D Shave .com reged in Oct 2010 looks like a 1 year deal. That’s 2 companies now with 3d Crest 3D and Norelco.
I hope everyone has there 3D Porn domains ready – The first 3D PORN CHANNEL on its way to france
http://gizmodo.com/5699050/3d-porn-on+demand-channel-sleazing-its-way-into-france
While I did not think of 3DBacon, I do have names such as 3DBald, trash3d, among other names .com. I registered several generic names that have nothing to do with 3D as a product, yet if websites become 3D which I believe they are on their way… then if Bald.com has a value, then 3DBald should as well.
Is it worth me keeping

What’s in the Kool Aid you guys are having ?
It’s Kool Aids hottest new flavor:
Wild “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” Blueberry.
You can always tell the people who missed the boat…cant you! Never mind, if you research, you mind some other new tech to get in on!!
Maybe you guys should go bang your pots and pans somewhere else?
Does anyone have any 3D SITEs up and running?
If so, how are your sites doing? What is the traffic like?
Are you using the Alexa rating?
I am curious to see what other people are bringing to the table. I know some have mini sites or are parked… but I am hoping to see if anyone has built sites on their domains yet.
Cheers
Not mine but I spoke to the guy who built this the other day
http://3dgames.co
You can always tell the people who missed the boat…
———
What boat is this?
The boat that holds people who believe that since 3d tv is going to emerge as a relevant technology, taking “3d” and attaching it to whatever keyword is somehow a profitable domaining path?
LOL. For the sake of the gene pool, I hope that boat sinks somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. Most of us didn’t ‘miss’ the boat. We were at the dock, laughing as it sailed away on its voyage to Dumbass Isle.
The people who make money off the 3d domains are the minuscule handful of predictive domainers who bought desirable, sensible, commercially relevant 3d keywords LOOOOOOOOONG before the larger “3d mania!” hit at places like Namepros. Those morons are just flat out lighting money on fire, virtually none (if not absolutely none) if them know how to make money at this.
Buy3DLaptop.com and Buy3DPC.com… both names I sold for $2000.00. I even had to wait a few days as SEDO said it had not been 60 days. Paid under $10 each!! Now, with 3D Tv’s gaining in popularity, and internet gaining strength on televisions… BINGO!!!!!!!!! Again, check out 3DComputerSoftware.com and SCROLL down to the bottom. While the website needs help, I am getting his from around the world… just from the 3D name alone.
“Buy3DLaptop.com… I sold for $2000.00.”
Sweet news, I own 3DLaptop.com so nice to have a comparable, turned down $12k already but never knew of your sale. Was it an end user or reseller?
@L S Morgan
you know exactly what I am talkign about lol…otherwise you wouldn’t be here
Maybe do some research, it shows how much you have researched when you said “3d tv”….look at players, recorders, cinemas, projectors, camcorders, cameras, movies, channels, software etc etc..they have all on the market
Maybe build yourself a little log-cabin on dumbass isle, you could be there a while
You wont get a another reply from me cos you know the truth as well as we do

Stay at the dock stupid you missed several boats,
Mobile3DNetwork or 3DMobileNetwork
Either way we are very happy
As for how long I had my website up it has been a little over a year. As for selling the domain names, I believe it was an investor as no websites were developed as of yet… just parked. I have Bakery3d.com up for auction at Godaddy with a bid of $250.00 but I want to get $1000. I will keep you posted. I am sure I will kick myself soon, but I also sold 3DMobilePhones.com for $250.00 6 months ago.

not been here in a while due to internet problems in that i didnt have any lol
looking at all the posts over the last two months guys looks like nothing changed really in the 3d domains
3d is well established now tv and media are covering it on a daily basis and most consumers know what 3d is you can now pick up a 3dtv with a free blu-ray player for £850 so its more than affordable now so wheres the rush on 3dtv domains ?
when i went after mobile names i went a little bit different to hopefully open up more doors i bought ones like these thinking of the mobile element that it could mean more than just a phone
these are all the mobile/phone domains i have access to

admittedly not all great i know and not all .coms but early on i saw or well thought mobiles and porn was where the money was so i snapped up what i could i have twice as many porn ones and some of them are really good.
you will notice i have barely any smartphones sorry stuart i dont rate them as a normal consumer ie the general public dont really use that term when talking about mobilephones just my opinion but i think those could lose appeal really fast so make sure to sell at the right time and dont get greedy not much in the mobile industry that i dont know about and a few people here will know me as the one who started opening the door for others at dp over 7 or 8 months ago maybe longer even then a lot of top names were gone .

@3d domains
I rate one of your mobile domains, Im not saying anything to your comment regarding 3dsmartphone.com, Ive had that conversation before and its getting a bit boring now! Lets see how much it sells for hey!
6 figure amount for a 3D domain name?
I can imagine that some of these names will get a large sum but 6 figures is out of my thought process for some of these domain names.
What is the highest amount that we have seen yet for a 3D domain name?
I am not bashing anyone here, I am genuinely curious. Is there a great expectation for some of these names to reach 6 figures($xxx,xxx)?
Cheers

When you see articles stating there will be 60 million 3D mobile phones in the next few years you have to figure domains like 3Dsmartphone.com 3DMobileNetwork.com Mobile3DNetwork.com should be worth 7 figures if not then they will be worth nothing, That’s the way we see it. I can see a company like Verizon using 3DMobileNetwork.com as there tag-line. Come to Verizon’s 3DMobileNetwork and receive free 3D Mobile Apps just for joining the network,
To me it’s a no brainier let’s see what the marketing firms think. Our asking price for 3DMobileNetwork.com and Mobile3DNetwork.com is 20 million dollars any 7 figure offers close will be considered.
MHB
Thanks For that bit of news. Do you think he was telling the truth?
What?
7 Figures?
Ok, now it may be because I am not a company that has a large financial backing to rest on but I have to ask the question.
Who in the right mind would turn down 7 figures… at minimum would be 1 million.
You would have to sell a lot of advertising to make that kind of money.
Lets be serious… At best 3DTV would get what…. 50,000 hits a day (at its peak is my guess). If the site was able to hold those numbers for a month (30 days)… that is 1.5 million hits that month (if I did my math correctly).
So much could you possibly charge for advertising and resell of 1.5 million hits a month?
I guess I am naive. I just see a site that would take several months or more of work to make the minimum 7 digit mark, that could have been made in one fair swoop. And that is only assuming that its only 1 million. It could have been more.
If you consider that 3D has a self life of only 5-8 years (as with most any technological advancements), there is only going to be a short window to turn profits for large sums of money. Sooner or later, the 3D craze will start to die down and so will the potential profits for the domain names.
I would love to see a 7 figure sale of a 3D domain. That would give legitimacy to this entire thread.
That is just the way I see it. I would have handled that differently myself but again, I am not a company that has the cash to stand on in order to turn down profits like that.
Cheers

I would like to see some hard numbers on some of these 3D domains.
It looks like the person who owns 3D Glasses, 3D designer glasses,… or anything that has to do will 3D Glasses may want to really consider selling that domain shortly.
There is too large of a push to get rid of 3D glasses. That domain will be on its way out as soon as technology can produce something. 3DGlasses(dot)com, now has a very short shelf life.
Just the way I see it.

“According to insiders at HTC, the Taiwanese manufacturer could be planning to release a 3D Android superphone in time for Christmas 2011”
maybe you should go after 3dsuperphone.com too its parked up
stuart most of the stuff you learned about 3d mobiles was from dp that i posted lol dont you remember you are preaching to the last person that needs it as i said i know all there is to know in the mobile industry not just on the latest mobiles i also know about all the mechanics behind them and what is happening there i know whats coming in mobiles in the next few years from more than places then just the actual suppliers like nokia,windows,htc,samsung and the rest of them strip it down and you might open a few more doors for yourself there without these other things going on you wouldnt see the advances you are seeing now if you wasnt so smug i would post a dozen links here that would blow your mind and these are actual companies not damm blogs but i think its time people did thier own hard work in domaining again.
oh and i have the india market covered stuart a long time ago and have access to some nice .in names
dmpartners you should see if the owners of 3dsex.com want to swap for your two domains worth 20 mill !!
reality check m8 keep the feet on the ground
good luck to all but i think its time to dissasociate with this thread its starting to look a bit grim even for me seems like most are grabbing the slightest piece of news to support thier domain and holding on for dear life we all have domains but damm guys you dont have to act like an ass because you think you have a top name its looks childish and brings down the thread and what others are trying to achieve here.
i await the backlash lol

“”we all have domains but damn guys you don’t have to act like an ass because you think you have a top name its looks childish and brings down the thread and what others are trying to achieve here.””
Just a quick question, who was acting like an ass?
I agree that some of these domains will be worth some money as many of the domains are decent. I would not put full stock in all the ones I have seen listed here.
20 Million for two domains… I just dont see it but then again, I am not a domainer. Dont miss construe what I mean. I believe those two domains will bring in a pretty penny, I just can not justify in my brain how a company will be able to come off 20 Million.
Who knows what will really go on.
Cheers
Slate
Vodka.com 10 million?
Sex.com 13 million?
50 percent of mobile phones sold in the coming years will be 3d, that’s 60 million 3D mobile phones. Figure 200 to 400 per phone and 125 per month times 60 million. That’s how the 3DMobileNetwork.com will be 7 figures. I was saying both domains will be in the package, So if you get 3DMobileNetwork.com you get Mobile3DNetwork.com with it so you corner the market, Verizon is a Billion Dollar Company so is Apple and Sprint, when these big boys battle for these domains which I’m banking they will that’s when the price goes to outer space.
And 3D Domains if it’s me you think is acting like an ass I disagree I’m not trying to I hope it does not look that way , I’m just stating my case for these power house domains. If its the I’m Rich statement that’s a joke from the Honeymooners when Ralph thinks he is inheriting 40 million dollars and get the fortune a bird in a cage, He yells out I’m RICH ,.
Vodka and Sex are terms that do not have a shelf life.
As long as there is the internet… there will be Vodka(dot)com and Sex(dot)com.
You have to admit that 3D is a technology will is on its way to burning brightly but will fade out just as quickly as soon as the next technology is introduced.
I purpose that you ask yourself, would you invest 20 million for domains that will be phased out in less then a decade?
There has been discussion on this very blog about the possible successors to 3D.
Any company will have people analyze the outcomes and projected outcomes before any purchase is made.
Even if the projected numbers turn out to be true. You are not factoring in overhead, cost of production, tooling and advertising. Even at 60 million units… how much of the market will there be for those domains? Its nearly impossible for one site to garner all of the market share for any one subject. Not even Google or Facebook can do that. They have competitors.
So out of the 60 million units, what would be the realistic share for those domains… 50% ? I would go along with 50% and that is being on the generous side. So 30 million possible clients? So now you expect the 80/20 split. Out of 100 people you would 80 of them to be on the fence or non buyers and only 20 to actually purchase the product.
There is a lot to be factored in for a business. Again, I am not a domainer. My background is varied but I have owned a successful business (an actual store front type that had a website) and have since sold it.
I could be completely wrong. I am not denying that I may be. I just do not see the correlation between Vodka/Sex, two terms that will be around for a long time that encompass an entire market that will not be going anywhere soon and that of 3DMobile Network/Mobile3DNetowrk.
I am sorry… I am just not seeing 20 Million. I can see a company forking over a substantial sum… but not 20 million.
But that is just the way I see it.
Cheers and I wish you all the best
Slate
Im not so sure that 3d is going to be done in a decade. I really think it’s here to stay
To many big companies throwing money at it. 20 Million sure it may be unrealistic
but you have to start high and see what happens. As far as Vodka.com go to the site it’s DEAD worthless site, Greed sets in my friend when it’s a gotta have it item.
It will be interested to see what happens. Like I said it could be worth nothing or it could be a windfall.
I agree that nothing is written in stone and 3D may very well be here for a long time to come however, given the natural movement of technology I would seriously expect for 3D to blaze super hot very shortly only to wane to the next oncoming technology.
Black and white did it to color TV
Rotary phone gave way to touch tone
Beepers (god do you remember those?) where trumped by cell phones
Cell phones are giving way to smart phones
Desk top computers where over taken by laptops
Soon TV will give way to 3D HD TV
After that…. who knows. 4K HD TVs? Holograms/Holographics?
I am only trying to say that its the natural tendency of things. I am in no way trying to begrudge you HUGE profits. In fact, I would love for you to realize 20 million (makes my 3D sites worth more…LOL). I just can not wrap my mind around it.
Cheers

On the flip-side it took what 60 years for 3D to finally get it right, I’m sure there will be new technology I would say probably in 20 years. 3D is going to phase out 2D and after that only the crystal ball knows, Which reminds me I have crystalball3d.com maybe I should look in there,
Peace Bro..
I read Europe3d.com sold Sedo’s auction for over $2000. I have not verified it.
I will have to disagree with you on your statement. If you look at the trends over time you will see that the progression of technology over time grows faster and faster.
It may have took thousands of years from the invention of the wheel to the model “T”, but as time progresses and our tools and ways of doing things also progress you will see that the time spent between each major even is nearly cut in half every time one is declared.
That means that from one major advancement to the next, the years in between are shortened. I will make the simple music comparison. First there where records. That lasted a long time (god knows how long) but it was the main stay for a long time.
The introduce the 8 track… that was short lived (because it sucked) and was super seceded by the cassette tape.
The cassette was the main thing for many years until the CD came out.
The CDs lasted a few years and are on their way out for MP3s or any other downloaded style of music.
Each time the length of new technology was on top is shorter and shorter.
We can do the same thing with movies.
First reel to reel
Then Beta that was out done by VHS
Then laser disc that was out done by DVD
Now Blu-Ray… and next we are hoping 3D Blu-ray.
After that… no one really knows
I dont think 20 years is a realistic time frame. The technology is progressing too fast now to allow for 3D to stay on top for 20 years. My personal calculation, is that 3D will be on top for the next 5-8 years and then you will see the draw down of 3D while it slowly gets replaced by the next technology.
That is part of the human condition. We always want something smaller, faster, and better then what we have now and our current technology is allowing us to create these at a faster rate. We just need to wait for the next thing to come along.
But that is just the way I see it.
Cheers

play3dgamesonline.com – i like this games site still have to work on seo on it though its wordpress based
truly i am a lazy website builder as some here will know lol 🙂
Just regged another domain, I was looking for a brandable ‘holo’ name when all along it was looking me in the face on this forum
HOLOHQ.COM
@Ralf
I thank you kind Sir
…………I keep on telling everyone Ralf, Its weird that I only get great feedback on this domain from end-users and people who have super premium 3D names!!
HA HA, Check out my crappy first website ive ever built. http://www.3dsmartphone.com , Its taken me about 7 hours to do, lol!!
……Ive given up, I dont understand any of it, maybe in a year or five!!!
a question for you. do you think the big corporations will buy 3D domains? i would have thought that they’ll use the brand they’ve allready using. thats not to say product domains dont have any value, they do, but their value is limited, as most people will goto the actual brand its representing. its the corps that pay the big bucks for domains. so i think the post regarding a seven-figure-offer for 3D.TV is pie in the sky. JMO
Having 3 offers for 3D Domain Names in 3 weeks is great news for all of us. I will keep you posted if a sale goes through.
1) Websites3d.com
2) 3DUnitedKingdom.com
3) Spain3d.com
Things are looking 3D Bright!! 3D Domain Names are great for type in traffic. Large corporations may buy these names as it can be cheaper than paying up to $32.00 a click over many years time. Once again, check out 3DComputerSoftware.com 325 Visitors from 29 countries. That would cost a lot per click, or other forms of advertising to get that many direct visitors. I also own 3DLicensePlate.com which is number one on Google if you type in 3D License Plate. Get a good name that makes sense that people would type in and BINGO Page One of Search Engines!!! Priceless…
@ Stuart
The site is decent… Is that FLASH?
My only real critique is that the theme of the site does NOT match what you are trying to display with the domain name.
I have had my 3dDatabase(dot)com site up now for about 2 months (+/-).
Right now I see about 1500-2000 unique visitors a month.
The good news is that this is all natural traffic. The only advertising I have done with this site is submitting it to all the search engines (105 of them) and the posts that I have on forums/blogs like this. Other then that… Nothing else.
If you care about Alexa ranking, I have managed to drop well below the 900k mark in the 2 months that the site has been up, WITHOUT manipulating the system. I think that is pretty good since its all be organic traffic.
Looking at my traffic, I have gotten hits from all over the world. For the most part from every Google there is (that I know of). There is over 20 of them.
I think there is going to be a huge market for 3D Domains/Sites but many of us will need to create some sort of site for now just to get traffic and acknowledgment that 3D sites are out there.
I wouldn’t expect large corporations to come around for another year or so. 3D has not hit its peak yet… its still building.
With this said… it is still in my opinion that 3D domains do have a shelf life. 3D (like all other technologies) will come to an end one day. Technology is moving so fast now a days that we probably only have a window of a matter of years (5-8 is what I think) rather then decades like some past technologies.
Anyways, I think everyone should at least attempt to put a mini site on their major 3D domains just to get the ball rolling. Going to sites that are sitting or some obsolete information on them does not help the cause. Even a small forum or blog site will go well. I have added a Blog (with back links) and a Forum to my 3D Database site… although my content on them is thin at the moment.
Its just the way I see it.
I hope everyone will decide to at least attempt to build a site on their 3D names.
Cheers
@FT
I agree with your assessment that 7 figures for 99% of our 3D Domains is out of the question. You are also correct in saying that it is the corporations that pay the BIG bucks for domain names.
Since 3D has a shelf life… I don’t think we will see any 7 figure sales (maybe one or two if we are really really really lucky but I highly doubt it).
However, there is going to be money made from many of these sites. MUCH, MUCH, more then the registration fee or the couple hundred people spent to get top notch domains… I just don’t see amounts that you can retire with like some people are spouting out.
Just my opinion and how I see things.
Cheers
Just snapped up a little solar name for $4
SOLARSHAVERS.COM
hey guys, no more waiting on Stephens blog, instant messages……….lets go mental and post loads!!
@ Stuart — thx for the announcement.
Em-bee, hope you don’t mind if I make an announcement for a requirement on posting domains on my blog.
You’re welcome to post your domain names on my blog, but please keep them under 10 (TEN) domains per post. Don’t just unload a 50 name list. Other than that, happy hunting and keep posting here so Em-Bee can hit 1000 comments…
going off topic a little i will be building a domain site real soon anyone wishing to have thier domains published on the site once up are welcome to do so.Its not an auction site merely a portfolio type site but you will be able to have all your domains listed
more info nearer the time 🙂

I have a question about “SOLAR” domains. From what I recall, there has been news and leaked emails, documents, and a grip of scientists that call Global Warming a farce (foolish show; mockery; a ridiculous sham).
If that is true (and I am not saying that it is… but you would have to consider the element), dont you think that would have a drastic effect on “SOLAR” domains?
Even if we dont find out the truth for many many years to come, there is a clear dividing line between people for one side or another on Global Warming.
In my opinion Global Warming is the only thing that will take “SOLAR” mainstream. With out Global Warming “SOLAR” anything will stay on the fringe, with its popularity mainly sitting with the activist types.
This is just my opinion as I have thought about the whole SOLAR a long time ago but I could never get past the fact that it would be only a passing fad for a small fringe element of the population.
That is just the way I see it…. I am probably dead wrong and missed a huge opportunity but I am ok with that.
Cheers.
i have a decent amount of strong solar names myself, mostly geo + niche targeted (names like NYSolarHomes.com, NYSolarEnergy.com..etc)
… but here’s one i’m kinda proud of… let’s see if anyone knows about it:
• FlexibleBIPV.com
Flexible solar is ROCKING and the BIPV market is projected to hit over $8 billion by 2015.. i’m quietly optimistic about this one 🙂
… anybody?
– – – – –
i love the SolarInsurance.co name just for using the .co so properly.
– – – – –
and 3dSolarPhone.com has some nice potential – i like it .. i wish i knew more about it other than concept drafts… has this advanced any in the past few months?
Solar only makes sense in about a thousand ways… if it’s a passing trend it’s only because something newer and better emerges, and not likely, from what i know.. but i’ll never pretend to be a solar ‘expert’, so i could be wrong, but i don’t see this planet going ‘backwards’, so solar is gonna happen in a BIG way.
matter of fact, i have a REAL long term solar name in my stash:
• SpaceBasedSolar.com
For anyone who doesn’t know what this is, look it up – pretty amazing and very far away… i’ll be keeping a close eye on this throughout the years.

@3D Domain names
That is pretty cool and a great grab. I really do hope that something like that comes to fruition for you.
I am not questioning the Solar domains. They are great domains with out a doubt!
I am only questioning the development of Solar “IF” Global Warming (or Climate Change as they call it now since there has been a downward temperature trend for the last 10 years) turns out to be an over reaction to the ebb and flows of the earth itself.
If one took out Global Warming… would there be a serious call for Solar power any time soon (with in the next 10 years)? I personally don’t see it happening myself. I see the debate about Global Warming going on for the next decade but that still leaves the line of believers and Non believers or another way to look at it, people who WILL purchase Solar powered equipment and those who WONT.
I dont know if its really genius that you picked up the domains now, or if it will turn out to be a long term waiting game for you.
I dont know, its just the way I see this topic but I seriously do wish you all the best.
Cheers
i know we’re all straying away from ‘3d domain names’ a bit here lately, but the research -if anyone is doing any – leads to so many other new great tech.
One of them, as i have mentioned previously, is the”one day” 4k tv’s and 8k tv’s… these are supposed to be amazing, but the problem is going to be in the bandwidth and overall adaptation of content.. like movies, streaming content, video camera’s ..broadcasting.. data transfer…etc..
with the likes of 3d movies and 3d sports requiring more data transfer, and streaming tv and streaming movies becoming much more popular, telepresence already on the rise, mobile computing only projects to rise immensely in the coming years, not to mention the bragging rights of being the first to broadcast LIVE holographic projections…
… well, because of all of this, the broadcasting industry is presently focused on HOW to handle these new increases in bandwidth for not only today, but for the future as well. The rat race is on and the prize could mean billions and billions.
… this will all lead to:
• NextGenBroadcasting.com
feedback is always welcomed.
While technology changes over the years, developing advanced electronics among other things, the good news is they can all continue to be in 3D!!
as well as going into s0lar and 3d i have also bagged up 4g and 5g domains these will be a bit off but thats what its all about
looking around now at prices of 3dtv’s most places are gtiving away a free blu-ray dvd player when you buy the 3dtv cool what an incentive the cheapest i have seen so far is £845 thats affordable to anyone considering a new tv opens the doors right up looks like the companies are realising in order to make it a success quicker the prices need to be just right for all the consumers
@ slate
whether global warming is a myth or not does not take from the fact solar power is a energy source that can save you money and everyone likes saving money its viable and thats what counts the worlds gas supply will eventually run out as will solid fuels allbeit not right now but thats when solar comes into its own,also a lot of people will still like to be friends to the earth and use natural resources there will always be a market for solar imo people like to do the right thing with organic food etc and that stretches into sustainable living,things like this have been instilled into our society now and its accepted as the norm this can only benefit cleaner energy sources like solar imo.
@ 3d domain names
remember i mentioned the 4ktv to you i just wish i had dived into a couple of names back then now i am going to be watching the domains i could have had to see what they go for if they sell lol 🙂
FlexibleBIPV.com yep gotta love this, so much out there when you start looking into solar it starts to get a little bit like a minefield my first ever solar name i still love energysmartsolar.com aaaahhh memories lol
Yes a record for comments on one post by a mile
just bought my domain for my domaining site
ftdomainnames.com
site should be up within 2 weeks or so depending on my isp getting the finger out lol
looking forward to this being live 🙂
… i know we’ve had the discussion before about “3-D” names (as opposed to just “3D”)
… and regardless of your previous opinions,
… if there WERE any “3-D” names you could have – or want – what would they be?
… so i guess i’m asking you to list your top “3-DASH-D” names
thanks
btw admin
.. do you have a tally on who has posted the most on this thread?
just curious
@slate.
pleased to hear your site is doing well with traffic.
i’m also developing a 3D site, which is currently getting google traffic of around 30ish hits per day.
i prefer not to link to my site to any via blogs/forums, or anything else for that matter, as i dont really consider this natural traffic.
its not hard to rank 3D domains, because they’re so abstract – mine currently ranks page 1 of 92-million results for my particular keywords, after just 10 days..
obviously linking helps with pagerank – but as ive mentioned they’re not currently hard to rank anyway.
best of luck. FT.
got to be these
3-dsexmovie.com
3-DPORNMOVIE.COM
3-DPORNWORLD.COM
3-DSEXVIDEO.COM
looking through my list i am a bit surprised i dont have that many but these i think are perfect with the dash,its a hard one to argue against even with the search engine take on dashes taken into account i dont think it matters too much and when you look at some of the names it fits just too well.
Everyone is scared of dashes in domains but tbh i dont see any problems and i dont think it devalues 3d names whatsover 🙂
to me..
.. it ‘seems’ the “3-D” is more accurate and in tune with stereoscopic 3d more so than the 3d cad we’re all used to seeing and calling ‘3d’ – know what i mean?
.. for example.. the popularity in the 3d travel, 3d real estate and 3d map domains and websites are based more on 3d modeling then they are s3d.
no glasses needed for those web sites.
but if those websights actually incorporated stereoscopic 3d into the navigation and create an experience, then”3-D” is probably more the proper term.
i also uncovered these handful of facts today.. pretty interesting to say the least:
with quotes, go to google and type in the following strings and tell me what your content is
“3-d Sports” – content on google (with Quotes) – 908,000
“3d Sports” – content on google (with Quotes) – 151,000
– – – – – – – – –
same test, different string:
“3-d Advertising” – content on google (with Quotes) – 198,000
“3d Advertising” – content on google (with Quotes) – 73,800
– – – – – – – – –
same test, different string:
“3-d Laptop” – content on google (with Quotes) – 508,000
“3d Laptop” – content on google (with Quotes) – 276,000
– – – – – – – – –
same test, different string:
“3-d Phone” – content on google (with Quotes) – 135,000
“3d Phone” – content on google (with Quotes) – 58,000
– – – – – – – – –
same test, different string:
“3-d Camera” – content on google (with Quotes) – 1,300,000
“3d Camera” – content on google (with Quotes) – 524,000
– – – – – – – – –
same test, different string:
“3-d Cam” – content on google (with Quotes) – 581,000
“3d Cam” – content on google (with Quotes) – 194,000
– – – – – – – – –
there are more examples like this, but these are just a few i thought i’d point out.
i know we don’t exactly chase content, exactly – we chase searches – and in virtually every instance, i would imagine that the search volume for a clean ‘3d’ will beat the tar out of ‘3-dash-d’… i also know that other strings do not fully back this theory (like 3d movies vs 3-d movies or 3-d tv vs 3dtv..etc…) but these stats should still not be ignored!
and no – I’m NOT saying ‘3-d’ names are better… not for a second – not a chance in the world would i ever suggest that.
.. i am, however, trying to point out that ‘3-D’ could still prove to be a pretty solid alternative for any potential end user who does not want to spend what it will cost to obtain a top 3d domain.
what do you think the difference in cost would be between ‘3dGames’ and ‘3-dGames’ to a potential buyer in say, two years time when we are at a heightened state of 3d content all around?
let’s assume or guesstimate that these upper level 3d domain names start selling in the high five to mid six figure range (?), these ‘3-dash-d’ names might look like a very attractive alternative at high $x,xxx to low $xx,xxx with really, the proper dictionary usage of the term ‘3-d’
..with that said, i think the only way to pull these ‘3-dash-d’ names off properly is to
(a) – have something of a category killer in with that dash (like 3-d Movies or 3-d Sports)
or
(b) – it can ONLY have one additional word following the ‘3-d’ – i don’t think ‘3-dash-d’ is suited for three and four word domains, imo
(c) – the site plan should be geared towards stereoscopic 3d
and that’s my finding’s…
your thoughts everybody?
a lot of concern was put onto the actual person typing in 3d they wouldnt put the dash when they type and also webmasters views on dashes within domain names that they were not really a desireable option for many.
it will be interesting to see what happens concerning dash names
As far as i am aware every search throws up more content with the dash
heres another example to look at
“porn 3d” – content on google (with Quotes) – 490,000
“porn-3d” – content on google (with Quotes) – 491,000
“3d game” – content on google (with Quotes) –24,800,000
“3d-game” – content on google (with Quotes) – 24,800,000
allbeit not as dramatic differences but when dealing with google content and dashes it makes interesting reading both with “3-d” and “3d-“
that’s NOT the same kind of dash that i am talking about
i mention “3-d” ONLY because it’s ‘technically’ proper, according to every dictionary.
That’s also why all the content you see is used with ‘3-d’… editors and publications make those changes and rules according to the dictionary and proper grammar.
this should not be about 3d-(3d Dash)
yes i know i was just making another point concerning google content and search engines importance concerning ranking names with a dash 🙂
i agree with what you stated 3-d is the standard term used 🙂
@FT
Thank you for the kind words in regards to my site.
I differ with you on what is considered natural traffic and what is not. I guess its subject to interpretation.
Back links (like the ones you get from blogs and forums) are very very very vital to how well a given domain name will rank in Googles ranking algorithm. SEO is all about back links, and to me that is part of natural traffic.
Now, paying for traffic/hits, I dont consider that natural traffic. An adword campaign or some of those traffic exchanges that you people randomly sit on your site for 20 seconds…. none of that is natural traffic but that is my interpretation of it and there is a chance that I am all hosed up in the way I see it.
I do have to commend you on being number 1 of 92 million search results. That is pretty impressive. Give yourself a pat on the back for that.
I am curious on what your keywords are and for what site? None the less, 3D domains all around need to be developed into functioning sites to be taken seriously in my opinion.
Just the way I see it.
Cheers
Let’s look at somethiong for a moment …
Google seasrch results
“3d” 422M
“3-d” 110M
My think is if more people search 3D (no hyphen which is a natural way with all products even if one exits) they will search for it when in combo with a product.
I own 3dlaptop.com and get a handful of uv a day so far, I bet regardless of what google says the hyphen does not.
@slate.
totally agree with your theory on developing, even if its just a good-keyworded well-researched one-pager, explaining the technology.. better than having it parked.
my site isnt number 1 result, its page 1, just to clarify..i was surprised as well to be honest, but you know google, page 1 today – off the face of the earth tomorrow.
thanks for your comments.
Ive done my website again, I know its flash still but for $4.95 and on a month by month contract it fits the bill for me. Ive only done the website just to promote the domain name a little more. Its basic but I will have some fun with it being my first website and i will progress in the future to wordpress. http://WWW.3DSMARTPHONE.COM
@Josh
i think you’re missing my point as to actually WHY they could be considered a viable option.
Remember, i also said that i think that this will only work well with the real premium 3d names, and my thinking goes like this:
if i was an enduser
… and i wanted a 3d domain name related to selling 3d laptops…
i would go to sedo or wherever, and search for 3d laptop and here would be my finding’s:
• 3dLaptop – $100,000+
• 3d-Laptop – $20,000 (?)
• 3-dLaptop – $8,000
because your name is SO good, one would be stupid to not at least consider “3-dLaptop’ as a viable option at that point to save $10,000+ – $90,000+.
throw in the FACT , that “3-D” is the ‘technically proper, dictionary term’ …
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/3d
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/3d
and i think these have to be, if nothing else, ‘considered’ as an option to any potential end user.
(how could it NOT!)
– – – –
**BTW … i have 3-D WEB.com and i get roughly 2-4 UV a days on that name all the time as well.
yes i think you are onto something there i can see end users thinking about it and maybe even going for it as the non dash may just be out of reach
remember also not everyone thinks along these lines some end users see the name only and dont think any further ie the dash would not even bother them so i agree they are a viable option and will be considered by some.
going away from .coms i have always liked the thought of 3dadult.tv and looking i found 3-dadult.tv so i now own my first ever .tv domain only one i was interested in apart from 3d.tv and no chance of that lol first purchase of a 3d name in about 2 months for me 🙂
I have to ask… why are some people out there fine with only getting a handful of Unique Visitors per day?
Why not spend a little time and put up a viable site… and who knows maybe make a few dollars from some adsense or other advertising program?
It shouldn’t be that difficult, Stuart Hollington has built a site using Wix. I am pretty sure you can make a free site there.
Its just a thought. I am sure you can put the fact that your domain is for sale somewhere on the one of the pages.
Anyways, even thought 3-D is the proper way of spelling it, 3D is king in this instance. Its quicker and people in general are lazy (especially the ones that are searching the web).
That is just the way I see it.
Cheers
@3ddomains, I can see where you are coming from, most big business will take the cheap route if possible at that point I can only hope to monetize the type in traffic I receive from their campaign lol
fyi, 3dlaptop.com $50k obo, not $100k 🙂
you also have to weigh up what difference a dash makes
imo it makes no difference look at movies-3d.net yes not even a dash between the “3d” but its first page and third on list on google for the term “3d movies online” without any major seo work done to the site.It even beats 3dmoviesonline.org which is keyworded weigh that up against the various price tags and tell me its not a viable option to consider say 3-dlaptop over 3dlaptop
3-d has as much relevence now as 3d if google rank dash sites as well as non dash then there is a market for “3-d”
These are the ones i have
3-dbrowser.com
3-dhelp.com
3-dlinks.com
3-dtraffic.com
3-dpc.net
I was starting to wonder if i should renew them but now i think i may keep them for another year.

I notice noone mentioned this, so I will. Potentially, the biggest thing to come from the term “3d” is that of 3d-printing technology. No, I’m not talking about a 3d photo coming out of your printer, but rather, 3d objects being created, human organs being created from 3d printer for transplant, and they’re already making jewelry parts on 3d printers…3d printing technology will cause the biggest, single paradigm shift in manufacturing of ALL products over the next twenty years.
Here’s an article from a couple years ago that I found to be interesting and enlightening:
http://www.rapidtoday.com/future.html
I foresee a time in the future when a women gets on her computer device (pc, mobile, etc.), designs her own custom dress at “dressprinter.com” for example (eventually the “3d” will be dropped for brevity’s sake), using templates with several personalization options, the dress is then created on an industrial 3d printer and shipped to her house. Perhaps you’ll someday get on “shoeprinter.com”, buy a license to “print” a Nike shoe or a Reebok, customize it to fit your style, and it’ll be shipped directly to you. Personalization/customization is the future of all industries, which is why “3d printing” will be MONSTER. Read the article, it’s good stuff.
going back onto the 3-d dash debate
here are some previous sales to consider
3d-animation.com Sep 29,2010 €1,888.00 Sedo.com
3d-templates.com Sep 13,2010 $2,789.00 Sedo.com
3d-web.net Sep 12,2010 $3,000.00 Sedo.com
3d-video.com Sep 12,2010 $2,488.00 Sedo.com
allbeit these dont even have the dash between the 3d !
Regarding 3d being the future, I concentrated on what I thought would be a natural fit, i.e., video games. I own these generic domain names for certain types of video games (for those where I own the “net” extension, the “com” was already taken by someone faster and smarter than me:
3dArmy.net
3dBattles.com
3dBattles.net
3dMMA.net (Mixed Martial Arts is big in the U.S.)
3dRolePlay.net
3dSniper.net
3dVidGames.com (in Hollywood “vidgames” is a natural word)
3dVidGames.net
My next step is to approach the videogame publishers and ask them to make an offer. If I don’t get offers worth accepting, I may well set those up as portals featuring links to the games and/or sites where the games can be purchased.

3D surely is an hot topic today 🙂
Looks like 3d Domain Names may have been onto something when he brought up 4K Electronics… TVs…. What ever.
Sony seems to have the market covered on 4K equipment. Apparently there have been movies shot in 4K since 2004.
Hmmmm…. And if the 4K HDTVs have already made their way to shows…. 3D Domain Names may very well have been onto something here.
Next stop would be 3D movies shot in 4K resolution and set on a 4K HDTV.
That would be sweet.

Ok buddy… this may be some great news for you. Hot off the presses… looks like some believe 2011 to be the year of 3D consoles!!!!
http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/top-10-best-3d-console-games-914818
(hope that posts)
Anyways… they go onto list the top 10 3D games that are now out or coming out on a console.
They also state that 3D games started to show life in 2010 but 2011 is when it will really shine and honestly Techradar are not shlubs when it comes to tech stuff.
So, Stuart… looks like you may very well be sitting as king of the day with your 3Dconsole.com
So go on and develop it man… time for you to get ahead of the traffic.

One more for the road ($4)
HOLONAMES.COM
Stuart stop wasting your money Holo is worth nothing they are going to abbreviate it. HG just like HP Hewlett Packard Nobody is going to search Holo anything
Just my O of course. 3d is Holo anyway
@DMPARTNERS
Research is key, silence is bliss
ps. I typed in HGTV into google and look what came up
A HOME AND GARDEN SITE, looks like HG is taken mate, lol
hgtv.com
If im wrong, then please feel free to reg a holo domain, see if you can get a good .com
bet you cant, everyone has snapped them up.
O—-kay….
i know most if not all are striving for .coms but i just picked up
film3d.org and film3d.info today
thoughts everyone ?
@ 3D Cinema
First mistake 3d is not shot on film Second .org and .info?
Get your money back
Stuart
HGTV is on the cable system on the US I would not base anything on that ,
3dpdf.com sold on sedo $1XXX.
@ dmpartners
1st mistake type “film 3d” into google
2nd mistake film = movies
3rd mistake .org is a well established popular extension and have you sold any 3d .coms yet ? i have sold3d .infos 🙂
4th mistake they are already worth more than i paid
i did ask for thoughts on it but relative ones 🙂
also check out
film3d.tv/film3d.it/film3d.tk/film3d.ro/
how many of your domains are being used in ctld’s etc ?
dont you think i research before i buy ?
i wish we were seeing some hologram domain sales.
@DMPARTNERS
I seem to remember having this kind of coversation over a year ago regarding 3D Domains and all I got on most forums “waste of money” and “nobody buys 3D domains” and when i paid $700 for 3DCONSOLE.COM, I also had “your mad” and “buy proper domains”, how things have changed, all Im saying is dont miss the boat for Holo, Hologram, Holographic domains, nearly all the domains I have caught have been reg’d for over 3-4 years, people are not daft, they have done their research and invested little $$. I have only about 50 Holo, Hologram and Holographic Domains , not a lot but it could be a nice little pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, who knows, Im willing to take the risk and I know a lot of other people are too. In 5-8 years time more and more people will be domaining and domains will be harder and harder to buy or find, everybody is making money on domains, it is only a matter of time till everybody on the planet is thinking the same way. Remember, he who dares, wins!

Sorry 3Dfacereproduction.com and 3-Dfacereproduction.com were registered this morning
3d-facereproduction.com is however 🙂
ok .. i’m gonna finally say it ’cause i know you’ve all been DYING to…
@DMP
you’re an idiot!
haha
you showed us all your flash of brilliance already – first with your original registrations and THEN – haha .. you showed us what you actually RENEWED.
Your word is Muck ’round these parts.
Your a stat on MHB’s 3d Domains counter – nothing more
if i thought you or your embarrassing 3d names were worth the $7 – i’d go hand register ‘GlobalNetwork3d.com’ right now and short change ya and sell it for “only million”
get a grip
you have the power of the internet at your fingertips…
USE IT!!
Read a little… LEARN… PAY ATTENTION!!
… now go ahead and run on over to GD and spend – er – waste – another $7 on another name no one will want… the remaining piece to your $20 million imaginary empire.
njoy 🙂
@MHB
are you saying that you bought those two names?
– – – – –
@3dCinema
.. WHY was dot info removed from your account?
– – – – –
@Josh
… wow on that pdf sale!!
nice little .orgs just grabbed
3dprojectors.org
chat3d.org
reason i got was registration failed at registrar so money was refunded and i see its went to someone else now
i saw the chat3d dropping yesterday.. i could have had it .. i was there… haha
… same with 3dSoccer.org… that also dropped yesterday .. i had it on screen – big green check mark when it was ready.. again, decided against it.. i have my sights on some others right now.
good luck with your new names 🙂

I have 3dfacesoftware.com
do you think its worthy to renew it
Anyone Thanks
yep i saw 3dsoccer 🙂
sure its giles that has the .com ?
@3D Domains
Go ahead reg GlobalNetwork3d.com shows how much you know about what we even posted. Why don’t you go and reg 3D-3d.com that’s about the same as 3D-HoloGram this way you can have the entire lot. Then you can pat yourself on the back again. I will bet we become millionaires off our domains faster than you.
In fact you will never even become one with hyphenated names. But you can try to convince us hyphenated names are worth a fortune.

3d
Yes I registered both this morning
All:
This is what I have registered in addition to my previous posting (if I don’t list the dot com is because it was already taken):
3DHUD.NET
3DHUD.BIZ (HUD means heads up display on a military jet)
3dStatusBoard.com
3dStatusBoard.net (that’s the term, I hope, for a glass board/map with ships, planes, on it)
3DFlightPlan.com
3DFlightPlan.net (can you see Google Maps making me an offer? I can dream)
Brandaholic.net
3dAnimators.net
3dBladeGame.com
3dBladeGame.net
3dBladeGames.com
3dBladeGames.net
3dGamePhone.net

3dPhoneGame.net
3dTabletGame.com
3dTabletGame.net
3dTabletGames.com
3dTabletGames.net
3dWar.net
So far I haven’t sold any, but I’m working on that aspect as well.
3D Cinema
Those stats mean nothing to us. When a company decides to be the first and only 3DGlobalNetwork 3DFriendsNetwork 3DMobileNetwork or 3DVirtualNetwork they are not going to look at those stats, they are going to recognize that these are the best options for there Network and the easiest to market, That’s why it’s all or nothing with these choices, Either they will be worth 7 figures or they will be worthless, That’s what we see could be wrong could be right,
Another sale
3d4u.net $1,060 Afternic
…so i have question
you see a lot of these companies now proclaiming that they are making ‘glasses-free 3d tv’… unless i am mistaken, once it becomes ‘glasses-free’, it then in turn becomes ‘auto stereoscopic 3d’, correct? (the use of 3d without special lenses)
does anyone see a possible increase in the term ‘3d auto stereoscopic tv’?
or even a shortened version ‘3D as TV’?
thanks
@ dm partners
i have said this before to a few new domainers
dont gloat on your names make your point list your name stating 20 million makes the rest of us look like fools when others read posts like that believe it or not its damaging to everyone
unless you already have at least a small market for something then theres no market at all unless you are going to spend in marketing yourself stats do count if nobody is searching the term or commenting or writing about it then theres no interest
simple equation no interest means no sale
@ 3d domain names
best stereoscopic name i have is in .info
3dstereoscopic.info
@ giles
was that one of your own names if so congrats 🙂
@ 3D Cinema
Nope, I dont own 3DSoccer.com, I wish I did, I have Sport3D.com
And no again, 3D4U.net wasn’t my sale….
the big move towards 3d sports events should see you well giles its been said that because of the limited content in movies at the moment 3d sporting events will be covered live more often to make up the shortfall sounds good to me 🙂
best i have is
live3dsports.net
3DSPORTS.CO
suppose this could be used also
3DEVENTS.CO
dont know who will be interested in this but i am going to start a list on newly registered domains as and when i come across them obviously it wont be every domain registered
3D Domains Registered
Is this domain worth renewing ?
3DPORNPICTURES.COM
Any advice would be great.
thanks

There is no email on the who is record, is there any other way I can find a contact?
@stu … unlike many of your other names, i would let this one fall through.
i’m sure if you change your mind in three months you’ll still be able to pick it back up the day it drops…
… you can probably hand reg a much better holo name right now for the same $7 instead of bringing that back, no?
that net site, btw.. is nothing more than a link ring… clicking on a picture takes you to hot(.)3d(.)girl(.)com.. which then if you click again.. takes you to erotic(.)3d(.)net..etc..
CRAP!!
good luck
@3d domain names
thanks for that mate, the only thing that is niggling me is that “porn pictures” has over 201,000 monthly searches
…………and “3d porn pictures” 1300 and growing month on month
@MHB
Thoughts?
renew for $10 or not?
Renew
thanks, much appreciated
Its still me, but a slimmed down version name! 🙂 Just in case anyone thought who’s this imposter
lots of holo domain still available, Im not gonna reg anymore but here are a few good ones still available
HOLORESEARCH.COM
HOLOMARKETS.COM
HOLOANALYST.COM
HOLOBIKES.COM
HOLOAUTOS.COM
HOLOESTATES.COM
HOLOFITNESS.COM
How about Holo-Lu-ya.com I hear that the HYPHEN adds huge val-U to the domain …
Just been looking on a few 3D Forums, One bloke wrote this below which I think is very true, but then again i would…lol!
“A 3D smartphone is not exactly “taking on Apple’s iPhone” now is it? A 3D smartphone would be a totally new product class of its own.
Apple started the smartphone craze by using the touch-screen idea, and getting everyone else to copy them.
If Sharp can come out with a real 3D smartphone and it actually works as advertised, then that would be the first innovative thing that someone has done above and beyond copying Apple’s ideas.”
Did something happen with 3dsoccer.com?
I happen to have 3DBaseball.com 🙂
My thinking is simple, not a penny less than 6 figures, the end user would be a billion dollar company any way so feast or famine.
Also the tests I have read about were very popular for baseball, one of the best sports that converts to 3d.
well hope this 3d phone technology does take off, I have 3dphonereviews.com, 3dphonestore.com and 3dphonesales.com all sitting pretty at no 1-2 in google for those search terms, these are just parked sites but if this does take off will defiantly be developing and trying to keep these domains up there. It is amazing the power of keyword domains as for the search term 3d phone review I am out rating developed sites based on just the keyword match in the domain name!
oops that was 3dphonereview.com 🙂
@Josh
3d baseball was received very well but so was 3d soccer… the hockey news came and went.. so did the golf, but those were supposed to be pretty impressive. Once they finally figure this thing out – which they will – it’s Game On!!!
– – – – – – – –
also..
is someone able to help give me a better perspective of the 3d anime/hentai industry – .. as far as an online business and domains.
admittedly, i do not know enough about this market, this insanely HUGE market – but the one thing that concerns me about it is the overall saturation … and it’s also not exactly a search engine requirement for these sites to make money so there is no CPC to talk about in turn.
who.is history shows a few sales here n there, with a handful of decent ones floating round, but nothing too crazy….
so how is the anime market in regards to domains and how do you think 3d anime will do?
thanks all 🙂
Do any of you hear think that 3dweathermap.com would be a good one to semi develop.
http://www.t3.com/news/worlds-first-3d-website-goes-live?=51905
The first stereoscopic3D website
Fantastic News for everyone here.
Ive done my website again for the tenth time – http://www.3dconsole.com
Did anyone else see this?
The worlds first 3D website has been launched!
stereoscopic-3d.co.uk/
Check it out… it would be more dramatic if I had the 3D TV to see it but still you can see how this is pretty cool.
With this being the first site of its kind (of so they claim), I will ask a question again that I asked a while back.
Does anyone else see the coming need for a different type of server with different specs to host 3D sites (such as this).
I think that will be a huge portion of 3D.
3D cloud computing.
Just the way I see it.
Cheers
Ive done my website again for the tenth time, any feedback would be great and please be nice, its only the first proper one ive done – 3dconsole.com
Much nicer in my opinion.
I like it, now just need to continue to add content.
All the best… Cheers
@3dDatabase.com
Thanks mate, much appreciated.
Just caught
HOLOGRAMTV.ORG
I know its an .org but with it being a Tv name im happy with it, as happy as if i had 3DTV.ORG.
New porn movie released in 3d today:
http://business.avn.com/articles/Raven-Alexis-Launches-RavenAlexis3D-com-Today-419675.html
Xbiz just names it “top adult industry newsmakers of 2010”
Topping the list is 3D:
http://newswire.xbiz.com/view.php?id=128594
@ mhb
thanks for that makes me feel all fuzzy inside 🙂
considering i went after adult names the most 🙂
nice to see 3d4u.net being listed at dnjournal
cant wait to see loads of 3d domains listed there 🙂
Just got 3DBriefs.com
Who knows maybe some underwear company might want it
3d tops the xbiz list because the list is in alphabetical order with 100 other “news makers” on the list
Thanks for all the great feedback on my http://www.3dconsole.com , Ive touched it up here and there.
Happy Dayz at last!
🙂
Andrew
Well if you want to get technical about it.
)):
Once the “3d” hype dies down and become a normal option for most media, usage of the term “3d” will slowly go away and will not be used for most marketing (for brevity’s sake). Of course, by then, most of you 3D’ers will have dumped these domains into the laps of bigger fools. There’s no way I’d be buying a “3Dxyz.com” domain right now with so many great, unregistered .TV’s still out there.
For example, I own JewelryPrinter.com, to be sold ten+ years from now to a company that will market 3d-Jewelry-Printers to the masses. 3DJewelryPrinter.com is available, but I passed. In time, use of the term “3D” will be passé. To those of you who are unaware, I’m talking about 3D-manufacturing here, not 3D viewing, but you get the gist.
– TBC
@Stuart
.. very cool (Hologramtv.org) – definitely a name i would like to have – BEST OF LUCK with it!!
..although, i still think ‘Holographic TV’ is going to be the big winner.
.. 3dconsole – MUCH better
.. at least now the SE’s can read you properly.
… nice job rookie 🙂
– – – – – – –
@LarryP
.. better name than you let on
3dBriefs would be pretty good for 3d highlights, or news, short animations/video’s, commercials…
… i like it.
– – – – – – – – –
@TBC
… what you say about 3d becoming the norm – yes – that probably WILL happen.. i don’t think anyone’s arguing that…
but
(1) – that can be said about ALMOST ANY new or niche industry that’s not a category killer.
(2) – that will take a LONG time to happen… you’re talking a minimum of 5-8 years before that happens to 3d (and more than likely, a little longer)… that’s still a LOT of business that can and WILL happen in a 8 year span…. the money spent on a 3d domain name will easily justify its price over that time.
There are windows and bubbles in just about EVERYTHING we do in this life man, 3d is no different.
the only one’s that are the “sure things” right now are 7-8 figure, category killer names, so why fight it…. .. if ‘that’s the way you roll’ – more power to ya, but there’s still PLENTY of opportunity in the 3d market and if you say otherwise, you’re just really not paying attention to this thread, the onslaught of 3d develpoment, or even 3d domain name sales for that matter.
.. but surely you must know…
… don’t you think ‘domain names’ in general will also follow suit and become a thing of the past?…. ’cause you KNOW there WILL be a new way of surfing the web in the future that will surely diminish “domain name” value in general… (** i said domain names – not websites)
… social marketing and APPS have already started chipping away at this process … it might be 10-20 years until that happens, but domain names will eventually be replaced by the next biggest way to find what you want on the internet, so y even bother with those ‘KILLER’ dot tv names?
… the trick, however… as with all business… is ‘knowing when to hold ’em and knowing when to fold ’em’…
… until that time, why not just have some fun with it?
.. in any event..
.. good luck to ya
haha .. i just noticed…
… you MUST have been paying attention MHB
you left your own One Thousandth Post!!!
CONGRATS on your first Four Figure Blog Post!!!
@3D Domain Names,
I agree, SOME of the 3d-domains listed on this post will sell for decent money, but 90% of them will never sell and will eventually be dropped by the holder…surely you know this?
Domain names will be around as long as we speak the English language…we have to have someway of getting to the content-destination of our choice and “mycoolgames.com” is sexier than saying “323244.3232” in an advertisement. Domains may be used differently in the future, but they’re here to stay, for our lifetime anyway (50+ years from now). Apps are limited in scope and in scalability and basically, they’ve peaked…gimmicky market, those apps 🙂 IMHO…
– TBC
That’s why they pay me the big money
So while we are on the topic, although I don’t announce everytime I pick up a domain I have picked up a few over the last couple of months including:
3dpresentations.com
3dflatscreens.com
3dshows.tv
3dmoviechannel.tv
hd-3d.tv
3dscifi.tv
3dfacereproduction.com
technologies3d.com
@3D Domain Name,
I failed to address one other thing you mentioned, which was the future prospects for domain name values.
I see good .com’s and .tv’s going through the roof over the next decade…numbers that will make your head spin. Africa and Asia are markets with economies that are ramping up hard right now, which will increase the velocity of money worldwide, probably starting next year. Once velocity picks up again (I believe our mini-depression has bottomed as of this month), commerce kicks back into high gear in a couple years, .com and .tv prices will soar, with the obvious value-play being .tv due to current prices and un-reg’d domains presently just sitting out there.
– TBC
Big
While I share you enthusiasm for .Tv domains, i don’t know if your going to see great growth out of Africa, they are still getting clean water to most of the population, don’t think its going to be 25+ years until they get HD or 3D TV
Here’s what I’ve hand-reg’d this week – betting on both an economic recovery and .tv going mainstream:
WichitaHomes.TV
LincolnHomes.TV
MadisonHomes.TV
MilwaukeeHomes.TV
MemphisHomes.TV
SpringfieldHomes.TV
ColumbiaHomes.TV
DurhamHomes.TV
LexingtonHomes.TV
JacksonHomes.TV
MontgomeryHomes.TV
FortWayneHomes.TV
AkronHomes.TV
EvansvilleHomes.TV
TopekaHomes.TV
HuntsvilleHomes.TV
ToledoHomes.TV
@MHB,
I’m not talking about Africa using 3d or .tv, just their economies growing at thrice the rate of Europe and North America over the next five years….Asia will grow even quicker. These are markets that will help lift the veil of malaise from our anglo-saxon eyes. Once the developed economies (U.S., Euro, etc.), the domain market will kick into high gear at a rate not seen probably ever. Consumer electronics geared towards web-media will be huge, which will help to spur even more demand for developed content. It’s going to be like the “roaring 20’s” for web-media and affiliated products/services over the next decade.
– TBC
Meant to say:
“Once the developed economies begin to show real growth (U.S., Euro, etc.), the domain market will kick into high gear at a rate not seen probably ever.”
something i have never bought into in a big way
the only .tv i own is
3-Dadult.TV
another one is .in have these at my disposal bought quite a while ago now
3dwarehouse.in
mobile3d.in
phone3d.in
4gp.in
5-g.in
just a thought anyone bought any 5g names ?
@MHB
.. i love the whole ‘presentation’ thing… nice grab on that one…
i was, however, able to grab ‘AR Presentation(s).com’ (Augmented Reality), which i really like too.
– – – – –
@Big Cheese
… maybe i should clarify something because i can see how what i said can be misunderstood…
… as long as there is an internet, yes, domain names and internet protocol will be required – i didn’t necessarily mean that domain names will be GONE
what i did mean to say was that domain ‘relevance’ and ‘value’ are going to take a big hit in the future…. i only say that because of how the web is changing and changing rapidly…. you could probably argue that apps will be your new means to show your stuff in the future, with no need for anyone to know the domain name at all….
.. facebook and twitter .. linkedin.. etc… are also changing domain behavior, with links being the main vehicle for driving traffic….
i don’t know facts on this one, but i bet there’s a ton more traffic being driven by TINY URL’s and twitter, facebook then there are any other form of traffic (admittedly, i’m guessing!)… and if i AM wrong, i’m sure it’s just a matter of time before those numbers catch up.
let’s not forget about how the internet is going to be implemented into our everyday media, like tv’s in the home… this is already happening.
gonna be more linking and driven by small video’s and commercials (the world can’t possibly get enough video these days)… the actual domain name in the next 20 years WILL be less significant
and again.. i don’t mean tomorrow – but the changes are already happening.
… Domain Name value will also have a shelf life – but so do you and i, so enjoy it while you can 🙂
@Jv
Thanks mate……..when you type in google “3dconsole” im already on page 1 at the bottom, when you type in “3d console” (with the space) Im on page 3 in the middle! Work it baby, work it baby!
…….Im also having vistors from Italy, Poland, Australia, USA, Canada and China, only been up and running 4 days
little helpful, very easy tip:
you need to submit your name into the search engines.. as many as possible (there are hundreds and thousands of SE’s out there)
a nice, quick, easy quickie to grab is Internet Business Promoter’
use this to submit your site into a few hundred SE’s in one shot… it will take you pretty much step by step – very easy to use, but very good too.
. . . . .
pick five top words you want to get placement on.
3d console
3d consoles
3d gaming console
.. whatever five words you want .. six if you must
… implement that into your title tag by relevance
.. 3d console being first… 3d gaming being second.. etc..
make sure you add that exact string into the body of your website
.. whatever you have chosen for relevance (3d console), make sure that’s the string mentioned the most… followed by the second.. and third.. etc..
– – – – –
you’ll get visitors from EVERYWHERE.. but don’t get too excited about that… some of those are nothing more spiders and bots just indexing your page(s) or scanning your site.
– — – –
and when you’re ready
.. LINKS, LINKS, LINKS, LINKS
drop ’em everywhere
– – – – –
and to go full circle with my above post
… this is very important
make sure you setup a twitter page, facebook account and a linked in acct.
arguably, the three most important sites going right now for social marketing and feed them with constant updates… my twitter pages have outranked dot coms before in google
– – –
good luck with your name buddy 🙂
.. and as SD would have said.
.. “Now that i just gave you $500 worth of FREE ADVICE – maybe you’ll buy me a drink when you”re rich!”
(tell me that’s not you SD)
hahah
..all in fun broey!
just grabbed these:
CHILDRENSBOOKS3D.COM
KIDSBOOKS3D.COM
COLORINGBOOK3D.COM
3DSCHOOLBOOKS.COM
3DSTORIESFORKIDS.COM
with 3d printing going mainstream these looked like a good bet.
@Jv
Thanks for the advice as always mate, if im rich you can be my car driver, that ok?
Cheers
🙂
……Im also adding another 3 years reg onto it, So its mine till 2014! Been given FREE advice off a top dude……….suppose that makes him an end-duder!
After bashing 3D domains, a little lightbulb went off in my cranium, and well…I registered a few:
3DChalkboard.com
3DChalkboards.com
3DChalkboardPaint.com
3DDryEraseBoard.com
3DDryEraseBoards.com
3DMarkerBoard.com
3DMarkerBoards.com
Chalkboard.TV
Hope I don’t regret these 🙂
– TBC
The above registrations ARE for sale, as quickly as possible…no plans to develop them.
End-user = Is someone happy to take your domain off you
End-duder = Is someone happy to take your domain and when you say “no”, they give you free advice and stay happy
Free-advice = Stu
I thought about registering “3DFarm.TV”, but passed. Go ahead Stu…
On second thought, I might develop “3DChalkboard.com” & “Chalkboard.TV”…have a couple ideas floating around in the noggin’…
Aaaaargh someone stop me 🙂
.co
said i would stop at 10
3ddating.co
3dhawaii.co
3dxxx.co
3dadvertising.co
3dconsole.co
3dmobiles.co
3DSPORTS.CO
3DEVENTS.CO
3Dauto.co
3D-VIDEO.CO
3Dscanning.co
@The Big Cheese
Im alright for now thanks mate, just planning on developing now, Ive moved up a gear……….into 1St
BTW … i also don’t announce all my most recent registrations…
.. there’s one i’m still holding back on telling you all about a little longer, but hopefully you’ll understand why)
but here are a few of the last hand regged names i was able to grab within the last few weeks:
• Arizona3d.com (the last remaining U.S. state i could find – and a top ten state at that)
• LIVE3d.net (i have alerts on this string – pretty big!!)
• 3-dAdvertising.com (yes – hand regged – dash or not – i LOVE IT! – the dash might actually help to define this name, not really, but i like it anyway)
• 3dWeddingPhotography.com (LONG but STRONG in an emerging industry!)
• 3-dShop.com (if you ask me, a domain like this has the potential to be long lasting – past the current 3d trends, with virtually no limits to what you can use it for)
• 3dDisplayAdvertising.com (Watch how this one grows – a little bit of a longer shelf life – also refers to holographic advertising)
feedback, as always, is welcomed
Just finished my http://www.3dsmartphone.com site, again!! Just basic really. 🙂

Ive managed to get my 3DSMARTPHONES.CO.UK domain to Google Page 1 , Just went onto google and typed in “3d smartphones” and Im 3rd on page 1. WTF
Great News Stuart!!!!!
Congrats!!
couple of things to note:
• you have just experienced the power in domain names!!!
• you are only ranking your co.uk name on google.co.uk
nowhere to be found on google.com (either dot com or co.uk)
… i’d still be happy though.. it has to start somewhere man!
Congrats and good luck again with your name
all i want is for 3dsmartphones.co.uk to be in the uk google, makes sense really, want the .com for to be in the big one! Happy smiles anyway!
Hey everybody .. quick question
does anybody see ANY potential in a reverse marketing of the term ‘3d’?
tech names can always be fun (and hard) to try and speculate, so what i mean by this is does anybody see ANY potential in marketing your site as “D3 product.com”
figure something like D3Dating … or D3Games
(surprisingly (?) these are both taken already , as are most ‘D3″ names – you wouldn’t believe it)
yes, it can be considered a typo, but i think it has marketability…
…figure something like ‘Dimension 3 Games’..etc.
i can see a few companies in the future growing tired of ‘3d’ and needing a way to stand apart a little bit … with an ‘edge’, is i guess how i think of it.
i would love some thoughts on this potential, if at all.
thanks
**note to above** important **
i don’t see this method working with product names
i can see this type of brand able working only with one word service or concept names
3dconsole.com is on page 2 of the google .com , thats good news! I think
http://www.3dtvwatcher.co.uk/toshiba-is-set-to-launch-glasses-free-3d-tv-1131/
@Stuart
Have you done any SEO? I guess it doesnt matter. Congrats on listing on the first page.
I know this is off topic…
Did anyone get any vanity X.CO names from Godaddy?
The reason why I asked is because I just checked and Godaddy now allows you to change the domain name that your X.CO is pointed at.
So now if you sell a domain name and you had a X.CO pointed at it, you can still keep the X.CO and use it with another name.
Pretty sweet stuff.
I am just seeing if anyone else had seen that?
Cheers
@ 3D Domain Names
Not too sure about the reverse thing, but i can see the typo side to it, its hard enough trying to shift 3D domains at the minute, things will change next year tho, i hope!
@Slate
No Seo mate, not sure how its there really, but it is only google uk so will have to work hard to get it into the main google
cheers
what if you could have something like D3Porn – or maybe even a bit better?
worth the gamble?
wouldnt 3dporm.com be better?
well, no
.. that’s not a brandable name
that’s just a straight typo
D3 Porn is a brandable name
@ 3D Domain names
A brandable name to who? A3porn is brandable, think its getting too silly, how about d3nrop.com, brandable?

Thanks for the great link.
Hand-reg’d 3DSantaTracker.com today…ho ho ho 🙂
Also picked up SantaTracker3D.com
i don’t know if the ‘3d’ will simply be dropped or not – i’m guessing it would be – but there should still be some value in this little beauty here:
3dHolographicPhone.com
🙂
@ 3d Domain Names

@3D Domain Names
Why was it a “Big secret holo list” ?
Just reg’d one more whilst its Christmas
HOLODJ.COM
If anyone is interested in doing a link from websites then contact me, 3DCONSOLE.COM is ready and waiting.
@ stu
man i keep saying this to everyone 🙂
add it to my directory if its not added already
soon you will have to pay for a link in it
3ddirectory.net
@@@@@ Stu, 3D domains, DMpartners and other noobies in this game:
Here’s the rules: Someone, like myself or another, gives an example. The ETHICAL rules are you do NOT go buy in their 3D/holo niche, and you use your brains to find another “noun/service” where you can use that 3D/hol0 adjective.
BAD: See what your buddies are buying, and then go invade their niche and buy domains from under them using their honest representations for “news” in this area to promote the ADJECTIVE power of 3D/Holo. If some other domainer present you with a niche using the adjective we’re all promoting here, then that’s LOWDOWN DOGSCUM cheating. Every domain you buy based on some other domainer’s ideas (nouns), you should offer up to the original promoter of that NOUN (niche) and sell it at $25 each to the original niche buyer.
If you don’t, then what you have is a bunch of domainers just picking off domains that are YOUR idea or your friends’ ideas. I want to promote 3D/Holo domains, but I’ve watched my readers (no names mentioned here) go and do massive searches on new domain selections in the same niche as the the domains I’m list.
That really peeves me, but there’s no rule that says any domainer can’t buy any domain they want. However, to be a part of a group of niche power buyers, your goal is SIMPLY THIS: FIND YOUR OWN NICHE, THEN BUY UP YOUR DOMAINS. Don’t leech off ideas of those posting their domains either here or on my blog. It just looks bad.
Some domainers rely on what they read from other domainer leads… which just tell what’s important to the posting domains of that domainer. TO STEAL FROM THEIR SUJBECT CATEGORIES just makes you look like a leecher.
So I wanna warn everyone looking to get good domains, TAKE THE NOUN or descriptive verb common to the subject matter, but don’t dip your stick into someone else’s dish.
Hope this got across so that if you want to buy 3D domains, make sure that the subject is YOUR OWN, not a sneak attack on your fellow 3/D
@Stephen
Nobody owns any words and everyone is free to reg what they want.
……I think there is enough words to go around!
…….be happy, its Christmas 🙂
@ STEPEHEN
funny that me and 3d domains have been doing that for about a year now even offering out names to each other we find had some nice ones put my way for which i am truly greatfull for and try and return the favour as much as possible by offering out names myself 🙂
@3D Cinema
Thats great mate, Ive pointed out one or two for my other mates aswell, its nice being nice. Room for all to share and care!
Stu
Ok enough already on that topic
@MHB

Nice, very nice, love Solarwatches.com, some beauties there
I only have

I think this is the next area I might focus my attention on, lacking a bit in this department.
……that said, the two products are out

solarshavers – http://70.32.84.178/getsolar/13935-solar-shavers-have-arrived
@MHB
.. nice stash man … how long have you been sitting on those?
encouraging to see a top shelf domainer with some length in his domains… gives me hope for a bunch of mine… not necessarily solar, but in general.
solar water tanks, solar roofing panel, and the solar battery ones are nice 🙂
best of luck with your names.
my list might not be as prolific as yours, but i still think i have some sweethearts in the bunch with lots of end-user potential

** i did some number on New York / NY, huh? **
I like SolarEnergyCo.com the best
SolarEnergy.Co would make a natural addition, showing as registry reserved which means it should be hitting the auction market at some point.
I like AmericanSolarPower.com much more than I like AmericaSolarPower.com
It looks like its for sale at Sedo (not mine) you might want to pick it up to go with

Here is why 3D domains will be huge and profitable.
What makes 3D such a big thing is the fact that the viewer will have to pay full attention to the movie, advertisement or website they are looking at. Whatever they are watching they will be looking for the next thing flying at them or the next cool effect. 3D is a mind buzz its not for the casual viewer. I remember seeing U2 in 3D and I will tell you I was looking all over that screen to see the littlest thing. The ending of that show was better than the entire concert and everyone walked out because they thought it was over. I wanted see every inch and I’m glad I stayed to the end it was a 3D masterpiece.
When a 3D website is going to be built it’s not going to be just slapped together a company is going to have to build a 100 – 200 thousand dollar mind experience. When one company produce’s it and gets to market first just like Avatar the rest of the companies will follow right along.
Consumers will have to know that what they are about to click on is going to be a 3D experience so it must have 3D in the domain. If a consumer is not into 3D then that companies 2D website will be there for them. Once revenues from 3D websites show 10 percent increases or higher every domain name will be snatched up. Right now its a wait and see game but soon this will change, The new LED HD 3D TVS that are internet ready through wifi will be a showcase for these 3D websites that you are going to see , This will be The New Internet. These websites will be there own 3D channels instead of websites even though they are coming through the internet.
I think new investment dollars will come and come quick when this thing starts to go,
Don’t think every company is going to just keep there domain and add a slash they will advertise JoeBlow3d.com to make it easier for consumers to find the sites. If you have not already seen Apple has received a patent for its new 3D Virtual World Web and once that kicks off and YouTube3D kicks off its all over.
I can see a TOYO Tire buying tires3d.com for easy search, hey are you going to Google to put in TOYO or tires ? If you see tires3D.com are you going to say gee 3D tires what’s that and boom the company will see traffic like no other. Just the curiosity factor alone will be enough for all 3D domains to flourish

heres how i see things sports domains should be seeing some interest soon after all thats what everyone is concentrating on to make up the shortfall in 3d content with live sports events etc taking the main stage following this we should start to see 3d on demand/ppv and channels dedicated to 3d popping up a little bit more sky3d was quite an adventurous one so early but they seen the gap and filled it thats why sky are who they are after all this starts to settle into mainstream along will come the porn when this happens thats it 3d has landed and will be with us for a long time untill all this happens we have to sit around of course its not as clear cut as this but you get the idea so what timescale can we expect my guessing 2015
fpr tvs will take center stage soon the new technology is dubbed FPR for Film Patterned Retarder, which is said to be vastly superior to previous 3D liquid crystal display (LCD) systems also even outdating led somewhat.tv tech is moving far too fast for consumers to keep up thats not a good thing for 3d its makes consumers reluctant to spend large amounts of money on something thats going to be outdated in a matter of months and thats what is needed consumers need to buy the tvs in order to produce a market for content.Imagine just having bought a 3dtv just before xmas and reading now about the new systems that will be coming outdating your very expensive purchase.The major companies need to agree a standard for now and stick to it so consumers are not perplexed and run away bringing out all this at once is no good for 3d i understand the motif behind it but i dont agree with it.
CNN Names 3D TV as one of the top 10 Tech Fails of 2010 (actually #2)
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/innovation/12/28/tech.fails.year/index.html?hpt=C2
@ mhb
main problems was price of the products and no content plus the uncertainty behind 3d being successfull tbh i expect it will pick up in the new year consumers were wary and didnt fully understand what was being offered to them if you asked most people around 40 they expect it to be like the old 3d days nothing new untill they actually walk in a shop and see it for themselves thats what i have seen myself from my own personal experience could be wrong but thats the way i see it 🙂

@Stu,
I hope you have HoloPhone.com & HoloPhones.com, because the “smart” will be dropped for brevity’s sake.
– TBC
@Big Cheese
Has the “smart” been dropped for “3D” ?
3DPHONE.COM
3DSMARTPHONE.COM
3DMOBILEPHONE.COM
all have a place, 5 years time is no different, but we will see
HOLOPHONE.COM
HOLOGRAPHICPHONE.COM
HOLOSMARTPHONE.COM
HOLOMOBILEPHONE.COM
ALL HAVE A PLACE
“HOLO” cant replace part of a key word like “MOBILE” or “Cell” just to leave “phone” as you will see with “3D”, its not that far into the future, only 4-5 years away, are you saying we will have “Holotops” instead of “Hololaptops” ?
To be honest, nobody knows anything right now, only what we read off some websites, so anything can happen, the term “holo” might even not be used, who knows? Its all guessing work for now……..
@Stu,
“Smart” is an adjective for the “Phone” its describing; while “Laptop” is a noun…you take the “Lap” out of “Laptop” and you’re left with something spinning on your tile floor.
– TBC
Still, has “3D” replaced the “Smart” ? “Holo” is the feature of a product, like “3D” is now!
@Stu,
Yes, I believe it will.
– TBC
ok, type in Sedo “3dsmartphone” and see how many people have reg’d “3dsmartphone” domains. I know a lot of reg’d “3dphone”, “3dmobile” and “3dcellphone” domains, but like i said before, they all have a place, it just boils down to who says what!
and another thing, try and buy “3DSMARTPHONES.COM”, “3DCELLPHONE.COM”. “3DMOBILEPHONE.COM”, “3DCELLPHONES.COM” AND “3DMOBILEPHONES.COM” for under $10k
…….Trust me, ive tried!
Do any of you think 3dcellph.com is a good name or does th ph ruin it.
I know it being parked for 8 mos ive had like one click.
health warning for 3DS console
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/29/3d-is-dangerous-not-dangerous-nintendo-3ds-warning-label-edit/
There are warnings of this exact nature on every electronic device that is put out today.
This is not just on Nintendo’s new 3D Console. It’s Wii has this warning on its startup screen. Konami has it in the install phase of “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots”
This is nothing new. You shouldn’t stare at anything for extended periods of time. Before computers and televisions it was the book.
Why make a big stink over something as trivial as this?
I must question why you would hand a 6 year old anything that costs $200.00+ to begin with?
@larryp
I think 3Dcell.com would be better, see how you go with it, 3Dcellphones are nearly out ( Ooops, I mean 3Dphones), see how you get on with it over the next year!
what CNN thinks about the 3d technology… looks like we’ll have to wait just a bit longer then expected.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE AND HERE’S TO A TOP 2011, BRING IT ON!
@Stu how much have you spent on 3d domains?
@undgifr
Nothing, because I have sold more than i have spent!
YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
…….through Sedo, Go-daddy and my big winner is through private sales!
…….and wait till i sell
3DCONSOLE.COM
3DSMARTPHONE.COM
3DHORROR.COM
the key is to buy once you have sold, example, I just sold 3Dvideoblog.com for $234 and that has paid for HOLOGRAPHICGAME.COM ($75) and I have reg’d 6 domains via go-daddy and some of them are using go-daddy discount codes so at the min im left with $124. I already have another “holo” domain lined up for $75 (KILLER) so I will leave $49 in my paypal for now. In the past i have made £768 (ENGLISH MONEY) through Sedo only on 3D names alone and with that money i reinvested and bought 3DCONSOLE.COM for £453 ($700) and invested the rest on red’g names, only spend profits, never dipp in pockets! REMEMBER!!!

Nice mate, have you not reg’d any with just “Holo” ? Ive covered 3 areas, hologram, holographic and holo. I know a lot of people are doing 3dhologram, 3dholographic and 3dholo domains. however Im not jumping on that wagon, I do think from what i have seen on the internet that the 3 areas i have done are pretty solid. This is only my opinion of course, too many words just spoil it for me.
I think when 3D becomes mainstream all the news coming out regarding 3d holograms, 3d holographics and 3d holo, you will see the 3d fade because it will be the norm. So when you speak of holograms, holographics and holo you will know that they will automatically be 3D. Again, only my opinion.
I thought i had some good holo domains, check this website out
http://3dholoworld.com/index.php
Thank you GOD! The domain I purchased in November has finally landed in my account –
HOLO.CO.UK
Also just bagged up –
HOLOGAMING.COM – for $75
I Love LIFE!
Ive put all my domains on a little web page
http://WWW.HOLODOMAINS.COM
Not the best of designs but will do for now!
Just nailed 3DEscort.com
Can’t believe that was dropped.
“Just nailed 3DEscort.com”
Hah.. no pun intended I’m sure 🙂
Has anyone any 3D domians with the .mobi extension ? Would they be any good?
Any response would be great!
MHB, what do you think?
@Stu
http://3dholoworld.com/index.php
Some nice names, but not the best I have seen, the better keywords are not .COM, which hurts a lot of the names
Should still do well with them though
I have one 3dtouchscreen.mobi.
I don’t think i would get to carried away with .mobi
@Giles
What do you think of 3d domains with .mobi ? I guess anything to do with 3dmobiles / 3dphones / 3dcellphone / would be good ?
I wouldn’t get too carried away either
@Giles
I love them domains on that site, they are the best ive seen owned by one person!
would you say 3dtv.tv is a valuable domain ?
Stu
How do you define valuable?
worth more than $10k
In my opinion, 3D is going to be strong but a short lived passing phase. You would be best served by sticking with .com,.net, .org, .info, and maybe .co (depending on the Superbowl commercial outcome). Don’t go into too obscure extensions.
Just my opinion
Cheers
@slate
Even if the word is a very strong 3D one?
Slate not with 60 million 3D phones coming and Sony ready to buy IMAX 3D
3D will be here for a long time. 10 years plus, You are correct about staying with the .coms
I only think that it will be short lived because the advancements that are being made are happening so fast that 3D will then turn into something like 4D or Holograms before you know it.
They are already pushing holograms over in the other countries…(Japan I think).
It wont be long until someone comes out with a very expensive and bulky hologram TV for sale on the open market… then only a few years later will you see prices drop.
Think about it this way… DVDs only been out in the USA since 1997 (13 years) and now they are being phased out by Blu-Ray and digital format. Technology based markets do not last long now a days. Technology life span will continue to get shorter and shorter because of the rate that we are seeking to improve it.
I only give 3D 5-8 years myself. We have not hit the peak yet but I do not see this as a staying market. It will be over taken by the next big thing that will NOT be very far behind.
Its the natural way of things.
Just my opinion
Cheers
Slate
Forget 4D never going to see that mainstream. As far as Holograms for sure but not mainstream. 3D will have the widest range of mainstream appeal. IMO
Everyone will be able to use 3D to see there products ,
@Stu
I wouldn’t bother with .mobi, the extension has sunk to the bottom if you have a look at sales in the last 2 years or so. Personally, I wouldn’t bother with .MOBI, unless you had 3D.mobi?
Guys, its alway better to have 4 or 5 great names names, than a whole bunch of good .co.uk, .net and other names that dont work bcause of the keyword order or the keywords themselves. There are some nice names in the HOLO section (HoloBusiness.com, HoloGambling.com, HoloDownload.com), but the rest are Holographic, Holographics etc and to me that will never take off, mainly due to the length, just like “HighDefinition” didn’t take off in domains, it’s been abbreviated to all sorts, like Hidef, Highdef, HighDef etc
If you look at the 3D/Holo section, most of the names are 3DHoloKeyword or Holo3DKeyword, repeating yourself like that has never worked in domaining and never will , and even though they don’t mean exactly the same thing, it will be defined by a single term, or either 3D or Holo will become extinct. (thats if “Holo” ever becomes an accepted term, its still only used by a few of us at the moment) – Its like having a domain like this – HD3DBlurayPlayer.com, it just doesn’t work
I agree with Slate as well, stick with .COM/net and maybe a few stronger country codes, like .DE, .ES, .CO.UK etc
Stu, unless yo have 3D, 3-D, 3DTV et in the more obscure extensions, I wouldn’t bother, they will never make you the big $$$, unless of course you get lucky or really know how to sell, and that takes a lot of hard work and selling experience
I have only focused on the main terms when I looked at reging names in other less-known extensions (3DTV.sg (Singapore), 3DTV.ae (United Arab Emirates), 3DTV.co.in (India) and a few others) – thats where the money lies in waiting
Stick to the main extensions if you want to make money people
Good luck in 2011 everyone
I agree Holographic will be shortened to HG for sure. Try to register anything HG and you will see most are gone, HGsex gone HGporn gone, Many have been gone for a long time.
@dmpartners
But if you look at the good ones like HGSports.com, HGSport.com, HGTravel.com etc, these are legit companies, nothing to so with holographics, so they weren’t regged for that reason
I have just hand-regged these just in case, always have your fingers in the all the pies

……oh, and on all of the StarWars films!!
from the Starwars wiki
“A hologame table was a simple table that comprised a hologram generator within a table-sized cylindrical base, with a black-and-white checkerboard pattern on the top surface.
Used in the game of Dejarik, holomonsters – full-color, three-dimensional hologram playing pieces measuring between 5-30 cm tall – would be projected on the board. The pieces all resembled creatures, real and mythic, from throughout the galaxy, including the Mantellian Savrip, Grimtaash the Molator, Ghhhk, Houjix, Ng’ok, Kintan Strider, K’lor’slug, and the Monnok. These pieces, when moved by the player, actually acted out the moves as if really specimens of their species. If the pieces were not used for a certain amount of time or the game was abandoned by both players, they would simulate boredom. “

Hey it was 1.67 on Go Daddy
3dTV is not dead. I’ve turned down two offers from a Fortune 100 company for Broadscape.com – the Dir. of Development told me they’re going to start a 3dTV division by 2012 and at the time they were going to name the product “Broadscape”, but their highest offer for Broadscape.com was missing at least one zero, and we have development plans for this domain anyway so I wasn’t very motivated to sell.
My point is, 3dTV is only going to grow, probably will be integrated into the new smart-tv platforms.

@Giles
“I don’t think the Star Wars movies really count regarding this technology”
I would rather count a multi trillion pound movie than listening to dmpartners.
Im leaving this topic alone now.
I am 99% sure that this will be the norm and im willing to change my name to prove it
from – Stuart Hollington
to – Stuart Holoington
Stu, none of know the what will be the norm, so its best to cover a few bases with 5 or 6 domains in different areas
Th trick with domaining is to have say 5-10 strong keywords in various niches, rather than putting all your money on what you think will be the adopted term
Who knows, it could be holographic, Holo, HG or even something totally different, its best to get a few in each but make sure they are strong keywords or strong brandable names..
99% is pretty certain considering its just domainers at the moment, and the odd person in the holographic industry that I have spoken to, and these have not been the big hologram companies either.
I wonder how many domainers have actually spoken to CEO’s and other knowledgeable people in the hologram/3D industry to find out what they think, because this is where the word/phrase will get adopted from, certainly not from us domainers. I have learnt that lesson before.
All I am saying is don’t put all your eggs in one basket
@Giles
I do understand mate, Im only having a laugh at the end of the day!! 🙂
Really it could be anything, it could be HO, HC, HM etc etc…….
I would just be carefull not registering too many ( same applies with me ), but one thing I am sure about, if HG was the term to be used Im sure that domian would have been under lock and key for the last 5 years!! Only my opinion!
And on that note, just reg’d
HOLOADULT.COM
Stu….I only have 6 “Holo” or “HG” names, I think you need to slow down a bit Mr Regaholic lol
No-one knows what it will be called, thats why here are so may gems still out there undiscovered, even the big firms like Sony, LG, Panasonic have no idea what it will be called, they all have ideas what they would like it to be branded as, but as to what will actually happen, is anybody’s guess
With FT domains, you can’t really say “if thats what the term will will be, then that name would have been regged ages ago” because we don’t know what will be used yet, thats the joy of FT domains, I guess try and cover all bases, or speak to the big boys in the industry, they will have a better idea and thats what I am doing.
My focus is slowly moving away from 3D/Holographic and into other areas of future trends, there are all sorts of new technologies in development. When all the names worth grabbing are gone and the aftermarket names are too expensive to justifying forking out big $$, its best to look at other areas
Good luck

“Let’s go way into the future. HDTVs are in the value bins at electronics stores, OLED 3D TVs have reached the end of their product lifecycle, and the technology for something bigger and better is available. It’s the year 2020, and that technology is the holographic TV. Whether we call it “holographic TV,” Holo TV” or “Hologram TV,” there’s one thing for sure: it looks nothing like a TV…perhaps, it’s just a pane of glass, or a box lid-shaped device that rests on the floor. When turned on, the holographic TV emits a 3D image into thin air, with objects that are visible from a 360-degree viewing angle.”

You have to research where these articles come from mate, I read a lot of articles and then I find out some dodgy domainer or some clown wrote it to promote his own agenda. You can’t believe all this stuff you read on the net. There are plenty of articles on the net like this and only a few come reputable sources
@Dmpartners
How did you get on with submitting 3DMOBILENETWORK.COM into Sedo’s Premium auction, did they accept it?
@Giles
“Holographic, Holographics etc and to me that will never take off, mainly due to the length, just like “HighDefinition” didn’t take off in domains”
How much do you think HOLOGRAM.COM, HOLOGRAPHIC.COM and HOLO.COM could fetch? HIGHDEFINITION.COM has never been in the same league, even 12 months before it was changed to “HD”.
This is the reason why i am registering domains with these words in (like yourself with Holo)!
I fully understand why you have reg’d HGPHONE.COM and the other one and i fully understand that not all articles speak the truth, but for now I will stick with adding the Premium words with others.
Because over the last 2 decades we have had “HD” and now “3D” doesn’t mean the next big thing has to be shortened to two characters, as we all know trends change and what has gone in the past doesn’t mean will be in the future.
But it is all good, I would love to be wrong, It doesn’t bother me and never will do as this is a hobby for me and just a bit of fun, I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth so I dont miss what ive never had!
All good!
……just one more point.
The words “High Definition” and “3 Dimensional” or “Three Dimensional” are two words or numeric and word, so that is why you have two parts together “HD” & “3D”. HOLOGRAM AND HOLOGRAPHIC is one word! Cut it in half? Ill stick with the full word, only my opinion!
…..I fully understand tho, if “HOLOGRAPHIC” and “HOLOGRAM” can be shortened to “HOLO” it can also become “HG”, just not for me that’s all!
Where’s 3D Domain Names gone? Im sure he will have something to say on this!
Stu
No they did not except any of my 3D Domains. So I deleted my account,
My reserve for 3DMobileNetwork.com was 7 figures , And Im sure they have no clue about what is happening in the 3D World, They have 1 3D Domain in the auction and that is 3D.com Funny thing go to Go Papa and punch in 3D.com
it’s say invalid domain.
@ Giles
Finally, someone who is actually doing a strategic overview of holographic trends for products. I understood the exact same concept, where we might not be watching “TV” holograms, even tho it probably will be called that, it will most likely be a “hologram table’, where the image is projected upon a table and then adjusted accordingly depending on where everyone is sitting. There will be six panes around the table to allow each viewer to select the pane that shows the side, backside, front, etc, as the view they want to look at, along with the overall image projected onto the table.
I own HOLOGRAMTV.COM, and… ummm… before all of you go running to buy “HOLOGRAMTABLE.COM”, that’s mine too.
I’ve talked to a few holographic researchers in my quest to get the “real” future of entertainment. There is some exciting news from them, but I’m not giving it to my buddy Em-Bee! He’s got 1,200+ comments on this blog! Gotta go to my blog – which I’m not stating here out of respect for Em-Bee… plus, you should know it by now.
I can tell you that these products will be available much sooner than anyone expected. Think 3-5 years.
For those of you with balls, I’ll sell HologramTV.com and HologramTable.com for $50,000 each, payable within 30 days. After that, never write about what you sold those domains for in 2015. I don’t want to jump off a cliff.

i will start investing in 3d domains
Reg’d update3d.com
@jesse esin
Do NOT invest in 3D domains just for the sake of investing in 3D domains. Make sure you do your research and come up with quality names.
Just dont grab any old thing… 3D will NOT be all encompassing. Bird crap will still be bird crap even if you see it in 3D or 2D.
Just my opinion.

i have SO much to catch up on here
.. for some reason, i have not been able to post for days
… it looks like changing my email address fixed the problem
… unless you don’t want me to post anymore (?)
anyway… real quick because i’m excited
.. UNRELATED 3d News..
.. CES 2011…
ALL – ABOUT – THE – TABLETS
2011 will easily be known as The Year Of The Tablet
Lot’s of really cool stuff coming out in Tablet World..
… you have Tablet Phone Hybrids, and Tablet Laptops where you can pop the screen out and use it as a tablet, but once you pop it back in – it’s a laptop once again… very cool stuff…
.. you have tablet / printers .. and tablet tv’s… the tablet is starting to make much more sense now
… can’t believe with all the hype – the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching from their computers – that i was able to just sneak these in.. pretty excited, really:
• AIO Tablet.com
• All In One Tablet.com
• Tablet AIO.com
• Tablet All In One.com
.. and just for fun – and a shot in the dark, i also grabbed:
• GetPCTablet.com
*The stronger term is actually ‘Tablet PC’ (if you can believe, this is searched more than ‘Tablet’ by itself), but this term is also pretty nice going forward i think.
– – – – – –
As for the 3dPrinting.com sale
… i know it’s not the same thing, but i do have:
• 3dPrint.us
and
• 3dPrinting.us
kinda happy about that!!
– – – – – – –
i don’t know if anybody sae this news.. it was never posted here… but did you see the guys who hacked the Kinnect to feature motion and gesture Porn??
haha .. yup!!… it’s about to get rowdy!!!

.. and yet another name i was tickled pink to be able to grab shortly after the news hit:
• IA Porn.com
SWEET!!!

That Glasses-Free drop i caught the other day seems to be a pretty nice catch right about now with all these companies talking about Glasses-Free 3d (tv’s, laptops and phones) … Sony , Toshiba and a few others have made some SERIOUS strides in this department… talking about a Q3/Q4 release
THAT’s the game changer we’ve been waiting for boys n girls

i want to talk holo and give my thoughts on this discussion, but maybe a little later… this should be enough out of me for a bit

@ 3D Domain Names
How long have you had your website up?
Just curious
Cheers
Hey Slate
.. i set that up under a dot info in January of last year
had NO plans on taking this thing this far
i made the switch to the dot com in August, i think – maybe september??
it was setup pretty poorly in the beginning and ran into SERPS issues, so i redid the whole thing alittle more SERP friendly with proper categories and sections..etc…
i rank page one for well over a hundred terms with it now (seriously)
thanks 🙂

Hey Gnanes
.. that’s a customized Joomla template i made.
stripped down whatever i started with and just did my own thing.
i have a lot of implementations in place for expansion already, but have yet to get back to the site and set everything up properly.
when i look at 3dprinting.com selling for 25,500 euros i cant help but think what does that make 3dprinter domains worth i dont own the .com but i do have 3dprinters.info not the same as a .com ill grant you but still try and get a 3d print orientated name you wont find one un less you are ready to pay also have
3d-printers.net
printing3d.info
scanning and printing sit alongside each other so its an interesting thought how it affects 3d scanner/scanning domains also all i have here is 3Dscanning.co
oh and nothing left in them either

Looks good but Camcorder.com is a zero and there are millions of regular camcorders, Lets hope the 3D version fairs better
Camcorder.com is a zero?

Just a click through site. 3Dcamcorder.com is the winner .
Unless you can develope this and sell 3d camcorders.
Then you have something

hey guys.. whattaya think of this one?
Ever hear of QI technology yet?
in a nutshell, it’s a new standard in wireless charging (inductive charging)
Here’s a nice, quick little summary
The day when you can place your laptop on a table that has a wireless charger embedded into it and automatically charge your electronics is closer than you think.
Qi (pronounced “chee”) is the new global standard for wireless charging stations, set by the Wireless Power Consortium. The goal is life unplugged, without all those wires, chargers
and power cords. Any device with a Qi-enabled accessory or with Qi built directly into it can charge on any Qi inductive charging pad. You’ll be hard pressed to find a Qi-enabled device today, so if you want to get in on the action, expect to purchase a Qi-enabled accessory to make your devices compatible.
This is a burgeoning industry with a variety of players looking to get in on the action
Full article here–>http://www.digitaltrends.com/gadgets/qi-technology-introduces-wireless-charging-stations/
this is not a concept – this is an official standard now so devices are starting to roll out with this feature… here’s another idea about a “Fulton Innovation with eCoupled wireless Tesla, inductive + cereal boxes”
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/06/fulton-innovation-blows-our-minds-with-ecoupled-wireless-tesla/
i’m sure you all get the idea
.. well… i just took a gamble on a brandable in this niche and would love your feedback:
• QINNECTED.COM™
even though QI is pronounced CHEE, i would still say this “Connected”
i know you could probably make the ‘Kinnect’ comparison’s and UDRP stories, but a kinnect site is not my intended use for this name (especially in bad faith) and i think that if i define that on the site itself, i should steer towards a different target properly.
.. so .. am i crazy.. or this a pretty good brandable reg?
@MHB
@SD
.. would especially like to hear your thoughts on this
thanks 3d domains
@ 3D Domain Names
Very nice reg mate, I like that one. I think at the min “3DCAMCORDER” gets 3,600 exact monthly serches and “CAMCORDER3D” gets 210 , still early days though and with your website developing skills Im sure you will be a winner all the way to the bank.
Well done again mate!

I think I read something about solar recharging just recently , Phones and Laptops recharged from the sun rays. Not sure where I saw that
Just submitted the app for trademark on 3DMobileNetwork
I suggest you find your most valuable 3D Domains and get the app submitted.
325.00 and you are set, Look at Sony they took 2 Domains down
3Net.com and 3DTVNetwork.com That’s not playing fair,
Solar chargers are fine… but not the same thing.
this is a UNIFIED, WIRELESS recharging system…
it uses Inductive Charging:
“Inductive charging is one of the more useful technologies around as
it allows us to charge our gadgets without having to physically
plug them into a charger”
ok.. that was cool, but we still have to lay our devices down on some kind of a mat or a pad to actually generate that energy to be recharged
until now.
.. now..
.. we’re all wireless…
.. now, we can recharge our devices without the need to PLUG IN to ANYthing
…so picture wireless hubs or transmitters every 100 feet or so in whatever facility you want – hotel, mall, parking lot, your home..whatever..
and your “QI Enabled” device (you will be seeing that term a lot more on boxes and the branding of all your products soon). will be charging wirelessly… just like you receive your internet on your phone or laptop… only this transmission is electricity.
… charge your phone, your laptop, your tablet – in the future our electric cars will charge while sitting in the parking lot
pretty cool stuff.. if u have the time.. look into it a little further
.. and yes.. then you implement solar into this and man… how cool is that?
.. so QINNECTED.com is what i came away with and i’m pretty excited about it. Maybe that description helps put that name in a better perspective?
if not, you can always consider the alternatives with a name like this
.. like solar industry (see smart grids, homes, cars), the social industry (whether movies, marketing, gaming… ) and even the Mobile world with sites like foursquare showing what can be done with social and mobile
and the term ‘Connected’ is searched 22,000 a month
pair that up with good content.. sky’s the limit.
Wish me luck 🙂
maybe this picture helps give a better idea:

Hi dmpartners i have 3dmobilenetworks.com
Personally i really don’t think its all that valuable.
If you plan on selling it why trademark it,unless of course you have plans to use it.
There is really nothing there but a name.
Common Law Rights
You do not have to register a trademark to use one or have legal claims (called common law rights), however, federal registration has several advantages including notice to the public of the ownership of the mark, a legal presumption of ownership nationwide, and the exclusive right to use the mark on or in connection with the goods or services.
Common law rights arise from actual use of a mark. Generally, the first person to either use a mark in commerce or file an intent-to-use application with the USPTO has the ultimate right to the use and registration of a mark.
So, when you combine 3D-tv viewing with the 4th dimension of smell or taste, and then throw in the social TV aspect, are we talking “5D TV”?
I know, sounds crazy…just trying to think out of the box.

Just wold a domain name for $500 that has to do with FOOD of all things. (Had for 2 years, total investment: $20.00) While not a 3D Item (as the tech items are in 3D), it is a store that sells Food. I will give the name once the money is in my account.
Acquired 5D.TV for a future direct-to-web media arm of our business.

Oh no The Big Cheese has entered the 5th dimension….
Dont go into the light….
LOL

That 3dprinting.com sale was huge, and most don’t even know why it sold for $25,000 Euro.
3d-printing, as in the manufacturing industry…it’s going to be absolutely huge, 100x bigger than everything talked about at CES this week combined. 3-d printing will be the biggest economic paradigm shift the modern world has ever seen.
– TBC (JewelryPrinter.com – DressPrinter.com)
Larry P
3DMobileNetworks.com is not worth anything because of it being plural.
OTOH 3DMobileNetwork.com is going to be huge, 60 Million Mobile Devices will be coming in 3D in about 12 months , Sony just launched the 3DTVNetwork so it’s obvious there will be a 3DMobileNetwork very soon, As far as the TM I don’t want anyone using the 3DMobileNetwork brand without buying the .com. As in what Sony looks like they did, Now correct me if Im wrong but there was a 3Net.com and a 3DTVNetwork.com and Sony did not buy either but they are using both names for there branding, If they were both TM they would have to buy the entire package, We also have 3DGlobalNetwork.com and noticed a company using our name in there header of there website, So we are protecting our valuable name and brand know as 3DMobileNetwork.com
Hi dmpartners
I not sure if sony owns the .coms of those names or not ,that dosen’t stop them however from
using them under there brand.
Just as if i were to trademark 3dtv, all sony has to do is trademark sony3dtv, Sanyo can do the same, and so can the others.
So if 3dmobilenetworks becomes mainstream ,there is nothing stopping say bell calling it
bell3dmobilenetwork, virgin can do the same under there brand name.
Thats the way i understand it.
But if you trademark 3dmobilenetwork you can use the name itself say if you were starting up
a 3dmobilenetwork.
If anyone else can add please do.
Forget 3DTV…..

Penthouse announces world’s first adult 3D channel
The first 3D Holo TV’s will likely make an appearance at CES either next year, or the year after:

http://3dholo-tv.com/
A buddy who attended CES this year said that it was odd that so many people on the floor were talking about a product that isn’t even out yet: 3D Holo TV’s.
Some of you guys with the 3d holo domains may do well…just be patient.
– TBC
@ 3DH.TV
This is just great news .. i have spent some time in the holographic area.
.. hopefully soon, we’ll all be watching everything on “Channel Holo”
🙂
and with this news, i guess i have to tap into my ‘available holo names’ list and make sure i don’t miss out on these – so these are no longer availalbe:
• LIVE HOLO TV.com
• TV-HOLO.com
say all you want about that hyphen, but i would have NO problem walking around right now with a big fat smile on my face if i had TV-3d.com … and holographic tech is gonna DWARF 3d tv’s by a landslide!!!!
There also appears to be a secret niche market in that article.. did anyone spot it?
@3d Domains,
Holocasting
Lerry
Not at all true the words 3D Mobile Network are what the trade mark is on. Sony cannot say Sony3DMN. That is why we marked it. Unless they were using it for Fishing or something other than what those words represent. I would suggest to anyone who has a brandable 3D domain to trade mark it and fast,
STU
Sorry but every TV set sold from now on will have a 3D switch no matter if its used or not, So if you buy anything its going to have 3D built in, Mobile TV PC .
Holo
I don’t see anything brandable with the words HOLO or Holo Gram or Holo Graphic, Its going to be either H or HG or H3D Just my O of course.
@ 5D.TV
Holomercial
🙂
3D Printing .com
33 thousand dollars for this domain? The guy who sold it is a fool.
Its worth 330.000.00 Guys if you have a name like this don’t be foolish. Wait it out and get you 6 figures or in this case 7 figures.
How many companies have printers? Bad sale
Larry
Go to google and type in 3D mob see what the number 1 suggestion is.
@DMP RE: Holo dude.. you’re NUTS Holo is an AMAZINGLY
marketable term the mixing and the matching with this term is
unreal.. just look at the two that myself and 5D just posted..
highly marketable – LOTS of fun it’s not gonna be HG though… holo
is SUCH a better flow.. rolls out of your mouth better, makes much
more sense… less confusing.. all it’s own label (not to be
confused with home/garden).. you’re crazy to think there is no
marketability in that term… it might not get more marketable than
HOLO + plus it removes a lot of confusion as to ‘Is it HoloGRAM or
HoloGRAPHICS’ the only question has really been, will it keep its
full name or not. i probably have a pretty even split in my own
names between ‘Holo’ to ‘Holographic’ to ‘Hologram’ … i still
think all will still hold value in the right niche. don’t forget…
.. unlike 3d – Holographics is a new tech – not new in development
-it’s been around for fifty some odd years… but it’s not 3d where
as 3d is an ACCENT.. or an ADDITION to an already existing world
/service or product …. this is also why 3d only has a ‘window’
that we get to all play in for a while… and won’t last forever…
it might be a 5-8 year window we get to jump through, but it will
give way… we can all still make some good money here, but 3d WILL
pass the torch eventually to holographic media … making $20
million for your golden name seem JUUUUST a bit risky (to be polite
:)) i do agree that 3dPrinting should have sold for more … but 33
million? c’mon now… have you ever heard of DNJournal?
http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/lowdown/2010/dailyposts/20101105.htm
LOL…….Whats going on here? You have 3D DomainNames posting saying every domain “holo” is great then you have DMPartners posting there is nothing on the planet to do with “holo”!!! It remindes me of dumb and dumber!
This is my last post on here because i haven’t the time going over and over and over and over the same thing, IF YOU DONT BELIEVE THAT THE WORD “HOLO” WILL BE THE NEXT BIG THING AFTER 3D THEN PLEASE LEAVE THIS PLANET!
GOODBYE AND THANKS FOR HAVING ME!
……One last thing before i go…..why do people think that the word “holo” will replace half of another word? For example, do you see 3Dmercial ? NO ! so why will you see Holomercial! Some of us think that because holograms and holographic things are due out soon that all of the english language will change! We are not going to have flying cars, hover boards or even space boots in the next 15 years let alone the next 5 so please lets all not go overboard! And just do the simple thing of adding the word “holo” to another popular one!
BYE X 2
@DMpartners, It’ll be called “3DH”, not “H3D”; there are
several articles on the web using the “3DH” term for 3D-Holo-TV’s
and “3DH” is the term that was thrown around CES this week
regarding upcoming 3D-Holo-TV’s. http://www.boxofmystery.com/?p=84
Disclosure: I have 3DH.TV 🙂 – TBC
.. and therein lies the problem stuey
.. you don’t know how to read
i’ve always liked ‘Holo’ names.. have a nice handful of them myself
.. but as i mentioned – and what Giles was trying to point out to you as well – is that of .. . we don’t know ‘FOR SURE” what the ‘calling’ is going to be, so be prepared for all three options… some have also added HG into their thinking as fourth option, which makes sense as well, but yes – HOLO is a great ‘BRANDABLE’ term… i never said it wasn’t… like i said earlier.. all my Holographics domains are probably split fairly even between ‘Holo, Hologram and Holographic’.
and that’s really the point… the term ‘HOLO’ is a brandable – Holographic and/or Hologram actually fit much better for certain terms as the exact word… that’s all i’ve ever tried to say to you and my own purchases and portfolio back that up. i have some real nice holo names by itself.
.. but you should know all about my names by now, no?
.. or maybe you’d like to ask another thread somewhere for another ‘LIST’ to rummage through for ideas… eh??
– – – –
also…
.. ever hear of an ‘Info mercial’?
that was a paring of words.. in case you missed it.. that means ‘Informational Commercial’….. i think Holomercial is exactly what you would think it is.. a Holographic Commercial… not only that – great marketing and/or branding
.. this is what we do… in short – we sell marketing… why stop at just HOLO if you’re going into branding?
this obviously doesn’t work well with everything, but in some cases – Holocasting being another one – i think this all fits together very nicely.
either way, since you have vowed to never come back (you did vow that, didn’t you) i will save the rest for another time
… but until then..
.. c ya
X10
its a proven fact shorter catchier memorable names/brands catch on because of those precise reasons thats why marketing exists and why companies pay big money for it
“holo” is already used i have seen it thrown around a hell of a lot plus something has just been announced in the holograph tech world which backs this up but i am in no position to let that out the bag just yet.
oh and i am not bias for holgraph names i have been mainly watching from afar
By the way, this code save me 27% today on ANY renewal at Godaddy:

Hi DM
It would be like” 3g wireless networks “all the carriers use the name under their brand.
They don’t have to own the name to provide those services under their brand name.
Are you hoping bye trademarking it ,that some start up will want to use it as their name,
and start up a 3d mobile network under it.
@3D Cinema,
Nice 🙂
I reg’d 3DH.TV just this morning for future development – perhaps a 3DH-TV Directory once the 3DH tech becomes mainstream. It’ll be a few years…

Its not like 3G because there could be a 4G 5G 6G or 20G, That’s why Sprint called theirs the NowNetwork. There can only be 1 3D Mobile Network, There can only be 1 3D TV Network Sony did not call there network the Sony 3D TV Network. You could say the FOX3DNetwork But you can’t say Virgin3DMobile Network You could say Virgin3DNetwork The words 3DMN cannot be used in succession in there branding. Its like me saying I want to start a burger joint called Mikes Burger King the words Burger King can’t be used and with TM on 3DMN those words cannot be used either in succession. That is my understanding
Larry
Are you hoping bye trademarking it ,that some start up will want to use it as their name, and start up a 3d mobile network under it.
Bingo and not just a start up .
@DNP
so.. can u explain why you’re so excited about this Sony 3d Tv Network when they’re calling the network 3Net ?
…
also…
i don’t know where you’re located, but i’m in the states
.. and when i type in 3d MOB i see “3d mobius strip”
second is “3dMobile” and then games, and devices.. etc.. no mention of 3d mobile network on my google
if you happen to see that ‘3d Mobile Network’ string on your computer, it’s probably just because of your cache or search history
also..
.. like ALL TRU broadcasting channels and companies…
… wouldn’t that REALLY be called ‘3dMN’ if ANYthing
.. for example:
Columbia Broadcasting System = CBS
American Broadcasting Company = ABC
National Broadcasting Company = NBC
do u have any plans on buying 3dMN from its owner?.. also .. have u even tried??
..if not .. y not?.. do u honestly think 3dMobileNetwork is a better name then 3dMN?
– – – –
I have 3dWebTelevision.com – which is along the same lines i guess you could say
.. but i can’t say i expect 6 figures from a name like this, let alone 7 or 8
i can see this generating some interest at a later time, but i’m not unrealistic about it either.
@MHB
THIRTY SEVEN .. er.. thirty EIGHT posts today alone and counting!!!
.. do u have a HIGH water mark for a day?..

sorry .. DMP .. my bad
@3D Domains Names
Have you had any luck selling your 30,000 .info domains that you have flooded go-daddy with?
And as for the comment “U cant touch me with your Holo & Holographic names”
HOLOGRAPHICPC.COM
HOLOGRAPHICGAME.COM
HOLOSPORTS.COM
HOLOGAMING.COM
HOLO.CO.UK
I do believe I have passed you, once again!
P.S. I think the .info’s might be available!
@ stu
carefull you dont burn bridges within a close knit community 🙂
what r u joking me guy??
i KNOW you know what’s listed on my site
you sepnd enough time on it
DAYS on end you sit on my site ya damn leach!!!
and i already made my money back on my info’s so i’m straight, but thanks for asking.
and u speak without knowing what ‘falls’ out of your mouth
if you actually did your OWN research you would know what kind of names i have in holographics
.. but instead, you’d rather BEG people to tip their cards to you so you can STEAL some more idea’s
BTW.. holosmartphone and holopc??
c’mon dude
.. and 3dcinema..
… staurt’s bridge is already ash with a few people i know of
go read another WOOKIE article and grab your next domain fool
Hey if any person can sell a .INFO for a profit… there there is no need to demean that person.
At least .INFO is one of the more popular extensions. The people that I have trouble understanding are those who purchase names in more obscure extensions or if they make up names like 33dttv, 3dddtv or something withing that realm in an attempt to get into the 3d domains. Those are the people that should be put in their place with some less then kind words.
Just my opinion.
Cheers
@Slate
He can;t sell at a profit, that is the point! A $1 profit!
…..and i can’t spell
stu ur a mug you dont have a clue what you are talking about
plus why stab someone who has helped you out in the past man thats bad and so disrespectfull tell you domaining is a very tight knit community and there is no place in it people like that
I haven’t seen the names but normally 3D Domain Names has decent names…
If they are decent names… and at the peak of 3D mania, there is no reason that someone couldn’t double their investment with 3D .INFO names.
But of course that all depends on the domains. As it is often said, Bird poop is still bird poop no mater the extension but bird poop aside, given decent domain names there should be a profit made.
Just my opinion.
Cheers
3dCellphones.info sold for over $100
.. and i have sold a bunch more for around $17-$25 each
.. but they help pay for renewals 🙂
o yeah.. and these dot info’s are pure crap too i guess, right?:
• 3dDating.info
• Travel3d.info
• 3dCellPhone.info
• 3dDigitalCamera.info
• 3dDigitalCameras.info

.. yeah, those are just plain garbage ‘complimentary’ pieces to my collection.
there’s plenty more, but i don’t need to piss MHB off and list more than that to make my point

good luck in domaining your going to need it

Good luck!

Thanks for having me, its time to go now!
@ For All
Dont waste time regging crap, spend a little and gain a lot!
And the curtain closes!
what about all your supposed offers you have had on your great names lol
stu you need to grow up and have some respect for others and damm quickly
leeching and gloating are not nice traits to be known for
Guys, why do people have to get silly over domains and about who’s got the best domains. We are all here for one purpose and thats to chat about 3D technology and how its developing and what domains will give us the best chance of making some nice $$ down the track somewhere.
We are all here for the same reason so not just get along. Big deal if someone sells a .info, good luck to him for at least making a sale. I bought an 3D .info last year and ended up selling it for about $2 because I didn’t see any future potential in the name, I shouldn’t be ridiculed for that, it was my choice and at least i didn’t let it drop.
Lets try and keep it civil here guys, it does reflect on the industry and other people reading this won’t be impressed. It will only damage our 3D domains when people read it and see people bickering.
haha .. wait
.. what about this one.. remember this one just a ways back?
“OH.. i quit… i’m leaving the business… i’ve had it with domaining… somebody make me an offer on all my names…”
hahaha
and yeah..
what about this one too..
“Oh .. i just had a $7,000 offer for 3dSmartphones.com”
..meanwhile, it was sitting on GDA for $999 and no offers at the time
hahaha

Been regged since 2006……..and before you say anything 3D Domains, I know its crap but its worth a gamble!
Stu… correct me if I am wrong but dont you have 3d console and a few other great domains?
At what point did we get away from what is key here and that is good 3d domain names. Most of us have some decent 3d domain names to be proud of… lets go with that help each other along.
I am sure we can all agree that we need to keep people from registering crap names but at the same time, we should take the time to celebrate others who have good 3D names and those who make decent 3D sales.
Since these domain names are based off a technology… they will burn hot and fade away just as fast. That is the name of the game in technology, so lets all put our collective minds together and help each other to to make a few bucks.
That is just the way I see it.
Cheers
@3D Cinema
No worries, please dont take all the things i say too seriously!
And as for the “leeching” comments, we all copy!
@Slate
I know mate, I don’t know what it is with me sometimes, I just get really annoyed when people can’t see it how i see it when it comes to domains! At the end of the day, I want everyone to make money!
I know the feeling of getting annoyed… I generally have a different way of looking then domainers.
Just my personal opinion, lets try to keep emotions out of it and deal with what we have at hand. That is a good base of knowledge, support, and like minded people after the same goals (make $).
We can use each other in different way to help sites excel, make sales, and boost the over all notoriety of the 3D Domain market.
I think this is going to be a limited time market. We are in 2011 and it is in my opinion that by 2015 all the MAJOR 3D sales will be done! By the time 2018 rolls around…. 3D will be well on its way to being replaced by the next major technology and we will be having this discussion about that technology.
By my calculations, we have less then 5 years to before we miss out chance to cash out on our domains.
So maybe we should spend more time helping each other to make that all might dollar.
Just the way I see it
Cheers
Away from .com and electronics, I have
3dAutomobile.net
3dCarParts.net
3dAutoParts.net

Back to electronics:
3dHLaptop.com
3dHPhone.com and .net
and in holo:
HLaptop.com
I’ve seen the words “holographic video” a lot, so I’m betting on:
3dHVPC.com
3dHVPhone.com
3dHVLaptop.com
Good luck to all fellow Domainers.
@David Garcia
In my opinion you have some good names there but you are taking a chance by betting that *H* will be the way they will show for holographic.
I hope it pans out for you!
I personally do not see the trend going that way. I see it starting off as Holograph or holographic…. what ever (holographic-phone as an example). Then as it becomes more main stream, it will be reduced to Holo…. what ever it is (holo-phone).
I just cant see a company coming out and saying:
Now launching the new H phone and everyone knowing that the H stands for Holograph.
I am sorry, but that is just the way I see it. I could be 110% wrong and I will be honestly ecstatic for you. I guess that is the thing about speculating on future trends… you just dont know until it comes that time.
I do wish you all the best and hope it goes your way.
Cheers
Thank you, @ 3d Domain Names and @ dmpartners for feedback on
Handheld3DTV.com !
At least I can create an affiliate site when the technology matures and it becomes widely available.
Also, I have Bendy.tv which I’m developing as news site for flexible display . . . Check out my top post: The Future of 3D is Bendy TV!!! This is my year to develop.
Everybody, develop!
I don’t no if im reading this right, am i at the top of page 1 on google .co.uk and google.com when you type in ” holo domains” ?
If anyone could let me know, that would be great.

oh man theres a little underdog sneaking in the back door at ces and nobodys noticed thats worth a nice little punt for a few names to seal the door on it might come to nothing but i have went for it.
not going to say either my days of reporting stuff on threads is over and this is quite a nice one.
woof woof get sniffing guys
Just Reg,d 3Dtsn.com
Dmpartners can you post if they allow you to trademark 3dmobilenetworks.
Thanks
Holo means empty Graphic means violent content
Don’t see anyone putting them together to brand there business.
Just my O of course,
Larry you will be the first to know I realize what it means to you,
3D Domains
do u have any plans on buying 3dMN from its owner?.. also .. have u even tried??
..if not .. y not?.. do u honestly think 3dMobileNetwork is a better name then 3dMN?
Nice try but do you really think anyone would know what 3DMN means?
Look at sprint they have the NOW Network spelled out in big bold letters
Do you think they should have used NN instead? I don’t buy it
3DMobileNetwork say’s it all 3DMN say’s nothing in the branding world.
ever hear of MTV?
or WB?
or even
3NET?
3D Domains
so.. can u explain why you’re so excited about this Sony 3d Tv Network when they’re calling the network 3Net ?
Case and point they killed 2 domains
3D Domains
I have seen both on different computers 3D Mobis strip and 3DMN
My son got a new laptop for xmas never used and 3DMN was number 1
My friend had 3DMN number 6 with 3D Movis first so its not a cache issue
MTV is a horrible television channel
WB is Warner Bros
3net was a great domain until Sony squatted it,
Ever hear of The Now Network?
no man.. not excited about 3net for any reason..
..look…
honestly… i wish you well with your name, i really do
i think you’re actually doing a great job of building this name up – seriously.. hats off to ya.. you’ve even made me consider similar renditions… i can whole heartedly appreciate your passion and your conviction – it’s awesome and like i said – i hope it pays off for you – when/if it ever happens for you – you will have earned every drop of it… so enjoy that day if/when it comes.
but some of your other arguments in other area’s and other niche’s tend to discredit your worth from a domaining perspective sometimes… and then that leads me to doubting you overall again.
i really do like 3dMobileNetwork – it’s pretty cool name – i like your vision and your thinking.. cool stuff…
..
but
..
for one.. there are tons of alternatives to this name
for two .. it’s kinda long to fetch a ‘million’ – let alone 20
and third… by your own admission in the holographics argument – WHY would any network company NOT WANT TO SHORTEN this name for FULL strength and arketing appeal..
talk about irony
that talk has been ‘are we going to call the future holographics, holograms, holography, holograph, holo, hg, or just H
… you keep saying how long ‘Holographics’ and ‘Holograms’ are, so then some of us like to shorten the term to four letters – just HOLO.. haha .. but then YOU, of all people, think it should be shortened to TWO letters because it’s too long – you recommend the shorter HG
.. but your 15 letter, three word domain – that can EASILY and much more effectively be shortened or revised (see 3dMN) be worth more than anything anybody here has mentioned.
you’re not consistent in your views and your arguments, and that discredits you
but in all truth, i really do wish you well for all the reasons outlined above – so..
.. best of luck to you 🙂
Hi dm it really dosen’t mean anything at all to me really, id probaley sell it to you for 100.00.
What i am intrested in, is if they will trademark the name at all, they may not.
Has anyone else heard that Facebook is going to shut down on March 15th?
Sorry for being off topic… just say the news ticker come across my screen
Cheers
Never mind… I did the research.. come come weekly world news!
Cheers
Another thing dmpartners ,why not use the TM beside your name on your site,
At very least it will show others what your intention is until you see if they will indeed trademark the name.
Larry
Working on that now, Thanks
Just sold 3DBakery.com for $500. Yeh!!! Good news for all of us. I did not even counter at SEDO as I needed the money for renewals. Spent it ALL on renewals of Geo Names and Tech Names. I hope they develop it into a 3D Bakery, where you can shop in a 3D World.

As you said, 3D Bakery is a valuable name now that 3D cakes are in vogue.
koreans are prepping to release holo-smartphone.
3d will have a separate internet highway making the 3d domain names even more valuable than one thinks, just give it time. I say by 2012!! we will start seeing great things happen for all the 3d.coms!! I already see it and like what I see. Hang in there 3d domainer’s do not sell yourselves short!

– TBC
@ mhb
and just to add to it 2 words
fpr and smart
how confusing are they going to make it for consumers lol
tbh give me a smart fpr 3dtv any day
Two good things have come from ces this year
FPR TV
fpr tvs are coming real soon for those who dont know about them fpr stands for Film Patterned Retarder.Believing FPR technology is the next wave of 3D technology, LG is planning on phasing out all of its Active Shutter 3D TVs currently on the market today.LG also hopes the technology will capture 70% of the 3D market and sell approximately 15 to 20 million 3D units.these still require glasses but you do not have the same restrictions with batteries and big chunky glasses and there is also a lightweight thin clip on style which has been reported as being very nice and unobtrusive to wear glasses will retail around $20.You are also able to move around a lot more freely without disturbing the picture.
SMART 3DTV
smart tvs will incorporate smart remotes which to you and me will be your smartphone or your tablet ipad or whatever you will be able to download a film and send it to your tv wirelessly to watch and also download apps for your tv just like you do for smartphones like the iphone adobe is getting involved in this as well making it so millions of app developers can get involved.
interesting times ahead in 3dtv
combine all this and i am in there ordering my 3dtv
if you are going to rush to grab domains i wouldnt bother most are gone still some out there but main ones are gone
smart.tv is owned by page howe some here will probably know him
if you want an investment,page will sell you it for a mere $75k
@ 5d tv
” The 3dh process allows for the use of an ARRAY of projectors and screens to create a visually seamless immersive environment. 3dh has overcome the technical hurdles in accomplishing this task and OWNS THE PATENT on the immersive environment.”
as far as i can see its PassmoreLab thats involved in that
@3D Cinema,
Two things:
#1 – The company that article referred to – “3DH” in Georgia – they went out of business. Their site was at 3dh.net.
#2 – We’re not looking to create a patented 3DH technology at 3DH.TV; but rather, to provide a conduit through which the technology will be delivered to end-users. We’re SEVERAL years off, but hope to profit from the delivery side of the equation eventually – just waiting for someone to perfect the technology; until then, we push forward with Soc.TV.

since the subject of 4k has been brought up what do you think about 4k HDTVs dot com
so you basically want to be a company that hosts the streaming of the channels ?
you should have said that before 🙂

you spilled the beans on that, without any cajoling on my part.

@DM Partners
Thanks mate, I am realistic but fingers crossed! If anything it helps to put 3D Domains on the map and helps us all, it also gives me good exposure for the domain and if any of the big boys go directly to the little site i have on it then they might go through my links and lists of domains I have for sale.

Ok… so there is a lot of talk about 3D printers but has anyone ever given any consideration to 3D scanners?
I mean the 3D printer has to be given the information on what to printer somehow!
Right?
The only way I know to do that is to either plot all the measurements by hand or use a scanner to get them.
Just a thought….
Cheers
@5D.TV
HOLO.CC is available to reg!
LOL…
TBC… You crack me up man.
I like you! You are one of those people who keep me guessing.
Please dont take this in the wrong way… I am not looking to start any kind of feuds or anything like that. I am just going to point out how I see something. This is strictly from my point of view.
Sorry that this is off topic…
I could understand if you where one of those domainers that are only for .COMs and much of nothing else. That makes scense to me, .COM is the king extension and I am sure most people get that.
But if I am not mistaken, you have come down hard on the .CO extension.
I have to admit, it is beyond me. You like the .TV extension (and it is a good extension… it has been marketed well) and now you pick up some .CC domains.
That one I am a little perplexed about.
.TV is a good extension. It has been marketed as an extension pertaining to anything to do with Video, TV, or anything of that media. You have to admit that it is a limited marketing campaign. Not everything has to deal in the Video media. Sure you can add video to any website, but that still does not make it a video media based website.
Still it is the cctld for Tuvalu. A small string of islands that may be on the verge of sinking into the ocean. (I am just pointing out the extension and what its based on)
.CC extension is the cctld for Cocos Islands. I dont know much more about the extension other then that. It has not been marketed as anything (that I know of). At $20 to register… not far off from .CO
Both of these extensions are cctlds and have shown some profit in the past. Before ever getting into domains, I never heard of those 2 islands.
But when it comes to .CO, I recall you not liking that extension. I am just curious why?
I mean it is a cctld like the other 2 but from a much more noted area. As far as I know, people as a whole are more apt to point out where Colombia is located on a map, more so then Cocos Islands or Tuvalu Islands.
.CO has had a different type of marketing. It is marketing to businesses. That includes business models that are ( but NOT limited to), video media related.
I would like to know what it is about .CO that turns you off.
If you where .COM strong I could see the point but since you like cctlds… I am lost.
Cheers.
@Slate,
I only hold three .cc’s: Burbank.cc, 3dPrinting.cc, & 3dPrinters.cc.
I have nothing against the .co extension; actually, I even have a handful of them (primarily defensive reg’s). I, personally, don’t see .co turning into the next .com, while many DO think .co will turn into a .com-like extension that will be embraced by mid-to-large companies worldwide…we’ll see.
I believe .TV is an extension that will prove to give a “domainer” the most bang for his buck. I am not a domainer – I only buy what I indend to develop down the road. I only have two domains that will be turned into sites this year, four or five next year. Anyway, with the strong push into mobile-video-devices, smart-tv’s, direct-to-web-video-media, etc., I see .TV as THE no-brainer, must-have extension for the future. Time will tell.
– TBC
The average-Joe knows what a TV is, a Co means nothing to them.
.TV is arguably the most marketable, most brandable extension behind .com – I, for one, believe the future of .TV is very, very bright.
I don’t normally broadcast this stuff, since I’m not looking to sell anything, but here it goes for the .TV lovers 🙂 —– As some of you know, we turned down multiple offers last year for Cheeseburger DOT TV of over $10K. We turned down an offer for that same domain on Dec 31 for $25K (IT’S NOT FOR SALE). I’ve had one offer for Together DOT TV right at $10K, and again, we turned them down without a counter offer. Large companies are grabbing decent .TV’s hand-over-fist right now – We have all that we need for the forseeable future, but for you domainers – there are a few good ones still out there for reg fee…good luck 🙂
– TBC
I believe Pizza.TV is worth a minimum of $1-million…this seller is leaving alot of cash on the table if he is really willing to sell at $195K.
– TBC
3dglasses.org.uk Jan 10,2011 €750.00 Sedo.com
.co is an unknown commodity time will tell whether its successfull or not knocking it right now is pointless unless you have a crystal ball you dont know how .co is going to go
whether it is the new .com as some say is irrelevent it can still be popular without being the new .com
it has potential and only time will tell and no way can you compare the two extensions thats just madness
sedos .co auction will help shortly after the superbowl advert
Here is something for 3D scanners.
https://www.nextengine.com/ These and 3D printers will have to go
hand in hand. If you watch the video, you will know what I mean.
Probably worth some time to look into. Although I think the whole
3D craze will give way to something else in the next 5-8 years… I
have a sneaking suspicion that 3D printing will be around for a
long time to come and with it… 3D scanning. Just a thought.

Thanks mate, i might need a miracle instead of luck, lol!

@ slate
i have some of the 3d scanning domains tucked away as well as 3d rendering,landscaping and software hopefully leads to something
@5d.tv
mobilesmart.tv
Well if you have 3D scanning, rendering, landscaping, and software… lets hear them.
We need to celebrate all of the good 3D domains.
I would love to hear the domains you have.
Unfortunately I have not picked up any of these domains (yet).
Cheers
@3d Cinema,
Nice pick-up.
– 5D.TV
I just noticed that I have made it to page one Google.co.uk (#9) for the key words
“3d movies coming soon” (#10) for “3-d movies coming soon” and several others.
Hahhhh… I just decided to check out Google.co.uk today after further examining my analytics.
Google.co.in, Google.co.uk, and Google.com are my top 3 referral sites.
I knew that I ranked on the 1st page (#5) on Google.com for keywords 3D Database (of 67 million search results).
I just never bothered to check out the out Googles.
I guess I have to see where I rank for all the major 3d searches. I never bothered to check.
Cheers
so… i guess no love on the 4-K.tv name, huh?

how are we feeling about AMOLED these days?
… more importantly, AMOLED 3d TV’s?
are people still excited about this at this point or has everybody jumped off the big AMOLED wagon?
curious 🙂

3d mapping/printing/modeling/scanning/programming/animation/software names
i Definitely came late to this party… unfortunately, i was unable to grab any of the real big terms in the right extensions… although., i still think if i am willing to hold on to a few of these names for long enough, they will eventually see some value…
estimate 3 years at $7 a pop…
question is.. do you think these names are worth at least $22 (each) in three years time?… i’d say yes – worth it to keep them with that perspective

@ 3d Domain Names, my whole site, Bendy.tv is dedicated to
flexible displays. As recently as November Samsung showcased a
foldable, flexible AMOLED 3D TV for the living room, to view 3D
from any angle! http://bendy.tv/?p=40#more-40 It also showcased a
4.5 inch AMOLED Screen for Smartphones and Tablets:
http://www.touch–screen.com/?p=86 Those links above are both my
sites – I am trying to develop because I want to
show the world I value my domains . . . So what if Touch–Screen
has two hyphens? Don’t tell me what to do! 🙂
Is there a future for 3D domains? Dreamworks studios CEO says yes.

Is this a final sale price, or the top bid at the moment? IS the domain still at auction? Be specific, man!
Excellent domain, and that price is at orgasmic level… for a buyer who knows…
That’s a great name, eh? X3D.com? Category killer-type! I don’t see it at Namejet. That was fast!
cool topic! 1413 comments! 🙂
Managed to get 3dconsole.com on Google.com page 1 and Google.co.uk page 1 when “3d console” is typed in.
No seo aswell.
Happy days.
If the future of 3d looks good for gadgets and handheld devices, I think that bodes well for my 3dGameGadget.com, 3dGameTablet.com, 3dGameTablets.com, eGameTablet.com and related dot nets.
Oh no… Stephen Douglas your Successclick states that the “Account Has Been Suspended”
Hmmm… did you just get hemmed up by the Government? LOL
I hope all is well.

On Bing, we’re getting the #1 listing for the term: 3d chalkboards & 3d marker board; not indexed on google yet. There are several ads on the side of the page for both: 3d chalkboards & 3d marker board.
It’ll be at least 3-5 years before either of these terms get many searches though.

Need advice, are these two worth keeping ?
3DSMARTPHONE.CO
3DSMARTPHONES.CO
Wait to see what happens to .CO in the coming months.
As of right now, Godaddy is set to launch a campaign for .CO during the Superbowl.
Shortly afterward, Sedo will be holding a .CO premium auction.
Wait and see what becomes of .CO from there and then make your decision.
Just my opinion.
Cheers
Sell ’em for a millions bucks each – yeah, that’s the ticket…
@3dconsole
I believe you. I was just saying what I see on my end.
I have your site ranked at #11 (1st one second page) on my Google.com
Do you happen to be logged into a Google account of some sort? Sometimes if you are logged into, Gmail or some other Google services, it alters your view of searches.
Either way, it makes no difference to me. Still #10 or #11, that is still outstanding and you should be very proud of yourself.
Keep it up and dont let it slide back down. Its a pain to get it back to the 1st page if you do.
Cheers
co3D.co is available, so it coPORN.co and coHOTEL.co — I’m thinking taking these 🙂
Too late, Piper. We just grabbed coHOTEL.co. You can have the others. 😉
– TBC
Hey Piper
… i have had that name and these others on a list of mine for quite some time
… i always wanted to grab them, but i don’t think i ever will, so if these can help anyone else out there, by all means.. enjoy:
COLawyer.CO
COAttorney.CO
COTravel.CO
COCar.CO
personally, i think these are very catchy, very brandable names for the right company with some marketing dollars
IDEAL names to target for Geo services – Columbia or Colorado comes to mind 🙂
@3dDomain,
Go to our landing page at 5D.TV, scroll to the bottom, and you’ll see the list that we’ve picked up. We will develop these and frankly, we believe the whimsical, novel nature of these particular domains could lend very well to the social-business sites we intend to develop around these brands.
Here are the domains we’ve passed on, so if you’re interested, go ahead and grab them:
coBEER.co
coWINE.co
coINSURE.co
coTICKET.co (and tickets)
coDATING.co
coPIZZA.co
coSOFTWARE.co
coCREDITCARD.co (and credit cards)
coDIAMONDS.co
Good luck to all of you. 😉

thanks 5D, but i’ll pass

off topic a bit…
has anyone else been following the development of Connected Cars?
Just nailed askme3d.com The worlds first 3D Search Engine
@ MNB, when you wrote, “I sure blew this one,” it isn’t
true, necessarily. Advances and announcements are being made – it’s
an exciting time! Latest Registrations: 3DSPhone.com &
3DSPhones.com – I’m relying Sprint’s big announcement on February
7th in New York, saying it is “Yet another Industry First,” with
David Blaine present, will be a phone with camera captures
side-by-side to shoot 3D video! In fact, is 3D home video taken?
I’m out of $$. I am literally out of dough – I hope one of the
latest registrations will be the one that makes this past year
worthwhile! Thanx for everybody’s inspiration! The future of 3D,
according to more than one journalist is handheld, or mobile: “The
near-term future of 3D is not in the large screen world. Its
mobile. ” – Robin Harris, ZDNet.com, How 3D Will Evolve . . .
we’ll see! 🙂
Oh and also AskMe3d.info too… Tell me what you think ..
@DMP
i think there a lot of names like that look much more brilliant – after development
.. until then….?
@3D Domains
You bet looks great on paper we wait and see.
@ louise
i was gathering up every “mobile3d/3dmobile” name about a year ago that i could find not saying i have the best in this but i have a few that fit nicely not just with phones but anything with 3d and mobile thats released that incorporates 3d and is mobile could fit with them that was my intention back then to give me more scope for selling.
so something not mentioned
3diptv ?
picked up iptv3d dot com on the drop
this was at ces 2011 also
i wasnt going to post anymore names,i dont like what i am seeing in search engines for names i have.

@ 3d Domain Names, if anyone insults you he’s wrong, and you and Frager have more in common I’m sure than you have differences! But Frager is eccentric – worse than Rick Schwarz! – so you have to take what he says with a grain of salt; let it slide off.
Domainers seem like the nicest people, it’s good to have perspective; we’re really all an eccentric bunch! I’m not as eccentric as most people on this forum, if eccentric is synonymous with success! MHB has my respect, renewals am’t to $3/4 million. It must take alot work to meet that expense!
@ 3D Cinema – YOU’RE the one! I saw 3DMobileTV is taken – is it yours? Smart thinking!
Good going on IPTV observation. It’s its own “future” category, right? With or without 3D.
@ dmpartners, I like AskMe3D. Hope you make a nice directory out of it! Also, I like 3DSearchEngine – forget whose that is!
Correction: 3DDatabase, not 3DSearchEngine. 🙂

I prefer Sam Mendes’ opinion on 3D: “It’s called the theatre.”
Oh no… they have created “Smell-o-vision”.
I cant see this one taking off.
Now you will be able to hear, see, and smell in 3D. LOL
I will let you guys look it up, I just dont see it taking off, at least not yet.
Cheers
that would be “4d”
as in “4d Movie Theaters”
or 4d Experience
Coming Next:
Full Sensory Advertising & Marketing
Hmmmm???
I dont know if smell can be considered a dimension. It is a sense.
3D is three dimensions, Height, Width, and Depth.
The forth dimension would be Time but I dont know how that would fit into movie aspect.
But then again, I am probably over thinking it.
Cheers and all the best
I’ve tried to register some good 3D domains, but, after dozens of attempts, I’ve realized that nearly all good 3D names are already taken
currently 3dmovies.in is in auction in sedo 🙂
I prefer the .com
@ chandon yeh i got your email
dont spam my inbox please !
i am the last person that need telling anything thats at auction or anything else 3d related
Handheld3DGaming.com <== nabbed by me! Yay! Another non-hyphen dot com!
3D-Enabled Handheld Game Consoles to Surpass 11 Milion Units in 2014
– http://www.in-stat.com/press.asp?ID=2974&sku=IN1004894ID
It's on! There are plenty of 3DS and handheld 3D game domains available – you go!
That was my last one. It really was! 😉
I’ve had luck in the new tech, games and gaming. We haven’t talked about the latter. I have
3dCasinoCraps.com
Slots3d.net and
poker3dgames.com
I haven’t tried “industry” much, but mano dot coms are taken, so I’ve reggd
3dAutomobile.net
3dAutoParts.net
and an odd one:
3dCarSports.com (there are car sports other than racing).
Good luck.
For those interested in 4d (is that off subject or a natural cousin of 3d?), I have
4dCraps.com
4dSlots.com
Craps4d.com
Gaming4d.com
Slots4d.com
“Poker4d dot com” was already taken but I have
Poker4d.net
I’m counting on the marketers to convince consumers that 4d is exciting and worth enjoying (for a price, as usual).
Wow, a lot of you are really out to lunch with some of these. All the good 3D names have already been snapped up… do yourself a favor and look into the aftermarket. Before you hand register a name and fill this board with clutter, ask yourself a couple of questions: does this domain make sense? Is it a viable product? Am I just adding ‘3D’ to the front of another word?
Don’t get me wrong, I believe that there is great potential in 3D names, as I own many great ones myself, but the same ‘pigeon shit’ laws apply here folks… ‘wishing’ for your name to become a popular term may not make it so.
Just my $0.02
In my opinion, spend – $500 – $1000 and get yourself a good 3D domain, then sell it in 2-3 years time for $xx,xxx .
another bit of advice
do your research before purchase just because the owner is looking for $500 – $1000 dont mean its worth it !
Hi, I mortgaged my future – it’s true – on these two domains:
3DSPhone.com
3DSPhones.com
on Sprint’s announcement on February 7th, of something which hasn’t been done yet as regards phones.
and a handful of others on the handheld devices due to be released:
Handheld3DTV.com
Handheld3D.tv
Handheld3DGaming.com
Handheld3DS.com
The last domain I registered just now, after I said, “That was it,” and it is reverse expression. The valuable one is: 3DSHandheld.com. But I base that on the concensus expressed by tech watchers CNN / Tech and ZDNet, who say:
“The future of 3-D isn’t the TV screen but is on phones and handheld devices.” – CNN
“The near-term future of 3D is not in the large screen world. Its mobile.”
Everybody here taught me really, really well. No hyphen dot nets among the group. 3D television for the living room has a future, but the immediate payoff is going to be 3D mobile games and devices, according – not to me! – to journalists in the field, who reviewed the numbers and attended CES 2011.
So, thanx for your input, George! There are some great 3D domain names, and the others whoever builds them out first and achieves ranking will win – what do you think?

@Louise
Can I ask a question. Why 3D”S” phone?
Is the S supposed to be for stereophonic or are you hoping for Sprint.
I am just wondering because I have seen 3DS used before for stereophonic and I was wondering if that was the direction you where going for.
Cheers and nice names by the way.
@ Louise
You need to think of what the “common understanding” of your adjective terms for 3D are before you buy. It’s not about nabbing something you think “will” be “big” for a company in their prodservs and terms for them, it’s about what you think the populace will be looking for en masse.
Now, I don’t want to chastise you publicly, ;-=) but I am making this comment to help others who are bent on buying up all these 3D / Holo domains before thinking and researching and analyzing them as “viable” investments that will carry over to those who will be visiting these websites. This is why people hire domain consultants, because the cost of learning this from a domain consultant will quickly be surpassed by obsessive domain OOTB purchases on domains without really understanding the “end game”. For the cost of buying 175 domains that are worthless, you could have gained the education, business connections, and guidance EVERY domain investor needs to succeed.
Unless you want to spend the next two years learning this, spending thousands of dollars on buying domains that end up being wrong for your budget and abilities to monetize by resale, parking or buildouts, is not a wise investment move and you’ll be hurting when you suddenly find you own over 500 domains and 80% of them aren’t going to sell, or if they do, it won’t be for a few years or so.
For some people, having to pay $4000 a year to keep their domains is hard. That’s over $330 a month. Of course, you could always offer your domains up for cutrate prices, and still make 500% profit on your investment. But that’s a bittersweet profit when that person then resells the domain a year later for 100 times what they paid you for it.
Just saying!
LOOKS LIKE3 THE TERM “3D SMARTPHONE” IS BEING MADE REDUNDANT
“3d superphone” seems to being more and more the term companies are using trying to reinvent the phone.
new phones with the 3d screen are being hailed as superphones
@ louise
a lot of people are buying up 3ds orientated domains myself i dont own one and dont put any value on them it stands for the stereoscopic part but the average joe never uses that term its just “3d” to them
i could be comepletly wrong however thats just my opinion on 3ds
Dumped
photobucket3d.com and fearnet3d.com
TM’s on both
@Georgo thanks you gave me the idea to register 3DPigeonShit.com
These registrations better sell high, because I owe everybody on this forum a drink! Drinks on me next Las Vegas conference – yay!
@ Slate, Thanx for asking! A friend said, “Watch out. Even model numbers can be trademarked!” in view of the popularity of Nintendo 3DS! She didn’t realizet 3DS is a method of 3D delivery & recording. It is: 3D Stereoscopic. According to Wikipedia, “Three strategies have been used to accomplish this: have the viewer wear eyeglasses to combine separate images from two offset sources, have the viewer wear eyeglasses to filter offset images from a single source separated to each eye, or have the lightsource split the images directionally into the viewer’s eyes (no glasses required).”
“3DS” is already synomous with “glasses-free” on handheld devices. It works very well on a small screen. Check Nintendo 3DS handheld 3D gaming sytem:
People are salivating over Nintendo’s release! GAKT shows exact searches of:
Keyword Global Local CPC
[3ds] 246,000 74,000 $0.58
@ Stephen said, “you’ll be hurting when you suddenly find you own over 500 domains and 80% of them aren’t going to sell, or if they do, it won’t be for a few years or so. ” Already surpassed that threshold! Your words have come back to haunt me again and again and again! Enjoy your blog, comments, and keep applying your example of reading everything. You’re going to be proud of me on this! Journalists are saying, “handheld is the future of 3D.” In-Stat said, “3D-Enabled HANDHELD Game Consoles to Surpass 11 Milion.” The ability to shoot 3DS video on phones and less expensive camcorders will supply consumer-created 3D until the studios catch up. You give me a public chastising anytime! Hope others learn from my mistakes, or get inspired by my success (leaderboard of Fantasy Domaining)! Your advice is a gift – thank you!
@ 3D Cinema, as per @ Stephen Douglas’ directive, I run it through GAKT. Nintendo made the [generic] term, “3DS,” popular! I milked that popularity on the two I just registered:
3DSCamcorder.com
3DSCamcorders.com
Circumstances finally conspired so I could get in at the beginning on a handful of great dot coms, because I am developing a touch screen blog and followed the CES news, plus re-discovered 3D here and on Stephen’s blog -thanx, people! But I hijacked this blog, so I’ll give you a break, and not post for a few days! Laters! 🙂
Well I did a little searching into trademarks for 3DS and there are 1769 Records(s) found for some sort of variation of 3DS.
Nintendo seems to have a trademark for “Nintendo 3DS”
But with 1769 records found (live and dead), I would spend a little time and look though them all.
I just looked at the first 50.
Trademarks are a tricky thing. Remember to read all the fine print because sometimes they are only Service marks and not trademarks or the Mark could be dead and it no longer matters.
I am just saying to keep your eye open.
Cheers and all the best.
Oh by the way, has anyone heard of anything weird happening with their websites?
Can a spider continuously crawl your site over and over?
Because for some inexplicable reason, I have received over 4,000 hits last night on my 3D Database site and over 2,000 hits today.
They went to nearly every page I have (and that is over 60 pages).
Needless to say, that is out of the ordinary for me but I thought I would ask to see if anyone else ever had something like this happen to them.
Article I found…
Intel and Nokia opened their first Laboratory. In the laboratory both companies will focus on the part creation for 3D Mobile technologies. The laboratory is located in Finland at the University of Oulu. The laboratory will appoint around 24 professionals who will participate in research and creation of various parts for 3D mobile technologies.
The main objective of the company is to make research over 3D components and patterns. After research the components will manufactured practically. Till now you have seen 3D effects in some science movies and animated movies. Now the patterns will be implemented for mobile phones. if it will run successfully then it will make your mobile experience more exotic and thrilling.
3D technology can make significant changes in the mobile. It can change the way in which we use mobiles today. The application will surely attract a large database of customers. The concept requires a lot of knowledge and research for implementation. Nokia is an International brand that is famous all around the world. There is no doubt that Nokia phones are well received by everyone.
Intel is also another name for technical world. This collaboration will be quite successful in creation of parts for 3D Mobile technologies. Nokia Technical executive gave the statement that 3D mobile phones are quite impressive and incredible concept in the technical age. The laboratory is preparing a foundation for future mobile experiences. After some time 3D mobiles will also become common similar to normal mobile phones.
3D devices are the next idea in the technical age. The time is not away when everyone will use 3D mobile phones. The two companies are coming together with a single thought. Now 3D age is not so away from us. The Intel Nokia collaboration has also released MeeGo. This is the center part of the foundation and hosted by Linux source. Most of the people are familiar with the concept of 3D applications. Many of us have also seen 3D movies. Just imagine the incredibility of the invention. People enjoy watching 3D movies and painting. Now this feature is going to embed in your mobile phones.
The concept is really very interesting. Everyone is waiting for the day when mobile phones with 3D technologies will be launched in the market. The laboratory has just started the research over the concept. Within few months or years we will get a new idea with our cell phones.

@ 3D Cinema
Did you pick up a 3D Scanning domain name?
I am thinking about picking up one for myself… I just need to think of future trends and look in that direction.
Cheers
yeh i have a few in scanning,printing,rendering,modeling and software seen this side of 3d as being a good choice for domains
3D Printing will take every industry by surprise – can’t wait to see it happen 😉
– TBC
just 20 comments to reach 1500 🙂
“3D Printing will take every industry by surprise – can’t wait to see it happen ;)”
@TBC
I agree with that statement wholeheartedly. That is the one 3D subject that I think will have staying power and will be around long after people move on from 3D movies, 3D TVs and so forth.
In my opinion, I would try a nab a few decent 3D printing domains while they are still out there and hold onto those as your keeps sake. There are still some decent 3D printing domains left if you can attempt to imagine what will be in store for later.
Just an idea and how I see things
Cheers
the 3D printing needs at least 5 years of development to become useful commercially but surely this technology has a bright future
I dont think 5 years… I have a feeling that it will happen sooner then that.
Businesses are already looking into using it to mass produce products off all sorts.
It has already been around for a long time, it is just now hitting the general populace.
If you look, you will see that prices have dropped significantly (first sign that its going to become an available to the public) .
You will also see that they are making smaller and more portable scanners and printers (one may even call them desktop)
And you will see that there are 3D scanning and printing services that are opening up.
All of those are signs that this is a product that will be available to the average joe.
I am just saying that it will really start taking off in the next few years. It may really hit full stride in 5 years but it will surely be very popular before then.
Just the way I see it. I could be completely wrong… who knows
Cheers
snagged some 3d printing services domains as well not long back not the best and they do have a dash in them but all .coms
you can buy a 3d printer now thats very good at 1250 usd and its a really good quality model it produces.
Care to share the domains you got?

I am going to put 2 domains out there and let me know what you guys think
4KHDTVS.COM
DESKTOP3DSCANNER.COM
I just want to see what you guys think about these 2 domain names.
Cheers
Here is a cool video for you check out about 3D scanners and 3D printers.
Hope you like it.

@ Slate, thanx for researching “3ds.” As long as I build around 3D Stereoscopic, it’s okay. Maybe I should build on S3DMobile.com – just registered it! It’s an exciting field! As @ Giles quoted from an article, Intel and N0kia are researching 3D Mobile technologies, and S3D or 3DS is likely part of their research! In fact, Apple applied for a patent on a system for 3D display using Stereoscopic, and Texas Instruments just came out with its OMAP™ 4 Platform “designed to drive Smartphones, Tablets and other multimedia-rich mobile devices” – also using stereoscopic!
@ MHB, thanx for article about 3D cameras – I bookmarked it! My sites can help those companies which want to educate the public including, 3DSTutorial.com to coordinate tutorials on 3DS camcorders and phones . . .
@ 3D Cinema, thank you. 🙂
@ TBC, here is a nice article on 3D printing: Titanium Printer Lets You Make Your Own Overpriced 3D-Printed Parts
Guys, you got me to hand reg:
3DHandheldScanner.com
HandheldLaserScanner.com
because I’m in the handhelds. They’re pretty cool – check the google image search of “handheld 3D scanner”
@ Gaz, any domain you believe in and build on will succeed!
@ Slate, I like your two domains!
Also handregged 3DSDTV.com – has anyone done any research on DTV? Here is a mobile device with a receiver, which is supposed to be out in June “for Apple’s iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch” – pretty cool!
http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/111592
Andrew Rosener put Handheld3DTV.com/Handheld3D.tv combo in his newsletter at $6000.00, but I don’t mind if there are no takers! They point to Bendy.tv, where I added a post about LG’s Mobile 3DTV prototype at CES 2011. It should be streaming 3D DTV-enabled device, when it comes out – check it out! 🙂
Hi. I’m a fan of the whole 3d printing future (plus 3d and holo) and registered:
3dobjectprinting.com
3dlaserprinting.com
3dfoodprinting.com (no ones mentioned that yet!)
phones3d.com
3dhologames.com
hologigs.com
holokids.com
hologams.com
Also, doesn’t anyone think ‘HG’ will be used to abbreviate holographic related product as well as Holo? Just in case I registered:
hgfootball.com
footballhg.com
hggaming.com
hggamer.com
And finally way down the line……
Morphphones.com (nano tech in our pocket)
these are all my printing domains that i can think of as i said not the cream of the crop and some have dashes

Just curious what people think of .US 3D names, are they worth keeping? Had a couple of low offers on the domain forums, but thats it? They are nice keywords though…
3DPlayers.us
3DRecorders.us
3DRecorder.us
3DNotebooks.us
3DHomeCinemas.us
3DHomeCinema.us
3DCellPhone.us
3DGamer.us
3DGamers.us
@Giles
Those are great names!
I think it depends on whether you think .COM will be dethroned or not any time soon.
From my point of view, they have some value but not enough to retire from. LOL
My only concern would be if 3D will be around long enough for people to take up the .US extension.
I have no idea
I personally see 3D as being a bright burning star! It will burn very very brightly enough to make you blind and then just fade away just as quick (I think we have an window of about 5-8 years for our domains) as it came and then we will be off to the next technology.
**There will be a few exceptions to this**
For one, 3D printing/scanning will be around a long time.
There will probably be a few others but I cant think of them off hand.
That is just my opinion… I could be completely wrong
Cheers
@Slate
Thanks for that, I am thinking of putting in the “make an offer” section on the domain forums and see if I can flip them to some domainers…
@Giles
What do you think of 4K?
I own 4KHDTVs.com and others
i do think there is value there if the name is strong enough and it absolutely has to be clean at this level (no hyphens)… they just seem to have to wait longer for potential buyers to exhaust all other top shelf extensions and alternatives (3d in front, 3d in back)
i have a very strong dot us portfolio, i have some great product names (3dmobilephone(s).us, 3dnotebook.us, 3dcam.us, 3dpc.us..etc..)
.BUT…
i primarily focused on geo targeted , career oriented, education and services that made proper use of the .us extension … this just made the most sense to me with the actual extension
… and no.. dot us may never be enough to retire off of, i understand that, but not every name in every extension is going to do that for you.
With that said, here is what i was able to grab
GEO:
3d In Front:
NY
NYC
NewYork
Vegas
3d In Back:

That’s 30 Total Names
3 Year Plan:
$17 each name for three years of ownership
$500 TOTAL to register and renew all thirty names for three years
.. worth it?
I just want to point out something strange….
Apparently I have been posting without being online!
“@Giles
What do you think of 4K?
I own 4KHDTVs.com and others”
Even though that is a harmless question, it was not me (the real Slate) who posted it.
I may have to register for this site. I dont want a fake me, causing any troubles.
Anyways, I only own the one 4K domain and yes it is 4KHDTVs.com.
4K is purely speculative. There are already 4K HDTVs out there on the market already but the cost is way to high and the support structure is not there yet.
However there has been mention of this:
“While passive 3D certainly solves the problems with fragile and expensive glasses, it can play funny tricks with screen resolution as every other horizontal row of pixels has micro-sized circular polarizers that work in opposite directions. That can make the screen appear to have noticeable black lines on it when viewing normal content, a problem that would be solved by moving to *4K* native resolution
But anyways, lets keep it civil and no more trying to impersonate anyone else here. If you have to impersonate someone, at least give them a link to their site..LOL
Thank you
Cheers

take it nobody liked the 3d printing domains i listed lol 🙂
Perhaps my tech-oriented domain names
Console1.com and
Tablet1.net
will be broad enough to include the 3d gen of those two products.
Maybe Console1.com will turn out to be a category killer.
To those saying that 3D will be ‘bright and brief’, it’s not that another tech will replace it, it’s that it will become so ubiquitous that the 3D prefix might become meaningless. I agree with the 3D printer having lasting value, there will be no 4D printers on the horizon or within the laws of physics, and there will always be ‘2d’ printers, so the 3D tag will be there for possibly decades.
I managed to snag a couple of good 3d printer names just a couple of weeks ago. Amazed that they were still available.
I think that 3D will not be around long enough for the 3D prefix to drop off.
I think its just a precursor to what we will see in the future.
It is my opinion that 3D will give way to Hologram type technology.
I do not believe there will ever be a 4D because you really can not fit SPACE or TIME (both would be considered the fourth dimension) with out given technology.
As far as I understand, that technology is many many many years away from being developed if ever.
But that is just the way I see it
Cheers
Slate
Did you know that by 2014 they project 100 billion in 3D-Internet TV sales?
We know you missed the boat and we have heard your 3D fade story already
I can’t agree with your logic as to many big players are in this to stay,
With Net Neutrality on the way look for a dedicated 3D Internet that will never fade away, And HOLO is a arm of 3D and both will work side by side on the new 3D Internet
@DMpartners
Thank you for your comment.
I do not think I have missed the boat by any stretch.
I own several 3D domains and one of which I have even launched as a site in the recent months and mind you its doing rather well. Feel free to check it out.
Mind you, its not finished but it is over 60 pages deep and growing.
Plus I am not attempting to secure any more 3D domains nor am I attempting to discourage anyone from obtaining more 3D domains.
However if you did read my *opinions* then I am sure you also read that I think that 3D will PEAK in about 5-8 years, giving domainers 5-8 years to make their fortune.
As far as the PROJECTION of 100 billion by 2014 (3 years out)… well that fits right on in with the PEAK of 5-8 years…
You may also recall that it is my *opinion* that certain elements of 3D will stick around for a long time to come, namely 3D printing!
As far as 3D internet. I guess that depends on what your interpretation of 3D internet is!?!?
I do NOT agree that Holo and 3D are intertwined.
3D brings an image out of a flat screen that can only be viewed within certain perimeter from the point of origin. You go to far out of its limited view range and you loose the effect.
Holograph have a field of view of 360 degrees. Its possible to see the image from all angles.
They are not in the same category and not indicative of each other.
Its in my opinion that they will be separate entities in the global market but first 3D must make its appearance.
All the best…
Cheers
Slate
The bottom line here is 3D will be profitable it’s not even worth saying it will fade or drop off, By that time we will have all cashed in. BTW whats your website that is doing so well?
best of Luck
I wholeheartedly agree that most of us will have made our profits and moved on before seeing the end of 3D. Well, let me put in a caveat to that. Those with decent 3D names will have made their profits and moved on.
My site is 3Ddatabase.com (large medical/science market for the term 3d database)
I created a website for it about 4-5 months old. Averages about 250+/- page views a day. Reached below the 600k Alexa ranking some time this week and continue to see a daily trend in the right direction.
I am looking to break the 500k mark (hopefully) by mid February but as a solo project. It eats lots of time.
Cheers
@ Slate, that video of Jay Leno with his home 3DScanners and 3Dprinters to manufacture his own parts for his antique car collection is amazing – thanx! 🙂
@ Magicpig2, Nice names! Phones3D is coming – you better hang on! They’re already on the market in Japan.
@ 3D Cinema, the prize on your list you could do really well to build out is in my opinion: 3DPrinters dot info! Dot org/dot info tend to rank well.
Personally, I like dot us extension. The lists of dot us mentioned here are very commercial – probably they could do well!
Everyone, you’re right! My domain names look kind of weedy! Investment-grade aftermarket should be my next goal. But I’m happy with recent registrations:
3DLCDPC.com
DualScreen3D.com
3DSPhone.com
FPR (Film-type Patterned Retarder) technology is “the next generation 3D television” which has moved one step closer to real 3D. FPR technology innovatively makes 3D images through polarized film attached on the panel instead of glasses. FPR is mainly owned by LG’S Display Company. This new technology is expected to replace the current shutter glass 3D within a short period of time from all across the globe.
FPR technology enabled 3D TV particularly deserves praise on its no eye-fatigue feature in comparison to shutter glass 3D TV, because FPR 3D TV is has eliminated flicker and crosstalk which is harmful to human eyes. At the same time, FPR 3D TV is accompanied by simple & cheaper glasses which have no battery, therefore no need to be charged all the time.
Holographic is an arm of 3d – it is true 3d. Stereoscopic 3d is simply the illusion of three dimensions, holographic is the real thing.
For those debating whether the next prefix to own is holo-, holographic-, or hologram-…
…3d is a lot shorter and simpler. It might be around longer than you think.
how long did HD take to filter down to most households even now there is still a large majority of households who do not own a HD tv !
take this on board when thinking about 3d longevity.
3dtv sales will pick up over the next two years and we will see many different tv’s being released
saying a timeline or shelflife of 5-8 years or so is mad it will probably be that long before a set standard is agreed
2015 we will still see that not all households will own a 3dtv no matter how successfull it is there is a large part of the population who are slow on taking on new tech and others who will wait untill prices decline
holographics ?
will take a lot lot longer
Well think about this.
VHS really came about in 1969.
DVDs where first introduced to the US Market in 1997. Took several years before they Phased out VHS.
Blu-Rays where first launched in 2006.
Today DVDs (14 years later) are all but being phased out. DVDs are in their least death throws. Also Blu-Rays are starting to reach their peak.
As you see in the news, more and more are going away from DVDs and Blu-Rays and going more towards digital copies (now being sold with Blu-Rays), and streaming videos/movies right to your TV (See Netflix and internet TVs).
If you look at technological trends you will see that the life span from all technologies from the time they are introduced to the time they are phased out continually get shorter and shorter.
So yes, I stick by my statement that 3D will peak and begin its decline in 5-8 years.
Just the way I see it.
Cheers
so what the next stage is holographics ?
5-8 years time we will all be watching holo tvs or whatever you want to call em cant see it myself maybe there will be a few early models but tbh they wont be anywhere close to being mainstream
actually no a lots going to happen in this timescale you are talking about with 3d 5-8 years is not going to happen
dvd’s,cd’s cassettes all have their place remember 3d has been around for a very long time maybe not in the form we see today but its been around a hell of a lot longer than dvd’s,blu-rays put together that you compare it to.
with netflix etc what you are talking about is “smart tv” which will be incorporating 3dtv these two areas are being combined this will also open up households to 3d websites via the tv and 3d apps,games and more they can download directly onto their tv even shoot a 3dmovie straight off your laptop onto your tv.
no 3d wont be dead in 5-8 years
theres no way far too much going on in developmant for that to happen the only way it will is through public disinterest and it never takes off the way companies are percieving it i could list around 30 different links here all pointing over the next ten years in support of 3d with serious cash involved but i wouldnt spam embee’s blog full of links like that best thing to do for you would be to setup a few google alerts if you havent done so already.
maybe you will be right but i disagree from what i have read and researched in the last year plus
Nope…. I have no idea what the next technology will be.
It could be smell-o-vision for all I know, but it is my opinion that in 5-8 years time 3D will have peaked (**in most major areas**) and will be on its way down.
At that time we will probably see the emergence of the next technology.
Then there will be the trade off time when both technologies are on the market, sooner or later 3D will be replaced (again this is my opinion).
Either which way, I strongly feel that 3D domains as a whole have a shelf life.
Even if I am completely wrong and 3D never goes away, there will be a point in time where the precursor of 3D will not be required nor will it be desired on a domain name. It will be understood as 3D.
My whole point to all of this is… DO NOT REGISTER JUNK 3D NAMES or 3D NAMES IN NON POPULAR EXTENSIONS.
Chances are you will never realize any profit from them.
People ask the opinion about a decent domain in a .US extension.
I honestly do not believe that 3D (whether it gets replace or becomes common place) will be around long enough for everyone to go though all the popular names in the popular extensions.
That is my belief. I dont hide it.
But it is just my opinion, so take it for what its worth.
Just the way I see it.
Cheers

So when a company buys a 3d domain after 8 years what are they going to do find another domain without the 3d in it? What you are saying is nobody is ever going to buy a 3d domain name in the first place they will just use a / 3d in front of there existing domain. I don’t see that I see a entirely new style and feel of website that eliminates and phases out the 2D domain. You got it backwards my friend
@3d cinema
Actually, holographics will be in the home as early as this coming spring. That is ‘psuedo holographics’, which might actually make ‘real’ holograms, which will always be thousands of times more expensive (as well as being space consuming), quite pointless. Sony and Apple are both close to perfecting the technology. There are even rumours it will appear on the next iPod.
The public will still likely call it holographic (or 3d), just as they call stereoscopic ‘3d’, even though stereoscopic is just 2d presenting the eyes with the illusion of 3d.
@slate
I agree to a large extent. I’m primarily an affiliate marketer. ‘Glasses free 3d tv’ will have a very short shelf life. But I’m confident that with my domain I can be on the front page of Google for the couple of years that the search term peaks. If so, I’ll make at least a 1,000x profit, even if I don’t sell the name for more than reg fee.
@dmpartners
We are talking about technology domains here. They come and go with the technology.
Cassette Player is not a viable domain today but it would have been a great one in its day.
Portable CD Player domain has pretty much been rear ended by MP3 Player
Pager have lost out to Cell Phone
Cell Phone is giving way to smart phone
And when is the last time you hear of cordless phones
Or phone booths come to think about it.
Its technology, what is popular today will not be popular tomorrow.
That is just the way things work. Dont get angry with me about it.
A business factors in the cost of dealing, marketing, and distributing technology based items. If they dont, they wind up holding a worthless inventory in a few years time.
Think about it. Desktop PC will be a thing of the past in a few years.
Laptops are going to be given competition by this new tablet/slate craze.
Who knows, they could become obsolete soon also.
I understand that you deal with domain names and you probably have some investment in 3D domains. Great, so do I.
I believe in 3D and 3D domains, but I also realize that there will be a point in time that you will have to dump the domains or be left standing with worthless domain names.
Remember these are technology based names. They are not generic domain names. 3D is a specific adjective used to describe what ever follows it.
For the site 3DTV…. the use of the term 3D describes the type and style of the TV.
If I have it backwards, then it will be my loss but it is my opinion that the same thing will happen with 3D that has happened with every other technology out there. Sooner or later it will be phased out and replaced by the newest, biggest, fastest, and greatest big thing.
I own a few 3D domains and I have every plan on selling them as soon as the market heats up. I will grab my money and go onto the next technology or event to stake my claim in that also during its infancy stage.
Cheers and I wish you all the best.
@Glasses Free 3D TV
I am just trying to convey that these domain names we own are technology based names and therefore they will fade away as the next big thing comes out.
I have full plans on making a good chunk of change from my site and my domains when I sell them.
It is in my opinion that we (people who own 3D domains) only have a window of 5-8 years before the market STARTS to go sour on us.
Once businesses see that a new technology is on the way out they will be less likely to pay a premium for domain names that are going to be phased out.
I mean its only common scenes.
**Trade Marks aside** If someone was selling PS2.com domain right after PS3 launched… would you pay FULL asking price?
Do you get what I am saying… Its obvious that PS3 would phase out PS2 in a short amount of time.
If I owned CD.com I would have cashed that in a couple years ago.
CDs are on their way out and soon will go the way of the Cassette, Records, 8tracks.
These are just my opinion but I will continue to tell people not to buy 3D domains in less popular extensions and dont remake 3D domain names by adding 33dd, 34D, or anything like that (especially with less popular extensions).
In my not humble opinion at all, your just wasting money.
Just the way I see it.
Cheers
@ slate
i totally agree there is no point registering junk as they will never sell like all domains you need to think hard about your purchase and do it right (i should take my own advice there lmao).
i can see your point but this is a unique time in domaining this sort of thing does not happen all the time its an uncharted road we are on so who knows what lies ahead
@ 3d glasses free 3dtv
i have seen the advancements on holo but tbh i cant see this happening anytime soon being integrated into out homelife it needs work still and a long way off but sure its coming 🙂
@3dcinema – maybe you’re right. Anyway, I’m more than happy to have names like the following in my collection :
holographicgolf.com
holographicteacher.com
holographicdoctor.com
3dholographicsport.com
3dholographicmovies.com
etc
@Slate
I agree with you on your assessment of 3D domains using .US extensions. If someone wants to get a power position with their 3D domain, doing it with a non-dotcom domain is NOT the way to start.
There are lots of hot prodservs out there, represented by dotcom domains, that still haven’t been sold to the companies that would benefit from them. Pushing out domains with ccTLD’s are a VERY long term investment. I wouldn’t even present them to anyone online, because it just shows that you aren’t educated enough to know that if the dotcom version hasn’t sold to an enduser, your ccTLD isn’t going to purchased very soon unless you deflate your price to something ridiculous… I can’t tell you what that price would be when it gets silly, but you should know based on the buildout, bids, traffic, promotion of the dotcom version of your domain.
My rules, to my clients, regarding ccTLDS… is ….
“Breathing heavy is a favorite pasttime of mine.
The best thing about it is it only costs a dime – have you got a dime?”
– Phone Booth Man by the Tuff Darts
That album came out in ’76. The music itself is contemporary-sounding now, except for putting a dime in a phone. Phonebooths were everyplace; now they’re gone.
@ Stephen, Oooohhh. Your comment dotted out just when it was getting interesting! 😀
I registered also hologramimages.com and hologramimaging.com;
not to mention holographstorage.com and holographprojection.com, but no 3Ds unfortunately.
Maybe I was thinking ahead a few years ago.
3D market ‘extremely profitable’ says report
The market for 3D in film, television and video games is proving to be ‘extremely profitable’, according to a new report by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
PwC’s report branded 2010 the year of 3D, with 8 of the top 20 highest revenue making films at the box office available in 3D, compared to just 3 in 2009 and what’s more it predicts that by 2015, 15 percent of all films will be made in three dimensions, driving demand for 3D TVs and games consoles.
The report noted that there are still problems with interoperability among the different 3D mobile phone standards so a 3D picture captured on one model cannot be displayed on another manufacturer’s model, but “the first auto-stereoscopic mobile phones are already available in Japan and will be introduced in Europe and the US shortly.”
PwC also said the introduction of portable 3D consoles such as Nintendo’s 3DS ‘will boost mobile penetration’.

One in five TVs sold in 2013 will be 3D-capable, says report
Market research firm In-Stat has released its projections for the future of the consumer electronics market over the next few years and unsurprisingly it thinks that 3D TV is the way forward. In fact, the report suggests that, by 2013, one in every five TVs purchased in the US will be 3D-capable.
According to Stephanie Ethier, senior analyst on the report, “High definition did create a wave of activity in the US market, not seen since the introduction of color [and] 3DTV promises to be the next significant innovation wave for living room entertainment.”
Considering the barrage of adverts for 3D TVs, the numerous films being released in 3D and the push to have major sporting events captured in 3D, no one should be too surprised that in a few years, a good number of us will be buying 3D-capable TVs. Equally, though, that level of consumer adoption is pretty impressive, considering that such TVs only came onto the market this year. In-Stat is predicting 231 per cent year-on-year growth, which will certainly be impressive if it comes to bear.
@3D Cinema:
Can you provide us with any links that show Price Waterhouse Cooper (who I worked for on a project 15 years ago) state this? This type of information can blow the value of 3D/Holo domains wide open.
Either post it here, or send it to me directly (successclick [at{{ gmail. com_(or Em-Bee’s address) so that we can utilize it. This would be huge for this category.

“Holo” was being discussed here in 2004
http://www.domainstate.com/general-and-casual-chat-10/holographic-technology-sooner-that-one-might-think-37943.html?highlight=3D+holo
And that article say’s one thing a new 3DMobileNetwork is fast approaching .
3D Mobile, 3D Tablets and 3D Gaming all mobile devices,
Bring it on Baby
It’s interesting how 3d tvs exploded into the public realm very quickly. Only 2 years ago (beginning of 2009) they appeared to be no more imminant than holographic tv’s are today.
Yet in another 2 years one in five new televisions will be 3d capable, and virtually all new mobile devices will have 3d.

Tell you what guys, 3d domains are starting to make noise! Trust me!
nice my 3d directory has jumped to pr2 now 🙂
Alexa Rank: 662,399
you can still get your 3d related sites listed for free
3ddirectory.net
Just snapped up
HOLOCOMPUTERS.COM
Just snapped up:
DualScreenPhones.com to go with DualScreen3D.com
DTVSchedule.com & WhatisDTV.com
someday, all TV will be 3D but faster than today and with an iPhone-like very high resolution “retina display”
@3DConsole.com
Can you tell why 3D names are starting to make some noise, thats just teasing us mate lol
@Giles
3DConsole.com, just had a nice inquiry!
3Dconsole is a good domain and may sell well
@ Sat3D.TV + 3Dsat.TV + Satellite3D.TV + Fast3D.TV + Retina3D.TV
Thanks, I want to pay off my $150,424.07 mortgage with it! With a strong head wind, who knows!!
If I’m not mistaken, was 3Dconsole.com in a past Sedo auction? Cool to see that articles like this are attracting many 3D owners from the woodwork. The .co and 3D craze helped me to secure some good .com domains in three popular niches.
I have no interest in buying any 3d domains. I would rather continue investing in other domains, especially when they are easy to sell. I find that owners like to gloat about what they have, such as asking another opinion, or approval to determine whether their domain is good.

You made a good decision to decline those recent offers. You rejecting those offers inspired me to ask more for my good .com domains. The Berlin domain is a quality domain. Good luck with a future sale. Thanks.
J
sometimes i wonder why i bother putting things in for others
those two reports are big news and not one person can even comment on them apart from them mentioning a 3d network ?
i give up
@Domaining
Yes my domain was in a sedo auction but didnt even sell for low $XXX about a year ago, you have pointed out nothing new, I think we all know that one, but then again Nintendo didnt have a 3D Console coming out then. It was a joke regarding paying off my mortgage, I would be happy to make double what i paid for it, I will never loose sleep over domains!
“I want to pay off my $150,424.07 mortgage with it!”
I believe that after the launch of the Nintendo 3DS your domain may have its momentum
@3Dconsole.com,
Glad to see you’re humble about your past Sedo auction :0 Good luck on getting the price you want. That’s a long time to wait to only make back a 2x flip. There are many good unregistered domains that can make a 30-100+ times net gain.
I don’t wait for trends. I forecast them ahead of time, and then I’ll make a quick sale once I locate a buyer. Even before registering domains, I already know who will be buying them in the next 2-4 months.
Wouldn’t want the domain to be like certain domains that keep ending up in the Sedo auction without meeting the reserve (i.e. changes). I believe your reserve was near mid $x,xxx.
There a one place online where 3d domains are selling at BIN. I’m sure it’s nothing new. It really depends what price you’re looking to get for the domain. You will probably sell the domain.

reg’d 3DTough.com
Have any of you had any 3d names sell on cax.com
1,550 🙂
@Stephen_Douglas, my Mcleans magazine states it is closer to 1 in 10, the 1 in 5 projection seems quite optimistic. But even still, 1 in 10 is big for a fairly new trend.
@Domaining
It wasnt mine when it was in the auction, I did my research and purchased the domain around July 2010 when I heard about the 3DS coming out, not hard really but pleasing to say the least.
I’m just wondering how one is supposed to value a domain name when there’s interest on the table. I own roughly a hundred domains and yet to have a sale, though have had the odd offer but get perplexed at what I’m supposed to ask. 2 days ago I had a price request from Afternic for tabletworld.net , and put a BIN for $2000. I’ve heard nothing back since so have I possibly asked too much? Apologies for not being 3d related but how much for example is 3Dconsole.com worth to the seller?
@ 3D Cinema,
Appreciate those links and those articles. If you go one page back, I actually posted an Instat article, 3D-Enabled Handheld Game Consoles to Surpass 11 Milion Units in 2014 , and noone commented on that, either. So I give up!
I’ve been the one excited: Mobile 3D! Handheld 3D! And I’ve been hand registering them:
Handheld3DTV.com
Handheld3D.tv
Handheld3DGaming.com
S3DMobile.com
and more.
I have gone on and one about DTV – how exciting its potential!
http://www.tvtechnology.com/uploadedimages/TV_Technology/TVT_Newsbytes/tivizen_0104.jpg
I snapped up:
DTVSchedule.com
USBDTV.com
USBDTVReceiver.com
USBDTVTuner.com
MobileTVReceivers.com
You guys aren’t interested, so I’ll just keep registering.
DualScreen3D.com
DualScreenPhones.com
in advance of Sprint’s February 7th announcement, and Mobile World Congress in Spain.
So thanx for saying it again by posting the article:
3D in Mobile Devices: 3D Adoption Will Be Highest in Smartphone, Handheld Gaming, and Tablet PC Markets
Thanx for confirming me. I’m a loser, but maybe I’ll become solvent this year, if I don’t get bumped off first.
Thanx, and I bookmarked the articles. I started a “DTV” category, and a “3D” category, to bookmark info I can draw content from later! Also, thanx for making available, 3DDirectory! Honestly, it’s very nice for you to make that resource available. I will add mine, once it’s up. Plus send some links – found some great 3D sites!
@ Glasses Free 3D, sorry, but 3D Cinema’s and my links show it is shortsighted to dispense with stereoscopic! 🙂
@Magicpig2
Not sure, Im happy to just go with it for now and see what offers come in, I never put a firm price on anything and if an offer comes in that I like then I will sell.
Hi, Sorry if I came across fresh on the last post. If it wasn’t for everyone’s support here, I wouldn’t have registered the “Near Futures” in recent days which I’m sure will prove to serve me well this year, esp. from lively discussion on this post! From rags to riches will be my story in 2011!
@ MHB, congrats for breaking 1500 comments – yay! 🙂
@magicpig2
bottom line a domain is only worth what an end user is prepared to pay,ask yourself why that particular person wants it is he an end user who values this domain for a business or a domainer looking to sell on again etc
figure this little part out your half way there
@3D Cinema
Totally agree with you, when people tell me you should be selling this domain for that price and that for this, I just dont agree. Sorry, but any domain can be worth millions and any domain can be worth nothing, just depends on what the buyer is willing to spend and the seller is willing to sell. Just have fun, I am!
@3DConsole
I really like what you’ve done with your website. I’d like to try something similar with ‘phones3D.com’ but haven’t built one before. Did you use wordpress or something else? I just signed up to wordpress but it still doesn’t cater for absolute beginners like me, and I’m non the wiser, even though I’m eager to set a site up. Can anyone show me the way pretty please.
@ magicpig2
if you have cpanel on your hosting you will probably have a wordpress quick one click install there
i use hostgator and they have it all the hard works done for you all you need to do then is find a suitable template to use add any plugins you want to use and add content really easy to use imo

@3dcinema
Thanks, looks like there’s a long road ahead….
I reg’d superphones3d.com today to go with phones3d.com but I’m assuming phones will stay smart rather than super.
@ 3D Cinema, Thanx for the great resource of 3DDirectory – I will send a link, as soon as I have content posted! To 2nd the theme of the In-Stat article you posted, here is news on Sony’s new 3D camcorder: The Bloggie ™ , one more in a line of small and budget 3D devices coming out!
I believe that the 3D market (then, also, the 3D-related domains) should “explode” THIS YEAR, since, many companies, already sell (or are pretty close to sell) computer 3D monitors at less than $300 and 3D-ready TVs at less tha $500, both devices, to use low cost polarized glasses
we know that a low price always is a BIG BOOST for new products
but also the upcoming Nintendo 3DS release will help very much the 3D market
Look out for this scam

“phones3d.com is an excellent domain”
true, some rumors say that iPhone5 (and/or the next iPod Touch) should have a 3D display
you will find that every single device that has a screen around 7 inches or less will eventually end up with a 3d screen this will also include photo frames

interesting times ahead for samsung
Samsung acquires e-paper technology firm Liquavista
Samsung declined to reveal the acquisition value of the Eindhoven-based firm, a spin-out from Philips Research Labs.
Liquavista offers a new type of electronic display technology called electrowetting used in e-readers, mobile phones and media players and consumes just 10 percent of the battery power of existing display technologies, Samsung said.
@3DTVshop.tv
I agree with Giles. There is no doubt that 3D domains will be in demand (.. rephrase that… ARE in demand), but I very much doubt that we will get to the point to which NON prominent extensions (mobi, asia, us, and so on) will bring in any aftermarket draw.
I really do NOT see any value in those names and personally, the whole “SHOP” part kills it for me.
But that is just the way I see it, I could be completely wrong
Cheers
@Robert,
Your .asia was a risky pickup. Y0u have to look at the market in that specific area. It would have been better to acquire the .me than the .asia.
A generic name like Trade.asia is extremely valuable, which sold at a Go Daddy auction. If a 3D TV Shop opens up in a popular sector, then maybe you have a shot. For the most part, you control the value. A buyer won’t buy if you don’t offer a domain.
I would rather register job, resume, and education domains. Must better chance to sell in the aftermarket. Resume domains will be a gold mine. Good luck.
Panasonic launching 3D IPTV services to bring 3D content through your internet connection (the latest Panasonic 3D tellys have built-in Wi-Fi).
This IPTV offering on 2011 Viera HDTVs will include collection of applications that expand on video streaming and two-way interactive features from gaming to social networking, and fitness programs.
By collaborating globally with third-party app developers, Panasonic VIERA Connect will provide consumers with a greater range of entertainment and information. In addition to popular video applications such as YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Video on DemandT, Viera Connect-enabled TVs will let consumers stay connected with family and friends via Skype video calling, Facebook , Twitter, or broadcast to the world via Ustream; keep in shape and monitor their wellness and fitness with apps from companies including Withings, Body Media, and Icon Health & Fitness; and access to a library of video games.
Online shopping – in 3D?
Another key feature in the launch of 3D IPTV will come in the world of online shopping, said Uehara. He hinted at a future service which will enable 3D TV-owners to walk round, browse and purchase from ‘real’ shops in 3D, from the comfort of their own home.
At the moment there is only one channel in the UK that shows 3D programmes, Sky 3D. However BT are also getting in on the act, with 3D content being made available on their IPTV (Internet Protocol TV), BT Vision. You will be able to download 3D movies, to be shown on your 3D TV. In fact, if you want to watch 3D films made by Universal NBC over the next twelve months, BT Vision is the place to do it.
The number of global IPTV subscribers will grow from 44 million at the end of 2010 to 111.5 million in 2014, a compound annual growth rate of 26%, according to the new IPTV Global Forecast from MRG.
The forecast shows that Europe will be the regional leader, with 42% of the worldwide IPTV subscriber total in 2014, maintaining its lead mostly because of the sheer number of large tier-1 service providers and continued strong IPTV growth in some countries.

Great article my friend. The big players will make sure the 3D Internet moves along at a great pace. What I would like to start seeing are killer 3D websites,
Big companies should soon start getting there products into that Virtual 3D shopping mall, Bras3d.com Boots3d.com Wigs3d.com hats3d.com
tires3d.com and wheels3d.com are all waiting to get space in the mall.
Bring it on

Thanks for the good article mate
I agree with the 3D Shopping bit, I think that will be a huge market, I think there will be 3D shopping sites popping up all over the net in the next few years
I grabbed Shopping3D.com a few years ago just for this purpose, I was hoping it would develop into something, looks like my predictions were ok on this one
when i took this name i didnt know as much as i do now it was a risk just like any other but reading about it now it sounds really cool from what i can see this is going to make quite a mark i could be wrong but everything i want to see happen in 3d is going to happen with iptv
3d shopping is what a lot of us have been waiting on if they are ahead on this who knows ahts going to happen
nice work giles regging that when you did 🙂
quite funny it reminds me of someones comment i came across about 3d shopping he said
“whats the point of that it will just be like someone walking around with a camera”
even now people dont fully understand what it means 🙂

Awesome find
Seems like a positive day for all us 3d domain name investors, huh?
.. great site Giles
As i had mentioned a few times, this is where i focused a lot of my attention – in the ways that 3d can actually be incorporated into the web – that was my thinking from step one, and while enjoy3d.com might not actually stereoscopic 3d, i believe it will be so these names should look a lot better on this day:
• 3dOnlineShopping.com
• 3dBookStores.com
• 3dClothesShopping.com
i also have 3dShoeStores.com, but i was always a little skeptical about this only because shoes, more so than clothes are usually needed to try on in person (unless you know exactly what shoes you are shopping for), so i’m still up in the air on this… but worth a renewal at this point.
– – – –
and Iain… well done buddy.. i really hope these names work out for you… you deserve a few good breaks… nice job!!!
– – – – –
btw…
quick question…
… i have seen posters, such as SD make valid points about the term ‘online’ and how they HAD their day in the sun, and have since taken a bit of a step back if only because the term ‘online’ was synonymous with the internet.
.. well…
… with smart tv’s incorporating internet into the overall viewing equation, does anybody see the term online remaining strong, getting stronger, or still going by the way side?
thanks 🙂

CONGRATS ON GOING OVER THE 1,600 COMMENT THRESHOLD!!!
Absolutely incredible. Can’t wait to see pass the 2000 mark in the next month or so.
Thanks Stephen don’t think I could have done it without you.
Now as far as the bandwidth bill….
No disrespect to any domain investors on this board, but (IMO) I think you’re all banking on 3D to be successful. I see many different variations of domains being registered. I have a list of 3D names that I found that are not as long-tailed as most are registering here. I think it’s risky to register names with anticipation they’ll produce a big sale, or that you’ll be able to make money with traffic.
Your 3D registration are interesting, as well as fun, but personally I look for names that are worth money now. I find it to be rewarding to find good names that people want right away, instead of waiting for a trend that may not pay off unless you have the best domain names.
I have no interest in registering such domains, even though I’m sure 3D domains will be in high demand. I may even put a list of those domains on my blog. I prefer to be creative in searching for job and resume domains. Why wait to make money when you can make it now. I proved that with one of my recent flips.
There is a website that has a list of ‘3d domains for sale.’ I believe that is their actual website name. Good luck to everyone that invested in 3D names. I hope it works out for everyone. I’m glad that 3D and .co are popular. I didn’t have to complete against others to find good .com.
Welsome Jason
I thin you will find people register other names because all the good names were gone ages ago. Any name that represents a product/service that you can sell “now” has either been developed or is for sale at a crazy price. Have a look and you will see every 3D product/service has gone, especially in .com/.net (and most other other extensions too)
Do you mind sharing your names with us?
@Giles,
Yesterday, I compiled a list of 3D names that I think are decent. It took me 60 minutes to find them. They’re not elite, but they are good enough at the cost of registration. Most are .co, but a handful are .net, .biz, and .org.
I don’t have deep pockets like most. I’m waiting on money for a recent sale I made. I can’t really afford to buy .co, or even take a chance on the 3D names because I’m a graduate student and domaining is more a hobby than making an income.
Maybe others on this board will see potential in what I found. Good luck and wish you all success.
http://domainingmojo.wordpress.com/3d-domains-available-for-registration/
@ Embee — awww you could of done it with my grandma pedaling her bike real fast and you on the handlebars!
@Jason – You forget that most people who are investing in future trend domains are people who don’t have $200,000 to pick up those “currently trending” domains everyone wants.
The whole idea of Future Trend domains is that anyone can buy a domain OOTB and flip it in a few years, hopefully, if they did their homework and the domain matures without you growing a grey beard. Wait… my beard is grey. arrggggh
In my belief, the value is in the adjective brand, so if you have a domain that says “3D” and then you back it up with the noun that works “Advertising”, and then search those two words together in a quoted search, you’ll find that EVERY major company is looking into “3Dadvertising”. Lucky for me, I just add the “.com” to “adverstising” and I have a domain worth mid six figures. Maybe not this month, but maybe next month. Billion dollar companies are investing in 3D at all levels… it’s up to the domainer to find the OOTB niche domains that might make them a big profit.
@Stephen,
Companies will pay for domains they want. I believe that high traffic websites, as well as domain investors are going to purchase such domains. Are they going to buy reverse, or displaced 3D domains? It really depends on traffic.
I can easily sell a dozen resume domains. No problem. I don’t have to wait 2 years when I can sell in 2 months. I’m more into the quick flip. I believe if you invest the time searching for domain names that are popular, you will be rewarded.
I tend to come across domains that Frank and Mike own. For the most part, I’m tuning in on the same wavelength. I know they own newsletter domains. I know which resume domains Frank owns. I looked for them.
The 3D craze is good if you find the right names. IMO, long-tailed 3D names are a tough sale. I’m a firm believer that if you put the work in to find a buyer, you deserve to make a sale.
@Giles,
I have that list on my blog. They’re not elite 3D domains, but they may be a good buy at the cost of registration. Good luck.
I scraped up a few dollars to purchase 2 3d domains, even though I said I wouldn’t buy any 3D names. If a 3d console is going to be popular, then what will be tracked? 3D console sales will be tracked. Also, I found what I think is a cool 3D domain. I usually try to think like a business.
Both 3D domains were registered:
3DConsoleSales.com
3DPowerZone.com
@Stephen,
I read an old post, which you mentioned that many domainers are purchasing risky domain names. Furthermore, you suggested they should invest in a domain consultant. You’re right. I agree with you.
I invested into job, resume, and education domains. I managed to sell a few dozen job domains, and made 1 excellent resume sale. I generate consistent ad clicks on the resume domains. I believe I own several GEO job domains spanning 50 miles along the I-80 strip in the Bay Area.
In essence, I believe that it’s wise to think like a business. What will people be searching for online? IMO, they will be searching for online education, resume services, jobs, hotels, travel, electronics, services, tickets, products, and etc…
Good luck to all the 3D buyers. I’m sure the domain registrars are enjoying your purchases. 🙂
Thanks for your opinion Jason…appreciate it

3DTV.ae (UAE)
3DTV.sg (Singapore)
3DMotorRacing.com
@Giles,
I believe that if the products are services are available, and you have the .com, then you have good domains. 3D Channel is popular. 3Dchannel.com is a domain you registered more than a decade ago. Essentially, the domain is one of those domains you can test the market with. The 3D and relevant word .com are good also.
IMO, exact names .com, and the .net in a name that is taken across the extensions are going to be good. I’m not sure how good the 3D market is in Singapore and India. However, you will find out soon enough. Mostly all your .com have aged 10 years+.
Your names are much better than the new names that were recently registered. Nonetheless, you picked up on the market a long time ago. You have the domains on sale at the right place. All you need is for Sedo to hold a 3D auction. You may score big. Good luck.
@Jason
Hi Jason, you’re a good sport. Smart, you’re going to make it in this biz.
However, the statement that you’re “sure the domain registrars are enjoying your purchases” is misguided. Even if we all bought 50,000 3D domains, all the registrars involved would be splitting only about $50,000 a year… and if you divide that between the top five registrars, you’re talking maybe $10,000 a year in profits. (registrars make $1.00 at the most per domain, and most make less, for each domain you purchase or renew or transfer in).
However, not to make the registrars “suffering angels,” I can tell you where the registrars REALLY make their profits:
When you fail to RENEW that 3D domain (or other domains), and they sell it for $XX; $XXX; $X,XXX; $XX,XXX; and $XXX, XXX.
MY ADVICE IN THE SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS:
If a registrar sells a domain for $X,XXX,XXX that some poor customer of theirs didn’t renew… you’d think the registrar would give that poor sap 10% of the sale. THAT would be something to see. In fact, if all registrars gave previous owners of a domain name 10% of the sale price the registrar sold the domain for, I’d cry for glory, honor, ethics, and just plain “wow, Secret Millionaire” and all those tear-jerker TV shows that show companies doing things to help their employees. In other words, I’d be AMAZED at the first registrar that incorporated THIS policy into their obtaining, reselling, and profiting from domains of their customers.
I think that any registrar that sells a domain previously owned by a customer who failed to renew it in time, a 10% commission on the sale, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT A MAJOR TV SHOW, LIKE “60 Minutes” would do a story on. Why? Because, that would deny the label of greed that is so often applied to companies that own multiple domain services, such as registrars, parking services, domain auction sites, and more. There are at least five major companies all of us domain investors deal with, who don’t “reward” their clients with a part of the cash they make from your mistakes. They just take your domains, and they make big $$$ from it, and too bad for you.
Imagine if one company REVERSED THAT trend, and gave back to the original domain holder, (their CUSTOMER who gave them this profit bonanza,) a minimum of 10% of the sale of the domain? Wow, that would be a blast of advertising madness to prove to all domain buyers — “We will at least pay you a commission of 10% on a domain you lost, but we sold. It doesn’t feel right to us to make money on your domain without giving you, the customer who provided the domain, a piece of the action”. I have to say, that would be really weird to see at registra
This sounds laughable, doesn’t it? But on the other hand, it sounds fair, reasonable, and exciting, too.
Isn’t it weird to see 1960’s Hippie thinking in 2011?
Domainers usually think I’m crazy… like a fox.
One last tip before I get some sleep. With all the buzz for 3D, you want want to look into repairs. Because many consumers will be purchasing 3d products, they may need to repair them. 3D repair or 3D repairs may be popular. The .com domains are gone, but the remaining extensions are available, except for the repair .biz .
@Giles,
I think you already know that you have a good 3d portfolio. Good strategy to promote your 3d domains.
“Who Owns Best Domains?”
well, surely. I own some of the best 3D domains (above)
@Stephen,
Thanks. The registrar statement was more so a joke. I know the money comes from the auctions. The domains that are being purchased now are a glitch compared to what the registrars make when a owner doesn’t pay their renewals fees.
I watched Go Daddy’s auction for a year. Would have liked ResumeServices.com. It’s far more than I could afford. Watched HDMIcables.com sell in the auction. If I’m not mistaken, IPO.com sold at Go Daddy as well. I believe the domain resold at Sedo for 13 times more – $500K. Don’t quote me on that. Thanks.
@Jason,
Your thinking is absolutely correct for mainstream old domain investment thinking. That’s NOT a putdown. It works for all the powerful domain investors and established domain companies who have millions of dollars to purchase any domain they want. It’s also a great strategy for large corporate end users with deep pockets. This is a no-brainer.
But what if you aren’t someone with $100,000 to buy “dirt.com’? What if you can’t buy “Chickenwings.com” for what it’s really worth? Gary Chernoff scored with the latter domain name, and it doesn’t matter that Tyson or Foster haven’t figured out they’re losing MILLIONS of $$$$ each year by not buying this domain for whatever Gary is asking, and utilizing the domain to promote their frozen chicken wings.
I won’t ever deny that the biggies of yesteryear, worshipped by most smart domainers (EmBee, please don’t break your arm patting yourself on your back!) haven’t secured a successful financial future for their grandchildren. But they DO own those domains that would take ten investment partners to present a reasonable offer for the domain.
As a domain investor, if you don’t have the “current trend” domains that either sing big profits from just building out a mini-site (like chickenwings.com) or putting it up for sale for $1.5 million (my minimum appraisal on this domain), your only option is to search, analyze, and rate the future trend domains that are available at OOTB pricing. For example, look into buying domains that researchers are pojecting But the term “traffic” today has a much different meaning than it does with the old school domain investment investment points. The amount of people who type in a domain name today has nothing to do with whether a large company buys the domain or not. It has to do with what the marketing/ad agencies buy, and utilize.
If a smart VP of Business Development in a large company ever spent a few hours researching how much money their company loses by agreeing to pay their ad agency millions based on some creative that ends up giving them, now NOTE THESE next three words: A USELESS DOMAIN, and after the ad campaign is over, the company is literally OUT OF THAT CASH INVESTMENT to produce the ad campaign. They have nothing to show for it, other than any movement on the ad agency’s message. One of the most successful campaigns in history was the “Where’s the Beef?” statement by the old lady. Ever hear that “ad agency killshot” phrase anymore? Rarely. What if the. The company has NO assets to justify the amount of money they spent on the campaign.
First of all, most large companies who haven’t yet figured out “brand” generic descriptive domains (to use them for future products/services or “prodservs”), depend on their advertising agencies to provide them with the domains used to promote their ad agency’s “campaign”, which most likely will produce a domain name that is identical to the ad agency’s “sound bite” phrase, such as “creamy butter taste” ad campaign for margarine will manifest itself as a domain for the margarine company “creamybuttertaste.com” and then promoted in all printed and televised ads for the product.
The problem with this is that the ad agency charges their client millions of dollars to put this campaign together. The company gets nothing from this campaign other than what the campaign delivers. After the run of the campaign, usually about 90 days, the company has kissed millions of dollars goodbye. No assets left in that advertising campaign. However, what if that company spent $1 million for a domain name? A domain name that secures their prodservs and can’t be utilized by their competitors? What if that domain name brings in tens of thousands of typein traffic, secures the company’s brand in the generic category, and establishes them as the “leader” in their space, because they happen to OWN the generic term of the prodservs they offer?
Let’s say a company like Century 21 wants to promote their service of providing a “3D Home View”. Instead of the ad agency for Century 21 buying the root category domain “3DHomeView.com” for $40,000 (a cost they don’t want to figure against their profit margin – NOTE, I own this domain), the ad agency puts together a nice commercial saying “See Your New Home Completely”.
So the ad agency registers OOTB the domain “seeyournewhomecompletely.com” and promotes THAT domain to back up their ad campaign that swirls nebulously behind this phrase. The consumer sees this domain from the Century 21 ads, but they don’t connect the domain name to the company. The ad agency wins again. (PLEASE NOTE AGAIN, I’M USING CENTURY 21 AS AN EXAMPLE, AND NOTHING WITHIN THIS POST IMPLIES THAT CENTURY 21 HAS FAILED TO ESTABLISH PROPER ONLINE MARKETING PROCEDURES. THiS COMMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CENTURY 21.
For this example, change all references to “Century 21” to “Century 22”.
The above is a perfect example of domain investments and how to understand the intricacies of domains and their values.

My names were actually bought cheaply on the aftermarket, I haven’t owned any 3D domains for more than 5 years…
Singapore started testing 3D TV in June last year
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1050114/1/.html
http://www.techgoondu.com/2010/06/15/year-long-3d-tv-trial-in-singapore-from-today/
Samsung, Panasonic and Sony have released 3D TV in India as well
The trick with FT domains is to either get in early, if not, buy names from existing owners who dont realize the potential of the names.
@Stephen
WOW, thats quite a post Stephen, its Australia Day (national holiday) here tomorrow so I may have time to read it…
@Stephen,
You definitely know your advertising, which makes 3DAdvertising.com a good fit for your company. I’m sure you have some major gems in the thousands of domains you own.
I called a small resume company that wanted more executive business. I own a handful of domains that are exact services she offers her clients.and. I even tried to give her a bargain, knowing they already spend $8000 per year on advertising. After talking to the owner several times, they decided they couldn’t spend a few hundred a piece on three .com domains, which was a bargain.
The owner noted that it was a big investment to make, and they eventually declined. They don’t mind wasting money on three advertising companies, with one that used an old You Video that only produced less than 90 views in 2 years. The three .com are exact services they provide. Most of their traffic come from referrals. So the advertising seemed more as standard, and not something innovative.
The same scenario on a few service .com that would have scored the companies major business. However, these companies decided to decline. I cold called many companies, but never made a sale in result of the time spent. I found a few sales techniques that worked well for me.
I use the 3 P’s to make sales – Professionalism, Persistence, and Patience. Lastly, I maintain integrity throughout the process to build trust and long-term relationships. Early on, I made a few registration mistakes because I relied too much on appraisals, but I also purchased a few domains in a few niches a that time. Those niches enabled me to make future sales that kept me motivated.
Companies that have high traffic usually know the value of a domain name. They will rethink their marketing plan to go after relevant domains that will reduce their advertising costs and to help brand their company. I think this moment in time is good to contact end-users. IMO, companies may reevaluate the past year to determine how to perform better the current year.
People will say that selling domains is good at any point during the year, but the Winter season is a tough time to make a sale. January-March seem to be the good months. In any case, that’s my experience.
Companies would rather wait until a name costs them millions to finally decide to acquire the domain. You can show them charts and graphs, and they will still decline. I appreciate the excellent tips.
This post is revised. My eyes are getting tired. Good luck to the 3d domain investors.

@Jason
I would not register too many .CO names, that market is very speculative at the moment and no-one really knows how it going to develop as its so new…well new to people outside Colombia anyway
I took a chance with one 3D .CO (3DGaming.co) but I would be wary of grabbing too many, it might head the same way as .me, .tv, .mobi, .tel etc etc…try and stick to the main extensions and strong cctld’s. I would even avoid .org and .biz unless its a great keyword…3DMovies, 3DGames, 3DTV, 3DCamera etc
Good luck
@Giles,
You made some quality aftermarket purchases. The domains have aged a decade, but are relevant to the actual products and services available in the market. Even though you acquired the domains with miles, they should do well. In the domain world, having domain miles is definitely a positive advantage to gaining interest.
I used the trick you mentioned to purchase domains in several niches, which worked out well. Maybe I’ll see a few 3D sightings in a future DNJournal sales report. Good luck on making the big sales. Thanks.
@Giles,
I didn’t purchase any of those names on the list. My main focus is geared toward selling right now. I stocked up on education, resume, and job domains this past Summer to the end of the year.
I only purchased 6 .co. I submitted one .co to the Sedo auction. I’m not sure if they will accept the domain. However, there is only one other service domain on the list. IMO, my domain name is more marketable than that service domain. I don’t mind the rejection. I’m confident I can sell the domain in the future. Good luck. Thanks again.
@Giles,
“3DGaming.co” — Nice catch!
names i bought a little while ago even though one does have a dash along with some others i am now very happy with
mobile-3dtv.com
also
3dvideomarketing.com
talking of .co i dont have many around 12 in total i think but i did take some 3d which i am very happy to have considering how hard it is to get good names now without paying out and i dont mind that they are .co even with what people say i may develop each one of these through time

I’m interested to know what people think of the holographic abbreviation ‘HG’. As ‘high definition’ was abbreviated to ‘high def’, then eventually ‘HD’, isn’t it likely ‘holographic’ will be shortened to ‘holo’ and eventually ‘HG’? If we’re all eventually going to be living in a holographic world isn’t the huge amount of HG related domains available a fortune in waiting?…….or not?
I only ask because I reg’d alot of HG related domains ie
HGshopping.com
HGchat.com
HGcall.com
HGdating.com
HGadult.com
HGfootball.com
HGdeals.com
HGgaming.com
sexHG.com
casinoHG.com
gamesHG.com
newsHG.com
playHG.com
phoneHG.com
callHG.com
datingHG.com
shoppingHG.com
musicHG.com
mediaHG.com
mobileHG.com
It might be a few years off but my hunch is HG will become the new 3D. I’m certainly going to be promoting it from now on! HG HG HG…..
@MP
i could very well be wrong, but i really can’t see ‘HG’ becoming the big Holographic term.
i think yourself and DMP are more than likely looking at this idea strictly from a domainers perspective. I can understand the need and desire to shorten the term(s) holograph/holographics/holograms/holography…
.. but in actuality, it doesn’t need any more shortening than ‘HOLO’ in those instances…. HOLO is two syllables … HG is two syllables
.. there would be no need to make this change, not to mention, it’s much, much less identifiable…. HOLO is pretty spot on and a natural alternative.
… when you see “3d” (Three Dimensional) or “HD” (High Definition) or “AR” (Augmented Reality) or “IP” (Internet Protocol) being used as acronyms, more often than not, that’s mostly because those are two words.
… Holography and all the renditions are still just one word in need of shortening.
i don’t believe this is a rule, and there are always going to be exceptions to everything in this world… but for the most part, this is true.
“TV” (Television) may be your best example of one word being shortened, when in fact ‘Television’ is derived and married from two separate terms in the first place – only to be shortened again. … ‘TELE’ ‘ is really just short for ‘Telecommunication’
For another example, take the word Communications
Communications is shortened to COM or COMM … not CC ?
And honestly, at this point… if you pay attention to the social circuits… the term(s) ‘Holo/Holograms/Holographics’ are already embedded into everyone’s minds… i think it’s way too late to attempt such a cleansing of the conscious.
That’s not to say that none of those names have a chance – the future holds many possibilities for many people… let’s just hope you’re one of them.
Best of luck to you.
I think you’re right – HG doesn’t sound right at all. Not when the others are so embedded in public usage already. In fact, even Holo doesn’t sound right ALL the time. As far as TV is concerned, it could either go holo-tv, holographic-tv, or hologram-tv. They all sound o.k. But, for example, I can’t see holo-laptop being preferred to holographic laptop. Holographic/hologram actually trip off the tongue quite nicely. Holo is very brandable as far as an end user website is concerned, but I predict that holographic tv will be googled at least as much as holo tv. Likewise for all generic terms.
Btw, I presume everybody has read about the MIT kinect holographic video demo? Holographic tv within 5 years for certain.
I’m going to start sounding biased now but my issue with ‘holo’ is that it only works well at the front of a word. Hologames yes, Gameholos no, Holomovies or Movieholos? HG seems to lend itself both as a prefix and suffix. Also Holo feels slightly antiquated, its been around for decades and I think HG could be presented in a very modern 21st style, just like HD and 3D. And finally, holo alone does not adequately describe the tech. Is a new holographic movie going to be advertised as being shown in HOLOVISION or or HG? My other reason for buying HG domains is that they’re available in their thousands. Top keyword domains yet to be mined. If it doesn’t take off, oh well. If it does, I’m a multi millionaire…and I’ll be quoting the guy who bought sex.com when he said, “I saw the future”, as we’re all trying to do.
When are those great 3d domain’ sales will start to happen ?
yeah MP.. that’s a very, very weak argument, i’m sorry.
i don’t think you sound biased… i think you sound like someone who has missed out on holographic domain names and you’re seriously reaching for a miracle… but honestly.. if you spend the time in the research, there are still TONS of really good holo/hologram/holographic domains out there that have massive use… you just have to dig a bit, but they’re there – i promise you – don’t give up on the hunt because you couldn’t get games, movies and tv names.
as for your points…
‘ONLY’ works at the front? so.. that’s why ‘Holo’ is no good?.. haha
how badly did that effect HDTV? or HD MOVIES?
.. MobilePhones or PhonesMobile??
and then you talk about ‘Antiquated’ – on a 3D blog post
.. even funnier…
What has 3d done – other then the actual TECH itself – to modernize itself?
not a damn thing… that’s just silly
also.. if a Holographic Movie were to be released in Holo Vision.. it would most likely be nicknamed ‘HV’ as outlined in my previous statement
and i’m not trying to pick on you.. really… but it looks like you just registered those domains within the past month or two…
.. and now… be honest…
… with the amount of chatter on this topic all over the web… the years and years of development… the extensive articles and back and forth and social discussions and constant mention… and youtube video after video dealing specifically with holographic developers… with all the brilliant people in this world chomping at the bit to have a piece of this pie… from investors to developers to domainers.. etc….. (not to mention the ‘other side’ of the domain industry)…
and NOT ONE of those ‘HG’ renditions in a top category has been bought – from anybody – until the past month or two?.. c’mon now… i shouldn’t even have to finish this comment
In all honesty…
… if any one of those names hit it BIG… i think that would make you much more lucky than a prophet.. especially with the substance in your argument…
i’m sorry forall that btw 🙂
GL (good luck) with all your DN (domain names)
🙂
Maybe HG (or HV) is worth a flutter on the big names – ‘tv’, ‘phone’, etc. If you’ve bought more than a dozen then you seriously have money to burn.
“When are those great 3d domain’ sales will start to happen ?”
ermm..there’s been five over $1,000 in the last 5 weeks.
Considering that 3D will be 100 times as big as it is now, in another 2 -5 years time, that’s pretty good.
Woohoo! Actually I bought them all this afternoon. I’d say your reaction tells me I’m on to something promising. I’m not putting down holo, I’m just saying businesses will have to come up with alternatives when Holo doesn’t fit the bill, and I don’t mean using ‘holographic’. I quite like the idea of HGtvs….
haha .. u like the idea of HGTV because you’re very used to it form Home & Garden TV.. it’s already part of your sub-conscious.
here’s a freebie – and a real holographic domain :).
dropping today.. catch ’em if u can:
Holographic-Games.com
&
Hologram-Games.com
Just reg’d
holographicConferencing.com
Bit long but sounded nice.
if in 2011 Apple will release a 3D device the 3D market will explode
Heads-up 3D-lovers:
3DMovie.US is on auction at Bido – high bid is $42. I have no vested interest in this domain; it just seems really cheap at $42.
– TBC
does anybody have a preference:
Holographic-Games.com
or
Hologram-Games.com
?
@Stu
i have the ‘sister’
HologramConferenceing.com
🙂
@ magicpig2, Your names are nice. You could develop a couple of them for the keyword they focus on regardless of the “Hg,” because Google doesn’t seem to put too much weight on domains. Nice domains just give authority to a business, but doesn’t mean they’re more searchable on Google: content is king! Having said that, until now, Hg is the element symbol for mercury on the periodic table, but who knows? In the future, it could refer to “holo.”
You people got me! Just registered my first “holo” domain name! The first one which came to my mind was available in dot com – can you guess which it is? 🙂 Hint: am in to mass-produced items, like stickers.
Holostickers?
Ooh. Talking of holographic displays etc. Looks like sony are investing big time in HG tech 🙂

“You could develop a couple of them for the keyword they focus on regardless of the “Hg,” because Google doesn’t seem to put too much weight on domains”
What absolute rubbish.
Google places more weight upon ‘perfect match’ domains than any other search engine, and even more since Google Caffeine.
A perfect dotcom keyword match pretty much guarentees you a 1st page posistion on Google, no matter how competitive the keyword phrase. I’ve gotten to the 1st page in less than a week on some fairly competitive phrases without having a single backlink.

“What absolute rubbish.”
I beg to differ.
“Google places more weight upon ‘perfect match’ domains than any other search engine, and even more since Google Caffeine.”
Used to be.
Buy resume domains. 2 sales in last week. One private sale, which was a motivation booster, and one other small sale that was disappointing, to say the least, but a good flip if looked at in cost analysis ratio compared to final price.
My only 3D purchase was a few days ago:
3DPowerZone.com
3DConsoleSales.com
Good luck.

so its a 3d fpr smart ip tv winning combo lol
am i mad ?
time will tell
fpr tech by lg
FPR delivers full HD picture quality, as well as creating a vivid, immersive 3D experience. FPR does not produce flicker or crosstalk, both major criticisms of SG technology. Excessive flicker has been the source of complaints over eye fatigue and poor picture quality, as well as serious health concerns such as photosensitive epilepsy. LG Display’s FPR utilizes polarized glasses that emit no electromagnetic waves, allowing consumers to enjoy long hours of comfortable viewing. FPR clip-on shades will also be available for prescription glasses, replacing the need to wear two sets of glasses with SG displays. Finally, whereas SG glasses severely restrict flexible head movement which cause the glasses to go dark, FPR allows users a fuller range of movement such as lying down on a sofa without losing the 3D picture
Samsung Smart TVs are set to take Internet protocol television (IPTV) by storm in 2011. Smart TVs funnel the power of high-speed internet services into the ultimate television experience, without the monthly lease of a set top box. If Samsung can enable their Smart TVs to function as IPTV set top boxes on a global scale, this could be a major selling point for their TVs and connected Blu-ray players.
More developments in the connected-TV space: Orange and LG have signed a three-year deal to offer a content and services portal for LG internet-enabled TVs to be sold in France.The connected TVs will be shipped from March.
exciting times ahead
thought that would have got a response lmao oh well
tv tech has gone mad far too much out there for the consumer to make an educated purchase fpr,lcd,led,amloled,glasses free,smart tv,iptv,connected probably more but thats run off the top of my head i know what each one is but the average consumer does not.
ok hd sales might have slowed down so the need for new tech is needed to regain those sales but damm it man give people a chance dont confuse them or they all will just stand back scratch thier head and say “ok maybe i will wait for now see what happens”
what i said above may not be far from the truth do you know what lies ahead ?
what would you do as an average consumer wishing to buy a new tv right now i know i would walk away
saw this today at a local tv shop the guy was so confused he walked away, to some degree though the salesman was trying too hard.
i meant to add that in on the previous comment 🙂

ConsumerReports.org Unveils First Ratings of 3D TVs; Panasonic 3D Sets Among Best HD Models Ever Tested
YONKERS, N.Y., Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In its first-ever Ratings of 3D TVs, ConsumerReports.org has found that the some of the best performing 3D-capable TVs were among the best overall HD performers. The Panasonic VT20 and VT25 plasma models were among the best HD sets that ConsumerReports.org has ever tested. In addition to excellent HD performance, they displayed the least ghosting with 3D programming, and achieved the highest overall scores in Consumer Reports 3D TV Ratings.
The full report, which features Ratings of twenty 3D-capable TVs and more than 120 LCD and plasma HDTVs, is available online at http://www.ConsumerReports.org.
“TV prices continue to drop even on models with a 3D mode,” said Paul Reynolds, Electronics Editor of Consumer Reports. “Some of the models we tested performed exceptionally well in 2D mode so consumers may consider paying the premium for 3D-capability even if they do not plan on using the feature right now.”
Overall, most 3D sets were excellent or very good for HD. The 3D-capable LCD models displayed realistic, three-dimensional depth but visible ghosting detracted from the 3D effect. The Sony 3D TVs were best among the LCD models, but only when the viewer’s head was perfectly level. In general, plasma sets exhibit less ghosting, which is when double images are visible even when wearing the special 3D glasses needed to see 3D images.
In addition to scores for HD and SD picture quality, viewing angle, and sound quality, the 3D TV Ratings chart includes a score for 3D effect, and identifies how many pairs of glasses that come with each model.
Other things to consider with 3D TV
* 3D glasses are required. Current 3D TVs require active-shutter glasses, which can be both uncomfortable and pricey, generally costing about $130 to $150 a pair. Some 3D TVs come with one or two pairs but others don’t come with any. ConsumerReports.org is beginning to test the first passive 3D TVs, which use lightweight, inexpensive, polarized 3D glasses, similar to those available at movie theaters.
* 3D content is still limited. But more content, both 3D Blu-rays and 3D broadcasts, is on the way. Dozens of new 3D Blu-ray titles are expected in coming months and current 3D channels such as ESPN 3D and DirecTVs n3D will soon be joined by 3Net, a 24/7 3D channel from Discovery, IMAX and Sony. HBO and Vudu also recently added 3D content.
* When to buy. 3D TVs make the most sense for early adopters or those who don’t mind paying more for a new technology, or for those who are already in the market for a TV and who want to future-proof their purchase. Those looking for the absolute best HD performance should also consider a 3D model, even if they don’t plan to use 3D immediately. A 3D TV is also an option for photo and video enthusiasts who expect to purchase a 3D camera or camcorder, and who’d like to look at these images on a larger screen. But those who don’t need a new TV or who aren’t dying for the 3D experience should bide their time, as they’ll likely be rewarded with lower prices, more 3D content, and perhaps less-expensive, more comfortable glasses. Whether buying now or buying later, it’s important for consumers to try-out 3D before buying a TV to make sure they are comfortable with the viewing experience.
The complete feature report, “What’s new in TVs,” is currently available online at http://www.ConsumerReports.org and will be featured in the March 2011 issue of Consumer Reports available wherever magazines are sold on Tuesday, February 8th. It includes buying advice and Ratings of twenty 3D and more than 120 LCD and plasma TVs; an overview of different TV technologies and features such as LED backlights, 1080p resolution and 120HZ/240Hz; a listing of the most- and least-reliable TV brands; four unexpected ways to use a flat-panel TV; and an update on 3D glasses

… there was nothing special (or crooked) in my original post, but SD’s site had the same problem earlier with the same post
i don’t know why
i apologize for the multiple posts.. it really was good news for 3d
I know a lot of people dont like the word smartphone and Im always going on about it, but trust me, if you can get hold of a 3d smartphone domain I would advise to do so (Only my opinion) –

@3D Domain Names
Great catch mate holographic-Games.com
Nice one!
@ Magicpig2, “Holostickers?” Thanx – nice guess! Would you guess one more time; I used the entire word, Hologram, and it’s a mass-produced smallish item you mail, but not “stickers.”
Nice video! One more suggestion about your domains is you could develop them with regard to “hologram.” If the press takes note, they may adopt “HG,” based on your use of it. For example, I am trying to brand Bendy.tv as a news site about flexible display.
Your video I might use on my 3DSPhone blog, because it is a sample of stereoscopic! It isn’t true “HG.” It’s taking off as a means of 3D display.
Rick Schwartz is beefing up traffic to his site by blogging about 3D. Good for him!
@Stu

@Louise
Is it….Hologramstamp(ede)? We are in the midst of a goldrush aren’t we? I’m going to add to my argument re:HG. What happens when the time comes and Companies can’t get thier hands on The HOLO domains. They’re either all being used or they’re too expensive. The world loves an acronym/abbreviation. They can understand them plus people who can’t speak ,write or read English can still make sense of their meaning. TV, CD, HD, 3D, VD, etc. It will only take One globally known business to decide on using HG and then it’ll be up there with HOLO. Doesn’t anyone here honestly think that at no point in the next ten years noone is going to be branding their holographic product HG? It weirdly feels like a no brainer to me….
@Magicpig2
Companies will always be able to get their hands on “holo” domains, everyone has a price, otherwise they will just use their own websites and sell “holo” products on them. I might be wrong mate, anything can happen and everything is worth a go….. so dont give up!
Cheers
Holo sounds better than HG. It’s already established to some extent and it’s self-explanatory. It doesn’t take any longer to pronounce than HG and is only 2 extra letters.
You really are clutching at straws.
But, hey, a headsup – HGStamps.com is still available.
@3Dconsole.
Thanks. In response to your earlier post I regd superphones3d.com about a week ago though it seems the jurys out (or gone home) on what future it has as a valid place on the market. I’ve also got 3dphonestore.com (even though someone a while back claimed to own it?), and until recently I was going to let it drop as I’ve had it over a year, but I’m half thinking it may soon be worth at least something….?

Ditto.
Hi @ magicpig2, Maybe you’re on to something – yay! I was going to say, “HG could be an acronym for hog,” and you went whole hog registering those domains, but with the caveat that I’m the biggest piggie when it comes to hand regs on the planet! I guess your handle, Magicpig2, made it occur to me! But it sounds like “HG” is already in use as acronym for “hologram” – good job! The hologram hand reg is: (drumroll please …………… HologramPostcard dot com. It was the first hologram domain that came to mind, then it was available! It was before I knew what hologram was, and thought, when postcards go 3D, they will get popular. But real hologram is expensive to make. There are some collector’s items around, like this Japanese real hologram postcard, but what I was thinking of is stereoscopic, like the prize in a box of CrackerJack, which changes image when you switch the angle – those can be mass produced! But there won’t be any hologram postcards of sites like the San Francisco Bridge anytime soon . . .
Thankyou for the vote of confidence Louise. I feel like I’m the only person registering HG domains at the moment but happy to share the wealth if anyone can be bothered!
well, i’ll tell ya what Magicpig2
… if they ever do come looking for your HG names, that means all mine, stuart’s, SD’s and and every other HOLO investors names would have been bought for silly, ridiculous money… so hey… i hope it happens!
haha
seriously
just so you know – i even own an HG name
… 4DHG.com
… but that’s the only one
and not for nothing.. but if i have to wait until 2050 for ANY of this, this is a losing proposition… that’s just WAY to long
and how VR (Virtual Reality) or Robotics (among other futures) are not even mentioned ANYwhere in that piece, to me, says all you need to know about that article.
And speaking of Robotics..which, much like HOLOGRAPHY, has been shortened to ROBO when marrying additional terms…. what would you shorten this further to?.. RB?… so i’m guessing a TON of RB names are available out there somewhere too just for this next great big future.
haha
all in fun
haha… or even teleportation.. or as we refer to on my planet “T”
@3d domain names
Why don’t you reg cheapHG.com or HGcars.com and see how it feels?
Or moneyHG.com, onlineHG.com, HGwork.com. There’s too many for me to register….
i’m not sure how many people are aware of this one..
.. but GD – in their backend…. has a pretty cool feature under ‘Exportable Lists’
This will actually show you how many times people checked the who.is for a certain name that you own
if you don’t know how to do this…
(1) – follow this link to GD backend:
https://dcc.godaddy.com/default.aspx?isc=gda226&ci=11218&activeview=domainforwarding#
(2) – Hover over ‘Tools and Click on Exportable Lists
(3) – Far right – click on ‘Add New Export’
(4) – pop up box will appear – make sure to select ‘All My Domains’ and click next
(5) – from the next page, make sure you check ‘Whois Searches – Current Period’ (you can also select ‘Whois Searches – Previous Period’ for a 60 day overview)
(6) – next page – select CSV so you can view in excel and you’re finished.
wait a minute or two and your list will be prepared and ready.

yes, 3DConsoleSales.com may be sold well, after the 3DS release 🙂

I would like to start a campaign for MHB to add 3DCHANNEL.COM to the title of this thread for one of the runners of the best 3D name, everywhere I look on the internet its mentioned. Absolute killer Giles, congrats.
Cheers
the best 3D domain absolutely is 3Dsat.TV because within two years ALL the TV with LCD (and nearly all TV channels) will be 3D-ready and, great part, broadcasted from satellites ALL OVER THE WORLD (that means a 4+ billions audience)
Just reg’d
HOLOGRAMPHOTO.COM
HOLOGRAMPHOTOS.COM
The best 3D domains are 3DMobileNetwork.com and 3DPokerNetwork.com
3dsat.tv is worthless seeing that there are only 2 satellite providers Dish and Direct, They would not want those names,
We’ll get an idea of just how big 3D will become when the Nintendo and the LG smartphone are released. Glasses free 3D is a whole different ball game. If these are huge (and all the signs are they will be) then 3D will explode.
@ Glasses Free 3dtv
I agree, 3d without the glasses will go through the roof in my opinion, its what the world is waiting for.
……….and when we get glasses free 3d tv’s then mainstream is just round the corner, then we all look forward to holotv.
… i think you mean:
iHoloTV
🙂
Also, these coming months will be where 3D really enters the home.
Total number of 3D TVs sold world-wide in 2010 : 6.5 million
Number of 3DS consoles Nintendo expect to sell in FIRST MONTH : 4 million
@3D Domains
I think you mean HoloPorn, haha. Sadly, I only have the .net, but I still think it will come in handy down the road.
@3D Domains
Top domain mate, that’s like owning – i3dtv.com , wouldnt like to put a price on that.
@stu
iHoloTV.com
yeah man, pretty excited about this one… i don’t know how you let this name drop, whoever you are, but THANK YOU 🙂
(did you see the landing page i made? – complete with TM ?
and honestly, i think this will be much bigger than i3dTV or any 3dtv name simply because ‘the television’ will have changed for the first time in like 70 years…. this is an all new presentation to viewing tv, unlike a 3dtv which is really no different an actual ‘presentation’ as it was 70 years ago… by that i mean – in a box.
ANY of these holographic domain names -will all be bigger than 3d just for the same reason…. holography is not a modified version of what already exists, (like the TV – add color to the existing box… years later, add stereo to the existing box… add HD to the existing box…etc..) – this is an all new world of tech to be put in front of us like we have never seen before… i have already set my sites on no less than six figures for this name at the moment… probably going to slap a five year renewal on this one in the coming days.
@DMP

(a) – a Hyphenated dot com .. or
(b) – a CLEAN, non-hyphenated dot net ?
Biggest long term value?
(ie… Holographic-Games.com or HolographicGames.net)
@MHB
.. would love to hear you chime in on this as well
.. you’ve switched this posting to ‘Auto-Pilot’ weeks ago (haha)
The only two 3D domains I own are 3DConsoleSales.com and 3DPowerZone. I’m sure I mentioned the domains in the past. I prefer to sell rather than to buy any domains right now.
3D domains are more long-term investment than quick flips. I’m rooting for 3DConsole.com owner to make a fortune because then I will be able to flip 3DConsoleSales.com right after. Thanks.

@3ddomainnames
I would prefer the .net over the hyphonated .com A lot of people think that they hyphen is actually good for SEO, because search engines can more clearly see each keyword seperately. However, I have nearly 1,000 affiliate sites on Google and I know that the unhyphonated nets rank better than the x-x.coms From personal experience, I think Google Caffeine does penalise hyphens a little now.
Also, as far as endusers are concerned, you just have to compare the number of nets at the top of domain sales lists compared with the lack of hyphonated coms.
Holographic-games.com is still going to be a fantastic name of course.
I have loads of 3d-keyword.com names, not sure what value they will have. I have over 200 holographic names, the only hyphonated one is holographic-porn.com
Actually I have a few holo tv hyphens, but they are more ‘natural’ – for example holographic-tv.org, and 3dholo-tv.com

@iHolo, great observation – I bookmarked them!
Apple is investing in bendy displays – it IS the era of “bendy.” Instead of an iPad which magnifies the glare of sunlight, or shatters into a million pieces if it falls, its display will rival eReaders for restfulness on the eye, it will be flexible and won’t break, and with the use of “Smart Substrates,” which I hand-reg’d, will be able to display stereoscopic 3D for gaming. Ideal for the kiddies for homework and gaming! “Low-temperature polysilicon” saves battery life, and is environmental. Nice direction, Apple! Thanx for links, @ iHolo!
@ iholotv
Nice one!
The key to reg 3D Domains is to keep it simple. Not to say that it is not good to think outside the box . Think visual ! Think practical! Think depth! You need Wow factor!
For instance Like Bras3D.com.. Would it not be cool for all Women who want to shop for a Bra be able to have a anatomically correct Avatar go shopping at any 3D Mall and try on cool Victoria Secret bras-
That will revolutionize shopping !!
I see this at Go3DShopping.com –
or 3DMall.com

That’s Diana my wonderful partner without whom there would be no 3DMobileNetwork.com in our shed,
Just snapped up a couple of domains for $9 each expiring on go-daddy
i3DMOVIE.COM
3DTVRENTAL.COM
just added surgery3d.com it was regged for 9 years and dropped in November,
That’s a 8 out of 10 IMO

I3DMovie.com is a winner.
The other is not bad either
@3DPokerNetwork.com

I can do absolutely anything i want with this name.
(Not really an admirer of ‘THE’ in a domain name, but this actually seems to be one of those exceptions – it fits , it flows, it’s memorable and it makes sense.)
** Take A Look At The Landing Page!!! **
🙂
…also..
… Notice the little HOLO icon i have started using now (top right)
… this is also my favicon as well
… i have now incorporated this little icon/favicon into all my holographic domain/landing pages to all present and future holo names.
i only point this out so if you ever come across one of these…
..well…
… that’s mine 🙂

@ 3D Domains I mean IHOLOTV
AWESOME TheHoloNetwork.com You are finally seeing the light.

live3dwebcameras.com
live3dwebcast.com
Throw your 3d glasses away……….
@ MHB, I can’t imagine you’ve been standing on the sidelines this whole time without registering some 3D or holo names: Come clean! What have you acquired?
@ 3DNetwork, surgery3d – way to go! That’s a fantastic name, with burgeoning opportunity.
@FaceAnswers, to me, TheDaily3D sounds like copyright infringement: The Daily: inside Murdoch’s iPad newspaper. Some big name domainers seem to do okay with trademark infringement, besides the Registrars, such as Godaddy, who are fighting two major lawsuits for infringement (The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, uBid), but I believe trademark infringement domains give domainers a bad name. Stay away!
@ iHolo, Fantastic job on your landing page! Way to go! Now, you only have to put your favicon as your gravatar! Go to Gravatar dot com, and upload it!
@ larryp, Those are nice names! You know, you can ask Stephen Douglas himself to do cursory evalution for $1.00/domain – he won’t APPRAISE it, but he does alot! Why not Paypal him the funds, along with the list? He’s great! He’s the one mentioned as the 3D expert in this blog post to begin with!
When I have domains ready to drop, ten at a time, I scrape together $10.00 for his expert opinion. Not what the premiums are worth, but whether to hang on, build, sell for a few hundred, drop or if it IS premium. What a bargain! See SuccessClick for his contact info.
That said, I don’t think you can afford to allow those to drop, esp., Live3DWebcast.
I also saw on domaingang that Rick Schwartz mentioned 3D domains at Domainfest, not sure if its true or whether it was tongue in cheek
Rick Schwartz kickstarts Domainfest Santa Monica – Day 1
“Folks, I am pleased to be here at Domainfest, to talk about opportunity and how to grab it by the horns”, said Rick.
“This year is a crucial year and you need to wake up and smell the coffee. Check your numbers, they don’t lie. Which domainers investing in 3D domains are going to survive? Will it be you? Will it be me?“
@Louise That means any domain name with ‘thedaily’ in it is copyright infringement. I’m not an expert on such matters but given that there must be at least 1,000 newspapers in the world containing ‘the daily’ in their title, I can’t see that being the case.
@larryp I would have thought those live 3d names were worth more than the cost of renewal. I certainly hope so as I have live3dsport.com and I’m certainly going to be renewing it.
I would like to ask everybody’s opinion as to the future value of tld’s in general, and .com in particular. I have loads of good holo names now. Given recent breakthroughs, I think that in 10 years time most of my names will have tremendous possibilities. Seems to me there is more of a risk of tlds losing their value by the year 202o than some form of holographic entertainment not being mainstream.
What do people think? Will a premium .com name have just as much value in 2020 as it does now? For example, perhaps most people will access the net via applications rather than google (in it’s present form), or via urls. Obviously domain name sales still seem to be going strong despite the recession, so the general consensus must be that tlds will remain valuable.
Giles
Not all the stories on DomainGang by their own admission are exactly true but are a combination of parody.
I can tell you with 100% accuracy that not only did Mr. Schwartz NOT speak at Domainfest but he wasn’t even at the show
@ MHB, Guess that means you didn’t acquire any 3D domains. As long as this blog post has remained alive going on 2000 comments, you didn’t register any OOTB, or purchase an aftermarket 3D – you have lots of self-control! 😉
Louise
My lack of response has nothing to do with what I have or haven’t acquired its due to Domainfest and having no time for much including sleep.
Next week I’m off to another conference so it may not be until the following week until I start to catch up on some of these kind of things
@ MHB, Okay, we’ll look forward to hearing when you get back!
Will you be in New York for Sprint’s annoucement, with David Blaine present? It’s Sprint’s “it’s a first,” annoucement. There has been much speculation and bandying around rumors. In anticipation, I hand reg’d:
3DSPhone.com
3DSPhones.com
DualScreen3D.com
DualScreenPhones.com
in case it involves the above.
If HTC and LG both bring out 3D smartphones by the end of the summer, and if they and the Nintendo 3DS are big hits, surely Apple will have to make the iPhone 5 3D, or else they could have effectively a dead product on the market for nearly a year?
And if all three bring out 3D phones this year, our names our set to rocket within a matter of months…
@MBH
Thanks, thats what I thought. After seeing Ricks discussion on his blog about 3D.co, I wasn’t quite sure….
Just re-tweeked my http://www.3dsmartphone.com website, looks a bit better now.
Went in work yesterday and everyone is on about 3d phones, so I went to buy several newspapers and 3D phones and 3DS console have nearly a full page in most of them, looking good for us 3D Domainers.
@3D Console, your site looks great! At least there is content up. I like how, “domains” is one menu item on your site . . . that’s how I intend to display my names, once I get content up for each one with a WP theme, like Touch–Screen – got the layout about where I want . . . but I’m going to list a range for each domain in Xs, like x,xxx or xxx so the offers at least have the number of digits I would consider, so as to not waste the buyer’s time . . . what do you think? Plus, congrats on your great 3D phone and mobile domain names – look on time for the releases!
@3dconsole.com Did you hand reg 3dsmartphone.com ???
Awesome name!
@3dconsole.com I was reading last week in the paper about 3dsmartphones looks like its going to boom soon!! well done 🙂
Another developed site
http://www.speed3d.co.uk
Just remember everyone, owning the name is does make it a great name unless you can find an end-user for it. I have a few 3D phone names but I realize that LG or Sony are not going to want my name, they will just use LG.com/3DPhones or something like that
The easy part id owning the domain, the harder part is finding a buyer
Unless of course you plan on developing it?
@Louise
Thanks for your kind words, but having a good domain is only half of the battle, finding an end-user that’s willing to pay good money is the other half. I do think though that if the domain is good enough with good search results that the domain will be hunted down.
@holographic-tv.org
I paid $900 for 3dsmartphone.com last August I think!
@HoloKing
Thanks mate (or should i say future millionaire), still can’t get over that you own HOLOTV.COM, HOLOMOVIES.COM and HOLOSEX.COM (U GIT!), thanks also for the great advice, top one!!
@holoking How much do you value holosex.com at?
@Giles and @3Dconsole With the right affiliate programs, a name like 3dsmartphone.com should be earning you at least $1,000 a week this time next year. If you get to the top of Google (not that difficult with such an exact match name) probably $10,000 a week or more.
The only thing with 3dsmartphone.com is that it might have a relatively short shelf-life. In a couple of years perhaps every smartphone will be 3D. Make sure you cash in.
Still, certainly a steal at $900.
@holographic-tv.org
All 3D domains have a short shelf life, the same with any domain? Will we be searching for laptops in 7 years?
@holographic-tv.org
I’m the (Damien Hirst )of holo domain names so if I ever did sell any of my premium domains they would be very high prices. I’m going to develop most
of my holo domains. Thanks for the interest 🙂
@3Dconsole
3dsmartphones was in City AM Paper today
(Smartphones and 3D are two of the biggest drivers in technology at the moment and it seems LG will be the first to combine the two)
I agree with holographic-tv.org 3dsmartphone.com will covert great
with the right affiliate program.
@holoking
You are very lucky to own holosex.com I presume you had to pay a lot for it yourself?
When you start developing your site, let me know if you want to exchange links with my holo/3d network (rmps at inbox dot com). Also if anyone wants to link exchange with my non-adult holo and 3d sites, such as holographic-tv.org

Nice one..
This is a report from the Singularity Hub on the MIT princess leia holographic demonstration. The writer speculates that we might be ‘months’ away from holo tv :

@holographic-tv.org
Thanks for the nice comment,
SEX.COM sold for $13m, So the domain HOLOSEX.COM should be very valuable in the future.
I predict in 5-10 years holographic sex will be mainstream
Sex Sells 🙂
I’m going to contact you soon about link exchange
@HOLOGRAPHIC-TV
.. no way are we months away from HOLO TV
.. also.. different technology there than true holo
… while there is reason to be optimistic about what you just read there, it’s still not even close to being what you’re thinking – it’s not even real 3d… it’s a liquefied version of true holo and a bad one at that…. but it’s still headed in the right direction…. sit tight on this one.. it’s gonna be a while.
and don’t get fooled by the ‘Over’use and ‘Mis’ use of Holographic Headlines… it is quickly becoming very ‘cool’ to even speak about it, so everyone is using these terms VERY loosely these days.
@HoloKing
..i’ll link with ya…
(see DomainNames3d.com)
.. i rank top ten for about 100+ search results – as well as page one for all the major ‘holo/hologram/holographic’ domain(s) names as well
you are sitting on a mint there with those names – you are the Holo King – no arguments here 🙂
i was thrilled to catch ‘Holographic-Sex.com’ and ‘Hologram-Sex.com’ a few months back… hopefully, there’s still some value left over after you KILL it with that name 🙂
best of luck
did i mention that i caught this the other day?:
• HolographySystems.com
pretty happy about that one.
@iholotv
“.. no way are we months away from HOLO TV
.. also.. different technology there than true holo”
You’re missing the point, at least as far as we domainers/marketers are concerned.
I agree 100% that ‘holographic’ is currently the most abused word in the english language.
Who cares?
All that matters is whether the public are using the term to describe the product/service.
Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a ‘3D tv’ in existance at the moment. Stereoscopic tvs are not true 3d tvs, they are stereoscopic 2d tvs that give the human eye the illusion of 3d. That doesn’t have the slightest bearing upon the value of a domain such as 3dtv.com All that matters is that they are referred to by Joe Public as 3d tvs. That’s what gives the domain value.
‘Holographic’ and ‘holo’ is already becoming a marketable term : ex: the honeycombe ‘holographic’ operating system. Of course it isn’t going to be REAL holographics.
@HOLOGRAPHIC-TV.ORG
Along with HOLOKING, I hope “holo” becomes the branding term used, my HOLO.CO.UK should be ok.
How about HoSe.co
That is the short version of Holographic Sex .com
sounds like a winner to me!
Just reg’d
DUALSCREEN.MOBI
iHoloTV.com, Holo.co.uk
These domains make me feel funny inside 🙂 Love them
I also own lots of iHolo Domains

@friendsnetwork
“How about HoSe.co
That is the short version of Holographic Sex .com
sounds like a winner to me!”
You’re being ironic right?
@3dconsole
I think holo and holographic will both be used. For example, to me ‘hololaptop’ doesn’t sound right at all, but ‘holographic laptop’ does. On the other hand, both holosex and holotv are perfect. But I still think people will also search for holographic sex and holographic tv. HOLO is more brandable and has more value for end users, but holographic will probably have as much value for affiliate marketers. I don’t rate hologram nearly as highly.
@holoking
I wouldn’t be surprised if holosex.com ends up being worth more than sex.com People will pay to watch holosex even off of low resolution holographic displays (whereas they probably won’t for films or sport). I expect an adult entertainment company to bring out a stand alone holo porn display within the next 5 years, before holotvs appear (might also prevent copyright theft).
Did you try to get holoporn.com ? I heard that the owner actually let it drop last year!!! (I own holoporn.net and holoporn.org)
@Holographic-tv.org
I also have holographic names, HOLOGRAPHICPC.COM, HOLOGRAPHICGAME.COM and HOLOGRAPHICFORUM.COM being my best 3.
@stu
holographic pc is not one of your best holo names
‘PC’ will be removed from the equation by that time..
that would be like holding out hope for ‘3dBetaMax’
🙂
and besides..
… that can’t be the best you have – you reg holo names all the time
HolographicGame is legit however.
@iholotv.com
My best is HOLO.CO.UK , was just pointing out to holographic-tv.org that i also have holographic domains aswell as holo.
@holographic-tv.org
holoporn.net and holoporn.org great domains 🙂
I have been buying holo-holographic for nearly 10 years
so I’m happy with my portfolio and I need to invest money

@Louise
Well done on having DUALSCREENPHONES.COM
@holographic-tv.org
I agree about your views about holosex and it’s going to be one of first subjects
to go mainstream because it’s going to be in huge demand and once people
start having/watching holosex everyone is going to be talking about it.
I predict if they go ahead and use the Holographic Princess Diana at the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton this is when we will start to see this holographic technology BOOM.
(An estimated television audience of over one billion people are expected to tune in to see the holographic Princess)
http://www.newsbiscuit.com/2011/01/06/royal-wedding-to-feature-3d-holographic-diana/
@holographic-tv.org @iholotv Links added 🙂
@holoking I wasn’t trying to sell you my holoporn names – you don’t need them. I don’t think I will sell them for anything less than huge, which probably nobody would be prepared to pay at the moment. They are my lottery tickets. I’m already on the first page of google and bing for ‘holo porn’.
Just regged holosex.mobi and holoporn.mobi
Not sure how much value .mobis have anymore
@console those are great holographic names. I don’t have anything to compare sadly. I hand regged all my names. I have dozens of very good ‘second tier’ names such as holographicgolf.com, holographicpornmovie.com, liveholographicsex.com etc .
I think I’ve bought enough holo/graphic names – around 200. That’s $3,000 a year renewels including privacy. If holographic displays become a reality in the next few years I will be rich, if they don’t, I’ll be burning a massive hole in my pocket for years if I buy any more names.
I’m still hopeful that most of my names can be monetized within the next 2 or 3 years. Of course it’s unlikely that any true holographic tv’s or phones will be on sale within that time, but as I said, there could well be plenty of ‘psuedo’ holo products we can promote. For example both Apple and Sony are working on eye tracking 3d systems which they are promoting as ‘holographic’. These wil likely be on the market next year, or even by the end of this year.

@Holographic-tv.org
Welcome, Nice to see you on this blog
Personally..I doubt holosex.com will ever be worth more than Sex.com, it just wont happen
You mention the great potential of these names if developed, can I have your opinions on which would be the best name to develop as I am looking at developing/monetizing a couple of my better 3D/Holo names
I am not a developer so that side of things is new to me. Im just looking for some opinions on which would be the most profitable name to develop

@HoloKing
Nice names there, especially HoloTV.com, that will have huge potential in a few years, providing “Holo” becomes the adopted term
@Giles
yes I can certainly see holosex.com being worth more than $13 million. Holographic porn will be a game changer. There is a difference in paying $20 to jerk off to a bunch of 2d photos or video clips that you could probably download for free from a tube site or pirate bay, and having a live high-definition holographic girl in your living room stripping naked, virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Millions of men will literally pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars for that. Secondly, real high-definition holographic broadcasting will likely require extremely expensive high-tech recording equipment for decades. What is presently killing the online adult industry is the ubiquity of homemade free amatuer porn shot on mobile phones.
If high-definition holographic sex was available online today in millions of homes, holosex.com would be worth $millions, there is no question of that. The top sites on Google for ‘holo sex’ would be making millions each year, so the domain name would have to be worth that. sex.com was just a landing page full of ad links and yet the owner was reputed to be making well over $50,000 from it each month almost entirely through type-in traffic.
I am one of the very few 3d (glasses) porn affiliates currently out there and I can tell you that 3d porn is so intense that people are paying to jerk off to it wearing those crappy glasses and with the terrible ghosting and the dim screen that the glasses create. Glasses free 3d porn will be another ballgame, holographic porn will belong in a different multi-billion dollar universe altogether.
The only ifs are (and very big ifs ) :
when will home holographic entertainment be mainstream?
will TLDs still have the same value as they do today?
will governments allow holographic porn (to me, that is the biggest if)?
As far as your names are concerned, I think there are two factors – can you sell a directly related product or service (via an affiliate program) on the site, and secondly, how much search engine traffic can your site generate?
All the following are great names –
3DHomeCinemas.com
3DHomeProjector.com
3D-Computer.com
3D-Laptop(s).com
3D-Mobiles.com
3D-Phones.com
3D-Camcorder(s).com
3D-Console.com
3DMovie.net
3DComputer.net
A difficulty is that all these 3d products are getting a lot of coverage online, including by all the big news sites. So it will take some time and effort to get to the front page of the search engines.
I happy with my free3dporno.com domain I just don’t see Holo becoming big
@Holographic-tv.org
Thanks for the explanation, we will have to agree to disagree on the Holosex domain, its still a fantastic name and the name will do very well, providing “Holo” is the adopted term as I mentioned earlier
Appreciate your comments on the names I listed
Interesting how these 4 names you didn’t list are the names I get the most offers on
3DChannel.com
Touch3D.com

@ Stu said: “@Louise Well done on having DUALSCREENPHONES.COM.”
Thanx! Good on you picking up some nice ones: DualScreenMobiles, etc.
I think the dot mobi extension is going to stage a comeback in a big way! There are too many handheld devices, and the pda-, mobile-, mobi-, smartphone-, portable-domains are gone, and dot mobi sounds cute. It’s going to come back! Look at Microsoft.mobi.
Nice link, @ 3DFriendsNetwork! Did you see? Another video to upload to Bendy.tv! The Benddesk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VNTPwVvLzE
Pretty cool!
Hope to have a website up on DualScreenPhones.com by tomorrow! Called it – yay! 🙂 Don’t you people forget about DTV – it’s going to be big! 😀

I agree about dot mobi extension its going to make a
comeback!! I would not invest too much money in them but
domains like holo.mobi will do very well in the future.

@iHoloTV,
I see you’re branding your site as “iHolo TV”, yet you don’t own iHolo.TV. Everything else being equal, the search engines will give precedence to iHolo.TV over iHoloTV.com if someone is searching for “iHolo TV”. You should grab that domain now before someone else does so.
– TBC
Hey Soc
… yeah, i own iHoloTV.com
i just switched it up for a few days… normally you would see me posting as ‘3dDomainNames’ but i love this name and being as it’s the same 8-10 people posting on here – i figured everybody knew.
no worries.
as for the who is – weird..
.. i recently just updated ALL my contact, admin and technical info on all my domains but iHoloTV is only showing half of my info… maybe it’s still waiting to catch up, who knows (?)
..either way – i have control of the name no matter what that who is page says 🙂
– – – – – –
let me ask you all..
… what do you all feel about the whole “360′ craze goin’ round?
check the who is domain sales and you will find a boatload of ‘Prod/Serv+360’ sales.. mostly from last year…. all pretty much for some good money too
i have 360HOLO.com (which i like to say as ‘three-six-oh-holo’)
… PLUS, it looks like a GREAT vanity number
either way, you have seen 360 degree holographs before, but here’s more news:

(.. and no… i can’t say i have any worries about Xbox 360)
thoughts?

Thanks My Friend,
@iHoloTV,
Go back and CAREFULLY read what I typed before. You DO NOT OWN iHolo.TV and if you’re going to brand “iHolo TV”, you really should pick-up iHolo.TV.

Acer captures 40% of 3D monitor market share
Overall 3D monitor market grew 264% year-over-year, according analyst firm DisplaySearch.
In this scenario, Acer reached the top position in the global market, with a worldwide market share exceeding 40%. This result translates into an incredible four digit growth: 4393%, indicating that Acer 3D monitors hit the target, enabling a growth that outperforms the market by far.
This achievement is due to an exceptional range of 3D monitors designed to bring together the very best combination of features, attractive design and innovative technology. Thanks to its attention to user needs and market trends, Acer is able to offer an array of displays in multiple sizes that deliver vibrant 3D imagery while making viewing more comfortable and convenient.
As monitors offer a more affordable initial 3D experience than a large-screen TV, 3D Monitors are an appealing choice for users. With the increasing availability of 3D content – games, videos, movies – a 3D monitor is likely to became a must have.
The Future of 3D is Bendy TV!

good luck with it in any event.

@Holographic-TV
i’m sorry for not including you and your website on my links page… completely unintentional… i guess i just didn’t realize it… i will probably wait for two more links before adding you (design purposes)
also..
… i think on your website
.. your images and your title say only HOLOGRAPHIC TV
… i understand what you’re going for there – but i think it would be pretty wise to actually include your hyphen in both instances – as well as the DOT ORG extension on your image…. being hyphenated and being a dot org almost forces your hand to do so…. you HAVE to let them know this is a dot org – and you HAVE to let them know of the hyphen otherwise if they ever try and comeback, they will just remember ‘Holographic TV’ – and assume it’s the com.
just thought i’d point that out.. hope it helps.
@Soc
… Ah – i understand now 🙂
… that was actually a pretty good idea – i just took you up on that… iHolo.tv is locked up… i also renewed iHoloTV.com for three more years (2015)!!
good looking.. thnx

@iHoloTV
I have had a $1K (and a couple of lower ones) offer via Sedo for Touch3D.com, they weren’t willing to go higher and the name will be worth more than that once the 3D screens are touch-screen. Even without the touchscreen angle, I believe its a really nice name to form a company brand name around.
@magicpig2
That would me with HGPlayer.com, I took a chnace with the HG angle just in case, the other one is HGPhone.com

Forgive me for sounding stupid but i dont get the touch3d thing, can someone explain.
touch is a great word===touch3d nice wording
Touch 3d is big because of 3d touch screens… on your either your smartphone, computer monitor, tables..etc..
it’s really another term for interactive and a very nice one at that.
i also have 3dTouchGames.com and 3dTouchPanel.com
anybody like these?

@3DConsole, You want a HUGE application for Touch3d? See http://www.youtube.com/v/AlWFtF06RFo
It's "bendy," as well!
@ Giles, HGPlayer, HGPhone – good investment-grade to add to your impressive collection! You and MagicPig2 have that acronym locked up! 🙂
Guys, you like my DualScreenPhones . com? I called it, right? Someone has the singular, so I’m not fooling around, to get to page 1 of Google before he does . . .
Hmmmm………… the more i look into this the more appealing
iptv3d.com
seems even with the few negative comments i regard this name my little wild card
i took a couple of wild stabs at dtv a while back those are proving popular now so guess i must have been on the right track with them
also made all my adult/dating domains into sites looking good
11 in total so far

@Louise
i know you’ve been reading a lot of google news, as have i
… but the party is over for these kinds of sites
Google is beginning to remove sites with duplicate and scraped content with nothing to offer other than the same info all over the web.
I hate to say it – because i have a few of them just like that – but the fact is – it’s already happening.
We may get some early rankings in the short term – but this will change, and G will find us all…unless we all start adding absolute, unique content page one is not going to happen – or at least be sustainable.
i believe there’s a few articles right here on The Domains that outline this whole situation.
@MHB
… you didn’t trust that name to drop?… could have saved yourself $50 if you waited a bit longer… (probably)
.. and if anyone is interested, HolographicRecorders.com dropped yesterday too and i believe is still out there for reg.
MHB.. maybe grab the pair?
Best of luck
… with your new names and your new venture (RightOfThe Dot) 🙂

Looks like HolographicRecorders.com has been registered since 2005 not dropping

Thanks I grabbed it.
Will write a story on the rightofthedot on my way home from the .nxt show and get it posted up by monday
Just snapped up 2 domains for $7 each –
LAPTOPS3D.COM
MOBILEPHONES3D.COM
@ HoloKing, nice article in the Hollywood Reporter! Here is a video ad for Samsung demo-ing the “Star Wars” principle of the projected hologram: http://bendy.tv/home/the-future-of-3d-is-coming-and-it-is-bendy-tv/#more-40
@ iHolo, Appreciate your feedback! Someone told me the list of articles makes Bendy.tv look like a “get rich scheme,” so I have to figure something out, if DualScreenPhones appears that way to you! It’s original content, it isn’t “scraped,” it’s not “duplicate,” and it won’t be penalized by Google, though. But it may look that way, so I’ll have to sleep on it to figure it out, so it doesn’t “appear” that way! Also, 3DCinema, thanx for echoing that – guess you viewed it the same.
The content is original, carefully curated history of dual screen phones, with original titles and comments, even if the comment is only a line or two, plus I reference every excerpt, as do regular news services, such as the Wall Street Journal. Google doesn’t penalize news feeds, but it will penalize duplicate and “scraped” content, scraped being copied and pasted from Wikipedia and other sites!
Nobody beats by SEO. We’ll see when it ranks. If it disappears, it was penalized. If it is correct, it stays. No matter the “look.”
That is also why my Epik stores will rank and not get penalized, because the titles, tabs, and landing page blurbs are mine, original. That’s why I put a copyright notice on each one, so noone scrapes MY content which will rank well!
I like a “blog” website!
@stu
.. wow… you SUK!!
haha
was that GDA?.. or a drop?
nice job either way… you shouldn’t need any, but good luck with those
i have Laptops3d.co.uk so keep us all informed on this one
🙂
and that commercial was…haha…um… ‘how do you say’…eh..
… horrible!!!
haha – pretty funny
– – —
@Louise
… as long as the content is original, you should be fine – it just looks like a typical, scraped kinda site… google doesn’t exactly care what your site looks like – it’s the content they care about, so you should be fine and not vanish over time.
.. my apologies for the assumption.
best of luck to you

did i mention to you all that i sold 3dReadingGlasses.com for $60
… not a big sale by any means, but just pointing out the obscurity, the long tail, the activity and the endless possibilities that exist here with 3ddn
– – – – –
so there were two posts recently that i never heard anything back from you all about:
360Holo / 360Projection
and also the marketing of “IA”
anybody have anything for me?
thanks
wow.. pretty cool
… i just got a $2.73 click from adsense on 4dProjection.com.
give me one of those every four months and we split even.
… can’t argue with that 🙂
Just won on eBay 3dwebdesigning.com ($7.50) and 3dtouchpad.com ($10). I thought they were worth a shot…..?
@iHoloTV, congratulations on your Adsense click!
@magicpig2, 3DWebDesigning? 3DTouchPad? You go! 🙂
It’s dicey with the trademark of “touchpad.” Check: http://tess2.uspto.gov.
@iholotv
Thanks mate, both domains expired via go-daddy, so just put in the usual $7 bid on both and no-one else did. I love go-daddy, think you can pick up some really good domains there. over the last week or so ive picked up –
3DTVRENTAL.COM
i3DMOVIE.COM
MOBILEPHONES3D.COM
LAPTOPS3D.COM
All for $7 each!!
More great domain names, @ 3DConsole!!
Okay, I noticed from the feedback here – you’re right! – the announcement brief sticky at the top had no commentry, just a quote from the announcement, so now it has my comments on it. I took away most of the operational on the side, organized the categories under, In a Nutshell, enabled thumbnails on the category and search listings, posted terms and privacy policy under About, which I updated from WP default.
If you click “Laptop,” you see the organization that went into this. Or, “Phone,” you see there was one commercial release of a dual screen phone back in 2007, and two prototypes since. It’s an overview of where the technology is at, and how far it’s come! That will be my mission on my current projects: Bendy.tv, Touch–Screen, and 3D, under the umbrella of MobileTechTv.
Thanx for the feedback! It inspired me, and I hope you agree the site is much richer for it!

GREAT FIND man!!!… very exciting!!

2012 may be juuuussst a bit of a reach (haha)
i can’t possibly see this happening by then. There’s obviously A LOT of work to do on this tech – once the ‘Oooh’ and “aaahhh’ factor ends – you’re stuck looking at some crappy old pictures…. for this to really be, i still think this will need to be mapped in full color – does it lose the parallax? … (meaning, will we no longer be able to ‘see through it’?) …
just an amazing technology… i can’t help but think how unbelievably brilliant these people are to be able to put this all together. I understand it’s been decades of research behind it all, but the pace now, with today’s tools and minds is astonishing.
Keep this type of thing coming 🙂

Check these Hand-Regges:
• HoloGRFX.com
• iHoloTelevision.com
• iHolographicTV.com
those last two were mostly protective so that brand may now be in good hands
.. and i had been wanting to grab that first one for about a year now so that one feels good pretty good to finally have.
I know search volume and content at the moment favors the singular ‘Holographic’ over the plural ‘Holographics’, but i think this will change going forward… i could be wrong, but that’s how i see it unfolding 🙂
feedback is always welcome
@ iholotv
holographics but not holo you reckon?
no, not exactly.
i think ‘holographic’ works nicely in some instances and ‘holo’ works well – or better – in others… i’d like to think i have a decent balance in ‘holo’ names and ‘holographic’ names
but when speaking of the unabbreviated, ‘Holographic’..
.. this term is used in frequency more than ‘HolographicS’ (plural)
i think in some cases – the S will be more commonly associated with the targeted term more so than the singular.
for example.. i have MobileHolographic.com… i like this name a lot.. but…
… i think MobileHolographicS will be used more frequently once there is holographic content to speak of… this the added value in the plural
know what i mean?

2011 will be the gold year of domains on everything related to iPad and PC tablets

2013 will be the gold year of domains on everything related to hybrid and electric cars
@iHoloTV , you were kind to give me feedback. With “IA,” I haven’t seen it much as an anacronym, so it may be ubiquitous. It’s big! “Touch” could be synonym for IA. “Touch” may be the big term. Touch implies IA. Did someone on this or the other blog register, 3DTouchpad? Pretty nifty, considering HP just came out with its 3D Touchpad, the HP Touchpad, which, incidentally, is trademarked. Oh, that was magicpig2. Maybe you should focus on developing, 3DTouchpad.
@Leigh, 3dcadprinters is good!
@3DCinema, IP3DTV dot com is great!
Just hand reg’d: 3DHomeScreen.com. Homescreen refers to the “home screen” of mobile devices which you can browse with a flick. That is, there is more than one. Some companies are getting into the business of developing nifty stereoscopic 3D user interfaces for these homescreens, that is why I registered 3DHomeScreen.com.
@iholotv
what kind of search engine traffic are you getting for 4dprojection.com ?
@buy
… not a lot… about 10 uniques a day.. some days a little more… some days a little less…
… it’s certainly nothing special… a very simple one pager. I wrote a couple of paragraphs for unique content, stayed away from any affiliates, i used one adsense banner and placed some youtube video’s on the page.
rankings:
4d Projection – 12
4d Advertising – 19
4d Display – 75
3d Building Projection – 55
there’s also not a ton of search volume behind it just yet, but when a new video pops up – i get a few more hits
i’m just happy with the cpc…
… i bought this name shortly after i sold 3d(.)building(.)projection, which, at the time of sale, was top 3 on google for a few other popular terms for this niche.
@iHoloTV
I also love that bbc article and video.
It’s not going to be ready for 2012 I predict next year we will see small clips and the quality will look amazing. This will give people the (love at first sight effect)
I have been talking to an inventor of this technology and they think the full color version of this on sale to consumers — I would guess 2014-2015. With respect to a solid version of this, longer than that.

Thanks
Am I the only one buzzing with excitement at the MWC starting tomorrow? I can’t imagine what the owner of 3dsmartphone.com must be feeling!
would have been more buzzed about BVE 2011 NEXT WEEK
have my ticket all ready and cant get to london for it 🙁
With BVE 2011 opening it’s doors next week, we are delighted to be bringing you some of the hottest 3D content in the 3D Revolution Theatre. Built especially for BVE, it will showcase the latest in 3D equipment and give you the opportunity to hear from the hottest names around, all working in the exciting world of 3D.
We are especially pleased to welcome Steve Schklair, CEO of 3ality Digital in the US, who will be offering his vision for the future of 3D and some insight into the projects he has worked on so far. Also joining him is the UK’s 3D pioneer, Phil Streather, CEO of Principal Large Format, who will exclusively showcase clips from Meerkats 3D and Carmen in 3D.
Other speakers taking the floor include well-known names from Sky, Atlantic Productions, Telegenic, Framestore, Nineteen Fifteen, Vision3 Compendium & Virgin Media – this really is one seminar programme you will not want to miss out on!
With 3D being the hottest ticket in town, come and hear from experts working with 3D in production and post through to delivery.
In association with industry partners On Sight, SGO, Avid, Tektronix & Panasonic, tickets to these sessions are free but available on a first come first served basis, so arrive early to avoid disappointment.
@Buy Holographic TV
Buzzing mate!
@ 3DCINEMA
I’m based in London.
If that ticket isn’t going to get used i can get there and report back.
I don’t want to rain on anybodies parade here, but there have been a lot of low quality hand regs recently.
If you are serious about 3D domains it is probably time to start buying quality on the secondary market. You are better off paying $500 for a great name than the same amount for 60 mediocre ones.
Brad
@ leigh
ticket is in my name/company 🙁
the commercial low cost holographic TV isn’t a technology we will have so soon, but, after all, many good domains sold now at high prices have been registered 10+ years ago, so, the owners of 3D domains must just wait to sell them at high prices
That’s a shame, nevermind.

I just turned down $29k for 3dlaptop.com from an end user 🙂
The great ones will get 5 figs and thanks to 3dprinting.com we have a great example.
@ David Garcia
Just emailed you mate.
The $150k OBO is insane. Overpriced. I would have taken the $29K. However, if you’re not hurting for money, then you can wait for a better offer. I don’t mind asking triple your price on a generic domain that is older and far better. It targets advertising. In any case, the asking price on your 3d domain may work one day, but at this moment you’re asking an arm and leg for a finger domain.
My logic is this…. should end users truly want to own the ” 3d laptop ” market in dot com there is nearly no better name, as generic and targeted for said market as you can get. I know even the plural wants 5 figs however the searches etc are nearly half the number of mine.
So.. $29k is good reseller money for sure, end user, not a chance, the price isnt firm but at least lets the end user know I am not giving the name away. If MSFT or Dell or Toshiba etc truly wants it than the price will not be a real issue. If not I may let it go in the 5 figs should I feel I should. You can always come down, eliminates regrets 🙂
@Josh
Great news mate.
@Josh,
You can set the price at any amount you want. Every extension in taken in 3D computer and 3D laptop. Your .com is the best.
You’re probably holding out for a better price – once there are many more searches. There’s anticipation for the 3D laptop. Quality domain. Maybe the market will catch up to your asking price. Good luck.
If anyone wants to make some money
3D-SMARTPHONE.COM
3D-SMARTPHONES.COM
(Not mine) Are on go-daddy expiring domains and have 22hr left each i think, they only have 3 bids each, upto $25 each. Trust me, I cant say this no more, get them if you can.
$25 can easily go up to $300. I jumped into a Go Daddy auction with a few minutes left. The price went from $30 to $225. I won. There will be bidders that will push the price up.
@J
I think them two auctions can go upto $x,xxx , not joking aswell! The world has been opened up to 3d mobiles now after WMC.
@ 3dconsole.com
I know these aren’t half as good but just hand regd:
smartphone-3d.com
smartphones-3d.com
smartphones3-d.com
As far as loptop(s) go, I personally (mind you this is my own opinion) would get rid of that domain as fast as I could at this point in time.
It seems to me (again this is my own opinion) that laptop(s) ,netbook(s), and even conventional desktop computers are being replaced. Slowly they are being replaced with more portable things like Smartphones, tablets, and so on.
It has always been my belief that the term 3D has a shelf life as it is. I have gone one to give my opinion that we have a window of 5-8 years to make our money in the 3D world and move on.
I also think that terms like laptop and netbook are looking at the same type of limitation(s). I think the overall popularity of laptops will be replaced by something else (i.e. smartphones and/or tablets)
So if I owned 3Dlaptop(s).com (or what ever the extension) I would start making preparations to move on that domain some time sooner rather then later.
Just my own thoughts.
Cheers
I agree with Slate
.. Laptops are slowly being replaced
… it may be hard for someone to pay that kind of money for a product that won’t last much longer… tablets, tablet phone hybrids, and mobile computing in general have really put a big dent in this industry.
i’d consider this conversation for yourself Stuart as well, as ‘Superphone’ is easily on the rise and in the process of replacing ‘Smartphones’
I’d hate to see anybody here overplay their hand.
best of luck to you both – you both deserve it !!
@ Josh
$29K for 3DLaptop.com is not “good reseller money”, it is a top tier end user offer price. Do you really honestly thing someone is going to come along and beat that offer anytime soon, if ever?
I would suggest trying to close the deal. Obviously the higher price the better, but I have a feeling you are going to be kicking yourself down the road for not taking the offer.
$29K reinvesting @ reseller price can yield much better results than sitting on that name. Just my opinion.
Brad
@iholotv
Thanks for that mate, i know everything replaces everything eventually and i will with my domains, replace old for new, no domain will last forever and i think everyone knows that. But thanks for the kind words.
@Leigh
Nice domains, if i was you or anyone on this forum, I’d have a go for the two on go-daddy, 3D-SMARTPHONE.COM and 3D-SMARTPHONES.COM will give you a good return.
@Josh
I dont think Laptops will be replaced for tablets any time soon. I know people like tablets but how the hell can you touch type on them? I cant, and i took this into consideration when i needed a new laptop, i went to PCWorld near me and tried to touch type, impossible, tablets and good for you tube, facebook and looking at blogs, buying dvd’s. Laptops will always have a strong place in the market.
“I would suggest trying to close the deal. Obviously the higher price the better, but I have a feeling you are going to be kicking yourself down the road for not taking the offer.”
I dare say that I agree with Brad…LOL
I guess things like that can happen from time to time.
Cheers
@Slate/Brad
i don’t thin i’d go that far – i still think there’s more value in this name than that.. i know 3dPrinting will be around a bit longer, but i think 3dLaptop will sell more units and make a boatload of money for the right person.
.. i would hold out for probably half of the initial asking price, honestly.. but i would try my hardest to not sell this at that price… hard to walk away from $29,000, so all the credit in the world to ya.
@Stuart
.. i gues you didn’t pay too much attention to the CES this year:
Allin In One Tablets (or Sliding Tablets) are on the way… these are AWESOME… this finally makes sense to me to own a tablet.. also.. no one is calling these ‘laptop’… ‘Tablet’ has become THE trendy term in computer world that everyone wants to market.
Here is a video:
they run both android systems when in tablet mode, and regular windows once it slides in.
this, i want !!
@3DConsole.com
We have been cool for a long time.
I think you have a good understanding of 3D domains and where they stand but I have to disagree with you on the whole laptop being replaced.
Reason being, tablets (as a whole) have only been out for less then a year now.
They continue to evolve to suit the average user. There is no lack in demand for tablets and will not be one in the foreseeable future.
Laptops (if I am not mistaken…. But I think I read this) sales have peaked/plateaued in recent years and at the same time netbook sales have diminished.
It is my personal opinion that given the current trends (tablets going up and laptops staying the same or going down) that laptops are on their way to being replaced.
There are only more advancements to be made with tablets. Now a days, you dont expect to hear too much about the next big laptop. You get what you get and they are nearly the same across the board.
We are not going to see any more advancements and there for they will be replaced with something more exciting and fresh.
Much can be said the same about DVD/Blu Rays.
They are well on their way out as well, being replaced with streaming/internet movies.
I fully expect that we will see DVDs/Blu Rays to be replaced in the next few years as everyday house hold appliances become smart appliances.
Just my thoughts. Take from them what you will.
Cheers
“3dTablet” will be the biggest winner in 3d Computing.

yeah man.. tablets will easily replace laptops..
they’re even being integrated into the dashboards of all future connected cars.
i have a link waiting to be approved … in that link, you will see the ‘Sliding Tablet’… or ‘All In One Tablet’
this is a Tablet/Laptop.. but is being called a Tablet
I know $29k isnt nothing but part of what motivates is where you are presently in life. I have made $850,000 offers on generic that the seller feels is worth $1M and wont budge, why? The seller is already a multi millionare. One fact is timing, for me the timing isnt quite yet 🙂
I still have very nice cash flow for continued flipping so no rush. I have sold multiple big names over the last 6 years, some I wish I held out for more, its risk/reward, sometimes you gamble.
Now half of my asking price would be difficult to refuse lol
Close the deal!! Then do a press release on it… it could help all of us in this down market. Your decision of course.
Welcome back 3D Domain Names
29K for 3DLaptop.com is to cheap Hold that Address IMO
@3DCONSOLE.COM
Are those your domains or what?? 😉
@Josh
Nice offer, I think you have done right thing, wait for a better offer and wait until until 3D laptops are the norm
I would sell my 2 for a quarter of that, anyone want to buy a couple of hyphens, they are going cheap lol
3D-Laptops.com
3D-Laptop.com
The tablet/laptop debate is interesting, I am a bit torn between the 2 terms as I have names with both, but I have noticed my Google alerts for “Tablet Apps” and “Tablet App” are going crazy in the last month so its certainly growing in popularity. I have TabletApp.com in my portfolio and hopefully I’m onto a winner with this one…any thoughts on how big tablet apps will become?
I look at things like tablets as fads until proven otherwise, hype is not proof, longevity is and a laptop is hard to trump for serious work.
@Leigh
Not my domains mate, they wouldnt be in a expired auction if they were mine!
Not sure about this one but thought id have it

On the Way: 3-D Smartphones and Tablets:

there’s a millennium bug here? 🙂
I think the difference between 3dlaptop and 3dprinting is that even if latops do continue for decades, within an x amount of years ALL laptops will have 3d capability.
Whereas the term ‘3d printing’ will probably ALWAYS make sense, because there will always be 2D printers.
And 3D printing will likely completely revolutionise industry and commerce.
That doesn’t mean, of course, that 3dlaptop isn’t worth more than $29,000 If you were at the top of Google with that you could easily be making $5,000 a week from affiliate sales in a year or two’s time.
If I had a million in the bank I would certainly have bought 3dprinting.com for more than $33,000
Just been wondering what to do with my 3DAMATEUR.COM , then I just realised that the 3d phones coming out have 3d recording capabilities, its not rocket science. 🙂
“If you were at the top of Google with that you could easily be making $5,000 a week from affiliate sales in a year or two’s time.”
There in is my problem, Im not a computer guy per say, developing and ranking is beyond me.
3d printing, watched a show on discovery the other day, it is very good app for businesses who could utilize it, what exactly is it that makes it more than a fad for the average consumer though. I can imagine as with all tech it will become more affordable and easier to use ( apparently you need to blow off the image after production ( not a home office or little johnny task ). Apart from specific industry I don’t see it as a one on ever desk app. jmo
Its not all fun with the 3D phones, people are already starting a hate campaign –
“3D-enabled smartphones won’t do any better than 3D TVs”

@Josh you should consider leasing it to someone (an affiliate marketer) who would develop it. Maybe you could agree a 10% cut of whatever you finally sell it for, or some such deal?
@3dconsole Incredible the number of people who are determined to believe that 3D is a fad.
But it seems, on the whole, that the LG phone has been getting positive reviews.

@ Josh, You should counter with $50 grand. 3D Laptops Aren’t Selling, Is Anyone Surprised? http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/09/22/3d-laptops-arent-selling-is-anyone-surprised
3D Printers have been in used for years to manufacture machine parts. The 3D dimensions are entered to the machine via computer file, usually a CAD file, then the printer prints out the part, layer by layer in whatever material you want, and – voila! – you open the door, and the whole part is there!
The first 3D printer I saw was in the Disney machine shop. It prints parts as they need, if they cannot buy them from manufacturers. Stands to reason, as the rides are unique, and require unique parts. That was like, some 18 years ago. 3D printers are becoming ubiquitous, as it is cheaper to print jewellery, footwear, industrial designs, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) needs, automotive, aerospace, dental and medical devices than mass-produce them.
Hope that helps! 🙂

Anyone selling a 3D – Holo domain, please contact me immediately with your top 10 best and I’ll provide more info.
thanks
(Thanks Embee)

Provide what type of info? And are you referring to both 3d and holo?
@ Josh, Stephen’s announcement is near the bottom of the comments, posted today (15th):
http://www.successclick.com/the-3d-domain-revolution-the-future-trend-wave-starts-now_2010_11_16/#comments
Oh I see, a big 3d/holo auction, cool but risky.Id give it a go if all the major tech companys and brand names were aware and were willing to participate. A general auction as we’ve become used to is not so great. Maybe Stephen can divulge who, where, when and end user bidders that are contacted?
@3d Cinema said: “i took a couple of wild stabs at dtv a while back those are proving popular now so guess i must have been on the right track with them.”
That will be me: I registered every decent dtv domain I could in the last month or so. What have you got? Mine:
BroadcastDTV
MobileDTVAntennas
usbDTV
Ive put in my list of 10 domains, has everyone?

“Anyone selling a 3D – Holo domain, please contact me immediately with your top 10 best and I’ll provide more info.”
Did we ever get what kind of info is being provided?
Or is it what Josh was speaking about, someone trying to set up an auction.
I am just curious.
Cheers
@Console, you’re domains are of the quality that they’re no-brainer. Seriously! I’ve seen your list! The rest of us – I don’ t think I even HAVE ten great 3D domains, or even necessarily one. Think I’ll get them reviewed $1.00/domain by Stephen, first.
@3D Cinema, what dtv domains do you have? 🙂
Here is the post of the announcement:
THE AUCTION”: 3D / HOLO / FUTURE TREND DOMAINS ROLLING OUT HUGE

French operator SFR is strengthening its offer of 3D content a few month after beginning the broadcast of a limited number of football matches and concerts.
SFR is now offering a new on-demand catalogue of 3D content to its Neufbox and Neufbox Evolution customers, whether ADSL connected to HD TV or fibre and equipped with a 3D TV set.
The library currently offers some ten programmes ranging from Films like A Christmas Carol, documentaries to concerts. It will be enriched over the year.
Neufbox Fibre subscribers who are also receiving Canal+ now can also 3D dedicated channel Canal+ 3D, which is also now offering a football match and a movie each month.

Roku debuts 3D TV with WealthTV
The Roku set-top media streaming box is bringing its first round of 3D programming to the mix, via the WealthTV network.
The programming is devoted to the upper crust world of fine homes, cars, exotic travel and other champage-soaked topics that can benefit from an immersive viewing experience.
More specifically, the titles include: ‘Wonders of the World – Statue of Liberty,’ ‘The Enchanted Hill – Inside Hearst Castle’ and ‘Wheel on Wheels – The Classic Benz.’
“3D set owners can now turn to Roku as a source for family-friendly and highly entertaining 3D content,” said Anthony Wood, founder and CEO of Roku, in a statement. “With WealthTV’s inaugural launch of 3D programming on Roku, we’re pleased to be a recognized source for consumers looking for a new dimension in television viewing.”
WealthTV is providing native 3D programming in side-by-side format.
“WealthTV is committed to ensuring that 3D enthusiasts have easy access to a wide range of 3D programming,” said Robert Herring, Sr., founder and CEO of WealthTV. “Our 3D library and on-going 3D productions will deliver an abundance of entertaining 3D titles via Roku over the coming months.”
WealthTV’s 3D content is available via its existing service on Roku, which also features WealthTV’s 24/7 live feed and more than thirty video-on-demand titles. WealthTV doesn’t live up to its name when it comes to billing: The service in all formats is available for a collective price of $2.99 per month, which the companies point out is less than a dime a day.
WealthTV launched its high definition programming services in June of 2004; 3D content was launched in July of 2010

LG puts hopes on ‘next generation’ 3-D TV
LG is touting film patterned retarder, or FPR, technology in which lighter glasses like those worn at 3-D movie theaters match up images optimized for each eye to result in a smoother picture. For people who wear eyeglasses, there is a clip-on version.
Havis Kwon, president and CEO of LG’s home entertainment business, said that the FPR technology was developed within the broader LG conglomerate by LG Electronics, LG Display Co. and LG Chem Ltd.
Kwon acknowledged that since all manufacturers are introducing 3-D TVs and so-called smart TVs, the stage is set for a tough fight in the developing global market

I don’t have any really great 3d domains. I have some very good holo names but I think it’s way too early to expect anyone to pay a fair price for them.
My best 3d names are probably :

Samsung says no to 3D Phones
“…We just don’t see [3D] is needed yet – good luck to the innovators though, it will be interesting to see if it works, and if it does you’ll see a response from Samsung quickly.”, he adds”
Why do people in high places say things like this? I guess we will have to wait for the quick response.
……so to sum that up – we dont think 3d is needed for phones, but if it sells then we will build millions.
Nvidia releases the Kal-El quad-core mobile chip
Nvidia has announced their brand new quad-core mobile processor at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The new processor was given the interestingly superheroic name Kal-El. Just in case you did not read a lot of comic books as a kid, this is the name that Superman was given by his parents on his home planet of Krypton.
During a live demonstration at the Mobile World Congress Nvidia showed off the speed that Kal-El can give to web browsing, with speeds that are two times faster than other dual-core processors currently on the market. Of course, you really cannot simply take the companies word for it. A lot of factors can effect the speed of browsing.
It is time for us to bring in an objective measure. When tested, Kal-El received a CoreMark score of 11,352. That score is, as promised, roughly twice the performance rating score of Nvidia’s Tegra 2. The Tegra 2 received a CoreMark score of 5,840.
The Kal-El processor is expected to ship in as-yet-unnamed tablets by August of 2011 and be featured in smartphones by Christmas 2011. Though a few lucky customers are already getting samples of the products made with the new Nvidia chip currently. The names of the devices that are sporting these enhanced chips were not released
3D Systems 4Q income up
3D Systems Inc. posted fourth-quarter net income of $9.4 million, or 40 cents per diluted share, more than doubling the $3.6 million, or 16 cents per diluted share, it earned a year earlier.
Sales grew to $51.6 million from $36.4 million.
For the full year, the Rock Hill-based company earned $19.6 million, or 83 cents per diluted share, jumping from $1.1 million, or 5 cents per diluted share, in 2009.
Revenue increased to $159.9 million from $112.8 million a year earlier.
Cooliris and InMobi have come together to bring 3D advertising to the market via a new platform named Cooliris-InMobi solution.
The new platform aims to make ads more engaging. Banners can be made immersive and eye-catching, even without making 3D content using accelerometer-driven parallax.
The solution also provides the ability for advertisers to add 3D effects including lighting, shading and motion to make their advertisements interactive and rich, as well as the option to run the ads at scale through InMobi’s global mobile ad network and improve monetization.
“This global 3D advertising partnership is an example of the powerful, flexible nature of our mobile technology platform. I am excited we’ll now be able to offer our customers true immersive 3D creative, in a scaled, integrated manner,” said Sridhar Ranganathan, VP, product management at InMobi.
According to Soujanya Bhumkar (pic), CEO and co-founder, Cooliris: “Today’s banner and full screen advertising does not fully leverage the power of the iOS platform to create engaging, interactive experiences.”
“Advertisers can now regard the ad unit as a full brand experience rather than a sizing constraint on messaging. This partnership gives users a new experience that makes brand ads engaging and memorable,” he added.

@3d Domain Names
Thanks mate, I have quite a few nice .us names and get no interest either (3D-TV.us, 3DPlayers, 3DRecorders.us, 3DHomeCinemas.us, 3DGamer.us etc)
A lot of my domaining time is spent aimed at the UAE and Singapore, so I know the market over there pretty well and I have a few contacts too which makes it easier. After reading the numerous articles on 3D printing, it certainly looks like its going to be used in a lot of industries and is going to commonplace pretty soon so I thought these 2 names were worth the gamble
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7h09dTVkdw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07QxFQ3uUFw
In terms of the debate as to which will be the prefix that get’s commonly used (holo, holographic, or hologram), I noticed the other day that the term ‘stereoscopic’ in relation to 3D hasn’t really been shortened to ‘stereo’ as you might expect it to be.
Perhaps that’s because stereo has a firmly established use as meaning stereo sound. Or perhaps it’s because stereoscopic isn’t a commonly used word, as holographic will be when holographic tv’s start hitting the market?
Also, I really don’t rate hologram as a common prefix, but actually it does get a lot of search engine traffic at the moment. For example, hologram tv ranks above both holographic tv and holo tv.
@Giles.
Wow. Nice names, I think 3D printing is the best future trend investment of all.
There’s a great article in The Economist about it. They’re basically saying it will revolutionize industry just like the steam engine or the printing press did.
I’ve reg’d 3Dobjectprinting.com and 3Dlaserprinting.com.
I also reg’d 3Dfoodprinting.com, food-printing.com and food-printers.com

Some of my marketing contacts tell me that holographic may be shortened to simply the letter H.
Also, holographic video is being talked about already, and that may be shortened to HV.
Speculating like the rest of you, I have invested in regging
3DHPHONE.com and net
3DHVPC.com and net, as well as
3DHLaptop.com (someone else beat me to the dot net).
Good luck.
@vanguard names
It’s worth a flutter on premium names like that, especially if insiders have told you that those could be the eventual shortened versions.
I still think the odds are quite low, but you’ll be mega rich if you get lucky.
The reason why high-definition gets shortened to HD is because it is two words long, and 5 syllables in total.
Why does the term ‘holo’ need any further shortening? It’s quite a beautiful word, it trips off the tongue easily, and is already to some extent established. Holo takes no longer to pronounce than other suggested shortenings such as HG or HV (like them is two syllables, and only contains 2 more letters).
I think the only real debate is to whether ‘holo’ names are always preferable to the full ‘holographic’.

I’ve mentioned before on this thread that another reason the likes of HD, PC, 3G, 4G, TV, AR, 3D exist is that these are acronyms/abbreviations are used throughout the world. They act as a universal language. Non English speaking countries know of these terms. ‘Holographic’ is spelled differently in pretty much every country you care to translate it from . So yes, Holo, HG, HV will all probably be used by different companies and for different tech. But I also think for a long time to come, Hologram and Holographic will be the terms initially used whilst the world gets used to this revolutionary new technology.
That’s a good point regarding the universal language magicpig2, I hadn’t really thought of that.
I guess some products will adopt the abbreviated form in their name, even if it doesn’t become the common generic term.
For example the Nintendo 3DS. I still doubt if 3DS will become common for 3d stereoscopic products, but obviously 3dsconsole.com, or 3dsgames.com are good to have now.

Comcast to Start Streaming on Tablets
http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/05/comcast-to-start-streaming-on-tablets/?scp=7&sq=comcast&st=cse
Oh, yeah! Comcast isn’t fooling around – yay for me! 🙂
Plus,
Mobile3DDTV dot com, registered Tuesday. 😀
@Louise, that is bad domain. Not even worth 2-cents! Why you register mobile3ddtv.com??? You will never even get 1 person to visit that domain! Foolish waste of money on that domain!
the difference of costs between a 2D and a 3D display or TV is very little, si, within one-two years max, ALL computers, tablets, monitors and TV of every price will be 3D or 3D-ready
3dPrintingSystem etc.
within 5-10 years the 3D printers will be very cheap and common, so, your 3D printing domains should be sold very well
anyhow, the 3D printing and the holographic TV will come in the far future
today, the best 3D market are those around movie, TV and games
“Mobile3DDTV dot com”
I own 3Dsat.TV and Sat3D.TV
Does anyone have a 3D dedicated website that is up and running and that is doing well with traffic?
I am curious on where things stand as far as what people have going for websites.
I see that people have a lot of domains but I think there needs to be some more active 3D websites up and running.
Maybe I just missed if you put your website out there.
Just a question.
Cheers

2000 comments! 🙂
2001 comment. This thread is not of quality. Most of the time there are private discussions on who got what and what they think is good
This blog is capitalizing on the 3D traffic, even though it’s not quality traffic. On most domain blogs, how many of the unique visits lack quality? Advertisers are not get their money’s worth.
2 years from now the same people will be commenting on the same 3D and holo stuff. I see so many poor hand registrations. It’s pathetic.
@ j
this thread didn’t start out this way… it’s now evolved into a little group of us, for whatever reason… i can understand your point of view if you haven’t been following every post since the beginning, but there are really a chock full of goodies spread throughout these pages… most of us do a ton of research and can back a lot of these registrations up… most of us, anyway.
and yes, we probably will be talking about the same names in 2013, simply because it’s going to take that much time to see the full maturation of some of these names.
me, personally?.. my overall take on holographic domain names is probably more realistic to anticipate 2015 as its true arrival…. there will be some magical moments in holographic tech over the next couple of years, and it will spread around into industries that you probably may not have any awareness to, but it will start trickling out in the next two years.
i don’t think MHB is trying to capitalize on anything … he posts a lot of great articles on this site regularly – this one just happened to stick for some of us… haha… i also think he placed this thread on cruise control at least a thousand posts ago.
in any event, just like any niche, any extension, and any discussion – there’s going to be some good names, some bad names and some even worse names… so be it… i’m sure you have a few ‘uggo’s’ laying around your control panel too so what’s the problem?
@slate
I think I have around 200 3D sites up and about 20 holo. I make around $100 a day from 3D affiliate programs and that doubles every 3 months or so. I’m confident that within 2 years that there will be relavent affiliate programs for even the home holo entertainment names.
Personally I don’t give a figs leaf if I never sell any of my bad hand regged 3D names. I would wager money that within 2 years I will be making over $1,000 a day from monetising my 3D names.
@3d Domain Names,
The problem is that this link influenced people to register many bad domains. I let domain blogs influence me to buy bad domains. I let 400 domains drop, even ones I could probably sell, but grew inpatient with trying to find a buyer.
I managed to overcome bad registrations such as reverse order domains with high appraisals on Sedo’ price suggestion system and on many domain valuations. People registering reverse order 3ds’ and many names. Whereas, $8 is not much to spend, there is a problem when people are buying 200 names with an intent to make an investment.
There are good articles on this blog, but I believe this article and post to influence newcomers to purchase domains with hope they will make a profit. I let some good domains drop because I own many specific domains in popular niches. With two great sales in one niche, I don’t have to worry about rushing to make sales. 4-5 niches defined my domain experience.
In the past, I mentioned that you can buy 100 lottery tickets, and maybe only 5 tickets will make you money. Adding an extra character to a domain will mean the difference between a sale and having a portfolio of anchors weighing you down.
You can never go wrong with generic job and GEO job domains. Resume and cover letter domains that are specific will do well. Education domains are also good on ad clicks. I’m scoring good traffic on many domains acquired in the Summer. Some of these clicks are $6 each. I gained my experience through avoiding bad advice.
I only purchased two 3d domains. I have 6 .co domains. I didn’t go crazy on domains that offer me little rewards. Many people on this board can afford to take a loss. However, there are others that can’t afford to buy 500 domains that are bad. Selling domains is a challenge. While it’s a rewarding process, it can also be dejecting.
I don’t regret making mistakes with my registrations. In the bunch, I also knew to purchase a few good domains. Those domains led me to make sales, and to purchase additional in the niche that defined my portfolio. As long as many on this board don’t mind losing money, then buying any 3D name that comes to mind is not a problem.
If you can make money with affiliate programs, then more power to you. I never produced any results with affiliate programs. It seems near impossible to covert a pay-per-sale lead. My only results are ad clicks on Why Park.
3DLink.org is available
3Dqwerty.com is too (probably not worth anything because all phones will be touch screen)).
Good luck on your 3D quest. Be careful on registering too many domains that have no real meaning.
@ slate
my 3d directory gets around 250-350 unique visitors a day at the moment but i have still work to do with it
“If you can make money with affiliate programs, then more power to you. I never produced any results with affiliate programs. It seems near impossible to covert a pay-per-sale lead. My only results are ad clicks on Why Park.”
Some of the affiliate programs I’m under convert at under 1:5 with up to $200+ per lead. Relying on adsense tells me that you don’t have a clue neither about search engine optimisation nor affiliate marketing.
But if people here can genuinely make money from sitting on their asses just buying domains and selling them for huge profits, I’m very jealous.
Me, I’m well on the way to being a millionaire within 5 years developing my crappy hand regged .nets and .orgs although I do have to work 8 hours a day admittedly.
I’m happy. It doesn’t even seem like work. If I’m going to be spending hours in forums talking about 3d and other products that I believe in I may as well be posting my thoughts on my blogs and getting them to the top of search engines where I’ll make a fortune.
Comcast launches 3D channel
Fans of al fresco hockey and the Kings of Leon rock band will be eager to know that the objects of their devotion will be among the first offerings from Xfinity 3D, the new 24-hour 3D channel from Comcast Corp.
The channel will bring subscribers who own 3D television sets concerts from top-tier artists as well as sporting events, more than a dozen movies, and original 3D programming, Comcast said in a press release. The launch of Xfinity 3D is the latest in a series of 3D programming offered by Comcast.
The channel is set to officially debut with the telecasting of the 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic and a MTV World Stage concert by Kings of Leon on Feb. 20.
@Buy Holographic TV,
I don’t convert, or even rely on adsense. I only covert on ad clicks on Why Park. I’m sure the better affiliate programs that are more relevant to a domain’s keywords will make the money. I’ll admit that I lack in the SEO and affiliate marketing area. I discussed my plans to put my domains to work.
I don’t want to waste many job and resume domains. They can work to score resume service and career services. When I receive consistent clicks for resume and cover letter service, and the leads never produce a sale, then there is something wrong.
It’s one of those situations where you won’t believe the results until your domain converts a lead. I’m open for any ideas on how I can convert leads into sales. Is there a strategy to close leads into sales? Thanks.
@Dong said: “@Louise, that is bad domain. Not even worth 2-cents! Why you register mobile3ddtv.com??? You will never even get 1 person to visit that domain! Foolish waste of money on that domain!”
It wouldn’t be the first time I registered a domain, then later thought, “Why’d I register that? It’s SO BAD!”

Brainstorming a domain name for Stephen’s project, I hand-reg’d EmergingDomains after I slept on it. I like it: there are “Emerging Markets” and “emerging technologies.” Wouldn’t it make a great showcase for some of our domains? If I put a link to your showcase page of your 3D and holo domains, would you link back to my showcase page? Guess it would be appealing if I could get “emerging domains” to rank high on Google!
I see 3dreleases.com sold on Domain Fest Santa Monica for $350
Just snapped up
3DTABLETS.NET
$12
yes, 3Dtablets is a good domain

Thanks, I know its a .net but can’t win them all.
To add to my (small) 3d printing portfolio I registered:
Shapeprinting.com
Shapeprinters.com
Got the idea from a company called Shapeways who run a 3d printing business plus there was the first copyright complaint regarding a ‘shape’…

Demo’s of the 3DS leaving people in awe in Staffordshire near me

As I said before, we’ll discover in the next 3 months how big 3D is going to be, or rather if it will explode this year or take a lot longer.
The 3DS and the LG 3D will probably sell 10 x more units by the end of the summer than the entire number of 3D TVs sold worldwide in 2010. If they achieve the same kind of buzz that the Kinect did after launch, then 3D is indeed the future, and it will arrive very soon.
So many in the media are trying to poopoo the LG 3D smartphone as a gimmick, but I’ve noticed from the comments underneath the articles that a hell of a lot of people are really excited about this phone.
@Buy Holographic TV
Lot’s said 3D Tv was a gimmick, but we have over 201,000 exact searches for “3d tv” a month and rising. The feedback Ive been reading on Twitter for the 3d phone has been good and everyone seems excited, a couple of people writing articles doesn’t produce sales, if the public are ready for it then the public will have it.
@3d console
Agreed.
Hopefully we will get some word of the pre-order numbers for the LG soon.
BTW, what do people think of the following which I recently picked up :
live3dstreaming.com
live3dvideo.com
I thought they’d go nicely with my live3dsport.com and live3dsex.com
@Buy Holographic TV
Im not sure the pre-orders will be high, I think the price of the phone ( around the $800 mark sim free ) is enough to put a lot of people off, I think people will wait for them to come on contract in my opinion.
It isn’t 3D, and it’s not future, because it’s already in use, but I hand-reg’d BlackBoxPhone after reading over the weekend how some dock them on their dashboards, and with a black box app, they shoot video out the windshield while tracking gps data. You can reconstruct an accident, or backtrack if you were speeding.

@Louise
I hand regged 3dprintingtemplates.com the other day.
Also just acquired channel3d.com I know somebody here has 3dchannel.com
@ Stuart
Just snapped up
3DMOBILESTORE.COM
You just hit a very nice one there
@Buy Holographic TV
Very nice mate, well done!
@DM Partners
Thanks, It had 11 bids on it via go-daddy, I managed to bag it for $60.
@Louise,
There were several 3D Printing articles that have come out over the past few weeks in widely-read periodicals. I read one today that talked about 3D Printing becoming the next “trillion-dollar-industry”. Should be interesting.
I’m setting up a wordpress account right now for my very first blog, which will be attached to the domain I have listed above.
– TBC
I only picked up on domain name that is 3D printing related.
Desktop 3D scanner (.com)
Since 3D printing and scanning go hand in hand… might as well pick one up!
I guess we will have to wait and see.
Cheers
Acquired a domain this week (just got possession today) that has been registered for three years and gets roughly 20K hits per month (lately…one year average is 8K). Anyway, we picked it up by trading a domain we hand-reg’d two months ago for $9 🙂
Our new acquisition is pointing at a site filled with affiliate ads – should turn profitable on this one before dinner tonight.
– TBC
Desktop 3D scanner (.com)
good domain … the low cost 3D printing for all is coming soon
Japan has gone crazy over the 3DS.
…….3D mainstream here we come!!!!!
@Cheese Slice
Can you tell us the name please
@3DConsole.com
Its a pity Japan is not English speaking, the only name valuable there would be the the Japanese language .co.jp, anyone speak Japanese lol
@cheese slice and everybody else
I find the idea of trading domains highly interesting. I’ve e-mailed a couple of people in the past offering swaps but was rejected out of hand each time, even when my domains were valued higher than theirs.
Does domain swapping happen a lot? Is it conducted via escrow?
@Giles
Ive had 42 views from Japan on my 3dconsole website, I have google translator on so they might have used it? Or they might have clicked on by mistake. Shame their not interested though for big money, will have to peg my hopes on it being a smash in the us and europe.
@Giles,
For my own reasons, I’m not going to reveal the domain yet. I’m doing monetization tests on it right now. I took possession of it at 8pm EST last night and as of 10:47am EST today I’ve taken 490 unique hits (not bad considering most of it was overnight traffic). Problem is, I didn’t make one penny in affiliate money, but I need to be patient and see how it plays out. I need to figure out a way to make some money on this traffic (there are over 5,200 real backlinks out there for this domain, plus I’m getting good type-in traffic). One of the affiliate links is my own for one of my other domains (Burbank.cc). I’ve got a competition with Elliot Silver to see if I can ever get Burbank.cc to rank higher in Alexa than Burbank.com – I should just point ALL of my traffic from this new domain at Burbank.cc and get it done now 🙂
@Buy Holo,
I called this guy on the phone and just did a trade in real-time with the Godaddy rep on the phone at the same time. I had an awesome .com that he wanted and I wanted his traffic, so we agreed to just do a swap – I estimate the domain I traded to him is worth at least $20,000 to an end-user, so it was a good trade (I hand-reg’d this domain four months ago for $9 😉
– TBC
I take that back – just made $10 from an insurance affiliate with this domain (I’m $1 in the black!!!!!) 🙂
@TBC,
I’m sorry say, but your Burbank.cc will never rank higher Burbank.com. Burbank.cc is not even in the same field as Burbank.com.
You can try every trick in the book to move your site up. Hower, Burbank.com will always be the better website. Good luck on trying. You never know.
someone picked up 3DPRINTER.NET yesterday when it dropped.
@Buy holographic Tv
I like swaps.
@Buy Holographic TV, channels3D is a smart buy! What is your main page? I’d like to list some of your sites on EmergingDomains and put a link to your page.
@ TBC, looking forward to 3DPrinting.cc! First I checked it, and it isn’t there. Tell us when it’s live. ccs have been spotted in high Google rankings! Congratulations on affiliate income!
@ Slate, Desktop3DScanner may become mainstream some day!
@Sat3D.tv, Did you list your domain for $5 million on Afternic?
Please you people, tell me if you want to feature some of your holographic/3D domains on my new site! Thanx! 🙂
@ 3D Domain Names
Just been reading your posts on Elliots Blog. Some good posts and solid reasonings there mate!
Well, I couldn’t decide what to do with my $9 worth of traffic (20,000+ uniques per month :), so I’m pointing it at a domain we’re working on developing (thictionary dot com) – I’ve got a counter at the bottom of the page, so you can see the traffic come in. If anything, the traffic should help with ranking once we launch the site.
Question: why are page-loads on the counter three times the amount of uniques? I only have one page up.
@ iHoloTV, Inspired by your page of links, I wanted to do something for this community, with my new website, EmergingDomains, a directory of emerging tech domains “sightings” from this thread and from SuccessClick, with links back to the owners’ websites – what do you think?

Smartphone3d.com
On Go-daddy 50 min left, upto £150 with 20 bids go for it guys!!!!!!
Good luck
wow, smartphone3d.com is really picking up on godaddy! How much do u think it will end up finally?
Ooh! One minute 30 seconds, the bid is up to $330.00. You got me watching it now!
look at these what have dropped over the last 3 weeks
CHANNEL3D.COM
SMARTPHONE3D.COM
LAPTOPS3D.COM
MOBILEPHONES3D.COM
These have excellent potential I think, I wasnt up for the 3D being at the end at first but JV talked me round in the end andI love them now. Keep your eyes on Go-daddy, they are popping up everyday.
Just seen these two on go-daddy expiring auction
3DTABLETS.ORG
3DTABLET.ORG
I would stay away from .ORG names in this area
@Giles
I agree but once the high searches start for “3d tablets” or “3d tablet” it will hold value, just like tablets.org and tablet.org have now. I couldnt shift my 3dnotebook.org but again once the searches come in high It will gain value and sell, .com’s should always be everyones priority though.
Okay, Em-Bee…. you’ve reached over TWO THOUSAND COMMENTS on your blog article about 3D domains. YOU ARE NOW THE CHAMPION. This feat won’t be beat for at least five years, unless the .com extension is suddenly rendered impotent, nobody will be beat this comment response.
I would like ANYONE to show me proof that any domain blog, forum post, story on a news site, wherever, that EmBee’s article comment response count. You can’t.
THEDOMAINS.COM now holds the record for the most comments EVER on a single article about domains.
NOTE: I would think that RJ would write an article about this, interviewing Embee and all those 3D/holo future trend domain investors.
BTW: My blog at Successclick.com is BACK UP! Come on over and send your love.
Now, you can share the love on my site, I’m sure Embee won’t care. He’s “comment drunk” anyways right now, and “pissed off” at a dork who questioned the size of his “manhood”. Embee, this loser isn’t worth your time.
Well, although I’ve never had personal experience with EmBee in this regard, I can make a quick judgement call here:
If any idiot questions EmBee’s manhood, or his expertise in domaining, let them try to overcome the massive achievement he has created here in receiving over TWO THOUSAND comments on 3D/holo domains.
Like the heading says: THE NEXT BIG THING IS 3D: WHO OWNS THE BEST DOMAINS? (Hint: It’s not me, Frank, Kevin or even R I C K)
And maybe another bombshell will be announced shortly…
Everyone who wants to focus specifically on Future Trend Domains, you can post on my blog now. Successclick.com
Thx EmBee for allowing me your blogspace to announce my blog. (and I don’t have to guess or question the size of that third leg of yours – it’s clear in your domain investing success and just this one blog article that domainers can refer to you as “Mr. Tripod”. ) 😉
@3D Console
I think the branding/end user potential of reverse 3d names is tremendous.
In fact, most end users seem to perhaps even prefer the 3D at the end.
That’s why I snapped up channel3D.com
@Louise Thanks for the link exchange offer. My main site is buyholographictv.com, I guess, but that might change later today. I don’t have a site where I’ve got all my domains listed as I’m primarily an affiliate marketer, not really thought about selling my domains before.
I will add your site today.

been a while since i’ve posted here…. so here it goes
@ Louise: ‘EmergingDomains.com” is pretty tight… i looked into a few future domain name sites myself at one point.. i have this but never did anything with it (yet ?):
• FuturisticDomaining.com
i also have another one that’s all setup pretty nicely with a chock full of original content.. wouldn’t mind a few posts from the regulares here if at all possible as well:
• DestinysWeb.com
goo dlck with your new name.

@ Leigh
Thanks for the kind words in regards to ell. blog… you actually made me re-read what i wrote… haha.. i was kicking some science that day, huh? (haha)
– – – – –
@Stu
3dPrintCo.com
.. nice job man
with all the wolves sniffing around the ‘printing door’ you found a nice name there
… best of luck with it.
– – – – – –
i actually bought a 3d domain name for myself today.. i haven’t bought a 3d name in almost two months i think – but with all the talk about 3d Printers – and what they actually are and DO??… i think the name very much seems to be a misfit… no one’s really ‘printing’ anything.. just cause they use a printer to do it – it’s called ‘printing’ (i guess)
.. but then ian drops all that SCARY sh*t about printing body parts 3d bio 3d printing….
haha… what the *** is that?… haha
..so.. i finally pulled the trigger on this name and honestly… call me crazy all day long … and i know the numbers don’t lie ($33,150)… but i think this may actually be a much better name than ‘3dPrinting’ in the long run – ONLY (c’mon.. i said ONLY :)!) .. only because it’s more accurate as to what is actually happening:
• 3dCloning.com
how is it that with what a 3d printer actually does – it’s NOT called 3d Cloning?? Obviously the industries get to pick and choose the terminology and let us all chase them… but this just makes much more sense to me… no??
.. factor in Iain’s Frankenstein post about 3d bio printing and i think this is just one of those names that may need one major company to finally REALIZE what the hell it’s doing and run with it.
if my point of view makes sense to anyone out there… i left the “3d Flip” out there if anyone wants it…Cloning3d.com is awaiting your arrival 🙂
– – – – – – – – –
King Of II:
and in closing.. one quick question
… would love all your thoughts on this one:
what do you consider to be more valuable and or sought after – with the higher upside:
• a Hyphenatd dot com
• or a clean dot net??
we’re talking high exact search – high competetion
let’s take today as an example:
would 3d-Printer.com have sold for more money than the $1,400 the clean dot net got? (i’m actually a bit disappointed in this sale)
thanks everybody
njoy
🙂
real quick .. here’s just a great clip from Microsoft
for all those feeling down about 3d domain names and the waiting.. please watch this and just remind yourself – it’s coming!!!
imagine websites in this manner!!
That’s why we’re all here 🙂
@ Buy Holographic TV, added you and two sites I believe are yours under, “Develooped” – it’s a nifty category! Potential buyers are sure to check it out!
@ DomainNames3D, added two of your domains to “3D,” and your homepage to “Developed.” You should develop FuturisticDomaining as your showcase, and include a few of each of us, as I did. We should stick together!
@ MHB, I included your two under, “Hologram.”
@3DCinema, you should contact your host. I included one of yours under, “3D,” and I’d like to put your site under, “Developed” – it’s one of my favorites!
@3DConsole, you are represented under “3D,” “Hologram,” and “Developed.”
@HoloKing, you are under, “Holo.”
@magicpig2, waiting for you to complete your homepage.
Hope you enjoy! We should stick together, and link to one another, as DomainNames3D started doing, because we offer a personal experience compared to Sedo and Afternic, which overwhelm the viewer with domains, some of which are available for hand-reg!
Louise:
Your emergingdomains site is very nice, but it doesn’t seem to have a contact or email way for me to send you my 3d/future dn’s. Where can I send them to you? Thanks.

Good link, V exciting stuff.
I know what you’re saying with regards 3d printing.

Good luck with the site

Bad news regarding the holographic tv :
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2381166,00.asp
“The concept of holographic TV remains, for now, a fantasy: only 17 percent of the experts polled believed that holograms would become reality by 2030. ”
Of course, the 17% of the experts might have been the ones actually working on holographic tvs. The teams at MIT and Arizona certainly think it will happen much sooner than 2030.
Just noticed the following at sedo auction (not mine):
3Dmotorsports (dot) com
3DText (dot) net
Both at $200
Looks like anything with 3D infront of it is really picking up!
Hurrah! That must be the most posts dedicated to 3d printing since this thread began. Personallly, I think if any subject can dethrone the 2000+ posts we have here it’ll be 3d printing. I registered a few the other day that I hope will prove to be category killers in years to come:
Furnitureprinting.com
Concreteprinting.com
Toolprinting.com
Gameprinting.com
Time to drop the ‘3d’!

Talk about prices, I thought 3DPrinting dot com selling for only 25500 Euro, it was a steal to whoever bought it! Did anyone else thing that was low? Just from talk of prices and viewing the sales, and the news of the industry.
Thanx for liking EmergingDomains dot com. The comments are open under each category, and you can submit there by category. I won’t publish it! Or email louise [[[[[[at]]]]]]. The email is the 2nd bullet point in the Privacy.
I thought 3dprinting.com was an absolute steal. That could be worth a million in 5 or 10 years time.
TBH I don’t think 3dprinting.com has much relevance to entertainment 3d domains. It’s in a completely different category.
@magic pig
very good names in my opinion!
@louise
thanks for adding my names. I added you to my blog roll and to my new domain page.
Can you add channel3d.com ? That’s probably my most valuable domain. I’ll probably start developing it this week and I’ll add your link when I do.
Added a few more – thanx @BuyHolographicTV! Don’t forget to submit your premiums to Stephen!
Calling on Cloud! Got any cloud domains?
@Louise, hi there, have been following this thread for a while,I have 100’s of cloud computing, hosting domains, do you think the interest is there yet, thinking of holding onto them for a few years with the thought of selling when the best keyword domains are developed! But if there is interest out there could let a few go now, what are your thoughts?

Bit of advice needed.
If you plan or want to sell a domain, is it best to have a site on it or just something saying this domain is for sale and contact info. Will a potential buyer be but off the domain if a site is already set up? Or does this show that the site is not for sale?
Cheers

another travel site developed

Well, my 3D Database site has been doing very well of late. I can really see a trend upwards as time progresses.
I have only had the site up for about 6-7 months now (I dont remember exactly), but the beginning I was averaging only around 25 hits. By month 2 it was more like 50-100 hits, month 3 was 100-150 hits, and so forth.
Last month (February) only 28 days, I had well into 6,000 hits, and the numbers are only going up.
Now keep in mind that the ONLY advertising I have done for this site are the links I have on this forum, Digital point forums, and Noomle. That is it!
Other then the back links for the forums, I just listed the site with all the search engines.
I just thought you guys may find that information positive for 3D domain names.
Just my opinion.
Cheers
@3DConsole.com
Personally, I would have a Sedo page with “for sale” on it or put up your own customized “For sale” page
From experience, some buyers have typed the domain in their browser and seen it developed, they then start looking for something else, presuming the domain is not for sale.
You need to make a decision whether you want to sell the domain or do you want to develop it?
@Giles
Thanks mate, think i might see how my domains get on in Stephen’s auction before deciding their fate, cheers for advice.

This is for ft. I visited your site 3disrael.com/ and it is outstanding. Knowing a bit about film and camera work, I must say that your videography is really great. Perhaps you could contact me at namesales@earthlink.net regarding my jerusalem3d.net and 3djerusalem.net when you have a chance.
My 3d geo/travel destination domain names are getting a good reception at sedo, which has accepted most of them. At least that’s what seems to be happening, since I’ve received rejection emails for some, like 3droma.net one of five submitted in one day. The others have a yellow triangle beside the DN and have been removed from the for sale/Marketplace status.
Question: If I list GreatWall3d.com, what do you think my reserve price should be, given that it can be a great travel portal to China, which we all know has a greatly growing travel industry? Thanks in advance.
Announcement: Find updated info about the Future Trend Domain Auction (FTD) from SuccessClick at EmergingDomains!
@ Michael, if you have cloud domains, would you email or put them in the comment section of “cloud?”
Please, everybody, include a website to reference your contact info! Or say which email address, but it’s nicer to post a website.
That way, someone interested in your domain at EmergingDomain might see others he likes!
@ dmpartners, I listed 3DPrivateCloud – great!
@ Ferg, looking more for off the beaten track “cloud” names which could brand a company. The weirder, the better – the sky is the limit!
@ trickytobeat, I added 3DNamen – I’m German – I like it!
@ Slate, congratulations on your site doing well!
Content is king!
Real quick: See this Noomle site, http://www.flight-to-miami.com ? It’s simple, it ranks in Google. The owner updates the articles, listed on the left. It has news feed, videos, and Adsense which profits only the owner. Noomle is free, that guy obviously had a logo made, and used a simple template. My opinion is: develop one of your domains with interesting posts like on this site,or another free site. If you post original content, it won’t get penalized. That’s my opinion. Thank you.

Netflix and 3D trailers promised for the Nintendo 3DS :
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/netflix-and-3d-trailers-promised-for-the-nintendo-3ds-2231831.html
I have live3dvideo.com and live3dstreaming.com
3dlivevideos.com is currently bid at $300 with 5 days to go at Snapnames.
Does anyone know if I can submit names that I acquired only last month to the sucessclick auction? I mean, with the 60 day transfer lock still in place?
@Buy Holographic Tv
Regarding the 60 day thing, the auction is not till the end of April (I think) so your domains should be ok.

Hello Mike,
Wow ! this may be the comment King ! This is what we call the Tulip Syndrome. this is incredible. Our advice is do not be the last one out. Oh the hell with it just have fun !
Gratefully, Jeff Schneider (Contact Group) (Metal Tiger)
so… when do the POSTERS get a pat on the back?
after all… it’s been the same ten or so people from the beginning that have made built this foundation?
I’m sure myself, stuart, 3dcinema and dmpartners (and maybe another one or two i may have innocently forgotten) are responsible for about 1,000 of these posts alone.
We should get some kind of honorary mention, no?
Special ‘shout out’ to one of our websites or something?
heh heh heh 🙂
all in fun
@3D Console That’s another superb name you have there now. That could be the biggest of the lot. Holographic maps are not a speculative future technology, they are actually being produced now. Well done.
I’m just in the process of selling my first ever domain name (for $1,500 – not 3d or holo rated). At least I’m a proper domainer now and not just an affiliate marketer.

I think that 3D cameras will be the big story in the 3D space year. If you look at the digital cameras top sellers list on Amazon, you’ll see that the Fuji 3D camera is on the verge of cracking the top 10. The price has dropped considerably since it was first introduced so mainstream interest is starting to grow.
Wimbledon to undergo 3D revolution

Some good info in here
http://www.3dathome.org/
@the person who owns 3dchannel.com (3dconsole?) : are you submitting it to the futuristic names auction? What reserve price do you suggest I set for channel3d.com? (I’m aware that my name is inferior to yours – unless an end user comes along who happens to prefer the 3d at the end. I might get lucky and a company actually calls its 3d channel ‘channel 3d’.)
I have submitted 3DChannel.com, I have set a high pretty reserve. I dont usually sell domains via auctions and usually focus on end-users so I am happy to hold onto the name for a few years until the time is right.
I guess go in with what you would be happy with. Dont undersell the name and have regrets later on.
the number of comments here and the excitation around the 3D domains don’t reflect the reality because some of the 3D markets (e.g. the low cost 3D printing and the holographic TV) may need 5-10 years to become commercial products
Saw a Overstock.com commercial yesterday they had a sub heading
ShortCut o.co
So in this case the .co is being called a shortcut
Not Great for .co IMO
that means there are only 23 short cuts left and massive lawsuits on the horizon.
In other news 3Dmammograms were approved by the FDA
3DMobilia
3DMemrobilia
HoloCrypt.com
HoloMechanic.com
@dmpartners
I agree that .CO being labeled as a shortcut is not a good thing.
However when you look at Overstock, you have to consider that they have already invest millions in branding Overstock (dot) COM. That is NOT going to go away at a drop of a hat.
What I am seeing is that they are in the midst of branding both of them as the same thing.
Check this out, If you go to O (dot) CO you will see that it has the O CO trademark in the upper left and it also has (in smaller writing)
“also known as overstock.com”
If you type in Overstock (dot) COM you will see the Overstock trademark in the upper left with the “also known as O.CO” in smaller writing.
For those who think that .CO would take over .COM right out of the gate obviously do not understand the finer workings of long standing norms. However, I am not saying that .CO is worthless either. The new branding of it is well less then a year old and it has already made some waves. It has a bright future ahead of it but it will be another year or two before you really start seeing the rewards of owner ship in the premium names.
So there still may be something in 3D .CO domain names. Its anybodies guess as to what will come of that.
Just my opinion. Sorry for taking it off topic.
Cheers.
@Giles thanks for the advice, I’ll be sure not to sell my domain short.
@neon lights there will be psuedo holographic products on the market before the end of the year. 3D printing could possibly be the most game changing invention since the steam engine. I can see even 3dprinter.net being worth xxx,xxx within 5 years.
Just had an email from a bloke who wants to buy these two as a pair
3DSMARTPHONE.CO.UK
3DSMARTPHONES.CO.UK
Any advice on price guys.
Cheers
@stu
i’d personally wait until you set the market with the dot com.
you seem to have the name protected in uk and co so why not ride it out until then.. you’d only be weakening your power i think.
.. just my thoughts… best of luck 🙂

That is one category I sort of regret registering: 3DS. For going off the deep end of 3DS domains, I registered some decent ones in the excitement of discovering handheld 3D, is the only positive I can think of right now.
You people were right! I stand corrected! 🙂

Is 3DS a Trademark for Nintendo?
@Buy Holographic TV, 3D Domain names
Thanks for advice, the bloke who wants the pair only offered me mid £££, not a chance.
@DMPartners
What do you think is best, 3dVideogame.com or 3dGame.com ?
Hey guys, over at successclick.com Stephen has said a bit more regarding the 3D auction –
“We’re looking at an end of April date, lasting a week. However, two major auction sites have expressed interest in holding the auction. We have one auction site in mind, but some final wraps are in the works to seal the deal.”
Great news hey, even the auction sites are fighting over 3D Domains now!
@ 3d console
“3ds” stands for “3d stereoscopic
nintendo have taken this name to use for the 3d ds system
the original term is “S3D”
whether nintendo owns a trademark on it i dont know not something that interests me as i have no names like that.
carefull what you do with your names if you want top dollar dont cheapen them but also be aware and realistic to what you can achieve from them those sales at gda recently didnt reflect too well imo
@ louise
we are all on a constant learning curve dont worry about it,its just more experience for you we all make mistakes and i have made plenty lol (just dropped around 30 names )but as long as you can see why then you win out of it anyway.
i regged s3dhd.net a long time ago regretted it nearly from that moment
@dm partners
would love to see that sell for that lol i have two nice names regarding this but with hyphens
3d-videogame.com
3d-videogames.com
yeh hyphens guys dont knock them look at previous hyphenated sales they might surprise you not saying they are the best names out there but i like em a lot
infiltrant.com
infiltrant (noun) : a medium, chemical or otherwise used in the infiltration of 3d-printing process. The printed parts are dipped in “infiltrant” to cause hardening or curing for added strength and molecular stability
In preparation to contact the end user, I switched the wording of the welcome sticky on EmergingDomains – what do you think? The categories are well-represented now, except “cloud.” Can you people think of good, catchy “cloud” names that a new company might want to brand itself? You people are the most imaginitive! It’s a different “future” to be creative on! Thanx for submissions – it’s full steam to contact industry . . .
@3dconsole What do you think is best, 3dVideogame.com or 3dGame.com ?
Im liking 3Dgame or 3Dgames.com Games being the better one.
The word video does not sit well with me. What is a video game?
@Louise
3Dprivatecloud.com of course

3dVideoGame.com $480 40,000 55 0
3dTVGame.com $220 32,100 19 0
We can compare the value of domains even though Valuate.com’s appraisal seem too low.
@3D Cinema
As I said, its going down, but i think its used the states more than anywhere. Most people just say games now.
I know it’s not popular in Europe or down here in Oz/NZ etc
@Dan
Dont believe anything those automated appraisals say (esitbot, valuate etc) They really aren’t worth anything, except maybe the frequency.
picked this up not long back on the drop
Games3d.net
if you use estibot,valuate or similar to value your domains before purchase or after then its time to stop being a domainer those as giles says are only worth it for frequency

Samsung and LG in rare public battle about 3-D TV
http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-03-samsung-lg-rare-d-tv.html
Hi, Just hand-reg’d: 3DWinning.com! 🙂
@ 3DConsole, thanx for the heads-up about the 3DS demo. Let me look it up . . .
Ok here is my drop domain pickup for the day:
3dVisualizationSoftware.com
I picked up 3dprophet.com from a drop list about a month ago.
estibot appraised at 1000
any takers?
Hey I’m going to double dip today
Just picked up
3dmanual.com for $69
Wow @MHB! Wow wow wow! 3DManual for $69.00 – that’s all I can say!
I nabbed 3Dtablet.org and 3Dtablets.org in auction last week. I also have 3DwirelessPrinter.com and 3DwirelessPrinters.com
I’ll probably be building out one of the tablet names, probably the plural. Any thoughts or suggestions?
I’m in the IT Lan/Wan and infrastructure business and Tablets and Notebooks are where you should be putting your money. For the most part, you can say goodbye to the desktop PC
Wow MHB
… just…wow
I hope all the naysayers we have all been fighting for the past year or so are taking notice. One of the bigger arguments form the naysayers was always that the ‘the big domainers’ are not buying 3d domains… and here’s the Legendary Mike Berkens with a TWNETY FOUR character, three word longtail 3d domain name.
WOW
you rock man!! 🙂
wondering if you could ask you MHB …
.. i remember a little ways back reading an interview you did and unless i am mistaken, you said that you rarely ever deal in any kind of names that are worth less than $5,000
… now…. 3dVisualizationSoftware.com
… me personally, i would have looked right past this and never thought twice about it…
… so i guess what i’m asking is, do you really see this name being a $5,000 name?
.. .if i could further that question to you Mike and ask…
… do you plan on developing this name to hit that $5k?
… and if not…
… do you think that if any regular ole domainer owned this name, it would still be worthy of pulling in $5k… without your popularity?
i hope none of those questions or statements came out the wrong way… they are all just general questions asked with the utmost respect… i would just love to know your thoughts on this one… and even 3dManual… your picturing $5k on this name as well?
either way… best of luck with your names… thanks for the pub to 3ddn
… you have made 3d domainers very proud today, hope you realize that.
…can i follow that up with another question, please.
3dVisualizationSoftware.com is (24) Twenty Four Characters long
… that’s a fairly long name by any standard.
do you, personally, or from experience, have a cutoff as to how many characters a resealable name could/should be?.. i understand there’s exceptions to every rule (such as industries, cpc, demand..etc..), but again, i mean it very generalized.
i ask mostly because of some of my holographic names
… “Holographic” by itself is twelve characters before adding any other key term
so.. for example.. one of the names i have extremely high hopes for is
HolographicCommunications.com
this is our very obvious future and is positioning itself as a top shelf term.
… but that name, as strong as it is… is still Twenty Six Letters (26)
.. that’s alot… and also, in many cases, too long to even be entered into auctions.
with so much attention on ‘getting shorter’… how do you think character count effects the overall asking price?
thanks again for your time 🙂
Just been looking at twitter, the world has gone 3D Mad!
@ DomainNames3D, raises hand. May I take a shot at an answer?
Check this Google search:
http://www.google.com/search?q=3d%20visualization%20software
@ 3DConsole, I sure lost my mind: 3DWinning.com.
Who do you follow on Twitter?
3d Domain Names
Ok so this domain represents a real product being sold today
“3d Visualization Software”
http://www.google.com/search?q=%223d+Visualization+Software%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
If your US based if you go to Google you will see there are over 20,000 direct matches and there are three ads under the term and ads all down the side.
Now as far as shorter domains are better, yes and no.
If a product is 24 letters long than it is.
Can’t beat that for $10.
Another new and cheap acquisition:
3dprinters.tv
obviously .TV isn’t a great extension for this product but is worth a few bucks just for SEO cvalue
@Louise
I just look at what everyone is saying about “3D” via google realtime
Just seen this comment and it made me laugh, let me just say I hope all in Japan pull together and get through this bad time.
The comment was posted by someone on twitter –
“By the way, I feel guilty that one of the first concerns that popped up when I first heard about the quake was if my 3DS would be delayed…
Twitter – seconds ago”
Another classic via twitter
“The queue to demo the Nintendo #3DS is ridiculous! I don’t care. My sweaty, anticipating hands have been awaiting this moment.”

Hi Everyone,
If you’re still interested in getting your domains in the top secret 3D/hol0 Future Trend Domain Auction™, you can reach our site right now and more importantly:
SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER! We can reach you regardless of our domain sites being up or down. This is extremely important for you to test your domains out and see if 2011 is the “maturity” year for your domains.
It doesn’t cost you anything. If your domains are accepted into the auction (by a top auction site), you can then commit those domains if you want to that auction site’s efforts and reputation for 60 days. You are NOT locked into any agreement by just SUBMITTING your domains at successclick.com.
We anticipate that Embee will be participating in this auction, as we will be giving him first news as to the auction’s progress, at our ability to do so.
The best thing is this: You have Future Trend domains. Successclick is pushing hard to make those domain become mainstream new technology domains. The inspiration was created by EmBee’s article here. Neither EmBee nor myself are getting a commission percentage on any of your domains being sold.
This exercise is solely being created, and worked HARD to promote, in an effort to see where our Future Trend Domain Auction™ is being understood and enthusiastic from the online marketing directors of the companies who will benefit from owning the generic descriptive “natural” domains which will beat their competitors.
Whether end users (companies with relevant prodservs) understand this is up to them. It’s a hard road to hoe, and domain auctions much bigger than ours have tried for years to establish this connection.
The big test for all of us Future Trend domain buyers is: Will we stick together for ONE domain auction dedicated to attempting this achievement? If so, then subscribe to our newsletter, and submit your domains that are considered to be “Future Trends” (they do NOT have to be 3D/holo domains, they can be solar, robotics or other new technologies).
Thanks EmBee for allowing this post. If you have questions about why I am posting here, please email me, and i’ll give you the inside scoop.
cheers everyone! And don’t worry, most everyone who has submitted their Future Trend domains has at least one domain that may be accepted into the auction. You guys are smarter than the “DETRACTORS” have indicated.
cheers!
@ Stephen
How is gods name do you think a top secret auction is going to work? Where is the advertisement on the internet for this 3D domain auction? Im afraid to list my names only to see 0 bids, I had an auction site for cars not to long ago and believe me you can’t just throw this together, You need to advertise the hell out of this all over the internet, Radio etc. I really am afraid that 0 bids on all the listings will kill our momentum. We are about to pop big time this may be abit premature,
@ Stephen knows what he’s doing, and this auction will be phenom.
I used to enjoy coming here reading comments, but now it just makes me feel nauseous.
Just grabbed 3dOld.com to go with my 3dCum.com
This place is so dead! Nobody posts here on the weekend.
3dYawn.SO!
still some nice opportunities out there for 3d Printing names
… keep in mind – industry terminology… “3D Printing = 3DP”
… this term will also grow
just found a nice one – end user friendly with a lot of versatility
• 3DP1.com
.
.
i think 3DP1 is pretty tight… quite pleased with this one.
… which leads me to the overall landscape of four character 3d printing names
so here’s what i found – some freebies for anyone reading that may be interested.
… some of these could be a nice gig for the right person:
NLLN (8):
• 3DP2
• 3DP3
• 3DP5
• 3DP6
• 3DP7
• 3DP8
• 3DP9
• 3DP0
(no 4 ??… ? ‘4’ as in ‘FOR’?)
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
NLLL (1):
• 3DPZ.COM
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
LNLL (9):
• H3DP
• J3DP
• M3DP
• N3DP
• O3DP
• Q3DP
• T3DP
• X3DP
• Y3DP
and finally…
NNLL (5):
• 43DP.COM (this “4” sounds better… like – CALL “For 3D Printing”)
• 63DP.COM
• 73DP.COM
• 83DP.COM
• 03DP.COM
which means this post here should be the last of any possible four character “3DP” names available for reg fee.
.. njoy all 🙂
Y3DP could be a very nice site to build out with lots of information

…PRI?… what is that.. sorry if i am missing something at the moment
– – – – – – – –
as ofr 3DP in printing..
3DP can also equal ‘3D POWDER’
… there is different kinds of powder used to make these objects depending on the substance of what u r trying to recreate… or ‘clone’

@ 3D Domain Names
I was thinking more along the lines of an abreviation for printing /printers etc.
Just like tel for telecomms.
But Rhode Island, well…why not.
After reading numerous articles on ‘AR Games’ for mobile devices, thought id would reg this –

Hi Everybody! @ 3DDomainNames, you bring up good points, but before you launch into criticism – which is easy to do! – think, we have to support one another as a community within a community, that of future trend within domains, because people dealing traditional domains question the worth of “future trend,” let alone the outside world.
This is my niche. I’ve had the most fun I’ve ever had focusing in recent months on future trend. Not even the major ones, like people who comment here, but only ones that speak to me! Such as Mobile DTV. I’m 3DWinning! Two more sites in the can: mobileTech.tv and DualScreenLaptop.org. I need a break and crank out one more: BroadcastDTV to represent the DTV category, then I can promote the Emerging Domains . . . Hollywood – watch out! 🙂
So, however the auction turns out – because it’s the first of its kind – you can sparea few nice future trend from your reams of domains to show support and participate, like lots of people emailed me domains to list on EmergingDomains – thank you!
@Louise
you wrote:
“but before you launch into criticism… ” – ??
about what?
what is there to criticize about what you just wrote?

anyway..
… i added your emergingdomains.com name to my ‘links and resources’ page on my domainnames3d.com site… my DestinysWeb is back up now as well if you care to take a look at that (long story)
i also finally added you, BuyHoloGraphicTV.com as well
.. sorry for the delay.
i had a fairly big update on the site to do this weekend
.. lots of drops from last year
… obviously it sucks to lose money, but i’m pretty glad most of those names are finally removing themselves from my account – my portfolio is starting to look much more “crisp” and solid because of it….a couple more months of some ‘not so great names’ will also be falling soon so it should start to look even better
.. haha

@ domainnames3D, Sorry sorry sorry! It wasn’t you – I retract it! My comment was directed to DMPartners, and I get you two confused sometimes. My mistake – please forgive me! 🙂
Nice article about 3DBrowser comparison:

@ Louise
All I am saying is look around this site and what do you see? .co get yours today dreams are coming true. That’s pub for .co. Look at Stephen he has a top secret 3d future trend auction coming, I’m sorry top secret does not fly in my book. There is no date and no ads for this top secret auction. And that means there is no auction,
I’m not going to put up 3DPokerNetwork.com and watch it get 0 bids, That will bring that domain value down to you guessed it 0. I have been here longer than you supporting everyone and will continue. This top secret thing just does not sit well at all.
Lol, just been looking around on the internet and found a post i did on November 2010 saying how cool the 3d on mobiles will be plus how big the 3ds might be –
“3D in your pocket is going to be a fab thing, having 3d movies on the phone is only half of it, 3d camera,3d gaming and 3d web etc… will make up the other half. The 3ds has a screen the size of most Smartphones and is set for big things, only difference being the smartphone will be able to make calls (The only thing i think the 3ds cant do). 3D mobiles will be massive and cheaper to buy than the average £1000 3DTV, not everyone has that kind of money plus the additional 3d bluray player ( add another £250 to that total). Spending £200 (Or getting it FREE on contract) on a 3d Smartphone or a 3d console will allow everyone to afford a piece of 3D magic GLASSES FREE, come on, none believers beware”

James Cameron was very right that today we have three types of screens – mobile, computer and the big screen,” Mr Sultan said. “I’m talking about 3D as a completely new way of defining your experience with these screens.

In fact, the highest-bandwidth forms of Internet video (3D and HD) will increase 23-fold by 2014. By 2014, 3D and HD Internet video will comprise 46 percent of consumer Internet video traffic. In the United States, such metered billing remains a rarity …

heard a few rumors that the 3DS is heading for a US sellout.
DMPartners, I am just a simple person; don’t know too much about this business! All I know really is develop, rank in Google, and for the first time, I am going to try Adsense. But you can’t judge a thing until it has taken place, so you can withhold your public reservations, and email Stephen privately. He’s doing something for the community, and I support his effort.
Louise,
Keep fighting the good fight. I know from experience that the preditors and hacker/criminals that infest the internet will suffer at their own hands. You have a good spirit. Hard work and honesty will out. Thank you for your hard work.

@ MHB, 3DPrinters.tv is a great name! I am developing on dot tv – they seem to rank fine!
@3DConsole, thanx for GoogleRealtime heads-up – never knew it existed! You’re so smart to pick up 3D on mobile. That’s the theme of my future trend, but you got there first! After you posted about ARGames, I was looking for the link of an article that just came out about that. Can’t find it. But here is a photo outside the 3DS demo: http://www.examiner.com/la-console-game-in-los-angeles/nintendo-3ds-demo-pod-third-street-promenade-picture Here is a great Wall Street Journal interactive graphic of the Nintendo 3DS: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704005404576176821809754638.html
@ 3DDomainName, D3DPrinting – nice and short!
@ TrickytoBeat, you come up with the most interesting-sounding names! 3DNovelty makes sense, because 3D printing ones for the general public IS novelty.
@ DMPartners, Very, very interesting article about telco’s placing bandwidth caps! This is what my brother said: MOST people don’t exceed their bandwidth, but it’s a few who download audio and videos. The article seems to support that!
In view that Nintendo announced a 3D Video Channel for short movies/videos – reaching beyond gamers for the appeal of the Nintendo 3DS, people like me (I admit it sounds exciting!) – it looks like it’s going to be a showdown!

Because Stephen is bringing his own customers in, and thats. not. nothing.
@AmandaP
Thank you for your comments about the preparation of the very FIRST Future Trend Domain Auction™. Is it top secret for now? For creative business reasons it is meant to be, as you might expect. There are more than two possible domain auction services to work with, (we haven’t made our final decision) and also managing the time to prep it, promote it, and administrate it. Because of its unusual subject nature, the overwhelming interest outside the domain industry, some secrecy is required.
The reason why it was first announced was because I believed (and 100’s of others do too, including the author of this blog page, EmBee), that 3D and possibly other domains that are based on Future Trends may be maturing and could be valuable candidates for auctioning. Hence the first organizing of the auction event.
Anyone can enter the auction. There is no cost. There are no obligations to have your domains considered, no exclusivity if they aren’t. The purpose of this is to gather up and prepare the best possible domains for the auction. We expect the auction to be held within 60 days or less. This will be announced when confirmed. At this point, over 65 people have submitted over 500 domains, many of them very good, descriptive generics, which is exciting for anyone looking to invest in trending domains. We have an estimated 40-60 other contributers still coming in.
As a last note, Louise has no connection to the auction other than a participant and someone who helped keep our information posted while our servers were down. She kindly offered to help answer questions on her blog while we were still being asked for information through email and comments on other blog sites.
So, for your last comment — I can only say I’m not sure how Louise or myself benefit from being “in cahoots” with each other (whatever that means) accept hopefully getting our domains listed and sold. I get no commissions on domain sales from participants in this auction whatsoever.
My goal is to finally see a category of domain investment that I’ve believed in for over six years finally materialize, and hopefully see to it that everyone who participates comes away happy. Blame EmBee for pushing the button!
Hope that answers any questions about “secrecy” and limited announcements on the progress of the event. Thanks for understanding.
Rumors: HTC Shooter 3D Android Smartphone Already Tested And Arrive At Sprint Very Soon
@domainnames3d thaks for adding buyholographictv, I’ve added your site too.
@Louise that’s exciting news regarding the nintendo 3ds video streaming.
I have :
channel3d.com
live3dsport.com
live3dvideo.com
live3dstreaming.com
Regarding the value of 3d names at the moment and whether people will buy them – I don’t really care. As I’ve said, I make over $100 a day from my 3d names already. Any fool can see that 3D is not a fad, and is actually set to explode. And if they don’t, even the most retarded will in 2 weeks time when 3DS mania hits the highstreet.
Oh yes, forgot to add (for those of you have short attention spans, skip it, you aren’t in this game):
Michael “EmBee” Berkens started this rush to 3D/holo and Future Trend Domain Auction™ interest in July 2010. It wasn’t started by me or SuccessClick.com. The truth is that my normal reaction to anything EmBee posts is: READ IT. ACT ON IT, OR LIVE IN A CAVE. My wife won’t let me move ourselves into a cave, so I had to ACT.
EmBee isn’t stupid. He is one of the top 20 domainers in the world, and when he speaks, I listen, even though I’ve been in the business since 1998. Michael embraces NEW ideas, he’s not stuck in the past, and when he talks, he doesn’t polarize people. His old school experience coupled with his seemingly youthful countenance, excites his readers. This isn’t just me talking, I’m just showing the proof in the pudding. Read on…
BLAST PARAGRAPH: The 3D blog article Michael Berkens posted has reached such an INCREDIBLE, over-the-top response, it has ECLIPSED every other topic EVER discussed in the domain industry. Period. No subject about domains has ever surpassed EmBee’s surprising article, which put some big players on the spot. (uh oh).
NOTHING, including announcements of new extensions, a new domain conference, ICANN decisions, a few domain company scandals (unfortunately connected to one company), or whatever topic you wish to choose, has surpassed EmBee’s remarkable blog post on 3D domains only 9 months ago. AMAZINGLY, IT HASN’T EVEN BEEN A YEAR since EmBee chose to ruffle feathers and stir up a whole new market of domaining interest with his blog post on 3D.
To have over more than TWO THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY (2,250) comments on one blog article is a secret dream that other bloggers (not just domain bloggers) WISH they could obtain. Not ONE of all the domain “expert” bloggers we all know has even 25% of the response EmBee has about this subject on any of their posts, including myself.
Unfortunately for all us domain bloggers, this won’t happen again for many years. I anticipated this back in 2004 when I first started buying Future Trend domains. Sadly for me, I failed to announce my opinion on my SuccessClick.com blog before EmBee did. That was the big surprise for me, because I didn’t think this category was in his radar.
Bottom Line: Future Trend Domains are investing in domain you don’t understand until you research them… and that feels good when you discover they have a big future and you only paid $8 for it.
credit due where credit is due
we all embee immensly for his contributions here also stephen has worked hard and has taken this onboard take a thought about these guys reps for just a minute sit back and contemplate why they are respected.
also another unsung hero in all this
jv aka 3ddomainnames
he started one of the if not biggest threads running at digitalpoint well over a year ago on this very subject he had the hindsight well before many here and tbh a lot here followed into this because of that very thread its been a long road for everyone so dont forget the players that made this happen.
jv has taken some amount of critisicm over the last year and now it seems those people have faded into the mist no longer making the comments they did
why ?
because they now realise they made a mistake
so to jv,embee and stephen respect goes out from my corner to you guys 🙂
100 3D Channels by 2015
There will be more than 100 3D TV channels worldwide by 2015, predicts research firm In-Stat, including both pay-TV video-on-demand options, as will as linear channels.
Already, 3D TV channels have launched in North America, Europe, and Asia, with more planned for this year.
“Pay-TV providers around the globe who have HD systems in place have jumped on the 3D content being made available to them at a faster rate than many had expected,” says Michelle Abraham, Principal Analyst. “Many took advantage of the World Cup 3D coverage to test transmission of 3D over their networks, and some of them have now launched transmission of regular 3D TV channels.
“The competitive nature of pay-TV,” she continues, “ensures that once one pay-TV distributor in a country is offering 3D, the others need to be fast followers unless they want to lose their top-tier customers.”
Live event coverage in 3D, forecasts In-Stat, will grow this year, but will remain challenging to achieve. The most likely initial growth areas for 3D content include sports, movies, documentaries, and music channels. As the costs to reproduce in 3D decline over time, says In-Stat, 3D content production will grow more quickly.
Thus far, Europe holds the largest number of 3D channels
What do people think of You3d.com ? Just grabbed it for $75.

comment?
Just read a fascinating article on the owner of this blog : http://www.dnjournal.com/cover/2009/july.htm
Interesting that he started off with adult domains and the live webcam chat niche.
And still own a few thousands adult domains.

@IPTV 3D
When 3D phones come out this name would be great for uploading your 3d pics and video footage, I see great potential, alternative to youtube3d.
hey guys, been following this tread for last 6 months, is great to hear peoples views an enthusiasm re the 3D niche, hopefully is going to keep powering on, come on 3D glasses free 3d tvs I say!
I have around 100 3D based keyword domains and finally launched the first of these last week
This site being http://www.3dphonereview.com
I designed and built myself in my spare time at work, so from here am hoping to expand this to be a network of 3D sites over the next year.
Still a bit to do on the site, is still in development, but is now live and rating really well for the main keywords I am chasing.
What do you guys think?
If anybody has any comments or interested swapping links with this site let me know 🙂
cheers mike
@ 3d console
ok i understand 🙂
@ michael
nice clean site you have there 🙂
National CineMedia Up for Deals With Screenvision, NFL
CEO Kurt Hall also predicts that 3D ad revenue will double this year.
Discussing 3D ads in movie theaters, Hall said they command premium prices that are 50 percent to 100 percent above regular prices, which means higher margins. And 3D ad revenue will keep growing, but growth will take more time as creatives slowly become acquainted with 3D, he said.
For this year, he predicted National CineMedia will see twice as much 3D ad revenue as last year, but emphasized it is still “a small number.”
@ Michael, looking good! Would you make one like that for me, and add the articles, too? That’s development!
@ 3DConsole, your site is getting richer! I like the new logo. Check out 3DConsole’s video page – comprehensive video samples of Nintendo 3DS games! It loads super fast – what changes did you make? 🙂
Channel3D, oh yeah – I listed Channel3D on EmergingDomain, along with several of your domains.
@ 5G, said “credit due where credit is due we all [thank] embee immensly for his contributions here also stephen has worked hard . . . ” Ditto that @5G!!!
@Louise
Thanks, just changed the look really and added some videos. As Im new to making websites Im just trying to find my feet and have a bit of fun, not sure its a ground breaking site but i love messing about. Cheers for feedback aswell.
@Louise
Just added your EmergingDomains.com to my links page! If anyone else wants to go on then drop me an email with your site. Cheers

@iptv You3D.com is probably the first brandable name I’ve bought without a direct name match product or service to sell. I was a little unsure before I decided to grab it, but it makes sense to me. Thanks for the heads up regarding Andrew Mahon, hopefully the name isn’t breaking any trademark.
I cannot believe all the comments this topic has received…I guess we will have to wait and see how it all pans out as I own 3dAdagencies.com, 3dComputerapps.com, IPTVproducts.com, and IPTVaccessories.com…

I really like your emerging domains site.
I just looked at it for the first time tonight and I have to say that I really like the perspective you have taken.
I think things will only get better as they has out standards amongst the 3D world.
What is your opinion on the domain name:
Touch Table PCs (dot) COM
I know Microsoft has out their “Surface” PCs and it is my opinion that this fits along those lines. Just wanted to see what your thoughts where on this.
*sorry for taking this off the 3D subject*.
Cheers
It’s official. I have gone over the edge with 3d, my god.

@3DConsole, your content is fitting for the quality of your domain – it’s encouraging! Good going! Thanx for the link! @Everyone, Your sites are impressive!
@ Michael, added your 3DPhoneReview! Are you the Michael with the “cloud” domains? Send them over. @Slate, thanx for positive feedback – Touch Table PCs (dot) COM is on there.
So far, EmergingDomains is accessible from eBay, if you type, “cloud domains” in the search.
@trickytobeat, it’s official. Only, it might really be valuable some day – how did it go with 3DMechanic? Did you finalize the deal? It’s not as over the edge as 3DWinning MY latest over the edge!
Here is inside word on Sprint’s planned announcement: Sprint’s CTIA announcements: HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO View 4G, Motorola XOOM, much more. It mentions, ” a Blockbuster 3D on demand app” besides Youtube 3D and the ability to shoot 3D video – fancy! 🙂
Future trend auction is @Stephen’s baby. It won’t be surprising to see some firms try to muscle in and break down our community by getting commitments for other future trend auctions, but . . .
My sole auction of choice will be the one Stephen Douglas oversees; further, I asked Stephen to broker my names if I get any inquiries. He charges low % – less than 20% – to broker from forwarded inquiries, on EmergingDomains. I don’t know business, I only know intuition.
‘Morning… I’ve been reading your posts, and needless to say, it could get “UGLY” at renewal time…$$ But, always the possibility of somebody holding a goldmine of, a domain name…! I have 3D-CLOUD.COM, MYSTORE-3D.COM, NOW-IN3D.COM, and more heading for sale… Not looking for auction money, but will entertain offers on a email basis… currently holding alittle ove 800 domains with GoDaddy, & other registration functions… Wish you all the best, but it true… Tenets pilnser, is still not suitable for the working man…Ha Ha! P.S. Contrary to web-education, the hyphen-sign is just fine…$

3DHONGKONG.COM
Been reg’d since Feb 2008.
I’ve been busily building up a portfolio of 3d printing related domains, my most recent being:
Largescale3dprinting.com
Largescale3dprinter/s.com
Largescale3dp.com
Largescale because houses, cars and aeroplane parts are starting to be developed in this way.
@3D Console
good adult names. Unfortunately ICAAN approved the .XXX tld last week. Of course, nobody knows what this means yet, but in the long term, it’s unlikely to be good for adult .coms Things like governments forcing all porn off of .coms might not happen for a few years, but I’m suddenly questioning why I bought up over 100 adult holo names.
@ Buy Holographic Tv
I know mate, is it porn businesses that can only have .xxx though? Does this mean a two tier system? Im not gonna loose any sleep over it, I only have 4 adult names now and paid peanuts for them anyway, i would be more worried if i had sex.com.
Wow! DualScreenApp dot com is page 1 of Google – better work on that one!
Got in good with Dual screen:
DualScreenLaptop dot org
DualScreenPhones dot com
DualScreenComputer dot com
DualScreenSoftware dot com
LaptopDualScreen dot com
DualScreen3D dot com
So far, only dual screen laptop gets major searches. Look at the dot com and dot net – mine is going to sail past them!
That’s what is exciting about future trend, to the extent we develop, it increases the value of the domain to rank high already for the term, and you have a chance . . . Thank you, Stephen! 🙂

Which one is better –
3DTV.COM
3DTVS.COM
….and why
3DTV.com is much better, it not just a physical product but also describes the service, like you can say “ESPN are broadcasting 3D TV”, or “3D TV has finally become mainstream”, its referring to the service rather that an actual television..you get the idea I’m sure…
3DTVS.com – 3D TV’s is the correct way to type it so its not grammatically correct either and just looks a little awkward to me. This is a not a name I would rush after to be honest, I think there are better names out there. (out of my price range lol)
Just my opinion of course
3dtv.com – It is more generic..Better 3dtv can be a network it could be selling 3d tvs 3dtvs.com is what it is..tv’s
Cheers Giles and DMPartners, you have me thinking now!!!
Would just like to show everyone this ive just found, one of the best write up’s ive seen on 3D for a while and pretty much spot on.

3Dphone.com is better because its more universal
………and for the second one 3dtv.com
Just received our first inquiry for one of our domains. Finally .
yoga3d.com is of interest, What do you think a fair price is gentleman and ladies?
@ MHB, that was interesting. Stands to reason viewers want seemless viewing from the television to a snack run, and socializing with everyone else. Still, ESPN is broadcasting sports 3D, which Hot.net.il in Israel will become its distributor there: http://www.hot.net.il/heb/Main
HGPortfolio, Nice article! 🙂
What do you guys think about my http://BroadcastDTV.com site? Mobile TV is on!
Hey guys, not sure if you all got to see this, but I have been working flat out to get my 3d phone site up and going, is really interesting watching the search terms via webmaster tools, eg 3d phone vs 3d mobile vs 3d android etc, 3d phone seems to be the most relevant re traffic for my site http://www.3dphonereview.com
Also have set up a facebook page if anybody wants to say hi
am trying to build a bit of a community around the 3d Phone, is exciting stuff 🙂
If anybody has any ideas to improve the site, please let me know, cheers
@ Michael, looking good! Would you make one like that for me, and add the articles, too? That’s development! Added your 3DPhoneReview to EmergingDomains! Are you the Michael with the “cloud” domains? Send them over.
Thanks louise, yes the same guy with the cloud domains, I have over 650 tech domains from smart tvs, internet tv, to 3d gaming, 3d phones, 3d tvs, cloud computing hosting etc etc, my plan is to build a huge network of tech domains, all keyword based and basically swamp the market, based off this template / layout. have spent 8 months and a lot of money testing different options / templates and feel this is the cleanest so far.
Ive had that q a few times already and its just a time issue re building sites for existing clients, yes I am a web / graphic designer but totally swamped with work both private and this project. I am building a team of quality writers and seo guys and developers at the moment, so may be able to offer these services soon.
But I would like to off load a few domains I own, so will try and contact you to discuss directly, eg get an idea as to the market, don’t want to let the good ones go yet 🙂 cheers
We bagged the elephant,,
@ mhb
interesting you took 3dprinters.tv
makes me feel a little bit more optimistic with declining a $150 offer on 3dprinters.info which i had no intention of taking i would rather sit it out with this over time even in .info $150 i can handle losing out on 🙂
3D printing services is gathering pace now glad i snapped up all i could there before everyone else jumped on 3d printing after that 3dprinting.com sale 🙂
got to say though the ultimate gems in my printing names are
Bio3DPrinting.com
Bio3DPrinter.com
still love em
seeing a lot of different views now on .co 3d domains when i regged these not one person thought it was a good investment now i am seeing peoples views change on .co and 3d
anyone care to comment on the list below ?
3DScanning.co
3DRendering.co
3DModeling.co
3Ddating.co
3DHawaii.co
3Dxxx.co
3DAdvertising.co
3DMobiles.co
3DSPORTS.CO
3DEvents.CO
3DAuto.co
3D-Video.CO

Ask Stephan Douglas what he thinks of 3Dadvertising.co I would not touch a .co if it were free, There will be a huge battle with these. How they ever got released is beyond me. Whats next .ne and .or how about .c?
@5G
Im still up in the air with .co and 3d, maybe when we have more decent sales with the .com and 3d it might then filter into .co with 3d. I only have two domains, 3dsmartphone.co and 3dsmartphones.co , thanks to JV. You look like you have some decent names, i like – 3dxxx.co, 3dmobiles.co and 3dadvertising.co best.
3djewelryprinter.com
jewelry3dprinter.com
@5G
A domainer after my own heart! Great names. Today I registered 3DP.asia, not the greatest extension but as an abbreviation of 3d printing, it might pay off in the long run.
tbh if i dont have the .com or i cant get it i would rather have it in .co as long as it fits the extension over
.net
.info
.org
etc these all have their places set whereas
.co
is still finding its feet some of the names sold you wouldnt dream of getting the same amount in any other extension other than the .com always thought it was worth riding it out on this one whether it will go well remains to be seen appreciate the comments
@ DM PARTNERS
huge battles ?
not really only blatent registered domains in .co will see this happen and thats understandable can you really see someone contesting lets say 3dsports.co ?
if i had nike.co or reebok.co then i would agree
none of the above are blatent trademark infringements or otherwise
Nice one available over at go-daddy, expired and ready for a pick up –
BUY3DDOMAINS.COM
Not had a name change for a while now, though i dont have a website on it I feel the time is right.

We all like money and no matter how much we have we all could do with more,3D domains are being snapped up at alarming rates and the registrations that are happening are bordering on ludicrous there is a huge market for some names but let me tell you now unless you buy on the aftermarket your chance of hand regging now and making a tidy profit is very slim.
I am not going to shout what names are bad out of respect to some although it did enter my mind to help stop the crazy regs we are seeing,My advice is dont go regging long tailed pointless or otherwise names one after another,source out a decent strong name with potential and buy that theres a lot of domainers out there holding names that are gold and they are just looking to make some easy cash buy from them hold for another year or two and sell once 3d becomes more mainstream and in demand then profit.Some of the .com regs i have seen on forums etc wow i would rather have my .info collection any day
Do some research whats buzzing look beyond 3dtv dont bother with that thats done and dusted when it comes to domains and you wont pick one up cheap unless you are very lucky.
look at
products
medical
adult – although .xxx may be on its way i wouldnt worry too much
scanning
printing/printers – although this is getting a bit crowded now because of 3dprinting.com selling for a decent five figure sum
rendering
to name a few
This was supposed to a very long post on this subject but thinking about all the bad regs has taken the oomph out me and making me depressed to keep writing so i guess i will leave it there.
Guys heed the advice you have been given stop regging obscure domains and look at whats out there if you want a gem i can tell you its regged and out there waiting on you.
@5G,
Nice list of names – .co rocks!
@5G
Go on my son, get it off ya chest!!
95% of all domains sold at auction on any auction site are .com
YOU KNOW THIS!! anything not .com or at the very least .net are “pigeon droppings” as so eliquently put by the king.
How can you @5G, with a straight face, two posted down from posting several .co domains, state that all hand regs are worthless here on out.
ALL DOMAINS START AS A “HAND-REG.”
wake up.!!!
ah-winning-duh!! .co lol
@ tricky
read my post again
when the hell did i say all hand regs are worthless
man get a grip look around the net the more bad regs the more everyone looks like a fool to the point where i just wish i could go back right to the start and delete every comment i have ever made about 3d on the net
its embarrassing to watch
m8 its you that needs the wake up call here do you really think all these mad regs are doing anyone any good ?
“95% of all domains sold at auction on any auction site are .com”
maybe they are worth buying whats the point of having a portfolio of lets say 200 names that nobody will ever buy when you can have one or two names that will thats my point here !
what i said was in everyones interest
i bet in 3d domains i have made more from .info sales than you have in .com so dont lecture or !!! at me
oh yeh i am getting it off my chest now stu 🙂
ataboy
Hey dad, dmpartners
how’s it smell in here?
to smart for all of this aren’t you?
hey, covet this…
insular, mean spirited and angry monitor dwellers pissing….
oh … .com
Just received an insult offer on one of ours. This person gave the same old BS line I intend to use it for a personal project when in fact he was going to sell a DVD or games on it bringing in millions. Next time I get an offer our answer is going to be simple, Our 3D.com domains have an asking price of 6 figures and above, Please submit your offer Once reviewed you will be contacted if we are interested, No more BS games from these lairs,
trickytobeat had an offer on his 3DMechanic – one I never would have thought of! – so I learned I can’t comment on other people’s choices. What happened with that deal, trickytobeat? @5G, 3Dwinning dot com – I admit it! I’ll be the one to take the rap. It’s what you believe in . . . it’s impressive to slap a site on one you believe in. Not only is it convincing to a potential buyer, but to further the industry! I emailed a congrats to one of the scientists who developed THE FIRST 3D Antenna printing process, and she emailed me back! It’s on my site, MobileTech dot tv. Maybe I can interview her one of these days . . .
@ 3DPhoneReview, if you send my your list at louise [at] emergingdomains I can post it tonight. Tomorrow, EmergingDomains logo will be page 1 of eBay, as my offer expires: enter “cloud domains” into search bar.
@ dm
cheer up m8 if thats the worst insult you get in the domaining world your lucky 🙂
wait untill you get one of the serious abusive ones 🙂
Nearly 30 3D PS3 games by the end of 2011
Sony plans to have almost 30 3D PS3 games on the market by the end of 2011.
The company posted a graphic on the PlayStation Blog highlighting some of the big 3D content – games and other media – making its way to the system later this year, including Uncharted 3, SOCOM 4 and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One.
@ louise
my comments tbh were not at you please dont take any offence i was generalising
I’m going to step forward and say I have a pile of silly domain names. Maybe some jewels in there, hopefully! Stephen D. to the rescue!
I’m going to say its to early for a 3D auction. After the joke I just went through I don’t see anyone paying anything big for our gold
Thank you for the mention of 3DMechanic.com Louise.
The same as dmpartners’, the offer of $100.00 for 3DMechanic was made with an “ah shucks” bs story about how his nickname is 3DMechanic and how he just wants to use the domain for a personal site.
I thanked him for the offer and his interest and said “no.”
He came back with an apology and then an insult. I thanked his again.
I have to confess at being a relative newcomer to the domaining business, however I have been in business for myself for 25years as a magazine/trade magazine publisher. I have sold advertising for almost 3o years. That said, I have learned a great deal in a very short time due the open and frank discussions here.
I must thank all that have so generously offered encouragement and criticism on this and other blogs and message boards.
I look forward to hearing from one of the contributors here of a substantial sale of one of the domains secured from information and inspiration taken from this “Emerging Domain” review.
Just reg’d
HoloArtist.com
……Just noticed that 3DTelevision.biz is available to reg, not getting it myself cause I dont like the .biz
Holo-tv.de just sold on sedo for £360 with 19 bids. Also holoconsole.com has a few hours left and is at £80.
@HGportfolio
Holo-tv.de for £360 , the buyer had a good deal with that. I wonder how much Holotv.com is worth……
Ive had a sneaky offer on my Holo.co.uk as well, I think people are starting to warm to holo domains and its only gonna get better.
Wonder what i could get for my Holotv.us, does the .us kill it? I suppose 3dtv.us would fetch a bit though, might be a hold on that one.
just regd 3d-d.de (d for drucker, german for printer) this morning.
i3dp.de is available
trickytobeat
@infiltrant
3d-d.de: Could be an astute move, Germany seems to love the hyphen.
If anyone’s brave enough, 3DP.com is for sale on sedo with an asking price of $10,000. Could end up being as valuable as 3dprinting.com.

I have just been to Toys R Us and played on a 3DS for 10 minutes and now I know what the fuss is all about, OMG!

@MHB, that is a nice article. It is a summary of where we are with the mobile explosion, and the interest in 3D. As stated in previous articles linked to, 3D is looking good in the handheld department, not in homes, though there are now a couple glasses-free PCs.

Nice domain mate, i picked up the 3dTablets.net a couple of weeks ago.
Just made me laugh a comment on twitter –
No eye troubles with the 3DS so far. Except, when I look at 2D monitors now, my head tries to process it as a 3D image
bodylotion.com
What do you think it’s worth? I have a friend who owns it and he wants me to sell it for him.
I would hazard to say that you could possibly make a nice penny off that name.
Exact hits (according to Google) is a little under 10k per month with a CPC of $2.47.
There is a definite market for the name. All the major cosmetic companies have the top spots for the key words Body Lotion. I dont know prices that well but I would assume that you could get quite a bit for this name.
Cheers
Thanks Slate
incredible – testauction123.com just sold on Bido for $180000.00
Is there a chance that this is a farce?
Hi, Why not offer BodyLotion to Amazon? It looks like a fit with Quidsi’s Diapers.com, Soap.com and BeautyBar.com, which Amazon purchased for a cool half billion cash!
By Scott Morrison
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
SAN FRANCISCO (DOW JONES) –Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) has received regulatory approval for its $500 million acquisition of Quidsi Inc., the company said in a regulatory filing Thursday.
The acquisition of Quidsi, which operates Diapers.com, Soap.com and BeautyBar.com, will enable Amazon to better compete with brick-and-mortar chains like Target Corp. (TGT) and Wal-Mart Stores Inc.(WMT) that sell a broad range of consumer staples.
Amazon announced the acquisition, which also includes the assumption of $45 million in debt, last October. Amazon said it expects the deal to close on or about April 1, 2011.
Shares in Amazon closed up 3.5% at 171.10 on Thursday.

@HGportfolio
“has any domain investor ever made significant profits from buying into future technologies”
Sure, but to make real money in any future technology you need to be at the leading edge, that is why the true top tier 3D domains were registered years ago.
Following the crowd normally doesn’t make money, it just gets you a good view of someone’s ass.

http://www.dexigner.com/news/22673
It’s coming, folks. The deal is made. It’s on paper, and it will be worldwide. We hope to set a standard in this space. You will have responsibilities to your domains. You will be forced to stand up straight and not act like you’re in kindergarten. Your comments here and on any public forum will have to be relevant, polite, and not demeaning to other domainers. You will avoid personal attacks. You will SUPPORT every domainer who is promoting their FT domains, or the FT auction in general. You will not expect to become rich from your domains.
In other words: The first ever “Future Trend Domain Auction™” is on.
Stay tuned for all info. EmBee will be the first outside news source for the auction. Successclick.com will be the main source for info and initial entry submissions for your domains.
There are no promises, no “pie in the sky” crap. Either our FT domains have matured or they haven’t. Prices paid for those domains you have up for auction will dictate how far FT domains have come, and how far they are expected to go. Remember, if you have a premium domain that is killer and it fall in the FT domain space, set your reserve high and stick to it. If you’re testing the waters, lower your reserve to see what kind of fish will bite.
As always, kudos to Embee, and if you have questions, successclick.com is here to help. Stay tuned!
(thanks EmBee!)
Nintendo projects that it will sell 4 million 3DS units this month, and many analysts agree. The system was released in Japan last month and in parts of Europe on Friday. Nintendo sold 47 million units of the DS line of systems, which all have two screens, with one being a touchscreen.
Thank you Nintendo this is the kick in the ass we needed

Well done. I missed the boat on smartphones.
I have hand registered over 250 FT domains in the last month. Fatique is setting in. I must now develop, however, I have very little experience in site development. How best to start?
I registerd these five domains:
Phaseogram.com
Phaseographic.com

@infilrant
yes its hard to stop when you start hey, is easy to burn a hole in your wallet, and even if you think you have the best domains in the world you still have to find a buyer with a year, or you will be stuck with them. I have over 650 domains some of which still amaze me, but unless you dev them, its hard to get them found on auction sites such as sedo, are you using Market Samuri to check traffic stats, or is this a way future tech, I haven’t heard about Phase-?
@ 3dDomainNames
Thank you. I have bookmarked DesignCompany.co.
I will contact you in the near future. I have a couple of gems that are calling out to be developed, thank you.

Thank you. I hadn’t heard of Market Samuri. It will be interesting to find out traffic stats of my domains.
In reading on holographic memory I came across the term phase with reference to lasers. Laser phase duration and stability are essential somehow, I don’t know really. I just got creative with the wore phase, lol, sheesh, someone hit me.

@Giles and @trickytobeat, you’re next!
@3DPad, thanx – I listed several of your sites in different categories. Please link back to Emerging. Nice job on the 3DTouch domains! You should submit them to the auction. You may download the form from EmergingDomains dot com™.
My artist Ioana and I are building out another domains showcase to offer for sale to premium domain holders – I’ll announce it here before we list it at Flippa!

To be honest…I dont like it at all, its far too long and a lot of people wont even spell it correctly if they typed it in their browser
Stick with she short terms if you can
I registered only ten new domains in the last 30 days – I’m being cured! Putting on the developer hat instead of going beserk!
@Giles Thanks, I see what you mean but I thought it was worth a gamble. If there’s no search traffic in the next year I’ll just drop them.
@Louise Yea, me too. Going to try to avoid buying any more domains this month, unless I see a super one on the drop. I have around 200 holo names coming up for renewal in June/July. I have far too many domains already that I can ever hope to develop.

The winner, one of the Best 3D domains is 3DPHONE.COM at this moment !!!!
@Dan
There is no way 3DPhone.com is better than 3DTV.com
That is just article and one person’s opinion on the matter. People would much prefer watching 3D on the cinema first,. then TV and then phones etc…the bigger the better with 3D and thats the way it will stay. I am not saying 3D phones wont sell, they will because of the vanity factor and the “I have to own one of those” factor…but lets be serious, how spectacular can 3D be in a tiny screen in the palm of your hand…it’s more the novelty and once that wears off, the hype will slow down a bit in this area
I have some 3D phone names myself so I do believe there is potential in this area, but it wont be as big as 3D TV, gaming, movies, cinema, sports, porn etc
Gaming will be the biggest mover in this industry but not on small consoles like the 3DS, it will be big at home on peoples home cinemas and projectors.
Just my opinion folks
Just wondering if anybody saw this video, it came out in Nov.21010 and I here alot of stars are considering these type of concerts in the near future.
I registered ..Holographic Touring.com Hopefully thats a good name for these type of gigs.
Check it out it’s pretty cool.

“I have some 3D phone names myself so I do believe there is potential in this area, but it wont be as big as 3D TV, gaming, movies, cinema, sports, porn etc”
You will have 3D TV, 3D Gaming, 3D Movies, 3D Sport and 3D Porn on a mobile phone.
I know 3D Tv is better than 3D Phone at this point and because 3D TV has been out for over a year than this has an unfair advantage. Go back a year and put 3D TV and a 3D Phone out at the same time, I wouldnt like to say what would sell best, a lot of people would buy both products. What do you think is the biggest lucrative market Giles, 1. TV Market or 2. Mobile Market ???? 3D on a mobile device will not be a novelty, more like a game changer. Only my opinion!
…………Also 3DS = Game Changer as well!
@3DSmartphone.com
I dont think its about any “unfair advantage”…its about the visual experience and how good it is. I have had a look at the 3DS and the 3D phones and it looks ok, but its certainly like going to the cinema and watching a movie on the big screen where you go WOW because of all the things jumping out the screen at you. Its just not the same visual experience. People will buy them because they now have a “3D PHONE”??
I mean, who has been and seen them or played with them and honestly said “Wow thats incredible”…be honest here people..
The best names (in my opinion) will allow you to comfortably use many different 3D topics under one domain.
What I mean by that is this. 3D.com is the ultimate domain name, not just because its only 2 letters but more importantly *ANY* 3D subject can be covered by this one domain name.
That one domain can cover 3D movies, 3D phones, 3D games, 3D software, 3D sports and more. Anything and everything 3D. In my opinion the “Genericness” (if that is a word) is what makes the domain so attractive.
3D Phones.com would be a great domain as well because it can over anything pertaining to 3D phones and there is speculation that the market will be huge.
Same with 3D movies, 3D advertising, 3Dtv… so on and so forth.
Great domain names and they are generic for their given topic.
It is in my opinion that when you are looking at domain names, the more areas that a single domain name can cover (comfortably) the more value that domain name brings.
I think out of 3DTV and 3DPhone, they will both be around the same. 3D TV can legitimately cover anything that happens with 3D TVs to include television stations, TV channels, 3D Sports, 3D Glasses (for now)…. and a few other areas. It makes that domain worth quite a bit, not to mentions that it is a 4 character domain name.
3D Phone will also be great. It covers all cell phone areas to include software download. It can also include teleconferencing in 3D (if that has been developed yet??).
Anyways, I think both of those domains are equal when compared to each other.
Just my opinion. I could be completely off base… but its just my opinion.
Cheers
@ Buy Holographic TV, you always do well no matter what, and those domains sound fine, but you forgot to register —player!
@3DSmartphone & @Slate, is that really your name? Slate? Glad you’re both online. Do you two want to collaborate on a website my artist and I are collaborating on for a flip once its done, which domain I registered this morning, 3DSLaunchTitles dot com? Plus I registered the co uk, and 3DSSpiele dot com, to put them on different servers, and translate the German one, and sell it as a pack, for 20% each?
@Giles
How can it be about the “visual experience” when both products are different. 3D on phones will bring the fun element of 3D to the table, recording 3d footage, taking 3d photos plus being able to watch 3d movies, 3d porn, 3d sport on the go ( your journey) and it also doesnt require you to sit in a room with sunglasses on. On the other hand, 3D TV is excellent “visual experience” ( Cinema even better) in your home, bringing 3D Movies into your living room floor plus the experience will look a lot better than on a phone. Two different match ups in my opinion, the novelty factor can also wear off on both phones and tvs, on both bits of tech there is a button that switches off the 3d so the novelty of owning a must have 3D Phone or a must have 3D TV might wear off. But the 3DS is breaking all kind of records on the selling front and yes some people have headaches just like they do with 3DTV,( I think its being reported that less than 1% of the people who have it get headaches) . And for people saying “Wow thats incredible” about the 3DS , Ive not heard anyone say that about a 3DTV either!.
@Stu
You make some good points however…
My point is 3D on small little screen is nowhere near as spectacular as a watching it on a big screen. I have had a look at the small screens and sure they are 3D, but compared to big screen TV’s or Cinema, they look gimmicky to me.
Have a look at the reviews on 3D television and you will see what people say about it. Here in Oz, they reviews have been great and although the sales are not huge yet, that is mainly due to the crazy prices and lack of content.
The comments you see on the 3DS or phones will mainly the avid gamers and kids/teenagers, but for the people who really appreciate 3D, the big screens is how they want to watch it.
Just my opinion again..
@Giles
go look up ‘Pico Projector’
soon enough, these little phones will be used as 3d projector’s
🙂
**if that link went wrong, please try this one:
University scientists create 3D-printed insect wings
http://www.3dscanningservices.net/News/University%20scientists%20create%203D-printed%20insect%20wings
3dmobile.com
i would say is better than
3dphone.com
purely because a phone is what it is
“mobile” can be used for anything thats “3d” and “mobile” from phones to 3ds can be covered all on one site and anything else released in the future thats “mobile”
not restricted as much as with the other name
just my opinion
saying this i did pick up 3-dphone.com but i have other “mobile” names also
@3DDomainnames
I have see those mate, but you will have a lot of renewals before that is common. If you have the premium names in the that area, then thats fine, hold onto them for a few years, but that is going to be while yet, there are 3D areas that are a lot closer and should probably be focused on at the moment
You say these “little phones” from what I have read about them, these are just projectors, not phones…they could be integrated into phones I’m sure, but at the moment, I believe they are just mini-projectors
Good luck all
@3dc
I agree with you on that, I think the “mobile” angle will better than the “phone” angle, mainly because as you say, it can refer to to mobile phones, as well any any other mobile devices and gadgets (thats why I am holding 3D-Mobiles.com)
What are you thoughts on this Stu and 3DDomainnanmes, which is better out of these 2 names
3D-Mobiles.com
3D-Phones.com
@giles
pico projector’s are working their way into phones as we speak. Integration is already being worked on…. this is not as far as away as you think – they have gotten considerably smaller – and closer.
– – – –
3d-mobiles, i don’t like the ‘s’ with mobile here at all – changes the entire context of the word
so i would say 3d-phones by a landslide
🙂
@Giles
Fair play mate, I know 3D Tv is good and makes money, so will 3d phones even if it doesn’t offer a social experience like you get at the cinema. I also think that 3d phones will appeal to everyone ( not like the 3DS) because everyone needs a phone, not necessarily a 3d phone but people tend to change their phones every 12 – 18 months for a newer model, If all the newer models coming out have 3d then this will be a natural passover to the technology. When people buy a new tv its different, they don’t usually change their tv’s every 12 months, people tend to stick with it for 2-4 years then change, this will make the 3D Mobile market a lot bigger than the 3D Tv market. Again this is only my opinion and I might have this totally wrong!
I own:
Phones3d.com
3dphonestore.com
3d-phones.net
Hoping something good will come of them some day!
@3dDomainNames
I dont think it changes the context at all, Phones are called “mobiles” in a lot of countries, not Cell phones like in the US…if anything it broadens it to a wider variety of devices, you can add any 3D device that you can carry, like phones, portable DVD players for your car, 3DS as well as the other 3D mobile gaming consoles coming out
The thing with 3D-Phones is it can only refer to 3D Phones and if that doesn’t catch on, then the name is kind of limited
Appreciate the opinions though guys/gals
I imagine once 3d phones hit the shops and your friends suddenly start showing theirs off its going to make your 2d phone look suddenly very out of date….
@3dC
.. i agree completely as well
… mobile rules the roost here
also fits nicely both front and back (3dMobile or Mobile3d)
– – – – –
@HGportfolio
nice job on Phones3d.com (the .net dropped a couple of weeks ago – i caught it – was that yours ?.. if so .. thank you 🙂
– – – – – – –
@Stu
the biggest problems i see with 3d ‘phone’ domains is…
people are pretty much going to be looking at carrier sites for their final purchase…
i mean… if everyone is going to be offering 3dsmartphones – then it’s going to really only come down to who is offering the best service plan- verizon, at&t, sprint..etc…
.. and once the iphone includes ‘3d’ into one of their next press releases, all anyone is going to be talking about is the ‘iphone with 3d’ – not
same thing with 3dconsole for that matter (sorry stu)
… who else makes consoles outside of the big three? seriously? .. if you built a site for 3dconsole.com right now – a serious site – what would it be?
how many products would you be selling as an affiliate or drop shipper?.. three?… PS3 / xbox / nintendo?
just some food for thought
– – – – – –
@Giles
… 3dMobiles (with the S) – to me anyway – only speaks of phones, so it’s no different , versatility wise as 3d Phones… just more… ‘odd’
and really giles… MobileS??
..”i need to grab some MOBILES”?
“Hey everybody, come shop at our store – we Sell MOBILES??”
“Get Your MO:BILES Here”
haha
who says that?..
don’t let the stats fool you
i see the 60,000 global searches too
.. BUT…
.. ‘MobileS’ actually refers to a baby item… like ‘Baby Mobiles’
… i think you’re way off on the ‘MobileS’ thing man
Once the first two 3d phones arrive on the market, the phone companies are going to be pushing the new tech with some seriously hard sell. As long as the phone companies keep releasing them they’ll probably sell like hot cakes aka 3ds and then there will be no turning back, just like when touch screens arrived.
@3ddomainnames
Phones3d.net not mine but Congrats all the same.
Ps. Off topic, 3DP is my favourite acronym of the moment, stands for 3d printing.
Reg’d:

Ps. Off topic, 3DP is my favourite acronym of the moment, stands for 3d printing.
my two:
i-3DP.com
3DP1.com
and for anyone with 3DPC names out there
.. this is not just for ‘personal computing’
3DPC can also stand for
‘3d Printing Company’ / ‘3DPrinting Corporation’
@3D Domain Names
I thought we had got past putting each other’s domains down. No need for that!
lol if i start listing names then its going to take up a full page here 🙂
mobiles is ok if you build our a site concerning mobile tech and have various products that are “mobile” then it fits very well
however i think the best tbh is the other way round “Mobile3D” for this type of site without the “s”
I regd 3DMobilia as a short form of 3DMemrobilia, related to 3dprinting of sports memrobila.
Could 3dmobilia serve all 3d mobile apps or is it too gimicky?
@ Slate and @ Stu, Do you want to collaborate with me and my artist to develop a project to flip for a percentage? I registered 3DSLaunchTitles yesterday and want to hurry up and develop and flip it!
DefinitiveDomains is #1 on Google search for Definitive Domains, and will start ranking for other search terms. Google doesn’t waste time, so I can’t. When it’s live, Google crawls it, and that’s what hangs in the results for eternity.
@ infiltrant, Search Mobilia on Google dot it.
@Stu
i’m sorry man.. i’m not putting your domains down (or Giles for that matter) – not intended to be an insult – but there should be no harm in open conversation either.
You know i have always been one of the ones that have never ‘got it’ when it comes to those two names… granted – i’m a little speck in the sand when it comes to domains and those with opinions so don’t really mind me… i could be COMPLETELY wrong about the overall value on these names
but again..
a ‘feature’ inside a product (smartphone/mobile phone) is NOT the same thing as an overall body of work where any manufacturer or retailer has a shot at selling, like tv’s/ laptops / computers/ games / monitors / software.. .etc… an industry where there is an open field of manufacturers and retailers and competition
and the reason being, exactly what i just outlined above – those markets are cornered – i just can’t see apple, nintendo, at&t, sprint, playstation or any of the other ‘big boys’ doing whatever it takes to acquire those names
That’s not to say there’s not value there – that’s not to say you won’t bring back a nice ROI – just to be clear, i think you WILL… but – again, for ME, anyway… i don’t see who’s going to be paying HUGE dollars for it if it’s not the big companies… that’s all.. nothing more
and just to reiterate, i’m not picking on you or anything personal to you… this is just one man’s opinion from Sunny South Florida about two specific industries – nothing more.
hope that ‘takes the edge off’ of this topic – i’m not gunning for you by any means
… i genuinely wish you well with both of those names.
njoy 🙂
My site used to be #1 search on Google for 3D Database but in the last 2 days it slipped down to #4. No idea what happen, but it has not hurt the traffic at all.
The 3D Ultrasound is still my number 1 page (Traffic wise). It gets more traffic then my home page (landing page). I saw another increase just this month in traffic with over 6,000 visitors.
Anyways…
@Louise
What did you have in mind? You have my email address, let me know what you had in mind and I will see if I can help you.
Cheers and looking forward to seeing another 3D related site going active.
@Louise
Thanks for the offer and thanks for thinking of me, but at this point im limited of how much time i can spend on the internet due to having a normal job that requires me to work lots of hours nearly all days and having to run my own house as well. Im sure Slate can help you lots.
Cheers
Stu
Hi guys, well, I launched 3dphonereview.com 9 days ago and just hit the 3000 visits mark last night, so feel I have a bit to offer this thread.
My humble option as to 3d phones vs 3d tvs, the traffic for phones isnt there yet, but I believe just the camera technology included on the 3d smartphones will make them a must have by next Christmas. this will have a flow on effect to 3d tvs as the whole reason they haven’t taken off is the lack of content, (as well as the glasses) but now, with 3d phones, we will be able to create our own content and upload it to your new 3d tablet, 3D console, 3D tv etc, how good will that be!
The 3d phone review site has been really well, and google has indexed it number 1-2 for 3d phone review[s], high as 3 for 3d phone on friday, ( but seems to be bouncing around everywhere for that term) no 4 for 3d mobile, and rating 1 -5 for 3d phone games, 3d phone apps etc etc when last checked,
now a bit of a bitch, I introduced myself on this tread 5 months ago and asked advice re domain names, and was basically told they were rubbish and to get a life by some guy, that was pretty disheartening, and to others out there who are doing this domain thing, stick by your guns and dont believe everybody on here is an expert, you just need to know about using market samurai or some sort of keyword research tool, if nobody types in your search terms, then there is no point buying the domain, obviously future tech is a gamble, but researching before buying up domains is defiantly a good idea,
the other thing is that there are millions of domains in sedo, the worlds major domain reseller site,, so even if you do have a great domain, you still have to sell it, thats not as easy as it sounds, to find a buyer, as there are so many variants of each keyword domain available, and a small market of people who invest in tech domains, just make sure not to get caught with 100’s of domains when the 1st year is up, that gets very xy 🙂
In retrospect, do think maybe why I was told my domains were rubbish is the use of the “-” hypen symbo in some of them,I used this to to get the main keyword, eg “3dsmartphone-review.com” no it doesn’t look pretty and not hip or cool, but if you are chasing that keyword search, the hyphen will have little or no effect in the google index. 3dphonereview is also a good example, even though it isn’t 3dphone.com, it can outrate that domain easily if the site and backlinking is set up correctly, as long os the main leyowrd is in the domain, google will love you 🙂
hypens of cause may be worth less the a non hyphen domain for resale, so guess its to do with your final goal, resell or development?
anyway after getting trashed on here, I followed my own instinct and put my money were my mouth was and have taken the plunge into this niche, which I think we all feel passionate about.
What gets my ‘goat’ a bit is for the last few weeks, Ive been trying to share my experience on this tread, ask for advice, get some feedback on the site, I have invited people to drop in and say hello at 3dphonerevew.com, but just getting ignored.
The only person who has shown any interest is Louise for emerging domains (Thanks Louise 🙂 and a couple of “nice site” comments, I was honestly hoping for a bit more interest as this is what I thought this thread is all about, helping each other out, and to make a go of this 3d thing?
I know this probually comes across as a bit petty, and yes maybe feeling a bit edgy as have been working 15 hour days to get this frost site off the ground, but as have been following this thread everyday for the last 5 months, I guess I was just hoping for a bit more interest as am doing what most are only discussing.
Anyway, thats my 2 cents for the day, gooooo 3d 🙂
@ Slate, Great! You have to profile my site on your homepage. That, in turn, will increase your rankings!
[3d ultrasound] 14,800 8,100 $2.69 <== Exact match of 3D ultrasound. I don't know if you realize what EXACT MATCH means. It's meaningful for the value of the website to rank for that term. It is one of the most searched phrases containing, 3D, also, at $2.69 CPC, one of the most valuable. An image from your site appears in the group of images Google engine serves as first result on search of, "3D ultrasound," without quotes: http://www.google.com/search?q=3d%20ultrasound Rollover the top image of that bunch – do you see it is from 3D Database? Good going! You developed early, and have a solid credibility with Google for one of the most searched, valuable, 3D terms!
Do you have access to the Nintendo 3DS? Do you have a 3D phone? Wonder if you could use your clout with 3D Database to get a complimentary Nintendo 3D console, or 3D phone . . . I need you to review the games. Already put a call out at Textbroker, but don't know if there is overlap there so someone can help me . . .
@ Stu, thanx anyway – hope everything works out!
@3dphonereviews
good points, but…
I still contest the oft repeated claim that hyphens ‘have little or no effect on Google search’.
I’m an affiliate marketer with a network of over 600 sites. I make well over $2,500 a week, including between $100 and $200 a day from my 3D sites (and my income grows every month, my 3D income doubles every 2 -3 months).
Simply put, I find it much, much harder these days to rank well in Google with a hyphenated name. It seems obvious to me that since Google caffiene they have penalised hyphenated domain sites as being more likely to be spam or pure marketing (and they obviously are more likely to be so – it would hardly be a stroke of genius on the part of Google to reflect that in their algorithm). This effect isn’t nearly so pronounced in Bing, for me. Not yet.
I don’t even bother hand regging hyphenated names anymore.
3d phone reviews
most people on this thread are only interested in themselves not interested in anything except maybe a sale that will boost the value of domains they own,you show them a nice site and they will just be jealous as they dont know how to build one or just wont care enough to comment
not everyone here is like that but a large majority are just out for themselves
cue the backlash
@ 3d phone review
“pecking order!”
In the last post by Louise, there are key phrases that, like google rankings, so to are domainers, developers etc, ranked. Make no mistake, each and every smooth, refined, business internet professional to criminal hack, all will, to the death, jealously guard their “rankings.” Vicious, Illusory,and all so deliciously anonymous behind the screens. Competion is of the essense. From being first to get the .com, to “first, page one.” In reality you are only as useful as you are a stone for stepping, make no mistake. Cyber Survival of the fittest. This statement is made with no prejudice or ill feelings to anyone. Just stating facts, in my snails pace up the rankings of the domaining, developing pecking order.
“profile my site”-“increase your rankings”-“YOU DEVELOPED “EARLY””-
And here is my favorite, “USE YOUR CLOUT.”
Beware, the wolf in sheeps clothing.
oh, I regd 3dMedical.co.uk recently. Any good?
@infiltrant – 3Dmedical.co.uk sounds good. Lots of specialities of medicine rely on 3D diagnostic instruments/softwares and machines. Right from dental to neuroscience, 3D imaging is getting really popular for medical uses. Good luck 🙂
@ Domaincurry
Thanks for the vote. Luck? There is a book, authored by Bruce Decker, titled, “Luck Is For Losers.” Backgammon.
I’ve read this book at least 15 times. While luck is a beautiful thing, hard work and honesty are the only qualities of character that mean anything to me.
Sometimes, I wonder what I am doing here, spending hour upon hour, reading and studying. Yet, the challange to understand…..
Every day I gain an increased respect for the enormous work and dedication needed to contribute in a meaningful way to this “brain”, the “internet.” Information super-highway. Glorious.
Thank you.
here’s to the greater good, cheers
@Louise
Thank you for the input. I never noticed that with the images. I know last month, according to my Google Webmaster tool (Dates from March 1 2011 to March 31 2011), this is some of the stats for the top searches on my site. (hard to line up the number from drag and paste)

Cheers and all the best.
Sorry… forgot to add that I am currently in the process of adding a 3DS page to my site. I will keep you update on how that goes over. I haven’t had much time to actually dig into it yet. Really, I just have a place holder there now with some information on it. I plan to go several pages deep in that subject.
Cheers
Tweeted info on THREE FREE 3D .CO domains
@AVE4
@infiltrant, we’re on your side. If you have a question about installing WP or hosting, ask it! Nothing is too basic. Of your domains, I like Holorati, 3DFoodPrinting, and 3DJewelryPrinting – you got some premium on those last two! Maybe you can’t sell printers right from your sites right away, how about putting info like BuyHolographicTV so you can make $$ on Adsense? I like this site a friend set up: lpg.tv . It’s not like a typical blog, and the ads help the content, and she makes use of free Youtube videos.
@Slate, if you keep your content separate and original, I don’t see a conflict. My request for a feature on your front page is temporary. Plus, you would get a percentage after expenses (listing, escrow fee). Not too shabby.
@Louise
I sent you an email to your Emerging Domains address as a reply from one of the emails you sent me. Please let me know if I am off track with what I have written there.
Cheers
Who will be the future perfect owners of 3DTV.com and 3DPHONE.com, maker, retailer, investor, and etc ????

@JTW
Which one of the ten domains you have posted here do you feel has the most potential for sale and which, if different, has the most potential for developement?
I have 3dDomeTheater.com
I registered it before doing any research. Just free-associating, you know. Google shows increased activity on this front. I don’t know.
trickytobeat
Another great domain, @trickytobeat – 3DDomeTheater!
@3DSmartphone, another nice catch – 3DApartments! It might have real application if landlords could video their apartments in 3D and post them!
@JTW, 3DMediaConsoles stood out to me.
@ Anyone, did you register AR – augmented reality – names?
Did you register any tap-and-pay or phone pay names?

I am surprised Michael has not closed this thread.
It is full of garbage 3D names.
Not only are 95%+ of you posters embarrasing yourselves, but also, you sheep are throwing your money in the toilet.
Question: why do you seek so much approval of your 3d names?
Answer: most of you are very insecure
-Peter Barron
Just my opinion but I think that Tapload/Taploading will take the place of Download/Downloading, one day in the near future. What do you think?
There is truth is what Peter Barron says. I know most if ot all of the domains I have regd are worthless, however, in the insecurity is the vulnerablity of risk and chance. I wonder what insecurity there was with the first domainers back in the mid 1990’s.
How did they suffer the nay_sayers?
Robert McLean
@ Infiltrant trusted his intuition, and has some nice domains. The method is throw your net wide; trust your intuition, and there are some decent names there!
@ Ferg, I’m liking dot mobi – TapandPay.mobi is my favorite in that bunch. I like the three I listed under Touch category as well, including TouchPadAuction & TouchScreenBidding.
There’s four of us developing my loser, 3DSLaunchTitles right now, so we’re moving forward like an army on what you may view is a worthless name!
Peace. 😀
@Peter I think you’re exaggerating saying ‘95% of the names here are garbage’. Yes, you see a few names here that deserve make you wince, but not very often from the regular posters.
‘Brandable’ futuristic names are highly risky, indeed. I think I’ve only registered one name in that category – You3D.com Perhaps ‘channel3d.com’ too, but that’s hardly a futuristic name anymore with a new 3D channel coming out every week.
2,500+ 3D comments! 🙂

Wow Giles. Conrats! Thats a great sale. Cloud is the next big thing. Happy to see its already started picking up. Good luck with all the other cool domains that you have!

@Giles
Congrats mate!!!
@Everyone
Moniker and Successclick are looking to secure a date in late June for the Future Trend Auction. For now, you will have at least until May 20th to submit your domains.
So we are looking at a month and a half. What kind of advertising for auction awareness can be raised in a month and a half and that is assuming that they will have the finalized date shortly.
Any word on when they plan to send out the domains that have been accepted?
Just a few questions I had… Cheers
What is the asking price for 3D.com?
@Slate and to All,
If you want to find out what’s going on with the Future Trend Domain Auction™, you can post your questions where I’ll easily see them… at Successclick.com blogsite.
If you are concerned about if six weeks is long enough to promote your domains, it’s longer than most auctions spend, and we would be served better if the blogsite of the domain category auction creator had some movement on it to show the potential buyers the interest. Or I can always send them over to EmBee’s link here, but I don’t think he’d want to answer all the questions! 😉
So all questions answered at Successclick about the Future Trend Domain Auction™. Embee will get the exclusive final report before it is posted anywhere else.
How about make post THE 3D DOMAIN REVOLUTION – THE FUTURE TREND WAVE STARTS NOW a “sticky” at the top of SuccessClick? With 646 comments – not too shabby! – it is the one SuccessClick fans like to discuss 3D and what’s new in holograms. In WordPress, you can make the post, “sticky,” so it appears at the top. You can make the most recent post, “sticky,” and it will appear first, and the other one 2nd, under, “Quick Edits.” Go to Settings/Discussion to adjust the comments – they don’t all have to load every time!
@ Giles, Congrats! Winning . . .
where do i get 3d domain from?
The person who owns 3dchannel.com might be interested in the following channel com sales :
channels3d.com $265
archannel.com $3,300
echannel.com $7,000
universalchannel.com $15,252
starchannel.com $18,000
channel49.com $2,000
channel971.com $2,500
eurochannel.net 1,100 euros
foodandwinechannel.com $5,000
channelinfo.com $3,500
hdchannels.com $1,100
I would have thought 3dchannel.com must be worth at least $15,000
BTW, just registered Stuff3d.com There is a very popular gadget magazine (that already has an iPad application) called ‘Stuff’.
The number of 3d channels will pass the 100 mark by 2014 :

@3dsmartphone
I hope so!
As I’ve said, I’m not really knowledgeable about domain values, so all I know is that anything below $15,000 would be a crazy low price.
I’ve submitted channel3d.com to the future trend auction with a reserve price of $10,000.
Too low?
@Channel 3D
That price is just my opinion, my advice to you is to have your best domains appraised by Stephen Douglas before submitting them into the auction. Best of luck mate.
For anyone who likes holo domains , I picked up another one last week
HoloConsole.com
Worth a punt.

Great articles, @ 3DSmartphone & @ MHB! When Cameron Crowe speaks, the entertainment world listens! He teamed up with his cameraman on Avatar to make technology for 3D affordable to produce. That’s cool 3D effect on the iPad for games, @ Stu!
If anyone would please like to visit 3DSLaunchTitles to offer feedback here and comment there, please do so! It’s been live since the 5th, already has 18 twitter followers, though no tweet yet, and made $$ on the Epik store backend: 47 cents. Thanx! 🙂
3DDiagramme.de (3D Maps – .de)
3Dmaps is a valuable domain, all maps will be 3D someday
Just a lil update, dropped my price on 3dlaptop.com by half, interested party raised their last offer, now at $3Xk 🙂 But considering so-so 3d names are getting good money OI think Ill hold out a bit.
On a side note now that baseball season has started up my uv’s are pickng up on 3dbaseball.com! Not ever going to be a traffic sale but goes to show there isd interest in the market from consumers.
So 3d domains are selling, after all?
Yes sir, can only get better imo.
I must be on a different planet. I have had all of my .com .net .org Future Trend, 3d holo domains parked on Sedo for sale from the times I registered them. I have yet to receive an offer. Not one.
Although it is Sedo.

What are your top 3?
I know Ive made offers in the $XXXX rang low to high for a handful with no luck.

@Josh
How many ‘so-so’ 3d domains have fetched good prices recently? Genuinely curious to know names and prices, thanks.
Hate to say this infiltrant
but in all honesty, we’re all in the same boat and we all have the same interests, yes?
we all are following the latest 3d/holo/future news and following trends and want the best, yes?
well, we are not doing any good to each other by blowing each others names all day long.
again, my apologies for singling you out infiltrant, not intentional, you just happened to have dropped this big list on everyone here and i have to say… this is a rough batch of names.
I can fully understand getting excited about tech and buying some domain names – i’ve done plenty of it, but i’d like to think that ‘most’ (i said MOST :)) of the names i have, have a place and make sense…. there are not many in your list that i would say follow that thinking. I know we all have some stinkers in our possession, but simple logic says that the good names need to outweigh the stinkers in any investment.
I really wish most of you would be more open and honest about these names you see being listed instead of just praising everything with an extension so you can get praise back on your own latest reg or project… it does no one any good – no one!!
There’s nothing wrong with constructive criticism or even telling someone that a certain name(s) are not really that good…. maybe it’s all in how we word our feedback that could use a little attention before posting but if someone is known for honest feedback, and gives honest feedback, you will get an honest answer…. if not, it’s ‘x’ amount of months, days and dollars later and your left holding a stack of names that you can barely give away for free, let alone profit from.
again, not trying to pick on you infiltrant – i would just rather see this group/thread become a little more constructive…
… and i also think most of you agree with everything i just said – whether you say it openly or not.
With that said, i say these would be the three i like best:
• 3dExperiment.com
• 3dOpportunities.com
• The3DPrinter.com
@3DDomainNames
thank you for your post
for me, honesty is the best policy
any seasoned vet can tell that I am not, however I will learn.
I appreciate very much the honest comments. thank you
It does not concern me at all the registering of marginal or useless/worthless domains, short of the monetary hit.
I am indebted to those reading and suffering my education here. Thank you.
lol boy oh boy!
@infiltrant
I’m not an experienced reseller of domains like the others here, but I agree with 3ddomainnames that most of your collection are simply going to be a hole in your bank account for as many years as you renew them.
However, I do like some of your 3d printing names, and I would also definately start developing the holographic map ones.
The rule I tend to follow is that any 3d name I buy should have at least some search engine traffic already, and any holo name should have search engine traffic for its 3d equivalent.
I only register the occasional outstanding brandable name that has no direct product or service to sell (example You3D.com, and even with this one there is in fact a service being developed by the name of You 3D).
A developing technology may offer glasses-free 3D to Apple’s iPad and iPhone.

SolarOffers.com was sold last week for $3,200
Just registered Interracial3D.com Even valuate says $1,000 already.
Just registered: DualSceenTouchpad.com – Acer & Libretto sure left that one on the table!
It’s DualScreenTouchbook , said the wrong one. Now I have ten dual screen domains . . . CNET gave Acer Dual Screen Touchbook 4 1/2 stars . . .
I register 3DGESTURES.COM, HOLOWIRE.COM, HOLOZILLA.COM, HOLOHOSTING.COM & HOLOSHARING.COM and it’s for sale 🙂
A certain company has just offered me 1000 euro for
PalmTopTheater.com
I reg’d it about 6 months ago, should i sell ?
…..think it has something to do with a device coming out for the iphone/ipad called – I3DG
http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/iphone-goes-3d-with-palm-top-theater-50001699/
@3dsmartphone
What a cool device! The video seems to be targeted at the Japanese market as well as the west, can imagine it being a success over there. If its a company why not counter 3k….or take the money and run. Well done either way.
@Louise
Nice grab! Be interesting to see what interest it gets. Once again, a great looking device, might even be game changing…
@ 3DSmartphone
Great news mate, congrats and good luck which ever way it pans out.
Excellent to see sales starting to pick up!
just registered Goo3D.TV and Pad3D.TV 🙂

3dprinting.com €25500
3derotica.com $1500
3d-web.net $3000
buy3laptop.com $1000
3dweb.com is by far the best sale (bar 3dprinting.com ofcourse). Considering the number of 3d names registered, there’s a heck of a way to go before everyone can start justifying their investments. Suppose that’s FT for ya!
@3dsmartphone
Out of curiosity I checked on GD the alternative spelling to palmtoptheater.com which is palmtoptheatre.com, more the English language way of spelling it, and the .com was available so I regd it! I suppose it counts more like a typo than anything but should it ever make a few hundred bucks I’ll count you in 🙂
Interestingly, the majority of the sold domains listed above are now developed sites (or soon to be). 3dfusion.com is worth a look due to its glasses free 3d tvs.
Thanks for the advice guys, I did the private sale for 1000 euro to a company called http://www.v2.nl (been told off go-daddy the account change will take a couple of hours). I was going to let the domain expire as well in Sept.
@3dsmartphone
Cool beans! Considering this is the biggest, longest, most talked about thread in the world (or whatever), its been sorely lacking any success stories, sales, or even reports of offers. May the selling begin…
Hyphenated 3d-domains seem to be coveted? domainscape change, hmmmm..
not my sale
.. just noticed this on who.is:
3DC.com – $3,600
(NameJet)
Congrats on the sale, @ Stu! It seems an artistic studio might project the 3D images as an installment, or perhaps it has a contract to market the i3DG for the company that makes it.
Either way, good on you! Those stick figures you have to scrunch your eyes to see might appeal as novelty, but I can’t see it taking off – can you?
Registered two new domains today from reading Flipboard is nervous of competition from Google Fast Flip:
FlipCouponCode
FlipCouponCodes
There is a company which supplies coupon feeds starting at $500.00, so maybe I could just be an affiliate to raise $$ first . . .
@3d-d.de
Just curious what makes you think 3D-hyphen names are coveted. I hope you are right but wondering if you know something I don’t?
The 3DC.com sale is nice but I think its a bargain. It could stand for any number of things (Computers, cameras, camcorders, corporation, company etc plus many other things??)
The world is going 3D mad, we now got 3D Batteries –
http://nextgenlog.blogspot.com/2011/03/energy-3d-batteries-boost-output-speed.html
@Louise
Thanks, I don’t think what they are doing will take off as well, not sure everyone will want to carry round a plastic viewer half the size of an iphone that clips on, esp when 3d phones are on the way.
Cheers
@3dsmartphone
Out of interest, what made you register palmtoptheater.com in the first place, did you hear about the product 6 months ago?
@HGPortfolio
I saw the video footage on youtube with the heading – i3DG Palm Top Theater , so went for the second part because it seemed to me the generic part, bit like seeing – Sony fX338 3D Camera . Its not a great sale by a long shot but I have a nice domain in my sights and every penny helps.
Cheers
@Giles
My comments regarding hyphenated 3d domains is solely based on the “sold” list posted here by HGPortfolio:
3d-templates.com $2789
3d-video.com $2488
3d-x.com $1600
3d-web.net $3000
1/6th of the list: -hyphenated

@ 3d-d.de, Maybe my 3D-Speakers has a chance! I am going to submit it to Future Trend Auction to start, but I know I can start it in the low x,xxx.
Congratulations 3dsmartphone You must be feeling good with the launch of the LG 3D only 8 days away as well.
Just regged Romantic3D.com and Crime3D.com Normally don’t invest in these types of domains, but I figure I could get lucky with these, so surely worth the reg fee.
Any word on when the FT Auction might be taking place etc ?
@ JTW, how about email Stephen? The date is set up, I believe. It’s soon!
Hey, People! …………. ‘Rio’ No. 1 at box office with $40M

I’m going to go see it if I can. Are you going to see it?
@ MHB, you should make that a poll question: Are you going to see Rio?
You guys, just hand reg’d: drumroll, please ……………………. 3DPricer.com *cymbols*

Outstanding domain in my opinion. You have free reign on many 3D topics with a domain name like that.
That is going to be a keeper.
Just my opinion.
Cheers
@ Slate, hi. Thanx – almost as good as your domain! With all the great ones on this forum, it is nice to have a nice, short, meaningful 3D domain name!
It is meaningful, right? It’s not a 3D physical pricer, but 3D Pricer . . .
GD has a one dollar promo right now 🙂

@ DomainNames3D, sounds like a winner!
Waiting for my aftermarket to resolve: 3Ddesignsoftware.com. I won it, but when I checked the WhosIs, it is offered at auction through another house, so the owner will have to withdraw it. I don’t like that!

The latest article confirms that the LG Pad/G-Slate won’t be a 3D tablet after all (although it will be able to shoot in 3D).
BTW, if you still had any doubts as to the power of an exact match domain, I’m already on the front page of Google for ‘3D Tablet’. I don’t have ANY backlinks (apart from here). There is not a chance I would have achieved that with any other domain (apart from .com and .org) and not even with 3d-tablet.com
@3D Tablet
I am not trying to argue with you but as I did a search on Google.com for the key words “3D Tablet”, your site did not come up in the first 3 pages.
Is it possible that you where on a different Google, like Google.CO.UK or Google.CA?
Could be possible that you where logged into a Google account when you did your search.
I am not trying to upset any one. I am just wondering.
Cheers
3dtvs.info was reported as sold today ($1,500 / Sedo)
@GoodDomainNames – thats good news 🙂 I had recently acquired 3DLed/info so it stands a good chance as well
My latest 3d domain acquisition :
3d-entertainment.com
Which reminds me that I wanted to do something with
car-entertainment.com
After all, 3d domain names seem to get more important than many predicted.
@Slate
You’ve really made me angry now!
LOL! Of course not.
Maybe Google is tracking my preferences and browsing history and that’s why it’s showing so high for me. Does anyone know how to switch that off? I wasn’t logged in to my Google account.
I think it is on the first page for Google.ca and Google.co.uk and Google.com.au as I’m getting a fair bit of search traffic from them.
BTW, what do people think of the value of 3D geographic names – such as, for example 3DVienna.com or Portugal3D.com ?
@MHB I really like that 3d-entertainment.com, No doubt It will do very well.
What do you think about my latest Holo acquisition:
WIKIHOLO.COM,
I think it’s kind of catchy, what do you think. Possibilities?
Well I sure hope hyphenated 3d names are the real deal because I pretty much almost own the adult genre :
3d-analsex.com
3d-blowjobs.com
3d-cumshots.com
3d-gayporn.com
3d-handjobs.com
3d-hardcoreporn.com
3d-latinas.com
3d-masturbation.com
3d-mobileporn.com
3d-oralsex.com
3d-pissing.com
3d-porntube.com
3d-pov.com
3d-sexchat.com
3d-teenporn.com
3d-teensex.com
3d-tvporn.com
3d-voyeur.com
3d-webcams.com
@ 3d-pornsites.com
Hats off. Good work. I have one adult 3d domain. 3dFuckMarket.com
Pales in comparison.
How will you market them?
cheers
oops, I forgot
3dforeplay.com is mine
Mind, my collection of unhyphenated adult aren’t bad either :
3dcum.com
live3dsex.com
3dasianporn.com
3dasiansex.com
3dbigtits.com
3dcamporn.com
3dwebcamporn.com
3dfeet.com
3djapaneseporn.com

3dporndvds.com
3drussianporn.com

lesbians3d.com
bondage3d.com
booty3d.com
fatgirls3d.com
liveporn3d.com
wives3d.com
3dsmartphoneporn.com
3dmobilecams.com
I’d put the worth of my entire 3d adult collection at $x,xxx,xxx
Of course, we still don’t know what the .xxx decision will have on adult com sales, but I’m pretty sure I’ll earn $x,xxx,xxx from these domains within 5 – 10 years anyway.

@3d-pornsites.com
I think you are getting really optimistic when talking x,xxx,xxx figures for those names, especially as they aren’t the premium adult keywords, like 3dsex, 3dporn, 3dlesbian, 3dgay etc
@3d-d.de
Thanks mate, I hope you are right, I have a few 3D-Keyword.com names like these below
3D-Laptop.com
3D-Laptops.com
3D-Phones.com
3D-Mobiles.com
3D-Computer.com
3D-Camcorder.com
3D-Camcorders.com
@Giles
Well I have about 200 nets and orgs as well – for example – 3dlesbian.net
I would also suggest that live3dsex.com is a premium 3d adult domain.
As I said, I can pretty much guarentee that those domains will bring me at least 1 million dollars in revenue in the next 5 years, perhaps 10 times that amount – without selling a single one of them . They have already made me over $30,000 in the past year, when the 3d porn industry is less than 0.1% of what it will be in just 5 years time.
So frankly, who cares if no domain reseller would currently be willing to pay a million dollars to sit on their asses in the hope of selling them on for 2 million dollars? They are certainly worth that amount to me and I wouldn’t sell them for 1 million if it was offered right now.
I’ve been trimming down my domains, I’m gonna renew the following –
3DConsole.com

@3dsmartphone.com
3dphotocopying.com. Nice discovery.
@HGportfolio
Thanks, Im under no illusion that 3DPhotocopying is king, 3DPrinting is Prime King, next you will have ones like – 3DCopying, 3DCopy, 3DCopies, 3DCopiers, 3DPhotoCopier, 3DPhotoCopiers etc etc…… along the line 3DPhotocopying will fit in somewhere, somehow!!
It’s official 3DDesignSoftware.com is mine! After I won it at auction and it was PUSHed to my account, I held off approving escrow until the seller removed the listing from different platforms. He never did. It’s like, “It takes five minutes, dude. Log into your account and remove the domain.” He’s like, I’m a big company, it takes a while. Please be patient.” Finally, I called Afternic and Snapnames & convinced them to delist the domain name. The company is Nokta, and its rep says he doesn’t want to do business with me anymore. I answered, “Too bad, because you have some nice domain names I might like to buy in the future.”
Having the domain, while it is still listed at auction houses in the seller’s name, is like buying a car, but the seller won’t give you the title. The car is in my driveway, but I can’t drive it, because I don’t have the title. The domain is in my account, but if it’s listed under the seller’s name, I can’t list it at that auction house. You’ll see. When the Future Trend Auction happens, the terms will require exclusive listing, and you’ll have to delete the domain from other platforms, first.
@Louise
i’m pretty sure that once the whois info is up to date – you can submit your name in the same auction house and in the process, overwriting the old listing. I have done this more than a few times… although i can’t speak for ALL auction houses
🙂
New Addition…
… just bought:
• HolographicConferencing.com
… this should work very nicely with my existing:
• HologramConferencing.com
@Louise
Good work on 3dDesignSoftware.com An industry leader. Admire the tenacity.
What do think about HologamReview.com?
cheers
@Louise
3ddesignsoftware.com is your best yet! One to hold onto for when 3d printing turns mainstream..
Nice catches, @ MHB, with 3D-Entertainment, and @ 3DSmartphone, with 3DPhotoCopying! I like HologramConferencing, and HologramReview, too!
@HGPortfolio, you like 3DDesignSoftware better than 3DMartini? Just joking. Better than 3DPricer? I like that one because it’s shorter, but the other has the best searches of most of my domain names. I am the only domainer who never signed up for Adsense, and I think now is the time!
I’ve decided to renew – 3DFaxMachine.com as well
https://webspace.utexas.edu/reyesr/self/3D_fax.html
I think things here will develop big time.

Comment:
@3D Tablet
I am not trying to argue with you but as I did a search on Google.com for the key words “3D Tablet”, your site did not come up in the first 3 pages.”
—–
Let’s remember one thing about 3D/holo and all other “FT domains”. The world isn’t caught up to us yet. Remember that. Certain powerful people with brains at the big corporations may have zeroed in on our New Media technology domains, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the world, whether Biz or Consumer, has come close to understanding what your FT domains are.
It doesn’t matter what Google SR brings back, or how many pages you count down (I personally load my Google SR pages to show 100 results for each search).
What matters is further research into why you bought that domain in the first place. Think about it as a brand. What took many of us by surprise was the biggest “3D” ad campaign directed at a product that was….. ummmmm… well, all about TOOTHPASTE. WHUUUUT?
http://www.crest.com/crest-products/3D-white-advanced-vivid-stain-protection-toothpaste.aspx
Here’s the KILLER, folks. And this is insight I’m giving you for free so that you can prepare for the upcoming Future Trend Domain Auction™.
— COLGATE BOUGHT THE KEYWORDS “3D Toothpastes” (in quotes and the plural) FOR THIS PRODUCT, AND IS THE TOP SR FOR THE TERM “3D Toothpastes”.
Is that an oversight by Crest? Of course. Every person typing in “3D toothpastes” especially in quotes, will end up at Colgate’s site by clicking on the adword top ad by Colgate.
Smart!
And does Colgate own this plural keyword phrase domain of their competitor’s?
Nope, sorry, I found that it was unregistered, and Bang.
So, it’s clear that a company promoting a new “brand term” to “backbrand” their prodservs should BUY EVERY VARIATION of that brand/keyword generic domain. If they don’t know how, then they should be hiring someone in the domain industry to educate them on how to do it.
I’m just saying… MARKETING DIRECTORS – if you don’t understand WHY the generic keyword domains for your prodservs are important for your company to own… my comment here should indicate why.
Maybe within 48 hours of this comment by me, Crest will contact me and want to buy “3Dtoothpastes.com” – even though there were only 14 SR’s …
I actually bought the domain in the middle of my story, because I was wondering if Crest was smart enough to get the plural of their toothpaste keywords.
Looks like a lot of companies (95%) have a long way to go in understanding the marketing strategy behind generic domain names of their prodservs.
@Stephen Douglas
My comment to 3D Tablet was based on his statement that he was on the first page of Google. I was only trying to clarify his statement.
It was not based on his 3D content, but his statement that exact match names hold a better spot on the Google algorithm.
I realize where 3D sits with most of the world especially search engines. I to follow this trend and many others. I also have a website that is dedicated to many aspects of 3D.
I must not understand what you mean when you say that you get Colgate for the term 3D Toothpastes. I get Crest as the #1 result.
But I am not here to argue. I am on top for my term (exact name) 3D Database.
I think there are 89,900 search results for “3D Database” (in quotes). 128,000,000 (without quotes)
Either which way, I am the number 1 search result for the term, beating out The National Cancer Institute and many others. Apparently 3D Database has roots in the science field. (who knew?)
But I get a hand full (5-6 thousand) hits a month. Like I said, I cover many aspects of 3D. My domain name allows me to expand to any aspect of the 3D world and I try to take advantage of that.
Granted I am only a one man show, so I am limited in the time I can put into this (Work full time since I the sole provider for my house hold, Go to school full time, have a second job, and a child that needs special care) . Other then that, my website gets my attention.
But no one is here to listen to how I do things.
My point is that my original comment (the one you quoted) was well thought out before making the statement and it was only to clarify an earlier statement from 3D Tablet.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers
@3D Pornsites
Ok, lets just wait and see, let me know when you make your first million…and about your last paragraph, I’m not talking about resellers and domainers, I am only talking end-users as taht is where the money is? No-one will make anywhere near 1 million dealing with resellers, especially in this niche.
Good luck though
“when you make your first million”
it will need time, but, surely, the 3D domains will be a profitable market, that’s why I register all good 3D domains I find still free
@ 3DSmartphone.com
I managed to hand reg a few weeks back:
copyin3d.com
copying3d.com
scan3-d.com
definitely some promise with those I think
@ HGPortfolio, When I think, 3DDesignSoftware, I didn’t think of 3D printing, I thought of 3D animation for the big screen, or 3D effects . . . you made me realize it has application for industrial, so an object could be designed using 3D desigin software and fed into the printer, so it comes out to spec – that’s what you meant, right?
My friend is an online retailer. She grabs the generic keyword domain of the item informs what she chooses to sell, then she picks it up from the wholesaler, and does very well!
@ MHB has HolographicRecorders, there’s a parallel with 3DDatabase. Wikipedia makes me sit on my fanny with the information on new technologies, so there is another keyword term which has huger application than what it appears on the surface: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_data_storage
@ how to save up to millions of dollars in ads
It certainly will be, but all the good names are gone a long time ago, so my advice would be to try and find expiring names or email existing owners to see if there are any bargains around. You need to do a lot of research regarding future tech domain and make sure there is a market for them and you have a cleat use for the name before purchasing anything. You cant just register a 3D name and think it will make you a lot of money, it doesn’t work that way.
“but all the good names are gone a long time ago”
not true
got in auction a couple months ago
3DTABLETS.ORG
3DTABLET.ORG
@“but all the good names are gone a long time ago”
“not true”
If you think there are really good names available, please feel free to let me know which ones you hand-regged?
3Dsit.es and 3Dpornsit.es
and 3Dconsol . es
@::: how to save up to millions of dollars in ads :::
I said good names, not domain hacks, they are not worth much
I owned 3DMovi.es and 3DGam.es a while ago and let them expire, seriously, I would do the same
“I owned 3DMovi.es and 3DGam.es a while ago and let them expire, seriously, I would do the same”
in my opinion, you done a wrong thing to don’t keep them and wait to sell good
both these domains will be very valuable when 3D games and movies will be widely sold
in support of my opinion … yesterday I’ve tried to register also 3Dgam.es
@::: how to save up to millions of dollars in ads :::
Just curious how long you have been in this business. My advice would be to listen to people who have been doing this for a long time
Have you ever thought why names like that are available with thousands of domainers searching for available domain every day and there are still many more hacks available in a huge range of extensions?? Why do you think that is? Have a look at the overall sales of domain hacks and you will get an idea of what they are worth.
Just advice, take it or leave it
@Giles,
Bit.ly seems to be doing ok.
@Bob
Everytime this topic comes up, people mention the one that is doing ok?? Thats is only one..
If you have the big branding and marketing budget, thats fine, but most people here dont.
There are other hacks that are doing ok, but the amount is tiny in the scheme of things
Also remember sites like del.icio.us do well because they own Delicious.com as well
for the most part, i agree with Giles
some hacks CAN be nice – dot net for example (inter.net..etc)
but .es hacks – are pretty much worthless
– – – – – –
@3ds
this might be just a bit too long (and my only three word holo name)
but i have:
• HolographicMemoryCards.com
look this up – amazing!!!
this will apply to everything, from business cards, to your drivers license
not only that giles
… but it’s a developed site
.. it was promoted and pushed and built up
an .es hack – as a stand alone domain – with no content
is not really worth much
ESPECIALLY a longtail like 3dpornsit
maybe if it was a one word hack in a key niche, but not a chance otherwise for .es
“a longtail like 3dpornsit”
that’s why I will offer it free to those who will buy 3Dsit.es
and, of course, the best domains always are and will be the .com
Hi 3DSmartphone.com —- I am out of the blue, so you may choose to skip & disregard of course. I’m had years of in film & TV biz, branding ad & mktg design background in LA, as well as incubating new businesses at places like idealab.com. My focus past 10 years has been User Experience Design, so I’ll just say I have that as my “consumer perspective” vs prospector perspective about what’s going to be brandable and interesting to end user consumers. As to how you guys make money thru SEO stuff and keywords, that’s a world I will never understand but I have a great respect for those who do, and would certainly love to understand its mechanics.
Of all the lists of names mentioned, generally speaking, yours sound down to earth and practical and brandable. 3-D — that’s a loser. but yours are either 3D-name or 3Dname — those are winners.
I also think the FUNCTIONAL approach of real estate destinations and exploring interiors of spaces is probably going to be the way more practical – though way less sexy sounding – method to make the 3d concept work. I truly believe people will tire of this, but okay, I imagine being positioned to parlay during the window when it’s active is smart. But ‘m saying YOURS have more evergreen quality to them with the destination focus.
And the basic product electronic product categories — *the actual display systems*… vs content specific sites.
For people who are banking on 3d-specific CONTENT sites, I find it rather foolhardy. Every existing content portal or destination site that “owns” a content category or vertical market is going to have 3d content by default. People won’t need to add 3D to every form of content they want to see — it will just BE THERE already as a filter or preference, or device-specific sniffer will feed that device with the 3D version of that content release. That’s how it’s always worked and will continue to work. People didn’t go searching for BLURAYMOVIES.com — they’d go to their normal movie venues and bluray offerings were there as a filter. Consumers are not interested in THAT degree of specificity.
Film, TV, games, porn. erotic, lesbian sex, etc — these are all categories, these are what people think of — they don’t append to that ” OH LET ME GO TO A 3DNAMEDSITEVARIATIONOFTHEPLACEINORMALLYGOTO.com” … not going to be the way the chips fall in the long run. maybe short term, so if so, more power to the guy who says he’s making $30,000 a month or year whatever, and destined to make a million . Good, I hope you do.
But every porn site with an existing brand name will simply be having 3d versions, just like they added divX or 8 megapixel pix, then 32 megapixel, etc.
One other comment: FWIW: I really truly don’t see the word Hologram gaining traction. yes it’s a cool word. Yes, Wolf Blitzer used it for election results 2 years ago and it was routinely mocked as silly. The problem is, differentiation in the minds of consumers is not going to be that specific. 3D is a great word, it’s short, it COVERS that concept. HO-LO-GRAM takes much longer to say, it doesn’t work as an adjective, it doesn’t lightly fall off the tongue when juxtaposed with the next word — 3D is lightning fast — its like one syllable and attaches like an instant magnet to any word and just works. Holgram, Holograhic — i don’t think so, — too problematic.
I just don’t see consumers bothering with it when the term 3D exists alongside it.
It’s like TV news people using the term SKYCAM for helicopter footage for freeway traffic conditions… They aren’t going to start saying “Let’s go to the HelicopterCam” to see what we got” … not when they have a better short-form term that just sticks in people’s minds better.
I’m just saying, if you’re trimming, think about it. … ANd that’s my take…. for better or worse… 🙂
=================================
I’ve been trimming down my domains
3DConsole.com — good, a device that will be sold for special display capability
3DSmartphone.com — good, a device that will be sold for special display capability
3DHorror.com — I guess so, but we’ve had 3D horror films for many years already.. just saying…
3DSmartphone.co.uk — good, a device that will be sold for special display capability
3DSmartphones.co.uk — good, a device that will be sold for special display capability
3DHorror.co.uk
3D-PC.com — maybe all of you know something i dont know
3DAmateur.com — I guess a dedicated content portal site is good
3DHongKong.com — YES, destination to explore — but I think it’s for exploratory REAL ESTATE, not virtual tours
3DApartments.com — YES, destination to explore — but I think it’s for exploratory REAL ESTATE, not virtual tours
3DMobileStore.com — i don’t see it
3DPrintingCo.com — doesn’t seem strong
3DPhotoPrinters.com —
3DConsole.co.uk
MobilePhones3D.Com
Laptops3D.Com
3DTVRental.com
Buy3DMobiles.com — better
3DAmateurPorn.com — another portal, here is a unique offereing vs established sites offering a different format of content
3DCreampie.com
3DPornSites.com — maybe a portal is good or will be for a while at least
Holo.co.uk — i’m sure you see this as killer. Maybe it is. Prob others agree. to me its value is a play off of hulu more than the literal reference to 3d
HoloDomains.com — i wouldn’t want it
HoloConsole.com — i guess if games are specificaly marketed that way
HoloStore.com — ditto
HolographicMap.com — okay, that’s good actually
HolographicGame.com — maybe
HolographicPC.com — i dont see it
HolographicForum.com — i dont see it

@Richard_SF
Thanks for your opinion on my domains, interesting read. I have been domaining for about 2 years now and all the money I have spent on domains I have recovered in sales, in fact I’m up by £370 so all the domains you see in that list are mine for free, no money spent, domaining for me has never been serious, if I make a big sale then it will become serious. If I never sell another domain I would be as happy as I am always, one man’s junk is another man’s gold mine!
within two years we will se a boom of 3D domains sales

@ Richard_SF, Nice comment – thanx! Maybe you’re right, shorter is better, but don’t you think because the nature of domains is their scarcity, for instance, there is only one chat.com and only one 3DChat.com, that 3D can serve to distinguish the content? Also, @ 3DSmartphone has 3DHongKong.com – who knows what is on the HongKong.com website? Just checked – it’s an email service. Isn’t that a great alternative to develop, perhaps with the view of 3DMaps in mind? See:

I recieved a low-ball offer on 3dsigner.com on Sedo this morning.
I want to know what to offer in return.
Considerations: 3ddesigner.com (estibot 7200), designer.com (estibot 541,000), designer.co.uk sold on sedo (123,000), designer.de sold on sedo (74,000)
Where does 3dsigner.com fit?
@3d-d.de
Firstly…never read into automated appraisals say, they are a joke
I would counter but not much more, this name doesn’t really make sense to me and is not in the same range as “3D Designer”, mainly because yours says “3D Signer”…which isn’t really a word…unless they are looking at the “3D signs” angle…if its a say $60 offer, I would counter with a $200 maybe and take the money its accepted.
Just my opinion though
thanks Giles
some 3D domains may sell well only in the near future, maybe 2-3 years
UPDATE
BIG AUCTION NEWS:
http://www.thedomains.com/2011/04/27/calling-all-3d-domain-owners-fans-future-trend-domain-auction%E2%84%A2-set-for-snapnames-showcase-auction-for-june/
Counter triple for 3DSigner!
1) “Hack” brands are in! Skype, Reddit, eBay, Bing, 3alityDesigns . . .
2) 3D is all about Holograms, is all about security, is all about distinguishing the real from the counterfit.
3) Triple low-ball offer is not that much. Counter, and see what happens!
May I amend that? Counter with $1000.00. 3DSigner is a brand. They all want it.
thanks Louise
I countered substantially, very substantially higher that $1,000.00
If negotiations stop, so be it.
thank you
Hi, I’m relieved. Good for you! I was just going to post, $1000.00 is low. 3Designer is on Snapnames at $2588.00 BIN, but 3DSigner is nicer, shorter! Many extensions of 3DSign are taken, and the dot net of 3DSinger.
@ MHB, Thanx for article! On my site there is a nice video of Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime’s appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to demo the Nintendo augmented reality games – you have to see it to believe it! People don’t realize all the facets of Nintendo3DS.
no disrespect intended 3d-d / louise
…but 3dsigner is better then 3designer????
‘substantially higher’ than $1,000??
c’mon now
it’s great to be excited about your name(s)
… but Gravity is an amazing thing sometimes
maybe i just don’t understand or maybe it’s an area that i am not all too familiar with… very possible… and if so, i will reconsider
… so i ask you both
to explain to me WHY – prove me wrong.
Okay, let me take a stab at explaining the value of 3Dsigner!
Domainers have influenced the market in domains in more ways than one!
1) startups without lots of cash settle for the misspell or an abbreviation when domains are registered:
Flicker ==> Flickr
EchoBay ==> eBay
Skyper ==> Skype
When the domain is not available, small companies have made do. The domain industry is so misunderstood and hated, it got to be a badge of creativity for companies to think up names which AREN’T registered, such as:
Reddit
Etsy
theDailyBeast
So there are TWO Categories left to register, not just keyword match domains, but catchy, brand domains, which have nothing to do with keyword.
That’s the talent of people who comment here! Where is the value in i-Holo? i-Hologram? HoloBuzz? Holorati? CloudCo? BendeBooks? They have value! They’re registered by people who post here. At first, I didn’t understand. Now I get it. 3d-d has talent for registering catchy trend brand domains. 3Dsign is a great example!
Real companies in film:
3alityDigital
3DEyeSolutions
BluLaserDigital
BluFocus
Da-Lite – You get the picture! View the dot com of each of the names.
Variety makes baseball, and everyone here has talent, whether brand or generic search.
More examples: In-Three, HDLogix, Holografica – part of my master end user list! On Techmeme: Quora, Gowalla, Fring, Zynga, Viewdle – who heard of these? The startups are going after unique names. So, there is a place for hand regging catchy uniques.
@Louise
Talent, me? You are perhaps being t0o kind to me.
It makes me a little uncomfortable when I see you being called out here on this thread. I hope that your hard work and good nature, not to mention, considerable “domainaccumen” are in and of themselves strength enough to keep perspective and faith in the face of critism. Thank you for your kind words.
I reg’d 3dsigner because 3Designer was taken. In light of your reasoning given in your last two posts, maybe I have the best one, surprise.
Hats off to Mr. Douglas eh? A Professional in the true sense of the word.
I feel truly blessed to have stumbled upon this thread.
The kindness and guidance offered me is humbling, thankyou Louise, Stephen and MHB
cheers
What do you think of 3Dbooks 3Dbook there are apps for Ereaders that are 3D now and the Koreans developed an actual 3D Ebook and should be on the market soon.
@Tricky, yes, you’re talented!
If the people come back with another offer closer to your counter offer, maybe you could accept that . . . rather than hang on to a domain to find out your asking price isn’t reasonable for the target user . . . It’s nice to do business and have a sale underneath you!

nice starting point, but nothing to be too excited about just yet as i am turning this down… counter will be minimum $xx,xxx
thinking $20k – TOO much versatility – agreed?
higher? – Lower?
@MHB – your thoughts?
@ MHB, Lots of things going on re 3D!
@ DomainNames3D, That’s good news – congratulations! 🙂
Reg’d MultiDimensionalPrinting.com
This technology allows you to “mould images onto printed media around a shaped object, using a combination of infrared heating and vacuum pressure to mould the image into shape and could be used in a number of different applications, including graphic design for car parts, consumer electronics, sports gear, packaging, household appliances, architectural features, fashion products, laptops and mobile phone covers.”
I wonder how much loss in value is caused by hyphens in a good 3d domain name. See some hyphenated names in the blog above and in some comments.
How do you rank these by quality: 3dname, 3-dname, 3d-name, 3-d-name?

I know this seems a bit off topic but since 4K HD TVs are on the rise. This video is at CES 2011 and it is discussed about 3D TVs without glasses and how they have to come from 4K HD TVs.

New Maps Use Military Strength 3D technology
“Compared to the Google Earth view we are used to seeing online, the C3 view is complete and so accurate, you can make out 4-inch objects. In Google Earth, on the other hand, entire buildings are missing.
Some appear only as gray blocks. Google uses humans to draw 3D buildings with something called Building Maker. C3, though, uses airplanes. Whereas, others use lasers to measure from the air, C3 uses cameras and sophisticated software to turn photographs into high-resolution 3D”

@Richard_SF
i appreciate your ‘anonymous’ post, but to be honest with you – i’m wondering if the offer was fake as well.
… for one, after tracking the email (a gmail address) it seems to be a relatively new email address (maybe created for this reason?) and after writing this person back, without actually placing a number to my counter, i have yet to hear back.
it was exciting for a minute or two, but my feet never left the ground.
and let me ask you, since you have obviously spent so much time here posting with us and sharing your other thoughts…
… can you show me ONE OTHER post in the time of this thread, where i have made ANY claims to another offer?
i’ll save you the time on this beautiful sunday and tell you not to bother – because there isn’t one….
.. matter of fact, you can probably ask the rest of everyone here how i normally am, and i’m sure they’ll tell you that if anything, i debate most of the expected prices on certain names and concepts should be lower, so i don’t know what thread it is that you may be reading.
please feel free to prove me wrong – i’m always right here.
This is prob a bit off subject, but I have just come across this news item, and not by itself, apparently apple have just purchased icloud.com for 4.5 million
http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/861947-icloud-com-apple-buys-cloud-domain-name-for-4-5million
I own around 40 icloud domains such as
icloudforum.com
icloudgamer.com
icloudsupport.com
etc
So would this mean that my domains are worthless as the trademark os now owned by apple, r as these domains were pre reged before they purchased icloud.com that these will be worth a bit of $ 🙂
What do you guys think?
Also my http://www.3dphonereview.com site just hit 10,000 visits last night!
Well, I think it depends on whether or not Apple has already established icloud as a TM.
Its free to look up. I looked up icloud (one word) and only came across one trademark. Some company (Xcerion AB CORPORATION SWEDEN)
Not Apple.
You may want to look up other variations of the name, but if Apple does not have a TM on it… I think you would be fine.
Make sure you get content on those domains, otherwise they could be stripped from you like we have read about so many other times before.
There is enough free embedded stuff out there that you can get some semblance of a site up and running to have it hold its own.
Anyways that is just my opinion. If they have no trademarks… then they have no real claim.
If you really want to beat them to the punch (just to piss them off), and you have the $300 to spare…. file for a TM yourself for the names. LOL
That would be funny. Maybe go with copyright. Something to show you have some legal right to the domains outside of the date that it was purchased.
So congrats on your 10,000 mark! Was that just this month or all together?
Cheers
@ slate
Thanks for the advice, very interesting and I will take your advice re copyright, cant hurt 🙂
Yes we are a bit excited, and will be flat out putting up sites with content, based round the 3d phone template, and yes is a grey area re TM I’m sure, as icloud is not yet registered by apple, so in effect we are in the clear for now. And yes wouldn’t that be great to TM “icloud gaming” or something but maybe thats picking a fight just can not win, hmmm
10,0000 since we hand reg’d the site and parked, 6000 last month since new site, 87% unique, the searches for 3d phone, 3d mobile have skyrocketed in the last few weeks, at last, so much to do!
You can point the judges to my site, EmergingDomains, to show a selection of “i” domains. Is Apple going to go after every “i” domain on the planet? But I put your i Cloud domains under, “cloud.”
Boy, your thousands of uniques puts my 1500 on 3DSLaunchTitles to shame! It was only registered April 1st, though, so it’s just getting started.
My German client gave me space on his server for 3DSSpiele.com; a fellow lady domainer in England gave me space for 3DSLaunchTitles.co.uk – people are nice! 🙂

For some reason… I do not see AR or Augmented Reality catching on. It just does not have that *IT* factor that something like 3D has.
It maybe because its a newer thought and has not had time to settle in but either way my personal opinion, I just dont see AR (in any form) catching on.
Sorry…. just my opinion

Don’t have to be sorry mate, I’ve done my research like i do with all my domains and AR is going to be big, very big.

@HGportfolio
I’m no expert on AR mate, I know a lot of people who have the 3DS and its not the 3D they are all talking about, its the Augmented Reality on it, just done a bit of research and a popular one is ARGlasses.com , so ARSpecs might be good mate, I think Giles Coley is more up on this area, might be best asking his advice.

3DPrivateCloud.com looking very nice
Oh, @ Giles, I wanted that one! @Stu, send that over to me! Good pickup!
Whatever Verisign is doing http://forum.icann.org/lists/net-agreement-renewal, its greed knows no bounds. Those dot us domains may become more attractive than we think!
I’ve slammed 3D-TV.US on DNFORUM for $500 to test the water and just received a $350 offer, might keep it for now though and wait for the market to booooooooom!
Cheers
Just been thinking about it, had a look at 3DTV.US and I might do something along those lines.
@Giles,
I would keep 3DChannel.us if i was you, Im sure you can sell that mate, still early days remember.
Cheers
@NameJr.com
Thanks, but there is just no money in .us names, you would be lucky to get $500 for even the best .us name. I am focusing on the best .com names and maybe a few .net or strong cctld’s.
There are some real bargains out there if you look around. I have had 2 offers on Sedo already for SolarGroup.com, but nothing worth getting excited about. The offers were more than I paid for it so thats always good.
Good luck with 3D-TV.US (and other great keyword .US names), I had them on NP and DNF for ages without even as much as a nibble.
I bet you I sell 3d-tv.us in the next 2 weeks with ease. I remember Louise asking for 3d-tv.us off you on successclick.com and you saying “It wont be cheap”.
I stand correct , you said “going cheap”. lol , I’ll show you how its done.
@NameJr.com
Yep “going cheap” is what I said, and I believe it will
I believe you will sell it, but it will go to a domainer, majority of these names will also only sell to domainers, and they are just not willing to pay the big bucks, unless you have premiums and have the right contacts.
You are better off sticking with the money extensions, even .info, .org etc…sure you will sell them, but are never going to get rich off them, unless you manage to sell 100’s of them and that just wont happen, it’s hard enough selling 1 or 2
Good luck though, hope you sell it

Excellent report AGAIN on the Samsung and Real3D deal.
I don’t think your readers realize the dedication you are giving to this category of domains. Finding powerful stories like this: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20063187-17.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=News-DigitalMedia isn’t as easy as one expects. The comments you’re giving here are providing billion dollar proof that 3D/holo/virtual entertainment as the focus of EVERY MAJOR CORPORATION involved in providing “image presentation entertainment mediums”.
Anyone reading your blog, and other bloggers providing current news on this new technology arena, can come away knowing that if they’re smart, and quick, they can invest in domain names that may, just may, make them rich.
This is what I’ve been working on, under this belief, since 2003. It’s great to see respected domainers like yourself educating domain investors on information that can help them decide what domains might be very valuable at some point in the near future. And nobody has done this better than you… I wish I could comment here about how wonderful I am in this sector, but I just can’t because you beat me to it.
We have some other things to discuss, yes?
Peace

Nice post to cover many areas of the printing realm and good catch on the 3D Advertising.
From my personal point of view, I wonder if there would be a calling for my domain(s) that deal with this area.
Desktop3DScanner.com
3DBio-Printer.com (Medical Side of things since they have started printing body parts already)
Yeah I know that it is hyphenated but that is the technical way its been referred to “3D Bio-Printer”
Anyways, more steps for the 3D field as a whole and just my 2 cents.

i left 1 800 3d PrintING.com out there if anyone likes these, really only because these two that i regged are the only two that are technically proper.
i was a little unsure as to which sounded better, but i find myself leaning towards the ‘1 800 Print 3d’ version a little more because it’s declaring an ‘Action’, but in any event, i think these could both be great brandable names for this niche.

I have two nice 3D ones landing in my account in the next 24hrs, they are longish but one already has 1900 exacts a month a growing very fast, the non 3D versions of the two domains gets over 2.2 Million exacts a month, picked them up via go-daddy, expired a week ago. Will put on forum in morning.
Cheers
…..If i get 5% of them typing in my 3D version, I will have over 100,000 exacts a month, my min prediction over the next 3 years.
Cheers
I hope you do.
That would be outstanding numbers for any person. Keep us informed on what is happening on your front.
I have been toying around with different (free) forum platforms on my site. I will probably wind up going VBulletin if it ever becomes financially viable but either which way I think it will still be beneficial for someone (with a lot more know how then I have) to develop a forum for all things 3D (not just domains and how topics effect domains).
Just my opinion

Hi NameJr, Can’t wait to hear what the 3D domains are! You’re smart to wait until they’re in your account . . .
People,
Smart substrates create printing apps – By Ramu Ramanathan Thursday, 05 May 2011
“Advances in paper, board and PVC have lead to the development of new kinds of print, which reduce some of the processes or enhance value.”
– http://www.printweek.com/bulletin/indiabulletin/article/1068586/technology-monitor-smart-substrates-create-printing-apps
You have all your 3D printing domains, which I never registered a single one, but I’m happy I have SmartSubstrates.com. It’s sort of my entry into the digital printing market!
3DStereoscopics .com (is kind of redundant don’t you think?).
I like
3DMobileApplications .com
3DVideoAdvertising .com
I would have love to seen them in the shortened versions (with Apps and Ads)
Anyways, throw them out there and if they stick, great… you will have a shot at making a sale. If not, no big deal… you just need to wait a little longer for things to get built up some more.
Just the way I see it.
Cheers
Hi,
@ Slate
Point well taken about: Stereoscopics,
But,
3DStereoscopy .com sold for: $5,600 on Sedo a couple months ago…
I do own:
3dsearchads .com
As far as “apps”, would have love to have it…but I was real late to recognize this market…so it was ‘long gone’
Thanks very much “Slate”… for your good points made and your advice!
‘D”
Hey if “3DStereoscopy” sold, then you may have something.
Just in my opinion, looking at the name 3D and Stereoscopics kind of mean the same thing. To me its like saying TVMonitors but that is only my opinion and should be take with a grain of salt.
Still send them in and see what happens.
At the worst, they will come back as a no.
Cheers
Well, here are both of them domains that have just landed in my account –
Watch3DMoviesOnline.com – Already 1,900 exacts a month
Free3DMoviesOnline.com – 390 exacts a month
here are the two non 3D versions that just have parking pages
WatchMoviesOnline.com – 2,240,000 exacts a month
FreeMoviesOnline.com – 2,240,000 exacts a month
I said the domains were longish but this time for me its all about them figures and having 5% min of the non 3D version public typing in my 3D version. Its all a case of wait and see but with 3D getting stronger by the day, 3D Movies might start to get on a bigger roll! Anyway its all good fun and only $24 down the drain if I have this wrong.
Cheers.
@Dan & Slate
Stereoscopic means current 3D. i.e. the 3D illusion effect. In 10 years time, or whenever, 3D will mean real three dimensional holograms. The term stereoscopic might have more value then because it will need to be differentiated from the other stuff (and stereoscopic is always likely to be cheaper than real 3D).
The term stereoscopic is not becoming out of date, anway. It’s growing at the same rate as 3D is.

The rise of 3-D printers
http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/05/23/manufacturing-2-0-the-rise-of-3-d-printers/
now, the 3D printers are good only to make prototypes (that is a niche market)
@Dan
good list, I thought this was a great domain – 3dtouch.com ($500) 2011-02-19 sedo
In regards to 3d printing only being good for prototyping, check out shapeways.com, an online store for people to upload 3d designs and have them printed and delivered, or download other peoples designs and print them on desktop printers at home. Looks like this will become a hugely successful business model used in most areas of manufacturing and as 3d printing is mainly a digital technology, this should make it a goldmine for domainers to invest now in 3d printing (3DP) related domains as news is spreading fast on this emerging and disruptive technology.
the (main) today’s limits of 3D printing are: dimensions, colors and materials
that’s good for small-scale art products and prototypes but not for real things

Hi,

Totally agree…
But I think the bottom line is that 25K for “3dprinting .com” will end up being a huge ‘home run’ somewhere down the line.
Either by developing a great website property or by just a domain sale to an “end-user”…down the road.

@Slate, It would be good if you use vBulletin for your forum. Plus, put a link right on the homepage.
vBulletin is a great forum program. I attempted to integrate it once into my site but failed completely. As of right now the traffic flow to that part of the site is not enough to warrant the cost of using the program (for me at least at this time).
I understand that the better the quality the forum the more likely the users but extra funds and time is not a luxury that I have at this moment. I would much rather build with the embedded forum I have now and once a small following is established, then I will move over to a paid forum.
Just my thought process.
But thank you for looking out for me.

‘D’
re: 3D slots anyone?
Someone who believes the answer to that is a resounding yes beat me to it. I ended up with
3DCasinoBlackjack.net
3DCasinoCraps.com and net
3DCasinocraps.net
3DCasinogaming.net
3DCasinoSlots.net
Craps3D.net
Slots3D.net
I read about 4D being the next wave, but they haven’t figured out what it will be, whether a woman’s fragrance or a celebrity’s voice commenting on the slots/online results, so I reg’d
4DCraps.com
4DSlots.com
and a few others, hoping (speculating) they turn out to be real category killers.
@ MHB
3dslots is here, sadly in .de only. Better than nothing I assume. The English term will work in Germany, too.
3D Slots?
Hmmm… didnt they just shut down a bunch of gambling sites?
Just a question
Cheers
we are close to 3,D00 comments here 🙂
I thought that is an insult, 3Doo. Is it 3Doo or 3000?
Titanic 3D Hitting Theaters In April
“There’s a whole generation that’s never seen Titanic as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen,” says director James Cameron in a statement. “And this will be Titanic as you’ve never seen it before, digitally re-mastered at 4K and painstakingly converted to 3D. With the emotional power intact and the images more powerful than ever, this will be an epic experience for fans and newcomers alike.”

@ tptbh, I was joking! Some people make fun of this thread, so I thought that was your comment at first.
Guess what! New hand reg 1/2 hour ago . . . Find3D.com!
It can be the umbrella site for all my 3D sites, plus all your 3D sites, plus all the 3D sites on the web, besides some fast links to 3D glasses, 3D theaters, and 3D movies . . . plus, what if I add a category about 3D domains? It can be all your 3D domain names, but they would have to be broken down by extension . . .
All these domain names, so little time . . . Right now I am adding products to dualScreenphones.com, and my head is exploding with more new concepts: signal boosters, portable battery chargers, screen protectors. It’s too much!

Just my opinion

@ Slate, thanx for approving Find3D hand reg! You know what? I wrapped my head around the cell phone accessories. It’s the future of my domain names. So far, I started loading http://dualscreenphones.com/phone/kyocera

Very quiet on here…might be the calm before the storm should the FT auction come to fruition…
Alert: This weekend, I will be completing the FT FINAL DOMAINS LIST based on Moniker’s professional choices that match Successclick selections.No more info until we get the final last sheet of submissions, which you will see probably on Monday.
Don’t worry, the domains submitted are fantastic!
Thanx for all hard work, @Stephen! I’m sure it isn’t easy coming up with a list to represent diverse categories with so many great names at high and low reserves!
TI’s 1.8Ghz Multi-Core Chip with 3D Support
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/OMAP-4-Cortex-A9-SGX544-PowerVR-Texas-Instruments,12863.html
“The display subsystem will provide resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 (QXGA) on three displays simultaneously, and even offer stereoscopic 3D via an HDMI connection.”
Given that it is a bit quiet on here (the calm before the storm as HGPortfolio pointed out) I’m interested to find out what are everyones most coveted FT domains.
Now, I’m not talking about the 3D.com’s or greenenergy.com’s of this world, not neccesarily the ones that monetarily are the most exciting but the domains which spark your imagination and leave you with a bee in your bonnet thinking “Damn, why don’t I have that one!”
I’ll start the ball rolling with mine:
ARID.COM
I absolutely love this it’s a great brand name and is the exact prodservs for AR ID (Augmented Reality Identification).
I can even picture TV ads for it:
Someone stranded in the desert about to collapse of thirst when they see a rock, they take out their smartphone take a picture of it only to find out that the best bar in the world is located over the next sand dune, a few seconds later they’re sat with their feet up, an ice cold beer getting a shoulder rub. CATCHPHRASE: “Arid when it’s dry”
or..
The sprinklers in an office start going off for no reason, all the guys run to the control panel and stand there baffled at the million and one switches and buttons, a woman comes up takes out her smart phone and with aridapp takes a picture of the panel, which immediately points out the cut off switch. CATCHPHRASE: “Arid when it’s wet”
So, what are yours?
(and please let me know if I need to do this elsewhere MHB 😉
@ Leigh, Okay, my entry is md.tv & mdtv.com. Not for a doctors-type tv show, though it might have its most lucrative application there, but for mobile dtv. And the catch phrase would be, “I want my MDTV!”
But I’m happy of my domains, and proud of the ones on EmergingDomains: i-Hologram, iCloudSupport, Holorati, i-holo.tv, etc.
HTC EVO 3D launches on June 24th for $200

Sony start pushing 3D with bundle deal:
http://www.cinemablend.com/games/E3-2011-Resistance-3-Bundled-With-Sony-3D-Display-32646.html
3D is a fad. Most people aren’t buying them because they’re expensive and you have to wear the glasses for viewing. Not to mention it’s more expensive to produce. By the time the cost comes down, there will be something else. Paramount just announced the new Star Trek movie will not be in 3D, and that’s a major blockbuster.
So we’re all just supposed to wear 3d glasses all the time to use our computer or phone or ATM? Buying a bunch of 3d domains in the hopes they’ll be worth something is just crazy. How long are you going to renew those domains if you can’t sell them?
Now, yes, the best of the best will have value right now like 3dtv.com and such, but I wouldn’t stray too far. The same goes for Cloud. All of a sudden everyone’s buying up cloud this and that to the point it’s over-saturated. The best of the best yes, after that it’s just ignorant speculation.
Let’s see, no one has 3dgraverobbers.com, that’ll be a hit for sure!
@Tom
You may well be right! For most domainers in this forum though, 3D and cloud are not the only areas of technology being invested in. Last week I registered:
Soilfreefarming.com.
Soilfreeagriculture.com.
(both based on my research into scientific and technological developments happening around the world).
I would say its a hobby for most, researching emerging technologies, translating future trends into domains, and for some, developing websites with affiliate marketing links bringing in small amounts of revenue. Yes, obviously hoping in the long run to sell some of them onto end users, but as the outlay for each domain is so low (£4.81), even for renewals, its an area of speculative investment that’s worth a shot.

Sony Announces New 3D Monitor And Glasses In $500 PS3 Gaming Bundle
http://www.crunchgear.com/2011/06/06/sony-announces-new-3d-monitor-and-glasses-in-500-ps3-gaming-bundle/
@Tom
errrm, Tom, in about 3 weeks time maybe half a million Americans will have a glasses free 3D smartphone in their posession (HTC EVO 3D). This is when 3D will, or will not be, revealed as the real thing.
3D may never be mainstream (until holgraphic tv comes along), but to think it will be a passing fad is simply insane. We’re not talking red blue cardboard glasses here anymore, we’re talking 3D without glasses on HD screens.

Just seeing if anyone had gotten word (positive or negative) on their status for their submissions? If I am not mistaken, it is supposed to begin on the 21st (I am pretty sure that is this month in 11 days). I do not expect much from my submissions but I was wondering if anyone else had received word.
Cheers
Hi @ Jack, You redid your site – it looks great! It loads fast, will have to explore it later. I like you put a link to the forum smack dab in the middle of the homepage!
3DDesignSoftware was accepted, out of 3, is what I heard informally. @ Stephen is trying to postpone the auction two weeks, so we can spend more time marketing it – that’s a good idea! When we get word, and get an ad to post online, we can market it. EmergingDomains is going to tweet it.
Glad to hear from you Louise.
I am starting to think that my email is out of whack! I think I am only getting around 10% of the emails and some of my sent emails must be getting dropped off.
I don’t know what the deal is there. I may need to do some house cleaning.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my site. I have been pretty much OCC (out of commission) for personal reasons. I get on the internet while at my desk for short spurts of time, to comment here and read a post there but nothing too serious.
Nice name (3DDesignSoftware). That should do well for you! I presume that it is a .COM? If you don’t mind, what is the reserve on it? Its ok if you don’t want to tell. I am just curious as to what the threshold to the auction will be.
I did submit my play site (3DDatabase) but I put a rather large 20K reserve on it. My thought process is (assuming that it would make it in… which I doubt) but if it sold, great! I have a few other sites that I want to get started on. If it didnt sell, that would be perfectly fine also. I have been playing around with PageRank and I am hoping to get it improved in the next update.
Anways, So I take there is no official word as of yet. I am in the middle of making a post to place right in the middle of my front page for this auction (whether I make it in or not), just to get the word out. I have already made a few scarce posts on Twitter about the auction but I will ramp that up now that we are getting closer. I hope that Stephen gets final details soon so that things dont need to be changed at the last moment as to the date and time.
Just my thoughts.
Cheers Louise
@ Jack, It was quite a bit less than 3DDatabase, but – yes – Moniker auctions put a range for the reserve, so it would defeat the purpose to divulge it publicly. On the topic of whether it sells or not, I’m like you, it’s okay if it doesn’t. I’m that domainer who is in a pickle: need cash to cover renewals; don’t want to reduce inventory either, especially since I am starting to like my domain names!

@Jack and Louise,
Oversee has reported outages on their program (I don’t have details, but doesn’t that sound like DDoS attacks?) and it is preventing them from holding their Barcelona auction. The technical issues, including tremendous work by Successclick and Moniker to research EVERY domain submitted for the FT auction (these aren’t common terms yet, so each have to be researched, and that’s not easy business). This was a mistake on my part for assessing the amount of time to review each domain, and I underestimated some of the brilliant Future Trend domains our participants submitted.
However, all of that has been done, and there are a few stragglers who we’re reviewing because they have powerful domains but reserves to high.
I wanted to do further marketing of the event, and felt I was running out of time, so I requested that our auction be moved back 2 week, just after July 4th. I will update everyone on my blog regarding the extended Future Trend Domain Auction™, and it is actually a better situation for a later date than sticking to the first date, which was way too early for us to do our promotions for the domains being offered.
Jack, your domain WAS accepted at your reserve. It’s a killer 3D domain name and is worth every sent of your reserve price.
I want to state TWO important facts for people wishing to participate in the Future Trend Domain Auction™:
1) If you want your domains to be considered in this FIRST EVER FT auction, it’s wise not to put down six figures on them as your reserves. You might as well wait until this category is hot, which will happen in the next few years, and then introduce them later.
2) What we’re trying to accomplish with this category of Future Trend Domain Auctions™ is enable domain buyers to understand the “coming focus” of domains that don’t fall into the mainstream primary term categories and that these domains are an INVESTMENT in potential popular terms in the future technology that will integrate quickly into our livesl
There is, without a doubt (do your homework), EVERY SINGLE LARGE MANUFACTURER, AD AGENCY, ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, MARKETING AGENCY and even small companies with NEW ideas who are trying to connect themselves with 3D/holo processing. It’s already here… and within the scope of consumer/business awareness, these ideas are going to be be HUGE. It’ already starting now.
If you have submitted domains to the Future Trend Domain Auction™, and you set your reserves into “retail” prices that might be acceptable in three years, you may want to reconsider that. You’ll have that chance once you’re informed that your domains were accepted, and Moniker/Snapname will ask you for your domains reserves that were accepted.
Thank you for your support, and we will give you a full update blog articlle in just a week or so when we get everything locked down, promotions secured, and attention.
Thanks Embee….
Never mind. Looks like noone was interested in it, so I grabbed it!
Hi All,
@Louise, thanks for the heads up on QR’s, wow, I’ve often wondered what on earth they were.
I just reg’d the following;
QRPCs.com
QRSmartphones.com
QRCellphones.com
We’ll see how it goes.
A great article.
JTW.
@ Jack, This QR code thing snuck up from behind me, and it’s already big! Here is a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hlfndE0G74U
First, the guy scans a code on a lamppost, and it opens a map and sends him to a record store, where he scans another code in the window, which opens a video on his mobile phone. Another QR code opens the bus schedule, then he boards a bus.
@ Stephen, What is on the agenda for July? I can’t find the schedule. Looks like Moniker is discontinuing the monthly auctions. If the FTDA is the only one, it would receive more attention.
If you have a moment, may I get feedback on DualScreenPhones? See link.
@Louise
Very nice, like a lot, I have DualScreenMobiles.com
Just reg’d a drop
ArBoutique.com
@ NameJr, thanx! The few of us who register future trend could form a powerful consortium! You have DualScreenMobiles, and David has the definitive “dual screen” domain in dot co extension: DualScreen.co. I think it’s going to be big! DualTouchScreenLaptop.com happened to be available, so I grabbed it. It has searches. The .net is taken. Even software can split a single screen tablet into dual screen, like, Taposé
Taposé – Brings the Microsoft Courier to iPad
http://www.padgadget.com/2011/04/30/tapose-brings-the-microsoft-courier-to-ipad/
Plus, the Barnes & Noble Nook is a dual screen, with the smaller ticker window forming a 2nd screen, on a tablet device.

I took a chance with this combo, just when you thought dual-display was the the limit
TriDisplay.com
I dont think TriDisplayPhones and TriDisplayGadgets.com will work with a word like this, that’s why I just stuck with the short direct word, I guess it could apply do a variety of gadgets with the triple displays, laptops, desktops, phones etc
I quite like this as you can form a triangle with it and place it on your desk, like an alarm clock lol

@Louise
Nice site! Hope you sell some phones!
Hi, Thanx for positive feedback – I NEEDED that! It’s two months worth of coding hurdles, simple as it looks! But I might have to make the landing page more traditional, about ALL the new phones.
Guess what? We missed a big future trend term: MultiScreen. It means, streaming video to multiple devices, like television, tablet, desktop, and smartphone. @JTW, DualScreenVideo made me think of that – nice one! TriDisplay, nice one, @ Giles!
I checked, MultiScreen. It is taken in most extensions. Multi-Screen is taken except in .org, and MultiScreenVideo, MultiScreenStreaming, both taken. But now I am aware of the technology. It’s not dual screen, like a physical device, but means streaming video or games over different devices:

Hey everybody
i have posted these names in this space before, but with Microsoft’s announcement (and beta) of Windows 8 with full touch and gesture support making all the headlines, i was wondering if anyone thinks these names i have stashed away are on the verge of climbing to a higher level.
Windows 8 will probably not be released for about another year, but it’s the vision that seems to have gotten clearer (especially with Kinect) and i’m thinking these names are primed for good things…
• TouchAndGesture/com
• GestureInteraction/com
• Gesture-Computer/com
• Gesture-Computing/com
• GestureComputer/net
• GestureComputing/net
I know the last four names (hyphens and nets) are flawed, but the first two appear to be headed for ‘premium’ status’ (?)
Does anyone else agree?
Your HONEST feedback is appreciated.
Thanks everybody.
Thanx, @ NameJr and HGPortfolio for the positive encouragement – I NEEDED that. Simple as it appears, it took two months of coding challenges to get it there . . .
@ JTW I like DualScreenVideo, plus your QR names. I said, “Jack,” but meant, JTW.
@ NameJr, DualScreen.mobi is nice. It could be an application website.
@ Giles, TriDisplay is nice and short – like! Did you happen to notice the big deal in “screen,” is multiscreen? Those domains are well registered. Even MultiScreenVideo and MultiScreenStreaming. Who got there before us?
Yesterday I had a lowball offer on Phones3d(.com) and countered nearly 20k to which all negotiations were cancelled. What is a 3d domain like that worth? When I compare the afternic list of sales this week, 20k seems a stupid amount to ask. 3dphones.com has had 14 offers so far, and I wonder what the highest has been to date. Every phone company could benefit a year from now with a straightforward descriptive name like that but phones3d?
What happened to the Future Trend Auction? I thought it was supposed to be on by now, Any updates>
Bought 3Dbooks.ca and have seen a big development of 3D apps for ebooks ect. the koreans have already developed this technology and it is only a matter of time before 3d video books are the norm.
I have 3dBookStores.com
🙂
You know what, @ 3d Domain Names? You should just develop 3D Bookstores to Google’s new bookstore:
Google eBooks Affiliate program – Open for business
http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2011/06/google-ebooks-affiliate-program-open.html
@ HG Portfolio, Congrats on your offer for Phones3D! It’s a nice domain name. The phrase, “phones 3d,” gets: 170 global searches, 36 US searches, with a CPC of $2.94. The phrase, “3d phones:” 1,600, 720, with $3.23. But I think Google reads it interchangeable. Me personally, I sacrificed 3DDesignSoftware, my best domain, to the auction at a low reserve, because I want the $$ to help defray my renewal fees on other domains I want to develop, like DualScreenPhones/com.
BTW, yet ANOTHER dual screen phone rumored:
Mystery dual screen LG handset snapped, possibly Flip II
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/40545/lg-qwerty-dual-screen-android-phone
Oh, my goodness. I can get rid of all my domains and just work on dual screens!
@DMPartners, Future Trend Domain Auction ™ is extended into July, because three reasons: (1) the determination of each domain and research required was properly allocated – it’s the first of its kind. Cut the people some slack! (2) @ Stephen suffered a really, really bad, serious injury, which infringed his ability to use the computer and type, plus he had to make the rounds of time-consuming doctor visits (3) advancing the date just a bit will allow us to promote the thing better.
i stopped trawling the net after 3d news a little while back (still get my google alerts),got all i need as far as i am concerned in 3d domains but i decided to trawl once more in a nostalgic look back over the last year or so
and i came across this
1001moneymakers.com/www-3d-porn-flick-flicks-flix-com-net-domain-s-for-sale-2000000-00-3.html
seriously i really would love to see this happen as it would mean i could not only set myself up for life but every single member of my family even distant relatives.
on another note i am once again in the process of shifting yet another .info 3d name that i was told not to bother with and would never sell so its an even sweeter sale if it goes through proving the sceptics wriong is always nice 🙂
nothing back for me on the ft auction but then tbh i was a little hestitant in forwarding my best at low reserves and my very best imo i didnt submit anyway good luck all in getting names placed and look forward to the outcome of the auction giving 3d domains a positive boost 🙂
Guys
Should i renew these two –
3DSmartphone.co
3DSmartphones.co
Not sure how this .Co thing is panning out.
Ive also done my NameJr.com site again, lol, made it look a bit better (till I change it again next month)!
None of my comments are being posted! Just changed my name back to my old name to see if that makes a difference.

DEAR FT DOMAIN AUCTION SUBMITTERS:
Don’t ask questions here about what’s going on with the Future Trend Domain Auction™.
I won’t necessarily see them, but I will if you use your head and ask the question on my blog at http://www.successclick.com. Makes sense, yes?
I will be posting an updated article on the progress of this groundbreaking auction next week. Or you can write me personally, and I know you have my email address to do this, and I will answer your questions.
The biggest hurdle we’ve had to overcome is that thousands of domains have been submitted, and half of them were terms that we’d never heard before, so we all had to do research to see if they were legit. This is hard work, and we found that a lot of domains that a normal auction domain review team would have ignored, but we spent the time to investigate and research further.
My only request, please be fair and smart. Email me, or post your question on my blog regarding the Future Trend Domain Auction™. Thanks to Louise for at least presenting some updated info she asked me personally.
thanks
Stephen Douglas

Hi @ NameJr, Nice job on your new look!!! Bright, neon colors which glow against a black background! Only, your news articles are missing. Don’t you think the blog with news highlights like you post here enhance your product? Then prospective investors can see the value of the domains. That’s why I added a couple at the bottom of the list:
http://emergingdomains.com/3d
http://emergingdomains.com/3d
http://emergingdomains.com/mobile-dtv . The 3D links I took from this thread! 🙂
3DVideoStreaming a nice domain! Netflix and Youtube3D is going to be streamed to the Nintendo 3DS, so that would be nice news to highlight on that website . . .
@ Stephen, Take your time – we know you’re working through an injury to review as many domains as possible to be fair to all the participants. Let us know when the Future Trend Domain Auction™ has a firm date!
Interesting articles, @ NameJr! A few days ago I hand reg’d:
MultiscreenAd.com
MultiscreenApp.com
and I’m glad I got in on the singular – the plurals were already taken!
Today I registered the dot net of PainandSuffering. It seems like that’s what we’re doing alot of until this Future Trend Domain Auction™ gets under way!

“Not sure how this .Co thing is panning out.”
Me neither, not sure I’ll be renewing most of mine because .CO thinks they don’t need to be competitive and lower their price after first year. 29.99 is pretty steep. For some of mine I registered the .US and think I’ll just go that route. I think .CO is great, probably the best ccTLD, but I think when people register a .CO they’re really saying they’d rather have the .COM.
.COM will always be the best, there’s no use denying it. Also, with .CO passing the 1 million mark, good news but after July when folks have to renew them will those numbers remain? I think not, especially after the domainers have to pay their renewal fees. They already dropped a ton if they bought up hundreds of domains at the start and now after a year they’re forced to pay that again. So most likely the numbers will fall below a million. Mine don’t renew until OCT. so I’ll just watch the news and see what happens. At most I’ll just keep a few of my best.
My thoughts on Future Trends
I read in several places that these should be a small percentage of your portfolio. And 3d/cloud and such are in this category. I think 3d is a fad, it’s come and gone since the 50’s and it will do so again. Not everyone likes it (causes fatigue, and other problems when watching) which hinders its ability to become mainstream and it’s unhandy, need glasses for true results.
Blu-ray is still trying to take over DVD and 3d is only done on a very small percentage of films. Glasses-less is a long ways from replacing regular 3d. So with that said, how long do you plan on renewing your long list of 3d domains before these domains will be worth anything? I think that’s where the small percentage of Future Trends in your portfolio comes into play, because if you have all or most, you won’t be seeing any return any time soon.
Only the best domains (3DTV.COM, 3DGLASSES.COM) in 3d will be worth anything right now and buying the less generic domains like 3DCASIONBLACKJACK.NET aren’t going to be worth anything for years to come, if ever. By the time/if 3d gets popular it will become something else (4D?, holo?) And buying in TLD’s other than .COM .NET .ORG .INFO, like anything will be just background noise. Secure (shorter, more generic) 3DCASION.COM/NET/INFO or 3DBLACKJACK.COM/NET/INFO they should see good results now. At least until 3D disappears again.
@Tom
I do agree with you on some points. There are some very good domains apart from 3DTV.com and 3DGlasses.com , on here people have ones like 3DChannel.com , 3DLaptop.com , 3DPhone.com, 3DSmartphone.com etc etc…. This is the start of 3D and it will take over everything in the next year or two. For now I wouldn’t buy anything unless it is a .com and is one or two words max.
Cheers
Re: 3dVideoStreaming.com
Hey Stuart… how’s it going buddy??
I have something similar – but different tech… arguably bigger once it actually arrives:
• 4KVideoStreaming.com
and for the shortness, i have:
• 4KVS.com
**… and didn’t you just write “one or two words MAX”… 3dvideostreaming is three, no?

Sorry, I mean to say, check multi screen in Google news – you’ll see what I am talking about. There is lots of good opportunity. If you find a good name, register it yourself.

“As 3-D Falls From Favor, Director of ‘Transformers’ Goes on Offensive to Promote It”
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/22/business/media/22transformers.html?src=recg
Quite a number of people have been cocky over the past 3 months claiming their portfolio is going to make them millions, investings in all these “holo” and 3-D and 3D-variations. I warned you. But all of you insist you know better.
I would be slightly more modest in your calculating. We are in a major silicon valley new dotcom bubble – and tons of denial about it. I feel the same about the 3D domain craze.
And now with the new suffixes to come — whose going to now panic and start to go seeking a 3D suffix? Word to the wise: Don’t even think about it, unless you enjoy throwing away money.

How does 3D enhance LG’s range of smartphones?

@quicksite
We’ll get a better idea of whether 3D is going to take off over the next couple of months and the launch of the glasses free 3D smartphones.
Holo is a completely different ball game and unrelated to whether or not 3D is a fad. The question with holo names is when the tech will appear. If coms still have value, a few of us here will be rich indeed.
Re: 3d phones.
For me it will all come down to the issue of eyestrain. If my friend is one of the first to buy an HTC EVO 3D, and shows it off to everyone by demonstrating its ‘wow’ factor, when it comes to upgrading phones, it’ll probably be a no brainer. But if that friend, after a few weeks, starts reporting focussing and eyestrain issues, I am going to think twice. I tried the Nintendo 3DS and it instantly played havoc with my focussing. We need to see the long term effects of using auto stereoscopic devices. If everyone gets used to it then it has a future. Otherwise….

I think you’ve nailed it. Personally, I think the issue of eye strain and 3D is generally overhyped and might be a self-fulfilling prophecy to a large extent (i.e. mass hysteria).
The problem is supposed to be that the brain is having to generate a 3d image from a 2D flat surface, and that apparently generates motion sickness in between 10 and 20 % of people.
Actually, because 3D is closer to reality than 2D, it should be having to work less hard. If you wen’t back pre-civilisation, to most of human history, the only 2D depictions of 3D reality would be crude cave drawings. If you took such a caveman and mad him sit through a 2D movie, he’d porbably feel nauseus at the end with his brain trying to process reality in a flat 2D form.
When people get used to looking at 3D, I doubt if there will be much of a problem. However, regarding the 3D mobile phones, the nauseus feelings might be more real and persistant because people will be looking up from their phones a lot, switching from looking at 3D movies, to 2D tasks, etc, which might make the brain dizzy.
I doubt if 3D will become ubiquitous in the sens that all visual information will be in 3D, but that’s all to the good for the value of our 3D domains – if everything was in 3D, 3D names would be worthless.

I think more power to you all if you can make a buck off the 3D train, which is what your aim is. But you’re really straining credibility here with your caveman rationales and “overhyped” dismissals. Are mass audiences so stupid that they are staying away from not ONE but TWO projected-to-have-been-Hollywood blockbusters this summer due to 3D? — Are you not in denial? — They stayed away and the directors and producers are now addressing the 3D factor in major Hollywood Trade magazines (online) — and you want to dismiss it as overhype?
— And that really they should get their butts into the seats because it’s really a much better experience for them if only they would just realize it’s more natural, and we are still cavemen in this respect and just getting ready for the BIG TRANSITION?
Really?
Wouldn’t it be at least slightly better for you to just cautiously adjust your goldmine expectations ever so slightly? Generally speaking, audiences tell you what they like. Very few product movements forcefeed a mass audience medicine they need to take and they’ll realize it was for their own good.
This is why I have found this entire thread full of reality-deniers. It’s the SCALE at which this thread has had this hyper Barnum Bailey dimension, vs just looking it at a niche. If anything, the shift from touchscreens as a format vs clamshell pushbutton cell phones was the justifiable “CAVEMAN evolution” worthy of wildman domain name speculating of touch this touch that. Because THAT was and is truly a massive paradigm shift.
To me there’s only so much good that can come from psyching yourself into believing your cashout dream of the Cayman Islands by your overhyping the same mirage to everyone who posts here, so you can get backup, and try to move the goalpost as though from here you’re going to help generate the movement that helps create your gigantic payoff. There IS some value to having some modesty when overhyping the future. But it’s a free world. Do as you like.
NameJr
That’s a close one
I guess it depends on how many of these 3d phones there will be and if will one dominate that market like the iphone.
Of course it might be the iphone.
@MHB
Take the 3D out , what is better
Phone.com
or
Phones.com
NameJr — though from my comments you might think I’m the last person you’d want feedback from, way way way up in comments a few months back I had made a huge distinction between the few domains that focused on places to go to buy the specific devices — vs anything tied to forms of content.
In any case, here is a take on your question, since I believe you are speaking of one of the very few categories that have a lot of merit. 3D phones: where to get them, research about them, comparing them, even scientific articles addressing the question of “do they cause migraines from eye strain” etc … but clearly a 1-stop shopping domain for s very specific category that then contains many many products beneath it.
(( Take the 3D out , what is better
Phone.com
or
Phones.com ))
To me, that is a false construct in this case, and I would offer that 3Dphones is, for you, the far better and more consumer meaningful name.
But when you say “phone”, the reason it’s a false construct — and thus not helpful as a comparison from which you should assess 3Dphones — is that “phone” has long been established for over a century as both a verb and a noun.
we do both things: We phone someone. And we carry a phone or phones.
I happen to use the service phone.com, but it wouldn’t matter one way or the other. Never in my wildest dreams would I associate the singular phone.com as a place to buy or discuss or do something with phones. My sentence alone said it. with phones, with objects, with devices. It sounds more like “phone services” which are talking, faxing, voicemail, transcribing, all sorts of things that you do with a phone. All the verb functions we associate with phoning someone.
So, to me, I think there would be an instant consumer recognition that if you said where would you go to look for the latest model of phones:
phone.com
or
phones.com
consumer would say: phones.com ……….. hands down
and if you asked “where would you go to get voicemail, call forwarding, virtual switchboard, conference calling, faxing, and phone # parking services?” —
phone.com
or
phones.com
they would say, hands down,…. phone.com — because the singular is the service, the plural are the devices.
3Dphone sounds like you’ve got 1 of them left to sell on ebay, 3Dphones sells like the powerful category that handles 100 devices and more.
@Quicksite
Thank you very much for that take on it, superb breakdown.

As with most, i pretty much missed all the great 3d domains, but i found and interesting article online, the other day relating to the comments about 3d gaming causing headaches
http://www.dur.ac.uk/news/research/?itemno=11884
We need a update on the Future Trend auction. The dates have passed Is it on or off,
@ NameJR, MHB, Quicksite, Isn’t the fact that typing in, “3D P,” without quotes, brings up “3D Phone,” singular, as the 2nd entry in the pull-down menu on Google, significant in leaning toward the singular? The search is for, 3D Phone SINGULAR, instead of 3D phones.
BTW, congrats to 3DPhoneReview for attaining a page 1 listing for a search on “3D Phone!” That is a person who, inspired by this thread, registered 3DPhoneReview in August of 2010, developed it, and now has traffic and a page 1 listing for a desirable search, 3D Phone.
Which is better? to have a great domain name? Or to be ranked with a lesser domain name for a popular search?
3D-Mobile-Phones.org , ranks #4, page 1 for a search for “3D phone,” higher than even, 3DPhoneReview at #7.
The plural of that obscure domain ranks just as high, so I guess it doesn’t matter, except for branding value. That means, you’re right.
That pigeon poop – 3D-Mobile-Phones.org – has #4 rank on Google.
39 comments to go!
@quicksite
Sounds like you took my comments quite personally. I’m not sure I even disagreed with you. I just said that the issue of eye-strain and motion sickness might be over-hyped, but that we’ll find out soon enough with the reception of the 3D smartphones.
I doubt if that is what is keeping cinema goers away this summer, anyway. It’s more likely over-priced tickets for bog standard films. You seem to have picked up a couple of articles bashing 3D and see it as proof that you didn’t miss out in failing to register any decent names.
As I’ve repeated here before, I’ve spent probably somewhere in the region of $3,000 on 3D domains, and thus far I’ve gotten back close to $50,000 in affiliate earnings. So fad or not, I’ve done quite well already. My network of sites is already getting a flood of traffic from evo 3d phones. When you think that in 5 years time, there will probably be at least 10,000 x the number of people with 3D displays, then I’m quite excited actually.
cheers.
@quicksite just need to add that you seem to be suggesting that I and others here are talking up 3D in order to give value to our domains i.e. lying and making false claims. Actually I’m still in the business of buying names, rather than selling them, so it is not in my interests at all to hype up 3D in order to make a buck. I’m an affiliate marketer, not a domain seller.
cheers.
@ Buy 3D Phone
“I’ve spent probably somewhere in the region of $3,000 on 3D domains, and thus far I’ve gotten back close to $50,000 in affiliate earnings”
Is it possible to disclose your affiliate provider? You might not agree to share income sources with potential competitors, but I am naive enough to ask. I am looking for affiliates esp. for the German market.

So, I have been playing around with Google PageRank for the last 3 to 4 weeks for my 3D Database site. I never did this before so I thought I would give it a go.
Well, in 3 to 4 weeks time, maybe 6 hours a week, to find and develop a few links by hand I was able to get a PR 2.
I know its not ground breaking stuff, but but for the amount of time I put into it, I think its pretty cool and I just wanted to share with you.
I pretty much figured out how to find high PR blogs/forums that are do follow. Many are auto accept. Now I see how those companies that make a business out of placing links to high PR sites do it. I still have more research to do!
Just wanted to put in my 2 cents

http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/sony-3d-augmented-reality-201106291252.htm
This is the tech which involves tracking your head movement so that the image moves as your head moves, creating the illusion (with 3d) that you are looking at a real object (or a real hologram) behind the screen.
Before anyone get’s pedantic and says it’s not true holographic, it doesn’t matter at all for the purposes of the valuing of holo domains. So long as the public and the producers call it holographic, then our holo names will be worth something very soon.

3DJOURNO has some strong 3D and 3-D names locked up for many years. Interested?
The 3D tennis was great. Cliched I know, but it really was like being on court with them.
For the most part, the 3D cameras were positioned behind the players at just above ground level. The higher angles and close-ups were generally only used for slow motion replays.
It really made you realise how quick the players are, how hard they hit the ball and how fast it comes to them over the net, and the speed of their reactions to play it back.
I’ve been to one live tennis match before in my life (Murray vs Henman in Switzerland), and this was a 1000 x better experience. Apart from the atmosphere of course – there were only about 10 other people in the cinema. But as I said, you could trick yourself into believing you were ‘there’ at the match.
When they get the tech right for the big glasses free screens with multiple viewing angles, nobody is ever going to want to watch sport in 2D. Oh, and I sat through both semi-finals for 6+ hours continuously and didn’t feel any eye strain or motion sickness at all (even though I get travel sick after more than 15 minutes in a car or a bus).

In 2015, 3D TV Penetration Hits 25%
http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=153395&nid=128442
I popped in to check out the new LG 3d phone yesterday. There certainly didn’t seem to be any fanfare announcing its arrival aka the iPhone. Noticeably, the display the phone was attached to, had above it a glasses free 3Dtv display, the first I’ve seen. Basically, for me, 3D on phones boils down to ‘novelty or necessity’. It does make for an amazing novelty; films, photos, games, interface, but is it necessary? Unless every phone adopts 3D, as with touchscreens, might it remain a niche product? Come my upgrade, I’m not sure I’d be swayed into getting one, or at least I don’t get excited by the added dimension as I’m not sure it enhances the mobile experience, only changes elements for the sake of it. Then again I’m not in the age bracket of 16-30 where I imagine most users will appreciate the ‘wow’ factor more than me!

Has anyone heard from Stephen Douglas?
I have been going to his site and asked a few questions but with the admin approval thing they either get lost or never approved.
I was just wondering if there has been anything put out. Right now I consider the whole thing on very shaky ground. Last I heard it was supposed to happen after the 4th but that is only 2 days away. Still no solid word that I know of, so no promotion time and that could be dangerous with the way today’s markets and auctions are going.
Just my point of view.
Cheers
It looks as if the FT auction is dead It was a great idea but never had the right backing, And its to soon anyway, 3D domains are in the 5000- 35000 range and that’s it. I have great names and only 1 bite and that was yoga3d.com
WE are years away from bug money and the auction would have failed,
MO
@dmpartners
The auction is not dead and is still going ahead, just read the updates on Successclick, its just taking longer than expected and Stephen has also had an injury which has slowed things down.
The auction is too early to make the big $$ but everyone is aware of that and Stephen is too and has made that clear from the start…so if you are after the big score, dont submit your names to this auction…
Has anyone even received a email saying there domains were excepted? It was a great idea to early for sure, I submitted 10 premium names with 0 response,
Last I recall hearing was that they where attempting to push it back after the 4th holiday. That is in a little over a day away. The names still need to be sorted out (i.e. they need to contact the people who names would be in the auction). The contracts need to be signed and returned. Then there also needs to be a bit of promotion (in order to attract people to the auction).
So far as I know, no one has received word of a concrete date that the auction will be held. That should be the #1 goal (in my opinion). They still need to present a list of names that would make it in the auction and inform the owners. To my knowledge this was still being worked on.
After that, contracts need to be signed and returned… Still waiting on the names that have been accepted in the auction first.
I don’t know if it is still on or not. I have made a few posts but they seemed to be lost or not accepted by the admin. Then again, I do ask for specifics in my questions and maybe there are none at this time?
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers
@ Stephen mentioned something to the effect power domainers coming on board to legit the auction, with more on the way last week.
Wow, Happy 3,000 posts guys, that has to be a record 🙂
@DMPARTNERS:
We have posted information on how the Future Trend Domain Auction™ was to be held on our website. If you don’t subscribe to our newsletter or read our website (or subscribe to Domaining.com), you’re not going to see the updates and you’re going to make uninformed and misleading statements like you just did.
The auction has been moved back for a myriad of reasons:
1) The extensive details of what each domain represents has taken a huge amount of our time to research and determine if these domains are worth what the submitter sets as their reserve.
2) If the submitter to the auction is asking for $100,000 as their reserve, but is basing that on their interpretation of the current excitement on 3D prodservs, that DOES NOT MEAN THEIR DOMAIN IS WORTH SIX FIGURES.
3) We have to still contact many submitters who have great domains, but need to bring their reserves down a bit, or a lot. This isn’t a “forced” request. You can pull out of the auction anytime you want if you don’t like the terms, and I recommend that wholeheartedly.
4) We already have a list of domains mutually accepted by SnapMon and Successclick that we agree to put into the Future Trend Domain Auction™. However, we have about 20 people whose domains are very good, but they’re asking retail prices for them, when we still haven’t discovered if “3D” domains have “Matured” yet.
Remember, none of us know, including my company Successclick.com, whether FT domains, whether they are 3D, Holo, Solor, robotics, etc are even ready to be “big” enough to get fair bids and selling prices on the domains. This auction is a “test” auction to find this out. Don’t put your best domains up here at low reserves if you’re going to cry when they sell at 1/10 their value that is established 2 years from now.
Submit domains that you want to “test”, but are your only FT domains. This auction is for heavy FT domain investors, not domainers who decided to ‘get in on the trend” and pick up 10 FT domains they “think” are valuable.
So DMPartners, before you say the auction is not going to happen, it might be wise for you to just email me, since you have done this 5o times before so that I can help you. I’m surprised you posted your comment.
There is NO DATE set for the auction, and there shouldn’t be any anxiety about this, because these are domains that will only grow in value as each month passes. What’s your hurry? We want to do it right. Oversee, Moniker and Snapnames are working with me like professionals to make this auction successful. However, this auction is like no other domain auction EVER held before.
If you haven’t been contacted yet to be told your domains have been accepted, it’s because we’re finalizing the whole group of domains to be listed, then everyone will be contacted, given the option of continuing in the auction by registering at SnapMon, listing their domains at a reserve price they can live with, and agreeing to present a 150 word description of EACH domain accepted, backed up by legit news links describing their domain’s generic prodserv power. This information will be presented to anyone, especially marketing companies and end users, as a PDF file report they can download off the SnapMon sites that announce the Future Trend Domain Auction™.
I know Embee has reached an amazing milepost in domain blog comments. He set records that won’t be beat for years. However, Successclick.com has been working to actually organize and administrate the auction in regards to pushing the event, educating everyone on how it will fly, and guiding them in the process. This is NOT and auction that has a date ‘set in stone”, because our domains aren’t valued in that manner, first of all.
This is an auction that requires SUPPORT and fair treatment as the time gets closer to announce the official date, release the domains finally agreed upon, keep all the auction sellers up to date on the info, and allow them every opportunity, as much as they provide their own efforts in following the path we need to take to launch this ship.
If you don’t want to help hoist the sails, then stay on the dock and wave your hanky at your friends as they pull away into an open ocean looking for new lands.
The sellers in the Future Trend Domain Auction™ are just like those intrepid explorers 500 years ago who didn’t have a letter from the King that said “You will discover gold on this date, at a location we haven’t found, we guarantee you’ll make it there safely, and when you do, you owe us a percentage.”
We make nothing here… but it’s important to us to hold this auction because we’ve been investing in these domains for almost 8 years. We think, based on Embee’s blog article comment records, that this might be the time to “go exploring”. Those who have weak knees can stay at home.
cheers! (and read our blog or email me if you have questions).
Thanks Stephen for the update simple way to get your reserves at a more reasonable price is to set them all at fixed price level, 5k 10k 15k 25k and 50k that’s it. Then get this thing going, To spend all this time doing research is a waste IMO.
Based on 3dprinting.com being sold at 35 thousand which was many months ago figure out what a good reserve price level is and suggest it to the submitted domain owners. I submitted yoga3d.com and feel 50k is a good reserve, If you felt otherwise send me a email and say I suggest the next level down 25k or 10k whatever, If i don’t agree Im out and so on,
5 levels of reserve that’s it, And let it fly.
Good luck was not bashing just starting a small fire,
Smart guys regged adcloud or cloudadvertising dot com (e.g.) years ago. Well, cloudadvertisement dot com was left for me. It is in Bido auction right now with 3 days 1 hour left.
I trust you appreciate this information regarding the unlucky auction date around Patriot Day. Thanks.
Paid $8 on godaddy auctions for:
Desktop3dprinters.com
So right here, right now history repeats itself.
Who are you expecting to show up at the auction with $50K and an urgent need for Yoga3D.com?
Stephen should charge a submission fee to evaluate each domain not refundable if the domain is rejected
Then anyone who’s reserve is not met because it was unrealistic should be subject to a 10% fee for wasting time that could have been used to close a more realistically priced lot
And for big reality check, everyone should submit your lists to Buy Domains to see which ones they find saleable and what is the liquid value of the domain bottom line is if it doesn’t sell at auction your options are to keep dreaming, drop it, take your chances on Bido or accept Buy Domains offer
Keep in mind
90% of the recent inventory at auctions got no bids
The average selling price for a domain is $500
None of the folks on this thread will be bidding on these names
If you are counting on Schilling, Ham etc, if they valued these names you’d never have a chance to own them
They also know that the cartel has you by the balls, so they can claim these on the drop or from Bido for $10
Your only hope is an end user. Try to identify a prospect target for each domain with a reason to buy and business case. Get at least 2 and contact them to alert them that an internet asset that is one of a kind and offers great value to the company in your space that acquires it. Tell them there is an auction and that competitors (name them) have already expressed interest and you’d hate to see them miss out
Of course no one here knows how to do that, has the confidence to do that, nor could make business case to justify ROI. But if you did call, you would probably never get to a decision maker- they might pass you off to their webmaster or simply state as most I call do, we already have a domain that is our brand. We’ve spent a fortune making this brand known and meaningful. Why should we fix what’s not broken.
I also suspect many of these firms will refer you to corporate in Japan.
If it were easy 90% of auction inventory wouldn’t be left unsold.
You are doing exactly what the mobi folks did. One guy registers a name and quotes a price. This inspires you to register another name at twice his price because if he is getting this for that, I can get that for this. Can’t you see it’s like play school– you are least informed subject matter experts but end up enabling each others expectations that had no basis in fact to begin with.
It’s not what you think it’s worth, it’s what a buyer thinks it’s worth.
You have created an imaginary market that is missing the one thing that should be proven and assured before the first name is registered: That is market demand. Show me the demand.
For years group like this bought dotTV names assuming the broadcast industry would jump at the chance to rebrand for digital success. NBC- they’ll pay a million. Other than in your mind TV=NBC done deal, where was any research that showed consensus that TV stations must be identified as TV. The broadcast industry rejected dotTV. Are they dumb? What do they know that you don’t know? Probably that TV is not TV but a country code with residency, tax and litigation handcuffs. Further the deal is shaky- there is no guarantee of ownership thus the new TLDs that they can own and limit liability on. With regulations closing in and ICE seizing sites all over town, they can just identify mischief originating from those servers and take every single domain on the server down. You have no recourse and no standing.
I hate to burst bubbles. But I shed tears when I see comment after comment revealing the money that you are loosing. Money is very hard to make. But when you have money that isn’t used to make money, I’d do some soul searching to understand my mistakes before investing in another one.
So here’s my scoreboard:
30,000 3d= $300K
Unsold listed speculative domains 10million = $100mm a year (in liquid terms $6 from Buy Domains, maybe $28 bido- or drop or continue to renew at $10 a year knowing then max liquid value is $6)
DotMobi= $50mm cost 0 value
Sedo parking off dream domains- $50mm a year
So there you have it $200,300,000 from your pocket to theirs…
200m would buy a global ad campaign that would be in your face and impossible to miss which would educate end users about domains and open the doors for the 500 business people in this business to realize billions
what else would 200m buy
Digital Cost-Cutter Coupons.com Raises $200 Million.
Planned Coal Plant Could Cost $200 Million In Health Costs, Report …
Arnold Schwarzenegger Divorce Could Cost Him $200 Million! – OK …
$45 Yard Sale Find Turns Out to Be $200 Million Worth of Lost …Ansel Adams Photos
$200m just bought MySpace
But your $200 mm bought nothing. Don’t you think your batting average suggests you suck at this.
Owen I did not get that can you say it again?
Wow! This is the happening place over here! Enjoy these long, thoughtful comments.
@ Stephen, thanx for update!
@ DM Partners, $50,000? $50,000? Wow! I submit 3DDesignSoftware at low xxxx, and that’s an old domain that has huge searches and ads . . . any workout instructional that offers 3D perspective on difficult positions would be interesting, tho. Nice name! May I venture, put it at 1/10th of that.
4 letter 3d.coms worth 50k at least or I keep it that simple
Well, I am just glad that I am not the only person who put a large reserve on their domain name. LOL
I don’t really care is it sells or not in the auction. If it doesn’t sell at auction,
I know that 3D Database will do well as a stand alone site and have it comprise of everything 3D which is the direction that I am having it go now (a database of 3D so to speak).
Or there is probably some company/companies that is/are planning on making a 3D Database software and this will be the logical name for them.
Either which way, I know the payoff will be more then the very small amount I paid for it (hand reg). I could either get 20K at auction (my reserve price) or wait till later to sell it directly to a company who is developing that kind of software (probably for more but it still all speculative).
Now, I do appreciate the info that Stephen laid out. I wish (for my self at least) that the information would be a little more loose/open/free coming.
I understand that there is no assigned date. That is a good thing to know. Last I heard it was going to be pushed back 2 weeks which would put it this next coming week! That could be a problem and I am sure you can see why.
So having an open ended date right now is still a good deal.
Thank you for clarifying that Stephen.
I think people are a little antsy mostly to figure out what domains have made it into the auction. For me, I want to know when the auction will be so that I can help promote it in my own way.
Still being left in a pseudo limbo with information coming out slowly is not fun for anyone. A simple… “No word yet” or “Still working at it” clears up a lot when people start asking.
Not trying to start troubles, just my 2 cents.
Its just how I see it.
Cheers
@ DMPartners, you may be right, but the auction is a joint effort of the community, and submitting your best at high reserve can negatively impact the promotion of the entire thing! Think: some people, like moi, submit at sacrifice to make this a success, to generate interest, to make investors who feel like they might like to jump in, but there is less choice out there and they have missed the boat, have a chance to achieve a stake in future trend. Plus, some people submit good names at no reserve, period! What about them? $50,000 paid for one domain drains investment potential from the rest of the list, plus, it is, was, and will be the goodwill of those who submit no or low-reserve domains which will help market the auction as a great opportunity for end users and investors alike . . . Wait until the 2nd or 3rd auction after the success is proved and “future trend” is well-established to submit your premium five-figure domains. Plus, isn’t that reasonable from a business perspective?
Having said that, 3DDatabase seems attractively priced at 2o grand reserve. That is less than half of what you are looking for.
Hey I rant, I ramble nobody is going to pay attention. Until I point back to this thread a year from now.
That’s when everything you think you knew about the web, TV and personal computing will be useless.
Television and web will converge. Maybe then people will realize that the web IS television. It is a video show and tell medium. Everything will come through your flat screen with an ipad like device as the remote control. However you’re not going to access anything until you log into your cloud. If you are an Apple user, they’ve got you by the balls. iCloud will drive your experience. Whoops, they get to play Microsoft.
The most valuable real estate will be icons and apps. If you own a domain that can be communicated by an image, that’s golden. My friend that just passed a million in royalties has fingerprint. That sure stands out from the crowd. By securing that icon that communicates the way a generic domain would, he is assured of an acquisition by a huge security firm. Pictures will do the talking. Of course those who understood this and have rushed out apps so they can be head of the line will own you. That’s why when you go to sites they try their damnedest to get you to download the app they are vying for position. This is akin to being first on Google. Will Apple own the real estate because it’s their cloud and not your personal computer? If so it’s going to cost you.
More and more people will be led into sites from social recommendations. Those who have built that network may find it more valuable than a domain. Or having both and an app becomes the million dollar package. Brands will no longer sponsor shows, they will create their own shows and use celebrities as a draw. Realizing that GBTV.com is on a level playing field, Beck on the web will be a TV show. His face will be the icon. Nothing changes except the channel and his paycheck. This is when the rubber meets the road- you have all this multi-media content and you are watching TV and then navigate to FragerFactor. A flat page with a lot of words. Are you going to read a blog on TV or will you go to Techcrunch TV where one of our bloggers will have a domain segment. There should be no surprise here. I’ve blogged about it for years. Go to my blog 0r Google and search set top box future world frager factor– that was written in 1999 when all of this was already on the shelf. Only thing that’s delayed it is turf wars over access monopolies. The current websites are going to compete with TV. It will be a challenge. It also may usher in the next phase of disintermediation whereby GE realizes it can make TV infomercials to sell appliances directly.
Don’t take my word for it, ask Frank Schilling. He’s ready. Is it luck that he just happens to have the two names Cisco and Amazon have picked for their cloud? Or perhaps he became informed on this so when a domain dropped that no one saw potential in, knowledge was his power.
What does this mean for domains? Every entity needs a name. Every TV show needs a title. Every movie will live on its own theater so if you want to watch Rocky, you go to Rocky.com not Netflix. As Rick Schwartz said years ago, everyone can have their own soap box, so they won’t be dependent on the old Hollywood system to get the word out. Seth Godin blogged about this. Life will be shaken up but the great news is that you have an equal chance as Glenn Beck to hire team to produce a show on your domain… imagine the ad value then. Oh and speaking of ads, don’t underestimate the value of a call to action domain simply used to drive more folks to the next step. If a company pays $3 million for a 30 second ad with plovidia.com versus painrelief.com they will lose ten million viewers from 90 more seconds of attention and sign up. Bottom line- no matter how you get there, whether looking for a building or a websites, everything is always going to need a name.
DMPartners- I don’t need to say a word, the fact that the auction won’t come together speaks volumes. Shitty names, unrealistic reserves and more importantly not a prospect in sight. But this characterization can be made of every auction the past few years. That was Rick Latona’s point. Domain sales are not easy. Where people get the perception that they think up a name put it in an auction and it flies off the shelf is baffling. Rick Schwartz has 6000 of the best names in the world and has only sold 9 in 12 years. Right now with the urgent problem of unemployment and 12 million people looking for relief that could be as simple as deploying unemployment.com– and he can’t sell that. How do you think 3D123 stands a chance. Yes there are obviously a number of 3D domains that have great value. And if someone with the cash and patience invests and waits it out, eventually the buyer will seek you out. That’s how sales are made.
Auctions were deceptive- a game of speculators selling to other speculators. I remember Paige Howe buying at one auction for $150K and flipping for $1mm. Sweet. But now it comes down to those with cash and those without. Without income eventually a mid level domainer will break. He will need money and that’s when he will call the guy who once bid $250K at auction but not meeting the reserve- and $25K will claim it. That’s the sweet spot right now.
How many tens of thousands of page views to this thread exposing all of these names to people who buy names. How many offers? If I saw potential in a name on this thread I wouldn’t go to an auction, I’d take it off the market with a direct offer right now. Bottom line there is no demand.
Any how I’d love to see the expression on your face when it occurs to you that web and TV are the same.
(( Hey I rant, I ramble nobody is going to pay attention. Until I point back to this thread a year from now. ))
Wow, Owen I so agree with you — and did so about 10 hours ago but my 2 posts failed to display here. Thankfully I saved them to disk. So i will try again with a different browser.
I was in film biz in LA for 20 years and convergence was being talked about from before the time webTV appliance came out. It has always been the known result of all these media, so anyone who misses your point is totally looney tunes.
This is why cable companies got into Broadband and internet — and why internet companies got into TV … and why Cell Carriers have tried to have their fingers in all pies. It’s so clear “the internet won” as the delivery system; that game has long ago been settled. Now we’re seeing the beginnings of how it plays out, as amazon smacked netflix in the stomach with a bodyblow, showing them how streaming was done — and netflix was still months behind in DVD rental land.
Netflix is STILL way behind amazon in terms of selection for Video on demand, especially TV series — and they know it too. When I unsubscribed recently, their exit survey asked why, and easily 5 times they asked similar questions embedded throughout re “what about out TV episode collection? Thinking again, of all reasons why you unsubscribed, was this one of your primary reasons?”
YES — that AND the fact that Amazon can deliver real time HD streaming on a DSL connection of 4.5 Megabits per/second… while Netflix cannot.
Point is, Owen is right.. And he;s right about APPS being the latest form of content… which is why when you see my own creation, the devvy awards, become the grammys and emmys and webbys for apps on touchscreens, you may remember the OTHER guy besides Owen who seemed so contrarian. Maybe we’re not such idiots afterall.
Maybe you could all stand to learn something if you weren’t all so cock sure of your gold mine.

This is house-of-cards money, not a real market. But, if that’e precisely the game you’e in —- early-stage flipping of domain names who value you’ve ratcheted up selling the Big Con before people realize their worth is 1/1000 of what you profited by —- and you get out early, just like the dotcom bubble 1.0, well okay, YES, you stand to make a lot of money…

At least have the balls to admit that you guys are early stage con artists. Then it’s all okay. At least you have the salesmanship skills to pull it off. That’s worth something and certainly of some admiration.

@O Frag
Bro, don’t say the “auction isn’t going to happen” because the ‘domains are crap” etc etc. Have you seen the list we have? Nope.
Will people become millionaires by selling domains at this auction? Nope.
Will people make 10,000% profit on a domain sale? Maybe.
Will the buyers of these domains suddenly get end user offers that quadruple their purchase price at this auction? Probably, and more.
And that’s the key, isn’t it, Frag? PROFIT MARGIN.
No other investment opportunity in the world can claim to make profits like selling a simple domain. Period.
You keep talking about apps and other ways to link to sites etc etc… but a BRAND is needed online. Period. And BACK-BRANDING your brand is also needed unless you want your competitors to steal the generic descriptive term of your prodservs. So… lot of domains will continued to be purchased. If you don’t believe this, I’m open to your offer on my domain, CELLPHONEAPPS dotcom. Make sure it’s in six figures.
The purpose of the Future Trend Domain Auction™ is to find out if there are terms that may have value based on trends anticipated to materialize (or to currently strengthen them) and if those terms can be sold as domains for a PROFIT.
If you think smartphones are going to “take over domains” because of hundreds of app icons splashed over 25 screen pages while the user is struggling to find out the “best restaurant app icon”, then go ahead.
Domains will still rule the roost for another ten years. The Future Trend Domain Auction™ WILL BE HELD.
And if you read MHB’s blog headline, it states he and the rest of the domain bigwigs FAILED to see this category as potentially being valuable. That’s a compliment I take very seriously by Embee.
The fact that over 3000 comments have been made on Embee’s one blog article, including several by you, proves that the category of FUTURE TREND DOMAINS can at least be considered as possible investment path for domainers.
That’s all I’m trying to prove — are FT domain going to be profitable, or not? I’m not blowing smoke up anyone’s piehole. If the top domainers decide to pass on picking up any of the domains in this auction, that’s their right to do so. But it will prove one thing for sure:
DON’T BUY DOMAINS THINKING THAT YOU’LL MAKE MONEY SELLING THEM TO OTHER DOMAINERS.
Which means, domain auctions either have to prove their worth by showing they have end user contacts for each domain category, or they should just admit they’re a listing website, which isn’t any better than a whois lookup or a “Buy This Domain” link on a parked page.
Why I’m still coming to Embee’s site to explain all this is my only quandary. He’s not holding the Future Trend Domain Auction™, and he doesn’t care one way or another how it works out. He does love the traffic, understandably. 😉
The FT auction WILL BE HELD. There’s no set date on it until I decide when the domain list is ready to go. Everyone WILL read the domains off this list and wonder: “If I don’t buy this FT domain for four figures today, will it sell for five figures or more next year or the next?”
Be smart people. Thanks Embee for the space.
Gotta love you Stephen.
But cellphones don’t have apps
Only iPhones and Androids and Blackberry’s have apps
All apps are cloud-server apps- that’s the miracle- they live on the cloud and only the graphical interface displays on any device that will access the cloud. No apps or memory is required in the phone itself
No they won’t have 150 icons and that’s the challenge. There are forces at work that want to take the browsing out of buying. Hence the app store is the only place the biggest share of app users will go. Ir’s by design.
The other captivity trick domainers missed is email lists. Orbitz, Zappos, Costco, Groupon, Amazon all come to me with offers to get me to them. I click an email. It’s all about lifetime customer value. Brands mined domains and PPC to convert your click into a relationship. It’s evil out there. Some day you’ll realize that music, travel, apps and a lot more have already been locked to a supplier. And you’ll need expensive TV ads to change that.
I just would like to say, for what it’s worth, I wouldn’t pay $50 for the domain CELLPHONEAPPS dotcom. To me it is worthless when there are currently 5 different OS’s and consumers are already confused enough one OS to another.
An app on iOS is different from an app on webOS and different from an app on WindowsPhone 7, Android, and Blackberry.
Nobody is looking for a generic site to find apps. They are meaningless without the operating system used by your phone or touch device.
Also, you seem to confirm the idea that making money with domains is really about scamming losers, not about any legitimate value add. Casino high stakes betting, and when you win, you win big. Usually its by holding things hostage. Has anyone ever thought of a business model for domains based on legitimate value? I guess not. I guess no such thing exists.
that’s sad. but a reality. I just looked at the list of the top 500 domain name sale purchases of all time. I see quite a lot of really high ticket items that are just parked pages. One day can someone do the math for me about how parked pages like inventions.com, as just one example among many, = amount paid for domain? I would be very open to learning then shutting my pie hole.
Just an opinion but all domain names are (by their own virtue) speculative investments until the day comes that they are sold *OR* bring in a profit from being built out/sat.
I don’t care if you picked up Sex(dot)com for $1 or $1 million. Its a speculative investment until you have CASH in your hand for the sale of the domain or until have see a PROFIT from building out/sitting the domain.
That is true with all types of investments (hence the volatility in all investments). Some people come out on top, Some stay flush, and others loose their socks. Nothing about that is going to change.
You can buy/sell, build out, and sit domains. You can become a day trader, or eve become a real estate investor. Its all the same. You may win, you may loose, and they have the same exact discussions in their circles.
This thread, and many others are no different then many other discussions that they have in all the other investments. The next big thing is always sought after. Its the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and either you have the fortitude to look for it or you don’t. And so goes this discussion.
3D without a doubt WILL be a blip on the radar… just how big of a blip is undetermined right now.

@ SolarPhone, that’s an interesting, older article. Wonder if it is on the agenda!
World’s First Glasses-less 3D Laptop- Are We Ready?
http://tech.uk.msn.com/news/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=158483722
@ O FRAG – you are following a tight road for marketing the companies you’ve become “loyal” to. That’s fine, they’ve got your number, and you are a loyal customer. Here’s the glitch: Are all these companies YOU are loyal to satisfied that they have enough customers? Have they laid back on their laurels and earlier successes and become complacent to reaching locking down their deadbolt on all their prodservs? Are any of your “loyal” companies comfortable that no other company can come in and “Smith-Corona” them into oblivion, which can happen by this new “upstart” company simply using a clear generic domain name that would have been a backbrand for your loyal company?
You state that apps are limited to a small group of cellphones. What are you thinking? Cellphone Apps are available on hundreds of phones. There are at least five major cellphone app websites, including Appstore.com. Microsoft is suing Apple for its use of “app store”. MS still doesn’t have a backbrand for their cellphone apps… and maybe they might want a generic descriptive backbrand domain like “cellphone apps dotcom”.
Your logic seems confused, my friend. You state several makes and models of cellphones that use apps, and present them as if this group of cellphones is a piddling group of devices that few people gravitate to. Then you fail to mention that the BIGGEST DRAW to smartphones’ success are the APPS. BILLIONS OF APPS HAVE BEEN SOLD SINCE FIRST INTRODUCED. Period. Every company is making them. Any website can sell them.
Point is – anyone who denies that cellphone apps (the domain) has no value, either historically or financially, is woefully behind the times or very uneducated on the power of apps in the cellphone industry. The fact that you believe “very expensive TV ads” will change any type of consumer buying trend is very telling. Come on, dude. Really?
The subject matter is more detailed in what we can banter about here, but your baseline assessment of cellphone apps’ value by just listing the few cellphone types you think are the “last of the app providers” for their users is really illogical and short-sided.
@ Quicksite: With all due respect, your knowledge about domain investing, the prodservs domains represent, and your inability to first do research before posting a comment that makes unqualified assumptions about the subject matter makes me wince. You need to quickly hire a domain consultant to walk you through this industry so you don’t establish yourself with the name that Mark Twain wrote about in his book, “Puddin’ Head Wilson”.
No matter, you’re still afraid to reveal your real name in your comments, which doesn’t remove the fact that you are someone who needs help, and quick. (“quick” — hmmm… “quick site”… hmmm… is that a brand?)
cheers!

@ Solar, the article said Apple’s goal is next year for an iPhone with “a new way of charging the phone.” That has to mean solar! Thanx for the heads-up that Apple already applied for a patent! We’re on the cutting edge! You’ll be nicely positioned next year when people search solar phone for information on solar phones.

Singapore’s 1st solar-charging mobile phone
http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/TechandScience/Story/STIStory_688522.html
Hi, No built-in camera. That’s interesting!
Experiments in solar have some panels which charge from indoor lighting.
(( 2011 July 5
Stephen Douglas ))
Stephen I truly marvel at your posts. When I initially read about an important auction going to take place — and then some people here were complaining “WHEN? WHEN? why is this taking so long?”, I thought, “geez, man, give this guy some space. He’s obviously enterprising something risky which also requires logistical planning and timing.
Then you come to site and explain many things, one of which being that most of the valuations people expect here are unrealistic and that kind of thinking will kill this auction.. And you advise more reasonable reserves for testing the waters at this stage. So you came off as reasonable, smart, balanced, experienced, wise.
Then the exchanges with Owen and he has sparred back and forth with you revealing that you are an entire generation behind in your technology comprehension of the web, mobile phones, the delivery systems for apps, what are apps for, what are their revenue drivers, and what they physically represent as real estate on a touchscreen.
Owen, by contrast, sorry to say, smokes you out the water, with a thorough comprehensive knowledge of convergence and how that plays into branding, and thus, by extension, domains.
But you expose how little you know by huffing and puffing and blowing the house down, and yet still not even grasping the basic concept of what HE said, nor what I said re OS’s — vs the “hundreds of cellphones” as you put it. You are missing the boat. Look at the rate of sale of the ipad and other tablets. Are they cellphones?
No, they are not cellphones Stephen. Not even close. But even if some of them become call-enabled, the entire spectrum issue of cellular as a delivery mechanism for the web is fracturing. More and more wifi hotspots are enabling voice and video calling, but more important, they enable direct and faster connections to the web — which means websites, which means domains, your alleged field of expertise.
But you want to primp and promenade around the joint like you’re Tony Montana in Scarface — like you “Know lots of shit”, or like Fredo Corleone “Ahmm smart, too, Michael”… But as much as you would like to convey that impression, whatever you may know about old school domains and deals, you are out of your league when it comes to the mobile web and branding. You don’t even understand it. You STILL don’t get why your name CELLPHONE is useless. You talk Microsoft — and you also want to have a crack at dissing me because I’m not some name brand in domains like you Mr. Big Stuff — well that’s fine, but let me school you again Mr. 10 Years Behind and still applying old theories to the current changing landscape:
I said I would not pay $50 for your worthless generic name cellphone apps. And you think Microsoft would. This is where you show complete ignorance and rather than just step back and stay within the domains of your expertise, you’re just asking for it:
Do you have any idea what WindowsMobile is?
I know you won’t answer because you are so above it all. It’s the first OS used for touchscreen phone+PDA devices. Who made them? Microsoft. Before or after the iphone? See, you don’t even know this shit, you;re so used to your dell presario and logitech wireless mouse and custom mousepad with your big company logo oversided on it to go with your inflated ego. The iphone came 5 years after the WindowsMobile operating system.
Did people call WindowsMobile phones cellphones? NOT EVEN THEN. They called them smartphones, as a primary differentiator between bottom of the barrel pieces of crap with a radio receiver that can reach a cell tower aka a cell phone that you can get for $25 now at Target or on ebay. And they had applications on them but not Apps as we know them. Do you know the difference?
No, you do not. You have no idea the difference. And why it matters tremendously to branding and therefore to domains.
But more important, Microsoft would never in a million years buy your obsolete bargain basement Salvation Army domain name cellphoneapps for another major reason. Do you know what they switched from WindowsMobile to WindowsPhone? I’m not going to answer this one for you. I know you will dismiss it, but since you are so cock sure you are humiliating me, i want you to be exposed here for not having a clue about why they chnaged that name, and why therefore they will never want to come anywhere NEAR your moldy rusted domain name that you are tonedeaf about.
Here’s the difference between me and you: I admit things I don’t know. Whereas you, Fredo, can’t or you;re afraid it damages your reputation as Mr. Big.
I don’t know: *how websites make money parking vs selling domains
(and nobody has answered it which is interesting)
* and how investors profit from parking + ad selling vs domain name selling
* why aged domains should have any bearing on a domain name’s worth, or whether it is just a bogus marketing tool used to create a feature that is irrelevant to a buyer
* what percentage of activity of most domainers is constant shifting of portfolios, trading up, trading down, trying to maintain inventories within certain categories
* what causes domainers to apply what Alan Greenspan called “irrational exhuberance” regarding the runup to thedotcom 1.0 bubble, yet ratchet it up exponentially, like 1000x the kinds of rates of return even Wall Street investment bankers expected to get for stocks during the dotcom boom
These are things I am proud to say I simply do not know these answers.
And that differentiates me from you. That I can admit i don’t know some key elements.
@quicksite
I didn’t quite get that, can you run it past me again one more time?
No, really, I can’t take you seriously, not given some of the things you’ve said.
Such as being unable to distinguish eye-strain issues and falling box-office sales for stereoscopic 3d movies (caused by the still primitive tech) and whether or not people who have bought holo domains have invested into a fad.
Or the fact that you ridicule everybody here for investing in 3d when I’ve made nearly $50,000 already from my (largely hand-registered) names and can reasonably expect to be earning that amount each month in 2 or 3 years time (without selling a single name).
By accusing us of misleading people and lying through talking up 3D when 3d domain names are still very much a buyers market.
And for the long list of things that you admit to not knowing above and still believing that you can speak with any authority at all on the value of domain names.

Please suggest your own if you know any other good ones.
Hi @ Quicksite & @Stephen, You both misspoke, please resolve your differences, because you both have interesting things to say and bring to the table!
CellphoneApps dot com is a great name, a superb name. It has searches and robust CPC. SmartphoneApps has incrementally more searches, but “smart” is the adjective which eventually may be tossed aside as it becomes ubiquitous. Every phone will be a smartphone.
But, “cell?” Quicksite, you have many interesting things and practical experience to bring to the table, but how can you say the name, Cellphone is useless? I get, you mean strictly speaking, it’s yesterday. But when someone asks, “Do you have a cell?” “What is your cellphone number?” does it matter if the phone is feature or smart?
Let’s pull together and increase our knowledge!
To start, Quicksite, Andrew Rosener delivered a nice and lengthy interview to DomainSherpa how he valuates domains . . . Type Andrew Rosener in the search, and scroll down to, How To Value Generic Domain Names – with Andrew Rosener, click that then scroll down to Andrew Rosener Interview Key Take-Aways. It has a link to GAKT. That is a start. And the interview is recorded and in text.
Apple is fighting Amazon over AppStore dot com, but it’s generic, so likely it will lose. Cell phone’s meaning has evolved, just like phones. CellphoneApps dot com is a great name! It’s not the strict meaning that you are used to. I know what you mean. People use the term, “tablet pc,” to cover touch tablets in general, and that is not what it means! It only means Microsoft Tablet PC that was used with a stylus.
@ 3D Tablet, thanx for those links!

Thanx, SolarPhone. That is a start. In the News section, you have to put a 2-sentence summary of each article, in your own words, of course.
(( 3dtablet.net ))
(( Such as being unable to distinguish eye-strain issues and falling box-office sales for stereoscopic 3d movies))
*** Well okay, then BE in denial that 2 major Hollywood film directors of 3d films this summer who expected boffo box office wrote articles saying audiences are way below what was expected and they both blame it on their choices for making the film in 3D. Those are very expensive productions, and it takes 2.5 to 3x the production budget for a film to go into profit, after subtracting marketing & distribution costs. So you favor sweeping that data under the rug? Okay, fine.
((Or the fact that you ridicule everybody here for investing in 3d ))
**** Not true. I have specifically valued the major device categories, and the usages for real estate and city virtual tours — that goes way back many months ago. It’s okay to hate what I say. Just please don’t distort it ***
(( when I’ve made nearly $50,000 already from my (largely hand-registered) names and can reasonably expect to be earning that amount each month in 2 or 3 years time (without selling a single name). ))
**** I’d like to see substantiation and methodology: What was your initial investment? In how many domain names? You mostly registered them yourself, and presumably purchased a few. What were those purchase prices and for which domains specifically? You’re saying nobody bought any for you, correct. But that you have generated $50,000 in revenue. Again, from how many domains? And by what method? And in what time period? What is your net profit factoring your investment costs?
***** By what method will you be earning $600,000 per year by 2013, and by 2014 you will have earned at least 1.2 million dollars from that portfolio of names, never selling one of them? Back up what you say vs just assert.
(( And for the long list of things that you admit to not knowing above and still believing that you can speak with any authority at all on the value of domain names. ))
***** You misread that. I was using differentiation. I never ever made a claim to be an authority on the value of domain names, but I am certainly an authority on branding, and user experience design, and am grappling with the issues Owen has raised which no one seems to want to honestly deal with. I have made the admission of what i don;t know as a coaxing of “look it’s not so hard to admit what you dont know” as a means to have just one of you admit you don’t grasp what Owen has been saying about how branding and site access methods are changing dramatically — which will have actual impacts on your theories the have been operating to date.
Don’t get mad just because someone is able to be truthful to the point of admission of things I don’t know. My premise is very simple. It was demonstrated by Owen, but also by SD himself up and until he stepped inot poo about cellphone apps.
Louise I think it is nice that you try to be a diffuser and arbiter to keep peace and seek mutual buyin. But I disagree with you about how the population uses the term cellphone. It’s changed. Most people who do not have a touchscreen device commonly say ‘oh i just have a cellphone”.
Id’ like to ask: What phone do you use right now? And what is your favorite Map app?
People who are looking for apps, once again, never ever EVER are going to a generic corral to look inot apps, so the more people say that, the more likely it sounds like hey are unfamiliar with the 5 operating systems driving the 5 competing types of touchscreen phones. NOT ONE is compatible on any other platform that the one your phone runs on. This is why you will have variations on Apple iphone markets, or BestAndroidApps, or webOSapps, or BestBBapps, or WP7apps, but it is absolutely nonsensical for anyone who has ever downloaded one single app from any app market to think they would go to one generalized marketplace to search out apps for their iphone, or for their android phone, etc.
This is why Owen called SD out. And then you people get angry that he is then humiliated here because it is being shown SD knows absolutely nothing at all about the touchscreen industry, which is directly impacting the domain industry. So you attack the messenger because you realize YOU don’t know anything about it either, and it angers you that you don’t. So you flip the conversation to mock me. Okay. fine. But my point has been consistent:
I can be kicked out of here for having such views, but these are my views: I favor higher ethical standards in the domain industry. I think there is a fundamental dishonesty in character to try to suss out a new tech landscape, then go scoop up every single possible domain one can think of, for the expres purpose to hold it hostage for mega dollars when someone possibly comes along years later with actual value-add entrepreneurial business creativity, who seeks to build a product or service, but they have to face paying someone exorbitant sums of money because you, who have no capacity to actually build and make things of tangible value that customers want to buy and use in their lives, lock things away, drooling over the day someone drives down your highway and comes to your tollbooth.
If the prices were anywhere reasonable, then fair enough, but it exactly this “hit it out of theballpark and retire” greediness I see festering in the DNA of so many of you that it just seems unfortunate that while you sit on properties for years and years while holding them out of play unless your ransom is met, you can’t even invest $200-$300 for a template to at least make them something other than ugly blight upon the web.
The typical parked page with its generally minimally-relevant to completely non-relevant search results, with it’s general arial or helvetica type at top is just a big fat F-YOU to people actually enterprising enough to try to create innovative services for end users.
That’s my beef. If anyone here were choosing things becasue they liked them and cared about the value they would add to an end user, I’m all for making billions, through legitimate service value.
But my last comment is: Why is it the high-wattage brainpower here doesn’t ever engage the 3 or 4 other voices who periodically post here from within your ranks who say “we need to stop overhyping some of these domains or extensions, like .mobi, .biz, etc.
@ Quicksite
You certainly do have some interesting points to raise.
Your explanation of OS’s for Smart Phones/Androids/phones /cells and mobiles (I live in the UK and most of the people I know with smart phones and Android phones including myself refer to them as phones or mobiles. I’m guessing that in the U.S. most people refer to them as phones, cells or cellphone and search them on the web using the same terminology) and the way the OS dictates user experience and choice is reasoned and informed.
It’s a given that this will change the way we access services on our handhelds and to some extent smart TV’s so yes in the long run things will change to some degree.
Do you not though see any benefit of a website which impartialy reviews apps or from which you can download apps for all devices and OS?
(I don’t realy see why the differing types of OS for handheld devices should have such a great effect. When a developer makes an app are you suggesting that they only create it for use with one OS?)
What I’m getting at is: do you honestly believe that people do not want to dictate their own experience where possible?
The web as we know it isn’t just about to diaspear, you will still be able to access it on a smart TV and androids and search engines will still exist. People when buying a product looking for a service etc will still use traditional web interfaces.
Companies will still need brand names and key word rich generic domain names containing the products and services they offer.
But as you said “that’s your beef” , your last post was no more than an attack on future trend / domain investors and the industry as a whole.
In a free market economy I see no issue with domainers (myself being one) who put in hundreds of hours of research following future tech in order to make calculated investments as to which direction these trends will take…then actually making some profit out of it.
I don’t feel paticularly sorry for large corporations who are too slow to get their marketing in check funnily enough.
The reality is that many domainers on here do care about the technologies they invest in, they spark their imagination, make them go wow! and inspire them to be a part of the future. Have you even bothered looking at some of the tech resources that posters on here have developed?
You can keeping on slating Stephen Douglas until the cows come home but ultimately he’s got a damn site more more balls than you for trying to get this first future trend auction off the ground. It’s very easy to criticise isn’t it.
Did you ever miss out on a domain name bought by a domainer 2 years before you even had the idea Quicksite…Because that huge chip on your shoulder certainly suggests so.
@ quicksite, just issue an apology to Stephen and get on his good side. Stephen has historically done lots for this industry, whether it is recognized or not. Mostly he initiated advancements from the wings, which are standard today, but other companies reap the glory. Stephen is injecting new life in the domain industry with future trend which gives hope to new investors, such as yourself. You may benefit from his posts and comments, where they are found, and if you view his website, Successclick. As someone in media and branding, you have a great advantage, and probably would realize success investing in domains . . . If for no other reason, you should PRESERVE great names from the sharks! Sharks are unscrupulous investors. Major Registrars salivate as they get ready to pounce dropped domains, and sometimes out and out steal! Read the post Stephen made at my site, EmergingDomains.

http://wmpoweruser.com/microsoft-patents-its-dual-screen-phone-concept
Come and meet those dancing feet, on the avenue I’m taking you to, 42nd street.
Hi Leigh, you made some great comments. I can always handle criticism. What I really enjoy is engagement in the actual content os what I might write, because I don’t write it just to pass the time. I’d rather be on google+ for that, which, fwiw, is stunningly superior to Facebook in so many ways. I might even be nice enough to provide invites to people if they ask and provide a gmail address, as that is required.
Starting from the end first:
(( Did you ever miss out on a domain name bought by a domainer 2 years before you even had the idea Quicksite…Because that huge chip on your shoulder certainly suggests so. ))
**** Probably more like 5 years before, maybe 10 years before in some cases. But this is the differentiation. I build enterprises — as I used to work for idealab.com . If you don’t know who that is, look it up since you think i’m such a noob. Never mistake harsh criticism for a bench player or dreamer. Big mistake.
80% of what I create from scratch, develop, bring to launch are branded with names I create, so I am generally paying $8.50 for them. The the other 20% consist of those with names taken already. I never start from looking at someone else’s list. I always start from my marketing brain and brainstorm easily about 25 names. In years past i was very very flush and had STUPID practices where I would over-register names I wasn’t even sure of. But I was younger and stupider. Now, I seek the availability of the 20 or so names. It’s only a natural human reaction to be disappointed when a name you want is taken, but at same time, I presume that is going to be the case for certain types of names that have generic words in them.
Then I go line them up in tabs and see when have websites. That’s the part that indeed reflects part one of the chip on shoulder, because yes, I don’t lie, and i don’t hide and mask as others do. I admit flaws and frailties because I am not afraid to show that side of me — vs those who mush always try to present their marketing side of selves as know it alls and flawless “heavyweights”. I find that silly.
I have had some wonderful dealings with domainers thru the sedo marketplace, sometimes thru DNforum, where I am a lifetime member (not a nub), HugeDomains, and thru direct negotiation via WHOIS registrant. So, here’s my reaction set in order of LEAST annoying to MOST annoying types of “already registered” domain namesI’m interested in:
1. A company exists with that name and they have a fully built out website with that domain name and brand. That’s not very annoying. That’s more of a touche, and a tip of a hat to a well chosen name to that company — and I know that’s a closed path, not subject to acquisition.
2. A blank page with a directory or coming soon which indicates a solo person, not a domineer, who quite possible wanted to give this idea a real go, and maybe couldn’t pull it off, or did for a while and it ultimately was unsustainable. (i always check archive.org’s wayback machine in these cases — or, you could use my own shortcut domain that cuts down on typing to go back in time: http://back0.com … that’s its only purpose, shortcut) … In these cases, i will engage the admin contact directly and i am always respectful in asking whether they are still actively developing the site, or if they have decided to abandon development — vs the heartless bulldozer approach of “say kid, what’ll you sell this piece of dump for?” … At this point you either can get realism back, or hyper inflated sense of 1-hit-homerun.
3. Parked page with link to This Domain for Sale, which links to Sedo, where there is an actual price listed. No fussing, If it’s in reality land, then I’ll seek it. If it’s in LA-LAH land, i will flipit off and not even bother because the person falls into the category of person i despise. Has nothing to do with WHEN they registered it. It has everything to do with the distinction I made last time. But why bother stating it again. It doesn’t play to this audience. You’re large the very audience who could care less about (NOT ME) a person with a dream, a passion, and a solid gameplan to develop a site to build a brand that helps market the site to sell a new product or service enterprise — i.e. a new twitter, or flickr, or whatever it might be. All that matters is: “I’m smart, I snagged this one years ago, I didn’t have any idea on what to do with it, or any intellectual property capability myself, but i sure as hell could build me a huge toll booth and prevent other from accessing it — unless they pay me royally, not just market value fairness, but a firkin ROYAL payout because *I* say I am brilliant for snagging it years ago.”
No, I am a capitalist, but there are people who have zero qualms at all — no warm blooded feelings whatsoever — about buying up the entire inventory of plywood from all area lumber yards and Home Depots as the hurricane approaches Florida or Louisiana, knowing they will mark it up 500% as the people start panicking and needing to board up their homes. I don’t believe in the merit of that kind of capitalism. Some people do. That’s fine. Free country.
4. Parked Page with link to This Domain for Sale which links to Sedo, but it goes to that Swamp of Baselessness: “INQUIRE”
5. Parked Page with no link at all to This name for Sale, no record ever of the domain ever having hosted an actual website. These are the blood-sucking parasites who kill innovation in America because they are driven by one thing only – EXTREME GREED. They’re so greedy that they won’t even give a fair opportunity to someone/anyone to build a business with that name at that address. Sedo brokers will tell you directly “Oh yeah. This guy. I’ve dealt with him many times. A real asshole. Won;t even have the courtesy to even respond to an email or phone call. I’m afraid you won’t get anywhere with this person at all”
**** So, yes, I have issues with people like this, not in the least bit reluctant to say so. And any single one of you, as a consumer operating in a different environment other that this one where you’re counting your gold, would feel the exact way if you’re being taken on a ride for something being marked up at 1000 or 10000 x its original price.
(( You certainly do have some interesting points to raise.))
**** Maybe that was just being polite, in which case thank you.
Your explanation of OS’s for Smart Phones/Androids/phones /cells and mobiles (I live in the UK and most of the people I know with smart phones and Android phones including myself refer to them as phones or mobiles. I’m guessing that in the U.S. most people refer to them as phones, cells or cellphone and search them on the web using the same terminology) and the way the OS dictates user experience and choice is reasoned and informed.
**** I honestly do not hear anyone at all who uses a touchscreen use the language “I am downloading this app to my cellphone”… I have never heard it uttered, ever. The behavior is clear. You can see my ad right here for the devvy awards for outstanding achievement in touchscreen apps development, and the visual alone confirms the behavior — in every case you tap the screen activating an icon, which connects to a cell tower or wifi, where the app is then downloaded OTA t the phone. No one ever calls it cellphone. http://devvys.com/ads
(( Do you not though see any benefit of a website which impartialy reviews apps or from which you can download apps for all devices and OS? ))
**** I originally thought so a few years back, but the software development kits and APIs and operating systems are so different for each 5 OSs that it is really hard for a given app maker (often a 1-2 person operation, sometimes larger for games) to make that same app for a 2nd platform… But when they do, it tends to be playing out at iPhone (iOS) and Android phones. So if blackberry, windowsPhone users or PalmPre users or all the new Tablet users were to come to, let’s make up a name “AppReviews.com”, they’d find over half the inventory of apps not even available for their phones — so that would create frustration, not happiness. So I think such a site would ultimately be alienating vs a lightning rod. Plus, I should add, the ports of these apps from phone to Tablets are very complex… They are complete rewrites.
(I don’t realy see why the differing types of OS for handheld devices should have such a great effect. When a developer makes an app are you suggesting that they only create it for use with one OS?)
*****Generally. .. Roxio had problems making AngryBirds for Android… but then once they did they pulled in a million dollars a week. Most people do not have that revenue generation from thier apps so it is extremely hard to go cross-platform. I have talked to many many mobile software developers who develop for iphone asking why they don;t also develop for android. they say “I already know this OS and i haven’t begin to study the developer kit for android and frankly don’t have the time” — that’s just 2 of the 5 OSs!
***** I never meant to be so nasty about it, but that came from Owen trying to very careful explain this to Stephen, the instead of Stephen stopping even for ONE-HALF A SECOND to contemplate what he was saying, instead he pranced in like a big cowboy trying to smack Owen around as if Owen didn’t know his shit. The fact was, SD didn’t know his shit.
SO Louise, NO, why should I “make nice” to someone who is so arrogant as to childishly stonewall their lack of knowledge of an entire new emergent technology that is HERE NOW. If he had the slightest humility about it, such as, “well maybe you were right after all, I see your point”, there would have been no need to get Owen;s back. But not one person here would get Owen’s back — which tells me one of two things: Either most people are scared of saying anything to The Wizard of Oz, or, the majority here actually don’t know much to anything about this entire landscape of touchscreen devices and the actual SMART CONTENT owen was putting forth re branding via apps.
I found it disgusting that his just got blow off, and then the next posts were “here’s my new domain: 3DEasyBakeOven.com” — just completely filtering out the smart content of what he was sharing. I find that really ignorant. Unless this is a forum for “Show us your domain names! Discussions Not welcomed other than twitter-length”
(( The web as we know it isn’t just about to diaspear, you will still be able to access it on a smart TV and androids and search engines will still exist. People when buying a product looking for a service etc will still use traditional web interfaces. ))
ABSOLUTELY! I never ever signalled, in anything I wrote, “the end of the web browser”… Never. And I never would. Way back during Dotcom 1.0, a colleague of mine Rob in SF was one of those “serial entrepreneurs”… and he was convinced the next big thing was “REAL NAMES” in the browser, skipping domain names. This was tried and it was way more complicated than imagined, and it also didn’t get buy-in… Someone will try it again, no doubt… After all, Firefox browser effectively has this function built into its address bar. Enter a name like “ford” and it will likely find the automotive comany’s website in search return list. But enter ford.com and it goes straight there.
But i think we are a long ways away from domain names going away…. And just as confirmation that web browsers and domains are HUGELY still part of the vibrant mix, the MAJORITY method of how to get to website, streaming movies from your tv by hooking up your PC to your HDTV as an auxiliary monitor makes your TV display the web…. with the URL window etc.. you can control it with your laptop, typing, or with yup TV’s remote control… both work,,, but laptop so much faster for typing addresses. I watch amazon and netflix all the time streaming this way.
I also watch them streaming via a blu-ray dvd that has those services built in, but that’s a whole other topic. I am agreeing with you. Owen might have been giving you that impression. That’s not what *I* am saying however. The web, domains, and browsers will be around a long time more.
(( my beef …. In a free market economy I see no issue with domainers (myself being one) who put in hundreds of hours of research following future tech in order to make calculated investments as to which direction these trends will take…then actually making some profit out of it. I don’t feel paticularly sorry for large corporations who are too slow to get their marketing in check funnily enough. ))
***** well, that’s a great juxtaposition. because I have no issue at all with apple forking over the big bucks for cloud, or any other corp forking it over. THEY, however, are not the population i have been speaking of. it’s startups who get screwed over and over and over — but 9 times out of 10 they simply can’t afford the ridiculously inflated rates, so they move on… and 9 times out of 10 that seller never ever sells that domain to anyone, either than unloading it to another domineer — and that is the gods honest truth and you know it.
(( The reality is that many domainers on here do care about the technologies they invest in, they spark their imagination, make them go wow! and inspire them to be a part of the future. Have you even bothered looking at some of the tech resources that posters on here have developed? ))
“Tech resources” — No. So there are people here who have actually created intellectual properties and developed original websites creating a real product or service — based on the name — and not merely linked to a whole bunch of pre-fab links? I would like to see that section please.
(( You can keeping on slating Stephen Douglas until the cows come home but ultimately he’s got a damn site more more balls than you for trying to get this first future trend auction off the ground. It’s very easy to criticise isn’t it. ))
**** Don’t be too presumptuous. Just because he may have some traction in this area doesn’t mean i’m a zero. You really don;t know that, do you? But again. I explained that my initial impression was one of being very impressed because he seemed to be realistic. Had *HE* not slammed Owen by absolutely WRONG information, i would’ve kept my mouth shut. I think it’s not admirable at all to genuflect and praise wizards when they err so excruciatingly bad as he did. All of you have been apologists — when instead why not flip it and say “hey stephen, maybe you were wrong about your domain name, but let’s let that fly and move on”. Do you think he would?
NOT ON YOUR LIFE.
Leigh I wish I could answer you but you have provided no email address. The site owner has decided to now moderate my comments, so I am certain he will reject my last my last comment, despite it having an enormous amount of solid information it it. …
@ Quicksite
MHB certainly doesn’t seem to be moderating your comments as you’ll see above.
Thanks for your response, I’m sure everyone here is interested in getting varying viewpoints whether they agree with them or not.
In some cases I do and the others I don’t, we’ll agree to disagree.

Actually saw Transformers in Bangkok at the 2 AM showing in IMAX 3D.
YES 2AM (all other shows where sold out & it was our last day there)
Amazing.

just picked up junkyoldcar.com is it junky?
@Quicksite
I have no intention of giving you, everybody else, and every reader to this thread, a detailed breakdown as to how to make a million from 3D in the next few years.
That you expect me to do so is another sign that you really don’t have much authority or even basic sense regarding anything to do with domains or making money.
@anyone who wants to understand why and how the media is so determined to show that 3D is a fad. I won’t post the links but the other day one of the 3D top stories was LG shaving their forecasts for smartphone sales for 2011. Numerous blogs had the headline ‘ is this the end of 3D’, assuming that the LG 3D smartphone had been a flop. Actually, the LG phone has only been on sale for a few days in the UK, not even launched in the US or even South Korea, and LG’s forecasts were based on the dissapointing performance of their high end 2d smartphones in the first half of the year. In fact, they are hoping that they will still sell substantially more smartphones in 2011 than last year, BECAUSE of the LG Optimus 3D.
I notice you haven’t mentioned Transformers 3D quicksite – a real 3D film, not an over-priced post-production cash in – and how it is wowing audiences across the world.
@ MHB, glad you enjoy a film since you always seem to be working. Thanx for the report of in-theater experience! Are you still in that part of the world from attending ICANN?
@ Solarphone, Happy dance for you! You inspired me to register another phone dot com today . . . GreenSmartphones . . . because it sounds like the time for using recycled materials in phones has come! Plus my one and only affiliate ad on DualScreen is iPhonesIntoCash, who help “keep potentially hazardous materials out of our landfills” by recycling phones.
May I recommend you create a folder on your site, called, Charger? Then you will have, “solar phone charger,” in your url, which is popular search topic . . . Good job!
@ 3DTablet, I think the Optimus 3D is going to be HUGE! PCWorld gave it 4 stars out of five . . .

DDD in licensing deal with 3d mobile maker –

@Louise
You do more work to promote FT domains than any domainer in the world… based on your constant comments and enthusiasm. Anyone successfully selling FT domains through any medium should thank you in their prayers.
@Quicksite
I loved reading every word of your novel here. I thought I was verbose, and have been accused of verbosity by the best domain bloggers. However, I make sure my spelling is correct, my grammar acceptable, and finishing off a sentence so that readers can understand it before publishing it. I don’t succeed all the time, but 98% of the time I do because my 2nd grade teacher told me to never write a sentence that would reflect my IQ and knowledge of a subject, or reveal that I’m careless in how I try to communicate my thoughts. You should have had that same teacher so you would have learned the same tenants.
At some point, I figured you’d mention my name. You did, and you referred to my response to OFrag regarding “apps” and other icon tech “mobile communication marketing tricks” that would replace domain names soon, or in the future. Although your novel never even partially explained to the reader exactly what you were attacking me for, I think I got a bit of it.
It’s true, apps are big for marketing a company’s prodservs. However, you fail to logically think it through, like my friend OFrag failed to do…. BEFORE YOU SELL YOUR APP, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BRAND and a brand online means a DOMAIN NAME. Backbranded domains are very important in establishing a company’s position on the internet — which trumps which “app” will be downloaded and used by what you Englanders call “mobile phones”.
One big mistake here, and it’s just a cultural thing — just as you call trucks “lorries”, every American calls their portable cellular phone a CELLPHONE. They don’t say “wait a second, I gotta go get my MOBILE PHONE”. They say “wait a second, I have go get my CELLPHONE.” That’s 350 million users compared to UK’s ummm… I don’t know how many people live there, but I think it’s about 25 million throughout.
The word CELLPHONE is the term the U.S. citizens use for describing their phone. Even their iphone. They don’t say “Gotta call my wife on my smartphone”. They don’t say “I gotta call my boss on my Droid”.
But when they want APPS for their phone, they recognize that they want CELLPHONE APPS. Not “phone apps” or “tellyphone apps” or whatever.
And the future technology will bring great apps (already have, such as Cellphone Scanners and every company wants to do “cellphone ads” or “cellphone advertisements”. Fantastic natural domain names for this new technology.
I am kinda tired of seeing everyone write about “3D” and “holo”. This technology has not matured fully. But CELLPHONE APPS technology has. We also believe Solar, Wind, and Thermal energy are already established, but for consumer usage as being ‘common vernacular”, we have a year or two to go.
How about robotics? In a year or two, robots and bots will be the talk of all technology news. You will see things that blow your mind…
In all of these areas, I’ve studied them for 8 years, heavily. My company, Successclick.com has the largest selection of direct generic domains for most of these prodservs in the world. This is something even the biggest companies don’t understand yet, and can’t see that value unless it’s too late and instead of buying at 4 or 5 figure prices, in a year they’ll be paying six and seven figure prices. Many are contacting me now hoping to get in a a quick cheap price, thinking that a down economy means “lower-priced domains”. How wrong they are.
I am not going to give a lecture here about FT domains. I’m just going to state that our first FT domain auction will surprise people. There’s no date yet that many desperate domainers are crying for… but there will be an FT auction, carefully thought out, with important end users invited, and every domain name in the auction will be presented PROFESSIONALLY to the buyer, explaining WHY that domain is/will be valuable. This is serious investment preparation, not a “swap meet for eager noobs who found they could buy potentially valuable domains for only $10”.
If you think I’m going to apologize to OFrag for your perceived failure of my misunderstanding his interpretation of the new mediums to promote and link users to websites they want to reach by an app or other gizmo, it won’t happen. OFrag thinks his way, and I think mine. Difference is that OFrag has 1/20th of the experience I have in domaining, and although he writes great blog articles covering important topics – in the domain genre, he’s picking at straws, and he’s coming up with the short one more times than myself.
Still respect him though.
Quicksite, since you don’t use your full name in your comments, I can’t determine if you’re legit or not. I don’t know. Not sure what your website does….it’s in French… I think… or do you own the domain “quicksite.com”? The one I went to was, how do you say, “à défaut en anglais”.
@Stephen
“There’s no date yet that many desperate domainers are crying out for”. I wouldn’t call us desperate Stephen, but frustrated yes. Especially after you’ve ‘confirmed’ the date on more than one occasion, and some of us paid to update our submitted ten domains. And now your telling us your ‘fed up’ with 3D and Holo names, which I would think makes up the majority of investments made by the domainers involved in this thread…
and just on cue…..
The web strikes back

Not sure I even like 3d. I went to look at a few sets for the first time last week but I think I’ll just end up buying a regular 2d led. When I was watching the 3d set it was just annoying and I wanted to take the glasses off the entire time. Some parts were okay, other parts just give me a headache. Plus the price is better on 2d and I think have a better overall picture.
I’ve just sold –
CloudTribe.com
for $1,650
Only paid $125 just over 4 weeks ago.
Not a big sale but will do for me to re-invest.

Congratulations, @ Solarphone! Happy Dance!!! 😀

@Tom
I understand your frustration with the glasses. I just bought my first little 3D Camera (a Sony Bloggie) and am starting to play with it. The nice thing is I can view the 3D on its screen without glasses. Now, when we can get to the point that we can view 3D on websites this easily, it will be great. I own quite a few 3D travel domains and I’m really looking forward to being able to develop and promote by embedding glasses-free 3D video. Don’t know when we will get there, but think it will be great for travel websites when we do (yes, I own 3DTravelWebsites.com)
Cheers, Lucy
@Tom
I know you’re probably just stating your own personal experience of 3D, but I find that nearly all of the ‘3d is just a fad’ doomsayers admit that they personally don’t like 3D. To which my response is – so? Most people do love 3D when it is well presented (otherwise Avatar 3D wouldn’t be the biggest box office success in history), and most of those who are dissapointed by it cite eye strain concerns – a problem that, as we have talked about here recently, can be overcome with better technology.
LG 20″ glasses free 3D monitor with eye tracking technology :
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20079160-1/lg-d2000-glasses-free-3d-monitor-tracks-your-eyes/
So both Toshiba and LG are bringing out larger screens with glasses free 3d employing eye tracking. The Toshiba laptop has gained some impressive reviews. Glasses free 3D tvs with eye tracking in time for christmas? Certainly at the next CES in January.
@HG
Please don’t parse my words. I never said “Fed up”, I said “tired of” 3D and Holo domains which only means the Future Trend Domain Auction™ is not just about those categories…. there are other domain categories being discussed here on the blog, and that’s exciting to see. Don’t make up something “bad” that’s not there.
As far as the Future Trend Domain Auction™, I’m in partnership with another company for holding this auction and we decided to change the date for the auction so that we could prepare it to be something great. I’ve discussed this a multitude of times. Please read my blog if you have concerns about that or other issues of the auction. I’m no longer going to answer questions or comments directed to me or the Future Trend Domain Auction™ on Embee’s blog article.
I sure blew this one.
//////////////
A year later to the day and isn’t looking like that. The 3d domain area looks to have done badly like all the other “trendy” “cool” “one day will be big” areas that proceeded it.
@snoopy
you could say the same thing about cloud names only a few months ago couldn’t you? Nobody would say it now. 3D is still less than 1% of what it will be in another three or four years.
I still think 3D printing is the one near future trend tech that will make a few domainers very rich indeed if they can work out exactly what impact it will have and how it will be delivered.
Interesting article I just read : http://www.duncanjefferies.co.uk/2011/02/thoughts-on-3d-printing/
A couple more cloud sales
CloudVertical.com

@ 3D Tablet
In the article you provided it suggests a ‘two tier 3D printing industry’ consisting of home printing and high street retail printing services. Surely there’s a third and highly profitable tier in online printing services, at least until 3DP infiltrates the home printer market. If so, what in your opinion are the kind of domains that could “make a few domainers very rich indeed”, considering 3dprinting.com has already been sold 🙂

@Quiksite
.. i hate to come here and comment on something so irrelevant after you have spent some valuable time posting some brilliant comments…. if you have seen my posts on here from time to time, you will have seen that i am obviously a 3d domain investor guilty of being a lot of the things that you hate… although, unlike some of the others, i do not have six or seven figure retirement dreams – just a hope to make some money, nothing more… there are some names that i know have some nice value – especially in the right hands – so i expect something more from, but i have no problem selling good names for a few hundred dollars to do nothing more than profit and renew… i’m not exactly a kidnapper of names with unrealistic expectations, just someone who thought they saw a time sensitive window to jump through.
I have bought in to a few hundred future trends, from 3d to holo to smart and 4k to solar and robotics… a few others…
i am a designer that actually CAN build out sites – and i HAVE – but there is only one of me… virtually every day of my life i wish i had time to get to developing sites for real but just don’t have enough time in any given day… while my intentions for many of these names are proper but reality is such that i just can’t do everything… wish i could do more with what i have but you need money to make money, so i hold on hoping i can ‘make money’ to build some of these out… time will tell.
I do think the math and the numbers speak for themselves as far as ‘profiting’ goes… just depends on your view on what you will let go at… i’m a little easier than many when it comes to that – i used to be a laborer – roofing, kitchens, dormers…etc.. so i can understand the value in a days pay after spending eight years doing that.
as far as some of your critique, you seem to have a very extensive knowledge of the smartphone situation, and while i do agree with many of your points, i do think it is unfair to attack some one like SD for his efforts… keep in mind, you lose all meaning and tone of voice on a message board such as this and i don’t really think he is the enemy here… nor do i think owen frager is the enemy as well… i do not know their pasts or backgrounds, but i’m SURE they have rubbed elbows a few times in the past and have a history with each other that allows them to have the freedom to openly discuss to themselves regardless how you or i take it… i also think while you have a strong knowledge of smartphones, that the whole ‘future trend’ world we are targeting goes MUCH MUCH further than smartphones and mobile computing… i believe Stephen when he says he is doing hours f research on certain things that even he was not aware of until he started putting this all together… the world is moving FAST and keeping up with ALL of it is pretty much impossible to do right now but while i’m not trying to pick a side, more because i really don’t know you or who you are or what your agenda actually is, and even then, i don’t care too much (no offense), but i do know SD is, if nothing else, genuine in his efforts and extremely smart about a hundred more future trends than you could possibly ever think of.
I think a lot of people here are more frustrated with themselves because they haven’t been able to sell any names and have somehow started to look at SD as their big saviour and to make them all correct in jumping into future trends… that’s just a load of crap, really… i have a few names of my own ready to go to this auction and IF they sell – GREAT… but there is no way i’m going to hold SD responsible for having to renew any of these names and to have to find my own buyer if they don’t.. that’s just a copout and those people really need to re-examine themselves…. chances are, many of the names that actually DO go to auction will not sell.. and that’s not it’s because of future trends, reserve pricing or even having enough time to market… you can do the same auction for hotels, insurance, meds, law firms whatever and the end result would be no different… it’s just what the domain business is… nothing more to think about there, pretty cut and dry.
I know some have come on here and given you grief about your comments, and really, i’m pretty sure it’s only because of the way you went about it – trashing SD for no apparent reason or personal attack on you… but a lot of your comments are pretty valuable to everyone here – a lot of people here need to be a little more grounded, i agree… maybe even myself as well… but don’t stop commenting and sharing – you’re great to hear and read when you’re not muddying someone up for no reason.
not trying to create a rumble with you either – just trying to point a few things out in a constructive way.
@STU
Congrats on your sale man… nice job!!!
@HG Portfolio Yea, online 3d printing will be massive (I have online3dprinting.org).

Hi,
Options for Mobile DTV Test and Measurement
http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/122290
Haven’t said anything about mobile dtv in a while . . . See http://emergingdomains.com/mobile-dtv for ideas.
To @ MHB, okay, 3Device.com is available for hand reg . . . Nice one! Companies are using hacks for branding, like 3ality . . . 🙂
Looks interesting…
3D leaders from across the world are gathering in London, England next week to debate future of 3D
http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/309152
@ Lucy, thanx for heads-up about meeting of 3D enterprises in London, plus the website, btween3d, is the bomb! Check out this video of augmented reality glasses shopping in front of your PC!

In other news, anyone interested in NFC mobile wallet, Brad Stone and Olga Kharif of BusinessWeek have written the seminal recap of where we are with:
Pay as You Go with Smartphones
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/pay-as-you-go-with-smartphones-07142011.html
It’s six pages, but once you start, you can’t stop reading! The history and current status: Google is subsidizing their installation of contactless terminals and the software to deliver targeted deals; while last fall, AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA, and Verizon Wireless banded together to form a venture called Isis to create their own digital wallet in conjunction with Discover Financial Services. They wanted to compete with Mastercard and Visa and charge a fee on the transaction, but have since backed down. But “the Durbin Amendment to the Consumer Protection Act of 2010 set the stage for a cap on credit- and debit-card fees, Isis scaled back its plans. The coalition now says that, like Google, it will try to lure other banks and card companies to its wallet without taking a cut of their transaction revenue.”
Who heard of the Durbin Amendment to the Consumer Protection Act? I knew it was out there, but didn’t know what it is called, except it is pressure from Obama administration . . .
A few more recent (last month or so) ones I found on Namebio

@Giles
Cloud6.com going for less than a grand looks like a bargain to me!
“you could say the same thing about cloud names only a few months ago couldn’t you? Nobody would say it now. 3D is still less than 1% of what it will be in another three or four years.”
////////////////
You could also say the same think about 3g domains, voip domains and all the other trends that never worked out for domainers (which is 99% of them). The fact is though there was no long winded threads about cloud domains years ago, people didn’t register hundreds of rubbish names. Even then the number of aftermarket cloud sales is a few dozen this year, just over a 100k total sales from my count.
You know, @MHB collected some nice 3D! I was browsing his names at MostWantedDomains. He has

Hi guys, glad to have stumbled upon this nice 3D domains post with so many comments. Went through many of the recent comments, looks like there are some big 3D domain investors here.
I’m currently in talks of buying a few 3D domains, do you think its a good idea to buy a .tv?
@Snoopy
I agree that some people have gone overboard and bought some bad 3D domain names. I’ve monetized about half of the 300+ 3D domains I’ve bought, and the only thing stopping me monetizing all the others is sheer lack of time. But I will, before the end of the year, and I’ll get my money back for every single one, one some hand regged domains 1,oo times over in a few months.
3D is not going to be so temporal as 3G and the like. I hope the doomsayers are right in that the mainstream take up of 3D will be slow, because this way 3D domains will have a longer lifespan. I think at this stage, anyone who has done any research on the tech and the investment put in by every major company, or has any personal experience with 3D search traffic etc, to say that 3D is a passing fad is very stupid.
@ 3d tablet
read so many articles like this one you posted
duncanjefferies.co.uk/2011/02/thoughts-on-3d-printing
quite glad i at least managed to grab some names in 3d printing,I am not saying i have done well here and i am going to make myself millions before the naysayers chip in but when i bought most of these everyone was looking at other 3d techs and this is more a hobby for me if i make cash from it i wont complain but its not imperative

Here’s an interesting CBS News story about the world’s first 3D Chocolate Printer… near to my heart ☺
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-20078477-501465.html
I don’t own any 3D Chocolate domains, but I do have:
3dCookiePrinter.com
3dCupcakes.com
& Printing3-D.com
@ Iain, Wow! that is quite some 3d printing inventory, you’re going to do very well out of that.
@ HGPortfolio, yours aint too bad either!
@ Louise, Great minds think alike, I went for 3dculinaryprinters though.
@ 3dtablet, I personaly think that initialy for any type of object printer that: “3d…….printers/printing.com” are the better than without the 3d prefix,
@3ddomainnames, Well said!
SD: Why do you say I have 1/3 the domain experience as you? What do you base that on?
Quicksite- thanks for the support. You obviously have business and development experience so you look at things from a more practical perspective. It seems like people dismiss me, but there are a few that take it in and have over the years. They have made a lot of money following the tips and leads and that’s the bottom line. A year from now we can look at this thread and the outcomes will speak for themselves. Here’s what I do know:
1. The odds of registering a domain name with an idea in your head of what it could be and then turning it into an asset versus liability are very slim.
2. Anyone can take any domain listed here and with their own two hands and templates available for cheap or free turn it into a profitable business. All it takes is one.
3. I agree with most of what SD argues about trends and need for names, but I am addressing the distribution of products on the web. Sure there’s a huge market for apps- Apple’s downloaded 15 billion of them- but that’s the point- the apps are delivered by the owner of the phone OS not by shopping at a store. In most cases you go to a website on a mobile device and they suggest you download the app. In music and apps, the shopping has been taken out of buying.
4. I went to the movies today and the previews advertised either 3D, real 3D or digital 3D. Sprint is advertising an LCHDTV 3D 4G phone. Tomorrow it will be something else. But what sells it is branding (iphone, blackberry, android) backed by 100s of millions of dollars in advertising.
5. If you took the names on this thread to the consumer on the street, there may be 1 in 20 who could tell you what that means, is or does.
6. Over 30K unique visitors a month come to a site of mine and less than 1% arrive by typing in the domain. All the rest is the result of links they click on in Google, social media, emails and feeds because they are interested in the content and may never even notice the site its on or know who is behind it. More and more the content comes to the people versus the people coming to the site.
7. The Internet is a global medium. Most of the names on this thread would not connect with 70% of the potential visitors out there.
8. Lots of names listed here for printers and printing, but the biggest printing mfr out there Xerox, advertises FrugalColor.com rather than printing. You need to understand why before you can understand the potential of printing names.
Just picked up a drop , been reg’d since 2000 buy 1 person –
CloudBros.com
Thanks Leigh, I agree with you that, initially at least, the prefix 3d is good for generic printing categories.
For example I have :
3dgiftprinting.com
3dgiftdesigns.com
3dprintedgifts.com
cloudbro is open so is
3dBullshit
@Bulls
3DCowshit is better!!
@ NameJr, Please ignore him.
@3DTablet, In answer to your poll on the previous page, I like CulinaryPrinting. Of the printing categories, that one will drop off the 3D fast, IMO. And PrintedShoes for some reason. It sounds like a site you could browse printed shoes! You could showcase some ready-made printed shoes, like Coach boots, then the “print your own” could be an added treat! That’s your million-dollar property! Probably you should register, printed bags, and printed accessories (belts, phone cases, baseball caps).
@ Giles, thanx for posting cloud and 3D sales stats! Keep them coming!
@ iain, 3DPrinters.info is one of the best names on here! I like 3DPrinter.mobi. You could print from your mobile device!
@ HG, you have some fantastic dot coms there: JewelryPrinting, FoodPrinting, ToolPrinting, CandyPrinting.
@ NameJr, Nice name, CloudBros. If you could sell CloudTribe for $1000.00 plus, you can make a killing on CloudBros!
Name I registered yesterday: BrowserAuthentication dot com. Firefox is built on its BrowserID.org a neat security system for the browser!
@Louise
Thanks, I will do.
Some of the biggest brands include Bros in – Warner Bros, Mario Bros to name a few. CloudBros is the newest edition ( well………..a 10 year old newest edition )!
Cheers
CloudBro is still open
I reg cloudcomputingsucks couple days ago and I have offers already.
Life is good in the cloud.
@ Bulls
I reg’d Cowshitwebsites a couple of days ago and have already had offers.
Life is good in the shit.
@Louise
Culinaryprinting.com seems to be available. Why don’t you register it?
Hi HG, Go for it! printing progress is interesting, but I’m not going to register those, because I want to register only names I feel like developing!
After I registered BrowserAuthentication.com , came upon these headlines:
“PAYFONE: We authenticate a secure billing channel through the mobile browser or application.”
– Quick Fire Interview with Rodger Desai co-founder and CEO of Payfone
“The process is facilitated through a registration portal accessed via the browser.”
– SafeNet Launches Mobile Security Authentication Platform
Those two reference the mobile browser. That isn’t what I had in mind when I registered it – I am glad there are more applications of it than just Mozilla’s Firefox browser! Whew!
Yay Japan!!! 🙂

3DExperience (dot) Tv and (dot) info
@ louise
i never buy .mobi in fact this is my first and onl;y time and that was my thoughts behind buying it i can see where printing alongside mobile devices is heading
@ owen
i agree with some of what you said but a lot of sites/companies are building out as xxxxxxxx.com/3d-printing-services for example,theres going to be a monster market for this tech soon enough its going to be really competitive so clawing in the traffic will not be easy.
like all keyworded domains they help i know which one i would rather have but if you have a well established site then it makes sense to do like the example above but what about a new business venture rising up wouldnt they have a great start owning a name like this if they have a non existent internet presence ?
on the other side of the coin wouldnt it make sense for the established companies to grab all names like this to stifle the competition.
remember new tech= new enterprises and new competition
how else apart from paying out for seo and waiting will they get the same result
not ripping you apart here far from it but this is my view
I have only started my email campaigns with these and tbh i am being very selective at this moment in time whether they sell or not wont matter i will end up building them all out myself if need be

A blog I enjoy following is:
http://blog.rp-editorialservices.co.uk/
The author has been involved in 3d printing for over 20 years and they’ve written a lot of informative posts on the subject. The author refers to 3d printing as 3DP (I’ve registered over 30 ‘3DP’ related domains) as do many within the industry, with websites such as open3dp.me; aero3dp.com, aec3dp.com, pp3dp.com. I’ve said it before on this thread but I still think the best buy re 3d printing is 3DP.com, for sale on sedo for about £6500. If I could I would!
Cool link, @ iain!
I only have one 3d dot com, but have had a nice mid X,XXX. offer for it:
3dCloudTv.com
Time will tell if it will be worth more!
@ HGPortfolio
Thanks for the link.
I hand reg’d 3DPRI.COM a while back as an abbreviation of 3d printing.
What do you think?

Finally, the expression, “quad,” in an article related to picture quality:
Apple, Samsung, LG work on new LCD
http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2011/07/133_91113.html
“Apple’s upcoming iPad 3 will feature an improved display to support quad extended graphics (QXGA), a display resolution of 2048×1536 pixels with a 4:3 aspect ratio to provide full high definition (HD) viewing experience.”
Whew! Hand regg’d QuadTablet and QuadTablets to go with my QuadTelevision.
The story of QuadTelevision is: I had the dot net, and got an email offer for the dot com for $90.00 . . . So I looked it up, and it was available! That company doesn’t email me any longer . . .
Lots of opportunity in quad graphics!
@ Louise.
Brilliant! That gave me a chuckle.
Just ordered the LG Optimus 3D. I’ll post my thoughts on it in a few days time.
@ Leigh, thank you.
@ 3D Tablet, Aaaallll riiiiiight! Look forward to hearing your review!
Lol, here is a new advert for the Optimus 3D, they can only get away with this in Japan!

@leigh
3DPRI still doesn’t cut it like 3DP does in my opinion, but should this become the next disruptive technology as everyone is predicting, then there could be high demand for all types of 3d printing domains, 3DP and otherwise.
@ HGPortfolio.
Sure, I agree. If the term 3DP sticks though it’s still a xxxxx.com with 3dp in the title so could be a good pick up after all.
@ Namejr Great links. I think we can all read between the lines when he says:
“It is still thought by many in the TV display industry that good quality and limitation-free large screen auto-stereoscopic displays are some years away yet.”
and then goes on to say….
“At the moment it’s just a head-mounted display; the head isn’t being tracked – but that’s something we’re doing R&D on. I have to say, what we’ve done in the R&D projects has just been fantastic.”
Picked up another 2 drops, Cloud domains –
CloudPatrol.Com
MiamiCloud.Com
Cheers
@Namejr
Cloudpatrol.com particularly impressive!
@HGportfolio
Thanks mate, much appreciated.

a while back i took a wild guess and regged
3dmotionscan
today i read this
Depth Analysis, a Sydney-based technology company have developed a revolutionary new system that will change the face of 3D motion capture forever.
The new technology, named MotionScan, is the main star behind Rockstar Games’ 1950’s detective thriller, L.A Noire. MotionScan has enabled video game characters to express emotion by perfectly reproducing all the features of the face, such as frown lines, dimples, flaring nostrils, and sticky lips, by scanning in the movements of a trained actor.
oh almost forgot
guys check out the latest site on 3dprinting dot com
you will be amazed 🙂 ??
Here’s one you missed 3D emblems
http://www.pidplates.us/html/maker.en.html?regid=001500WO&type=US
That’s great, @iain! Isn’t it fun when you register a domain, and media or companies use the exact keywords? I registered QuadTablet yesterday in found out not just the iPad 3 but the Motorola Xoom is going to adopt 2048×1536 pixel resolution in a 4:3 ratio, setting a new standard in displays! It’s funny, isn’t it, about 3DPrinting? That’s the one that sold for a bunch, huh? That’s what developers do, put a WP template first.
Guess what! Good news: dualscreenphones ranks well in Google now. Just waiting on pins and needles to see if I am accepted for an affiliate advertiser for high tech. Amazon dropped all its California affiliates. Good riddance. DualScreenPhones has been live for five months. That’s how long it takes. So don’t expect page 1 results the first day, necessarily. 😀
@Louise
‘4k’ is what you want… but i beat u to it… sorry 🙂
• 4KTablet.com
– – – –
as for cloud names..
was curious what you all thought about the plural – for example
“GamingCloudS”
(Not my name – just an example)
i happen to see one available that i think is pretty strong but not sure on the ‘S’
..consider the social world we are building as well
*** btw…
a tablet will be too small to even notice the difference in screen resolution for 4k…
i grabbed 4kTablet more on the idea that they will feature a projector and be able to project in 4k resolution.
Not sure if I have posted these sales, but here are a few more.
These are sales from 2011 only
Cloudasp.com $1,970
DatabaseClouds.com $2,500
CloudContainer.com $10,000
OnCloud.com $2,151
CloudBook.net $2,000 (nice sale for a .net)
CloudSAAS.com $2,250
OnCloud9.com $2,300
CloudSide.com $1,200
Nice sales on the Cloud world. I am surprised that a plural (database cloudS) name sold for that much.
I hope that Cloud names really take off. I have a few action/verb cloud domains that I may build out later after I finish with my current 3D domains.
On a different note (off topic), has anyone signed up for the Google + yet?
I just got mine up today. I still need to work on it now to build it out. If anyone needs an invite (if you don’t have one already) let me know.
Cheers
People, cloud is over…it is overblown.
cloud sucks ,cloudcomputingsucks
time to move on to something new……..
There is no more sales on cloud anymore.
@ 3d Domain Names, Time will tell, my friend. Time will tell.
Interesting you observe 2048×1536 pixel density is not noticeable on a small screen . . . Did you read how iPad is becoming part of a – forgive me! – dual screen device: Real Racing 2 HD Dual-Screen iPad iOS 5 Hands-On Favorite
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXNct_Zs5TM
Is that the reason?
More dual screen:
Split Screen! sling Note App for the iPad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pFNXwW5G_g
It’s software which turns the iPad into a Courier.
Oh dear BullS, not another one, maybe if you research you will find some decent future trend names, I guess you were too slow on this one
A lot of nice sales happening for a tech that is “overblown” and “over” – Just last month I sold a cloud name for $7000 and I receive offers nearly every week on my other cloud names
Oops sorry Bull, here a few more recent ones for you
Cloud6.com $979
CloudLabor.com $2,372
CloudAdvisor.com $1,399
HKCloud.com $3,800
Cloudini.com $2,500
PropertyCloud.com $2,000
RedCloud.de $2,300
@Louise
4K’s greatest advantage is the size of the screen we will be able to make.. consider a 175″ screen, displaying at what is said to be the most crisp and clear picture ever created – your WALL becoming an entire screen… this will allow for “life size” telepresence, life size video conferencing, movie theater sized movies in your home, and even screensavers on your wall for any location you want (picture the Eiffel tower outside your house while you eat breakfast, or a tropical beach scene… this even gets married to 3d and tracking devices as you walk towards the screen – it will actually appear to move with your movement… if you stood to the right of the left of the display and looked to the right side of it, you will actually see what is supposed to be to the right – TRUE three dimension – quite amazing stuff)
… but this is why something like a tablet or a phone or even a regular 28″ monitor will not truly feel the effects and benefits of 4k resolution… they’re already being maximized with pixels at that size that they are so that there is no reason (or even room) to to use 4k resolution.
and sorry, but 4K is already the norm in the industry… quad has a pulse, but it’s like the difference in calling something ‘autosteroscopic’ or just 3d
– – – – – –
has anyone done any research on “Interactive Cloud Computing”?
for those that don’t know, take a look.. it’s the next wave

@ DMPartners, nice name!
@ Giles, thanx for cloud numbers – bit of a frenzy after the big news!
@ 3d Domain Names, interesting explanation – thanx! Did you view the video I posted? You really mean projecting, not mirroring . . . Glad I don’t stake my hopes on quad! About 80% of my domains are trash, but I have some to move forward with, thanx to @Stephen Douglas – yay! 😀 and @MBH, thanx! Yay! 😀
Who has page 1 listing for dual screen phones? I do. It means all 12 people who search dual screen phones can now find it.
@3d domains : Great comment on 4k benefits, you sure know your stuff.
Just read on this site that Condo.com and Houses.com have purchased Property.com and Properties.com Property.com for $4M + equity.
To me it makes sense to expect that real estate will be marketed in 3D in the future.
I hope so. I have 3DCondos.com
I hope so also we have homesforsale3d.com and homeforsale3d.com

////////////////
As they say in domains, a miss is as good as a mile. Property.com selling for a lot to condo.com does not make “3dcondos.com” worth anything. The name doesn’t really mean anything in my view.
3DCondos is a great name! It can be a directory of condos by state, highlighting 3D virtual tours! Condos are pretty much uniform, so a virtual tour would apply even more to a condo. They have pretty much duplicate blueprints.

Why would anyone specifically want to see 3d tours of condo’s? Any buyer of condo’s is going to go to their local realestate site.
Investment purposes.
“Why would anyone specifically want to see 3d tours of condo’s? Any buyer of condo’s is going to go to their local realestate site.”
Good question. It would be like the thousands of real estate sites that offer a 360 Degree tour of the homes/condos/apartments. It allows the user the ability to make a walk though or tour the home without physically being there.
So if you are looking in an area that is not near by, you can quickly get an idea of house layout by taking of the 3D tours offered.
But that is just my opinion. What do I know other then the investments that I have in real estate (my main investment area).
Cheers
“It would be like the thousands of real estate sites that offer a 360 Degree tour of the homes/condos/apartments.”
/////////////////////////
Right, but that doesn’t mean people will search out 3d tour sites just like they don’t look for virtual tour sites. It can just be added to regular listing on local sites, nobody is going to be looking for “a directory of condos by state, highlighting 3D virtual tours” which is what Louise is suggesting.
The technology may or may not be used in realestate, but that doesn’t make 3dcondos.com valuable.

Snoopy, I happen to agree with you. But be careful. I find that when logical business arguments are presented here, and you present a question asking for rationale, you get back vague ambiguous answers like Louise gave:
YOU ASKED:
[[[ Why would anyone specifically want to see 3d tours of condo’s? Any buyer of condo’s is going to go to their local realestate site. ]]]]
LOUISE answered:
((( Investment purposes. )))
A few comments:
1. Since I actually architect large commercial websites –vs rinkydink park pages — and my role is UX designer, and our job is to research and understand end user behavior and to then develop a web experience that gets people to the content they want with the least amount of friction and distraction — and rather — the fastest engagement of what they came there to do, I know that from the perspective of the real estate industry, everyone will simply be emplyoying these technologies and adding them to their existing listings.
As you and others have observed.
2. I have made this point repeatedly probably 1000 posts back with respect to MOVIES and finding content. People will go to AMAZON.com or itunes or netfix or comcast or hulu or existing movie streaming providers to get movie content… and as 3d movie content becomes available, it just gets added to their inventory — exactly as BLU-RAY versions of titles get designated.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, is going to go to 3DMOVIES.com to search for streaming movies content…. 3dMOVIES.com will just be a parked page.
3. Now, a huge pushback comes from domainers here who claim that this is exactly where the money will be made — in 2 ways:
(a) thru these parked pages — one guy repeatedly claims he will be making $250,000 in under a year and then multiply that by 4 or 5 in several years from now from his 3D domains. When I ask for some justification, his pushback is:
“*I* am certainly not going to tell you how I make money! Are you NUTS!!”
Yet I have asked AT LARGE here in this thread a handful of times: Could someone please explain the basic mechanism of how a parked page generates that kind of revenue. I’m not looking at secret sauce formulas, because I don’t believe there ARE any. It’s either factual, or it’s not. If it’s a profit sharing ad revenue model based on google ad words or search terms, OR NOT, I am amazed that not one person can simply DEFINE THE MECHANISM. How does the basic construct work where a parked page generates $250,000 per year or, as this person says, every several months ince its in high gear.
(b) The alternate way to make money is, as Louise says, as “investment”.
Again in this category of revenue generation I have sought straight dope answers re why people register so many of these domains which will never ever be developed into web properties that any business person is going to launch, nor is any brand name going to buy.
(c) In some cases the VAGUE ( — and it’s always vague, you will never get a business-like case study or actual two sentence answer from a single person here — they are either smackdowns saying “you don’t know shit about domains so you shouldn’t be here at all flapping your gums” or vague half sentences with zero detail ) reply may come where someone argues a BRAND NAME like Microsoft will buy a domain like (outside of the 3d category) “CELLPHONEAPPS” because it is in a category where they have a brand (WindowsPhone 7), and thus they would want it as generic search term domain, thus it is worth A LOT OF MONEY because Microsoft would want it, thus it could be sold for a lot of money)
(d) But then it generally boils down to the shell game: YOU scoop up “FUTURE TREND” domain names right now, speculating right now, taking all the risk, and spending $8.50 a pop on 1000 domains around 3D and holo and yadda yadda — and then you help drum up the buzz about the crazy worth of these amazing domains (THINK: DOTCOM 1.0 Bubble and what Morgan Stanley’s investment banking guru MARY MEEKER did on CSNBC and what Merrill Lynch’s Henry Blodgett did before the market crash of April 2000 …. and then Merrill fired Blodget as a fall-guy) ….. It was PUMP AND DUMP, PUMP AND DUMP.
The early players pumped up the perceived value of so many worthless dotcoms, persuaded so many people to buy into what Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan dubbed “irrational exhuberance” — which then lead to all these massive IPO’s, creating inflated stock prices… All the investment bankers (= early risk takers like here) then SOLD ALL THEIR SHARES —- the DUMP part of the equation) to the SUCKERS who hadn’t yet discovered the worthlessness of the house of cards…
And the shell game continued to be a game of risk — how long could you keep your money wrapped up in the game, doubling it, tripling it, quadrupling it, before safely pulling out before the fall occurred.
The head of the FUTURE TRENDS auction being talked about here, and who publishes regularly at Louise’s website, made the statement at this site, in this thread, that domain buying and selling was the most profitable business around where one could yield the highest return on investment.
Well, people can label me as they like. but I am a marketing/branding expert with credentials and years in national branding & ad campaigns in L.A. and San Francisco, for both the film industry and the tech industry, and it doesn’t take an expert to know that amongst the pool of domains people register or invent in their minds as new names, only a small percentage of them are actually going to be BRAND-WORTHY in a HUGE PRICE CATEGORY as in 6 figures. A ton of domains sell routinely on Sedo.com and HugeDomains.com for $2500 up to $10,000 …. But beyond that, it thins out… YES YES, you can point to X number of big ticket items, but when you amortize that across all the numbers of domains registered? It’s a teensy fractional percentage… So a teeny tiny slice of names will indeed be worth it to a buyer to pay $25,000… $100,000… $250,000 … $500,000 …. $1 million …. $5 million …. $10 million
But the rest are in the large valley of $2500-$5000
So, Louise, if you would be willing to answer:
When you say:
((( Investment purposes. )))
Which are you MOSTLY speaking of:
1. Buying early as a FUTURE TRENDS SPECULATOR, then selling your domain assets from your portfolio to OTHER DOMAINERS down the line making a profit?
2. Buying early as a FUTURE TRENDS SPECULATOR, then selling a few key domains to businesses who you believe will actually build a web property based on the domain name(s) you hold and are selling? — and making a profit from some high-ticket domain name sales?
3. Buying early as a FUTURE TRENDS SPECULATOR, then using these domains in parked ad / keyword search / revenue-generating scenarios to generate profit turning it into a great investment?
Thanks Louise, or anyone else who might answer.
@3d Domain Names —
sorry, you post an extended comment on July 14th.
======================================
I had not read it till tonight. Thanks, It was thoughtful, well presented and fair. And I take your constructive criticism to heart — as it was presented in a context of honesty vs “let me tell you how much of a dumbshit you are and how frikkin brilliant I am”. I’m extremely openminded and less combative when people speak factually and address matters with some sense of having heard what the other has to even say, or even some ounce of humility that just maybe there is a kernel of something to learn instead of the primping peacock “I know it all, don’t even presume to open your pinhole when you are addressing the Great One”.
The smartest people I know, with 25-30 years experience in their given areas of complete mastery, are the ones who are not smartasses, but always stay attuned to the possibility that there is something they don’t know –that someone else does. But when you have arrogance and hubris, and you point to your warchest and say “Look at me — look at my kingdom — and you dare seek to educate ME on any fact. I AM A MASTER” ? … Those are not the smartest people in the room. Those are not the Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Paul Allen, and so on. Those people listen. Those people get to THAT level by recognizing they DON’T know it all. They have sub-specialists in every single category, and what makes them brilliant, and billionaires, is starting with the very basic presumption: Tech & Business is complex. I am smart, but I’m smart enough to know I can’t possibly know it all.
So thank you for taking the time to read what I have said — and having had to decency to filter out the less-than-nice content and still process the content that has some meaning and value — vs assigning it all as junk.
As for another person’s comments re the length of my posts and bad spelling. Such trifles when one must divert attention from content. I don’t know how to type, and I am too lazy to spell check, so it’s kinesthetic error of two fingers, but the overdramatic yet empty-calorie snark doesn’t phase me.
I have some specific followups about what you had to say re your hard work, which I want to clarify. Sensible people will know to skip past this by seeing my picture and text block. But such a squabble over 10k size of disk space, when the beauty of the web is the almost unlimited nature of its territory. See next.
@3d Domain Names:
Addressing your July 14th thoughtful post, again, thank you, and apologies for not seeing it sooner.
LENGTH NOTE: Small Brains Alert: Please use your Page down button 5 or 6 or 7 times and this will glide you to your next post, bypassing this overly long one.
NAME NOTE: For some reason a Big Critic on this thread has a hissy fit regarding lack of my name here. It’s really hard to fathom the complaint when 80% or more of the posts here are authored by people under a pseudonym. I suppose Name Jr. is a perfectly acceptable name … Be that as it may, over the past months I tried posting multiple times on multiple browsers using my twitter account link in the website field of the posting form — and it has never successfully posted. So, I will paste it here:
http://twitter.com/#!/Richard_SF
It’s very easy from there to find my complete identity, and anyone who wants to, and who understands how to operate the world wide web, is welcome to do so. Such people can search my linkedin profile then. You can do lots of things. One thing it will be harder to do is be so smug.
Back to you, @3d Domain Names:
I have a great respect for people who work hard, and earn from offering real legitimate value. I completely get where you’re coming from (…Or I think so) re having worked in highly-labor intensive professions for many years. It’s a lot of wear and tear, you definitely earn your your keep, and you can point to exactly what you did that day that earns the commensurate pay. And the idea that anyone wants to either break out of that, or supplement that, or career change or explore, or even dabble just to see if it’s something they might be good at — I love that in the human spirit, and it’s fantastic that America has always enabled this kind of individual enterprise initiating driven by one’s willpower to succeed.
And despite what impression I might have given, I am a *huge* backer of the entrepreneurial risk-taker who invests — putting in time, energy, into market intelligence, studying future trends, anticipating demand, and buying properties that other people down the line might later want — but have not even given a moment’s thought to right now… And then being in position to then have ownership of something with some accruing value that someone is willing to pay for down the line. This is the essence of how the Western United States was developed, as stagecoach lines eventually predicted railroad lines, and people speculated in buying real property anticipating towns would be needed as rest-stops along the way of a journey.
Then highways once the automobile became mainstream affordable.
A great film that captures this milieu is Robert Towne’s great screenplay CHINATOWN directed by Roman Polanski, about piping in the huge aqueducts of water from northern California to southern California where it was all desert land… But this is a really great differentiation. There is HONEST speculation based on homework and analysis of trends and, back then, how the population is shifting west, and where roads would go, and anticipating hundreds of thousands of needs in the cast untapped great western states.
And there are the POWER BROKERS who play dishonestly, have insider knowledge, or, as in the plot of that movie, use their influence to cause certain choices of where and how critical infrastructure gets built, where the oil & gas deposits are for real vs the phony reports of “there’s tons of oil under that mountain there; I’d buy up that whole surrounding area if I were you”…. only to find that “tip” was a song and dance show with fake charts and graphs that persuaded someone less sophisticated but was nevertheless working earnestly to do their homework.
You saw the more recent movie, right, THERE WILL BE BLOOD — with the infamous line “I drink your milkshake”? … All sorts of variations of crafty means to pre-buy all the land surrounding either an existing asset or one that the monied people are going to force the politicians to place in their district or along their property line,and so on… And all the land gets snatched up long before anyone knows — effectively shutting out any competition for ownership along these huge new corridors which then form the backbone for transportation and utilities, which then drive real estate and so on.
So, you have in California (and other places), huge concentrations of ownership of entire regions from certain families, due to varieties of these factors:
True ingenuity & hard work; power plays; and — a big factor you mention — just having the sheer capital available to make the purchases at the time. There are people with the smarts and intuition, but without the capital, who don’t get to convert that knowledge and smarts into the profit they more rightly deserve than some WITH the capital who know nothing, put at the last minute someone tells them “I heard a tip you ought to buy THIS” —- and it’s the thing you’ve been trying to acquire on the down-low for the past 6 months. Sorry, you lose. You didn’t have the stockpile.
(( unlike some of the others, i do not have six or seven figure retirement dreams – just a hope to make some money, nothing more… there are some names that i know have some nice value – especially in the right hands – so i expect something more from, but i have no problem selling good names for a few hundred dollars to do nothing more than profit and renew… i’m not exactly a kidnapper of names with unrealistic expectations, just someone who thought they saw a time sensitive window to jump through))
***** Back to your post: I wasn’t dissing the idea of people making a profit from registering a domain and then selling it for a profit! But yes, I was making a distinction between that and holding names hostage for outrageous sums — aka — highway robbery — stagecoach robbery. That’s thuggery, not ingenuity. If you’ve registered a great name — a brandable name — (and not someone’s existing IP or brand name aka cybersquatting), then OF COURSE you should profit! Not just hundreds. Maybe thousand dollars profit or more. But I could cite examples to you of where $2000 – 5000 were offered for names that weren’t PRIME-A names, and whose “peers” were selling on Sedo at 1500-2000, yet you’d get these owners who would come back with figures like $20,000 …. Just assholes. And the point I’ve made is. THEY DON’T SELL. Years later, they don’t sell, and you look at SEDO stats and NO ONE ELSE has even looked at that domain, AND, before someone talks about $250,000 in parked revenue, NO F’ing way, not from the traffic stats by seed, domain watch, alexa and many other metrics.
**** These people were NOT making SHIT of those domains. They were just people greedy pricks. That’s the end of the story. And the fact is, this was recently confirmed to me, without my even asking, by a SEDO BROKER I hired for a recent series of acquisitions for a new web enterprise I am developing from scratch. He said “Oh. THAT guy. Yeah. Pshh. Have dealt with him many times. Filthy rich, owns a ton of domains. He could care less. It’s a numbers game for him. He always asks outrageous amounts. All he needs is for one or two times for someone to bite, and all the others he doesn’t care about. He’ll just keep them.”
“So he’d rather not even TRY to be reasonable and make $5000; he just holds out for $20,000 on all his names?”
“Yep… Really difficult to deal with too. Rude as can be. But, he has names that my clients want…”
********** Now I have no doubt that there are some, maybe MANY on this thread who think that is fantastic, and they salute that guy, and that is EXACTLY what they do, and they think that is GREAT capitalism at work.
Not me. I have a deep respect for capitalism, and for ingenuity. But not for ripoff artists and exploiters. I truly think exploiters are evil people, they have evil in their veins. There’s a HUGE gap between good profit, GREAT PROFIT, and outrageous ripoff over the barrel I’ve got you F’d profit. At the end of the day it comes down to one’s ethics and morals and character. Some people wouldn’t flinch poking an animal’s eye out if they could make a buck. And otters draw lines in the sand about what enough. That’s the distinction I have been making. I happen to believe in decency WHILE profiting enormously. I know multimillionaires who have made their millions via innovation that has saved lives, or made lives better. I love that. I think they should be billionaires. When real value is delivered, the sky is the limit. But when someone is squeezing you, that’s mafia, that’s crime zone. We just don’t classify it that — yet.
(( i am a designer that actually CAN build out sites – and i HAVE – but there is only one of me… virtually every day of my life i wish i had time to get to developing sites for real but just don’t have enough time in any given day… ))
**** I hear you. I admire you, and as I say above, so many people with the passion energy and talent and willpower lack capital or time to be able to be the force-multiplier to triple and quadruple their output. This is of course just a fact of life. A million novels, plays, movies, have been written about it. A parallel point is: entrepreneurs will all agree — it is VERY hard to find business partners. It;s as hard as finding your spouse — really hard. So, I hear you. And TIME is such a limiter there is nothing we can do about it. Some people hit luck. There are whole “success” books written on “The Luck Factor”…
(( while my intentions for many of these names are proper but reality is such that i just can’t do everything… wish i could do more with what i have but you need money to make money, so i hold on hoping i can ‘make money’ to build some of these out… time will tell.))
***** I wish you the very best… I am really glad you posted what you wrote. You are a great balancing rod and it’s great to hear and see a different side of the coin — people who are (analogy), not just buying and selling speculative properties, but who are trying to develop a shopping center or business or usage that matches the property…. as in, building a home on a property and then selling it, vs just having the lot and a photograph of an illustration of “you could build a great house here, or a hunting lodge, or an ice-cream shop”…..
***** DOING is so much harder than “a parked page” — which is why I have so much more respect for people who buy a property and develop it. My view is: Great — if your parked page is so firkin awesome in revenue, then take down your stupid sign “THIS DOMAIN FOR SALE” — and keep making your claimed $250,000 per quarter from your parked page —- and quit bothering people with cat & mouse games of they they try to buy it — and you say $100,000 — “That’s a bargain, because I can generate $250,000 in just 3 months”.
It’s a lie. And why do you people tolerate serial liars. WHO HERE MAKES THAT FROM A PARKED PAGE? I will pay $500 to anyone who will have an affidavit signed and notarized with certified income verifying that. I don’t need to see it. I just need a notary public to see it and verify it. That’ all. So let’s see one of you serial liars put up.
(( The whole ‘future trend’ world we are targeting goes MUCH MUCH further than smartphones and mobile computing… i believe Stephen when he says he is doing hours f research on certain things that even he was not aware of until he started putting this all together… the world is moving FAST and keeping up with ALL of it is pretty much impossible to do right now))
I completely agree. I just stumbled onto THIS thread after I found this site after a notice many months ago at sedo.com i think maybe about newportnews.com … i think… and it was an active topic. and i started to read it. and the more i read the comments, the more disbelief started to register, and the thread is a year old, and it’s astounding to me the vast majority of names I read and the cheerleading from the equivalents of Mary Meeker at Morgan Stanley and Henry Blodget at Merrill Lynch. It’s the exactly the same: PUMP & DUMP. Right now it’s all PUMP.
But sure, I completely get it that this 3d thing, and the whole sub-thread diversion of smartphones, are both themselves, just slivers of the whole concept of Future Trends. I get that completely.
(( not trying to create a rumble with you either – just trying to point a few things out in a constructive way. ))
**** And you did — And believe me when I say I know that I am completely guilty of over the top language and my own hyperbole. You, by contrast, wrote with total respect and great thoughtfulness. I admire that and appreciate it — especially that you took the time to do so. …. As you can tell, I still have some minor points of disagreement re The Celebrity, but I actually believe on pretty much everything else, we are way way closer to agreement than it may have seemed. You SHOULD profit. thanks!
Quicksite —
you should be institutionalized
-Frank
I’m still waiting for your response to my suggestion on page 61 of the comments, @ Quicksite.
I figured, Louise, no response to a simple question re “INVESTMENTS” — pretty much proving my case.
If i recall your suggestion was “Just apologize to him, he;s important”
But (a) why?
(b) what does that have to do with the question about investments?
Unless you are saying it is a contingent requirement and more of a command, vs a suggestion. In which case, why not just say the truth:
“I’m not talking to you til you apologize” (or for that matter, I’m not talking to you at all because you have been rude and won’t apologize)
I may think that is another weasly way to avoid ever answering the direct simple questions re the mechanics of “for investment purposes”, but at least it would be honest and forthcoming — something I can respect. Thank you for replying.
Incredible! You couldn’t go back to page 61 and check my suggestion to you? @Quicksite said:
“I don’t know: *how websites make money parking vs selling domains
(and nobody has answered it which is interesting)
* and how investors profit from parking + ad selling vs domain name selling
* why aged domains should have any bearing on a domain name’s worth, or whether it is just a bogus marketing tool used to create a feature that is irrelevant to a buyer
* what percentage of activity of most domainers is constant shifting of portfolios, trading up, trading down, trying to maintain inventories within certain categories
* what causes domainers to apply what Alan Greenspan called “irrational exhuberance” regarding the runup to thedotcom 1.0 bubble, yet ratchet it up exponentially, like 1000x the kinds of rates of return even Wall Street investment bankers expected to get for stocks during the dotcom boom
These are things I am proud to say I simply do not know these answers.”
That was fine and humble. Not that I’m an authority, but I responded:
“But, “cell?” Quicksite, you have many interesting things and practical experience to bring to the table, but how can you say the name, Cellphone is useless? I get, you mean strictly speaking, it’s yesterday. But when someone asks, “Do you have a cell?” “What is your cellphone number?” does it matter if the phone is feature or smart?
“Let’s pull together and increase our knowledge!
“To start, Quicksite, Andrew Rosener delivered a nice and lengthy interview to DomainSherpa how he valuates domains . . . Type Andrew Rosener in the search, and scroll down to, How To Value Generic Domain Names – with Andrew Rosener, click that then scroll down to Andrew Rosener Interview Key Take-Aways. It has a link to GAKT. That is a start. And the interview is recorded and in text.”
Guess you passed that over. I feel passed over. If you have an agenda, ignore me. If not, go to:

There is a link posted which I referenced, GAKT. This is going to open new worlds for you, and to anyone else reading this who doesn’t know about it. Everyone who posts here should also visit that link!
Furthermore, I checked devvyawards and like what you are doing. But there are better names available which I won’t post here, and there is no email address to email you, so I can’t tell you, either, because you have everything under privacy.

@Louise — Thanks very much for the very helpful and informative links. You’re absolutely correct, i had not gone back to check which suggestion you meant and presumed wrong. So I did make an ass of myself and owe you an apology. I apologize.
(( Guess you passed that over. I feel passed over. If you have an agenda, ignore me. If not, go to:

And thank you for the courtesy of pointing me back to your links to DomainSherpa, and to his amazing array of resources. He, and his site, were indeed all that you billed as. And I benefitted enormously from reading a bunch of articles, listening to a few of his video shows.
I did read the text condensed version of the Andrew Rosener interview — the key takeaways, as you suggested. I found it of interest but ultimately when I compared all that advice to the charts of sales and listings at Sedo, buydomains, etc, it generally seemed inflated. There’s a vested interest whenever someone within an industry creates a formula with multiplying factors — as “guides” for value. At the end of the day, I find it to be more “pump up the whole sealevel”…. And that is corroborated by this next link:
I also followed other links and found this astonishingly refreshing delivery of actionable truthfulness from an expert in buying domain names, and dealing with the hyperinflated prices, including those of Andrew Rosener.
http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/04/finding-and-buying-a-domain-name.html
I would not have found this without your leads, so again I thank you — particularly for extending help in spite of extended commentary I have made that has not been complementary to your industry. That’s a honorable action beyond what I could probably do, so I can only extend further praise upon you.
And thank you, yes I found the link to Google Adwords Keyword Tool. https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__u=1000000000&__c=1000000000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS#search.none
I still don’t know how to use it or how the whole contextual framework works. I’m a web business enterprise creator (schooled with Bill Gross at idealab during doctor 1.0), so I build things. I am not adept at these things. The domains I own are not for investment purposes — but — i have come to discover, via all the boasting, that the hundreds of domains I own, could be generating revenue for me, and I could use the money badly to pump into the site architecture, development, branding, buildout and marketing of these enterprises.
This is why I have asked repeatedly for someone to explain and back up their claims. But after several months here, not one person has. So, I have now begun to place ads at various domain communities to pay people to answer the questions I can’t get answered here, so I will eventually get the answers re each of the items below. I am certain that at DNforum where I have a lifetime membership I will get the straightforwardness I have sought — which you have now provided me a window to.
I apologize I didn’t follow the link earlier, it;s my fault. It’s just not inviting when one starts (me) by suggesting “I think a lot of this stuff is inflated” but provide thorough rationales many months ago re movie industry and real estate industry. My posts spoke of virtual tours of Hong Kong etc. Only to get slammed for not buying into the goldrush mentality of “every 3R word is a goldmine”.
I’m not going to, as the Prez likes to say, “relitigate all of that” because there is an audience of 2 people here who even finds it of interest.
I mentioned I stumbled upon this site after the newportnews IP story, and found this thread … that’s the only reason. Otherwise I was fine at DNforum and places where rationality prevails. But yes, I went overboard multiple times — principally because every time someone within your community, like owen framer, made extremely informed comments, he either (1) got completely ignored or (2) trashed and told he didn’t know what he was talking about. That astonished me. … As though there were ONE GURU here, and everyone else is an apprentice? Nobody has to agree with Owen re his views about traffic driving and apps — but to dismiss his LOGIC and his knowledge of things the respondents CLEARLY knew nothing about — and got busted for it, that’s really foolhardy. I just felt like defending Owen in the subject matter areas I happened to have expertise in, it’s that simple.
So when Guru came and made his extraordinary claim — it escalated what would have been a closed subject. Guru had no humility. And what happens is when gurus have their asses fried revealing they don’t know what they’re talking about IN ONE PARTICULAR SUBSET TOPIC AREA, the insecure ones FIGHT, and come out swinging, and put on a big show, pounding chests, and trying to song and dance their way into trying to obliterate or humiliate those with the knowledge. POLITICS does this routinely.
(( Louise said: I checked devvyawards and like what you are doing. But there are better names available which I won’t post here))
Thank you for the backhanded compliment. This began as a volunteer achievement awards program with XDA-developers, but rapidly expanded and went beyond. You can see the early ad for it from earlier this year, maybe it will make more sense to you. There is absolutely no better name for it and if there is I invite you to create it and compete with me. Because this will be the grammys/emmys/webbys of developer awards for touchscreen applications from now till kingdom come.

**** I’d like to thank the site owner for his amazing patience and latitude, his expert framings of news stories, and his extraordinary tolerance — particularly for people like me. So I tip my hat to you sir. You are a real class act. Since, though, I have a fundamental world view that is in opposition to the premise of this site and community, it’s best I not post further in this thread or topic. I hope to keep up with reading your site. Thank you for this great resource you have provided for free. I greatly appreciate it.

TechCrunch 3D hurts you eyes
http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/22/who-could-have-guessed-3d-hurts-your-eyes/
Thank you for your nice post, @Quicksite.
We can use tact in pointing out someone else’s error. 80% of my domains are lame and set to drop – I’m the last person who knows anything, but I have a good intuition. Mostly I have to eat my words when I think I know better. I learn alot from you-all.
So I’m sure the most popular and highly rated comment that we agree is a seminal post by Fred Wilson of Union Square Venture in his blog,
Finding And Buying A Domain Name
http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/04/finding-and-buying-a-domain-name.html
that even author Fred Wilson posted in response to that comment, “This is 100x better than my post. and you should post this somewhere in addition to the AVC comments.” The Guest comment looks like it was written by Stephen Douglas. He shares alot! Stephen shares insider info and tips how to purchase a domain name in today’s market. But he never admit it.
Given time, you will see Stephen Douglas is most generous and engaging. Many domainers are nice. Thanx for your thought to “thank the site owner for his amazing patience and latitude, his expert framings of news stories, and his extraordinary tolerance” – I 2nd that! But he must get a chuckle over some of the musings here as well – it isn’t all one-sided!
If you figure out how to work the GAKT, it is an insight into human behavior around the world!
@quicksite I’m getting tired of having to scroll down your half page long comments. Do you really think we’re that interested in what you have to say?
But I did catch the bit where you complain that the people here that you’ve been calling clueless idiots wont give you detailed instructions on how to make thousands from names that you’re insistent have zero value.
@everybody else : Regarding the Tech Crunch link on how 3D hurts the eyes – this will diminish in time as 1/ the technology improves so that the ‘convergence point’ for the eyes becomes increasingly natural and seamless, and 2/ people get used to watching in 3D.
3Dbullshit dot com is open and it reflects the value of 3Ds
watching 3D is bad for your eyes.
Hi,
@ iain
This has been my feeling for along time…that 3d video will become huge…
Sometime 😉
I started this little project a while ago…but have not been able to gain much traction yet…
Take a look at the “Gopro” videos… quite good.
If you have any 3dvideos you would like to upload…please be my guess. 😉
I could use the support…. 😉

Pearl Media CEO Josh Cohen ks 3-D is the new HD:
“People were very skeptical of HD as well. In the next three to five years, when the right price range hits, [3-D] will be the norm in everyone’s household. You are seeing networks and studios investing; hardware and content need to catch up. It will continue to evolve to where stereoscopic lenses won’t be needed, etc.”

‘College Humor’ joins first wave of Nintendo 3DS video
http://articles.cnn.com/2011-07-25/tech/college.humor.nintendo.3ds_1_nintendo-3ds-video-game-handheld-gaming-device?_s=PM:TECH
@Louise – interesting, given that I have 3DHumor.com (another one of my worthless $9 hand registered names).
Recieved my LG Optimus 3D this week. Absolutely fantastic. Thing I’m enjoying most is the 3D video camera. Very convincing and playing recordings back is like looking through a window. The sweet spot is much bigger than I expected, fine for a mobile device unless you want to wave it about whilst watching videos.
The only dissapointment is that it’s hard to import 3D videos onto the phone (you can, of course, play YouTube 3D on it, or easily upload your recored 3d videos to YouTube). All the pre-loaded 3D videos and movie trailers are in a .DM format. It will be silly if each of the 3D phones have their own 3D video formats.
@ 3DTablet
I have not officially launch this site yet, but you are welcomed to upload any “3D” videos you would like. (so is anyone else BTW) 😉
There are some pretty cool ones already on the site:
I would suggest these two as pretty good:
“GoPro 3D: Highlight Reel 2011 3DViral”
___
Since “3D” Printing is huge….
“ZCorporation 450 3D Printer In Action Rapid Prototyping
3DViral ”
Not all are “3D” as for the moment, I am allowing high quality “HD” videos to be uploaded…until the ‘3D video uploading’ market matures more.
What really pisses me of is that “Gopro” keeps turning me down as an affiliate…you would think my site would be a perfect match for them… as they have a great “3D” setup for their cameras.
Anyway… I was going to try and just email you this, but I could not find any contact information for.

There is another update to the FT auction.
Just an FYI if you are interested.
Cheers
@ dan
i setup a site last year but ended up taking it back down due to lack of content out there but it was adult vids,once it gets more mainstream i will be setting it back up along with a lot more so if you want keep in contact we could work together if you are interested in adult vids.
just think of the potential of 3d mobile videos upload 🙂
good to see the auction getting closer seen a bit of marketing done by stephen over the net in several places
all good 🙂
@ iain
Can you make a post with a live link…that I can get your contact email…
I am not into ‘adult’ things’…but I could not help myself and I have a few “3D” ones on the topic…you may find very interesting…if you want to take a look, maybe we could JV something..I could give you a domain or more, and you could handle things from there 🙂
Peace
‘D’
BTW: yes, great news about the auction….
@ Dan, 3DViral is a cool site – nice going!
@ Francois opened up his directory and created a separate category for us: http://www.domaining.com/directory/domain-trends If you have a portfolio page or website of your future trend domains, you should send a brief description and a 150 X 80 logo to info at cax dot com. To qualify, you need a Domaining logo on your homepage. My graphic artist, Ioana, is helping someone get a logo together. She is a dream to work with. I’ll forward her info to you, if you want to contact me: louise at emergingdomains dot com.
@Dan
3dViral.com looks a great site. I’m off to Barcelona for 2 weeks, so I’ll try to take a couple of good tourist videos of Las Ramblas and so on.

This is my entry to the auction, which has informal acceptance. only. Might as well build it up to make $$ . . .
Amazon doesn’t want to charge CA customers regular tax, so it dropped all 10,000 CA affiliates, including me. Now, I’m trying to find replacements for my accessories showcase! After I switch the links to a new affiliate, I’ll finish 3dsLaunchTitles and then, mail end users a postcard about Emerging Domains.
Well I got the email from Stephen that 3D Database has been accepted into the FT auction.
So I guess its time to wait and see what happens.
Cheers
I’ve had 3 domains accepted for the FT auction (Thanks Stephen :)):
3dlaserprinting.com
Phones3d.com
Holodeals.com
Now just have the daunting task of writing up a total of 450 words to accompany them all….
@ HGportfolio,
Very nice domains….best with all of them.
IMHO…Really like: 3dlaserprinting .com
Best,

@Dan
Cheers, I’ve kept the reserves relatively low.
ie Holodeals.com at $1200.
@HG
I am curious about the 3D laser printing. I haven’t done any research on it but do the 3D printers use lasers?
I know 3D laser scanning is a big deal. I guess I just automatically assumed that all 3D printers would be the inkjet type.
On a different subject, here is my list that did NOT make it in.
3DBIO-PRINTER.COM
DESKTOP3DSCANNER.COM
SENSEEXPERIENCE.COM
Anyways,… cheers

I was allowed to submit one domain for the FT auction, thanks to Stephen Douglas:
CloudintheCloud .com with very low reserve.
I am no tech guy but have my own clear imagination of this future service, a premium cloud computing space.
@Jack
Don’t know that much about 3D laser printing myself, (as I’m just a lowly future trend domain investor), but its technical name is Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), a process that does use a high powered laser to fuse materials into a 3D object, ie. steel, titanium, glass, ceramics, nylon, etc. “3d laser printing” gets over 100,000 exact matches, plus it may be a simpler term for the masses to use rather than “Selective Laser Sintering”.
Hi guys,
Just picked up –
MobileWalletBlog.com
Cheers
….Im also putting –
3DConsole.Com
Into the FT Auction with $99 reserve.
Cheers
@ NameJr, Nice longtail, mobilewalletblog! Wow! Talk about sacrifice! What happened since you were holding out for higher?
3DDesignSoftware.com was officially invited. What happened to @ Stephen’s blog? It always makes me nervous when it’s down. Maybe down for maintenance.
@Louise
Stephen has put a lot of time and effort into this auction, me putting in – 3DConsole.com for $99 will hopefully ruffle a few feathers and might attract more attention to the auction, who knows?
….I could end up selling it for $99! All for the cause.
Cheers
I thought mine was sacrifice, at low xxxx. Your is really sacrifice!
@Louise
Fortune favours the brave!

3DSmartphone.Com is also going into the auction but with a higher reserve.
Cheers
HoloHandsets.com will also be in. Just writing the pitch for it now.
Congratulations, @ Lucy!
I must say, I am looking forward to see all the “holo” domains that have been accepted.
HoloPrinting.com sold last week for low £x,xxx
3dgta.com, 3dhdtvs.co, 3dproducer and plural.Coms. And more. I have em
Ok… this is upsetting.
So I send in my 150 word deal to Stephen. No big deal, I am not too worried about it either which way.
In it, I mentioned that within Google search 3D Database would popup as the top suggested search with as little as “3d da” being typed in.
This was true yesterday (when I sent it in) and for the last few months. I have been working on it to get it up there.
Now this pisses me off. Today…
3D Dancing Baby
comes up as the top suggestion for typing in “3D Da”!!!
What the hell!!!
Something like this normally doesn’t ruffle my feathers but I just sent out my 150 word deal and now it happens.
Anyways, just wanted to vent.

I suppose if 3Dconsole.com doesn’t budge for a hundred dollars, it’ll put a lot of us on the straight and narrow in regard to our own domains. It’s going to be fascinating to see how this auction pans out, which domains have been selected, what kind of reserves have been placed, what will sell, how many sell. Ultimately, we’ve all been investing in a perceived future that may or may not happen, so succeed or fail, only time will truly tell, not this auction or the next…
Congrats to everybody with names accepted to the much anticipated F/T Auction!!
Thanks You to Stephen Douglas for assembling the whole thing and putting us all on the map – I wish you – and us – the best of luck… I hope it is all worth your time, energy and aggravation.
I didn’t submit any dot coms, I felt it was too soon to do so with what I have – no 3d or holo, no telematics, no haptics or telepresence… I only submitted .co.UK names to test the waters, although they are probably some of the better UK names around.
These three names were all accepted:
• 3dGame.co.uk
• Games3d.co.uk
• Movies3d.co.uk
modest reserves… low $x,xxx
would like to think I found a nice sweet spot to invite bidding without giving those names away.
also, in other news 🙂
… I had a backorder on a holo name that has been registered since 2000 fall into my account today… Thank You GD… VERY excited about this name:
• MobileHolograms.com
especially powerful, considering I already own MobileHolographic.com and a nice brandable that I really like alot, MobiHolo.com
Best of luck to everybody on the auction… and thanks as well to Mr. Berkens for this blog and this post that seems will never die or slow down!! Your blog as a whole is top notch and filled with incredible domaining news every day!!
One of my domains got accepted as well – 3DTouch(dot)TV
Congratulations, @ 3DDomainNames & @ Domaincurry!!! Long time no see! MobileHolograms sounds like a winner!
If your names haven’t been accepted for the first auction, EmergingDomains is still on path to do a formal mailing to end users so those listed there will receive exposure in high places. If you have one you want to offer xx-xxxx, email louise [at] emergingdomains dot com and I’ll tweet it.
I had 3 accepted for the auction:
3donlinegamer.com
3dresidential.com
3dcakeprinters.com
Brought the reserve down quite substantialy for 3donlinegamer but the other two were accepted at submitted reserve.
Just as everyone here is, I’m very excited to see how it pans out.
Much respeect to SD for getting this off the ground!
Also over the past week I seem to be getting a lot more hits on brandable future trend domains I have listed on Sedo. (cloud and 3d in particular)
Not sure if it’s end users or domainers checking on domains that are already reg’d.
Hi Everyone,
Such nice things being said about me. That’s pretty cool. I’ve overcome a six week crushed elbow injury (back in June/July where I narrowly avoided $10,000 in exploratory surgery), some inflammatory insect infiltrations. bouts of joint torture, where the drugs he doctors give you are worse than anything you can imagine( to avoid the exploratory surgury), yet, as soon as it’s all cleared up, you feel like you’re 18 again… for about 2 weeks, and then they want you to start that crap all over again. It is similar, but not as worse as chemotherapy for cancer… God BLESS THOSE PEOPLE. Has anyone experienced this type of doctor/prescription torture? I’ll give you a wide open forum to state your case at http://www.successclick.com. And for any of you having family members or yourself having to unergo what you have to endure… my heart and soul goes out to you. It’s a bitch — but YOU CAN BEAT IT!!! Get a tattoo of your favorite badass monstor, and underneath it, the Swedish Viking words: “Slå dig illa, tik”
If you’ve submitted all your domains, you should be getting a “congrats” email from Snapnames. Every domain you submitted that matches what I personally told you was accepted should be acepted into the Future Trend Domain Auction™. IGNORE ANY TEXT ON THE RETURN EMAIL THAT ASKS YOU TO JUSTIFY YOUR DOMAINS. THEY’VE ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED NO WORRIES
I will be sending out on Friday, once SnapMon confirms what domains have been accepted and that have been registered officially, a blog article spelling out EXACTLY what you need to do to define your domains, so that we can send out a PDF file catalog that explains every domain and how you can determine its worth..
Pretty cool yes?
Thank you all, especially Embee, for all your support in making the Future Trend Domain Auction™ THE MOST RECOGNIZED CATEGORY DOMAIN AUCTION IN HISTORY.
This isn’t an accomplishment recognition from me, this is TOTALLY a promotion of an event encouraged by YOU!
I’m so amazed to see, for the first time ever, domainers coming together to work hard and help produce an event that surpasses any other domain auction “theme” in domain history. We hope this first event gets some interesting buyers!
Hi @ Stephen, Sorry you had such a hard time – didn’t realize the extent! At least you have two weeks of reprieve until the treatment repeats! A friend with a knee problem who had to take cortisol and eventually have surgery didn’t suffer as much as you did . . . That Oregon is pretty wild, eh? What with inflamatory insect infiltrations and wild animals!

@ NameJr
Your putting 3Dconsole.com up for $99 is going to be the talk of the auction. That is so huge, you got the cajones on that move. You can bet that I’ll be bidding it up — it’s one of the best domains in the auction. Can’t wait to see the wild results on that one!
@Louise — yeah, I have an estuary (creek and pond) on my property, and the hornets, spiders, mosquitoes all have you marked with a bullseye. lol… The each one of the insects like the INSIDE of our house instead of outside… lol.
Check for blog on http://www.successclick.com explaining how to SUBMIT your domain information and reserve. The main issue for us now is that you submit your information with a NEW email and the SUBJECT line should say “FT AUCTION DOMAIN INFORMATION FOR PDF”
That will help separate it from the hundreds of other emails received for initial submission.
We’re not accepting any information for the domains that are not sent with the SUBJECT line stated as above. More info on our blog today or in a day or so.
Thanks for everyone’s support and assistance on the auction.
P.S. If you submitted domains for the auction but DID NOT GET A RESPONSE BACK FROM ME, please contact me with the SUBJECT line saying “FT RESUBMISSION”. That will tell me that we may have missed your email.
Thanks all!
So far this year 9 of my higher-earning sites on Epik averaged $25.00 / month, of which I get 50%, enough to justify the renewal fee . . . of 150 set to drop within 60 days I don’t know . . . if I can justify renewing 10, I’ll be happy. That will whittle my portfolio down . . . but I already spent the $30.00 I am due this month from Epik on 3 new dot coms:
TaptoFund
DualFile
DualLayout
Next year will be the dilemma. But I want to give each domain personal attention . . . but you have to make decisions. Don’t worry: of the ones I let drop, not even Moniker wants to hang on! That is, I see a few are available!

@HGPortfolio,
In my view this auction is going to be a huge reality pill. Stuff like 3dtouch.tv & 3dresidential.com have been deemed the “best of the best”. Lots of people talking about names they hope to sell and very little discussion about anything else (eg names that might actually be worth something).
For stuff like 3d for example interest seems to have already peaked perhaps 12-18 months ago so if those names aren’t saleable now personally I don’t think they ever will be.
I’d be surprised if this auction sold more than a handful of the couple of hundred names up for auction. If the initial list started at 2000 submissions then that is just awful because it is probably 50k spent on reg fees (assuming people have had names 2-3 years) for something that is going to produce very little actual revenue.
As far as interest in 3D already peaking, I think its still too early to predict. Sony and Samsung have 3D phones in the pipeline, and Apple have a few 3D patents of their own so another 12 months will give the world a clearer picture if 3D is here to stay or not imo..3D films might be another issue all together, but personally, I don’t expect technology to suddenly plateau, and for the next few years to remain in 2D. Don’t forget, Holo is just around the corner 🙂
Just curious if anyone has submitted their “accepted” names into Snapanmes and then tried to lower the reserve.
I can’t seem to find the names to do this? Any ideas?
@ Snoopy,
Geez Snoop, it’s nice of you to confirm what my plan for the Future Trend Domain Auction™ has been from day one.
I guarantee you the 3DConsole.com will sell for more than it’s “reserve price”. lol
I predict if you see 3Dconsole bidding at $500, you’ll throw in a bid or two… I know I will.
regards////
Could we please get this auction over so everyone can waste their money on the next big thing?
If you sit back and read what is being said, you can really tell who has real work experience and who are the ones tho just sit behind a desk all day long.
I will just give you a for insistence.
Bill Gates huddled about a 100 potential investors in a room and gave them a speech on what he purposed to do. He did not have a working model. He didnt have much of anything to be honest. Just some drive, some know how, and a willingness to get ask people to invest.
MOST walked out thinking he was crazy. Only a handful had a little faith. Those people are referred to as investors. They saw potential when most saw none. To those who had the vision came the biggest rewards and now those people who invested went from being financially ok to Billionaires.
The same story can be said about Starbucks, McDonalds, and any other major industry leader. In all it takes people with the foresight to see things that WILL BE happening down the road and get them selves in FRONT of it BEFORE it happens.
Most people who had the foresight (back when domains first began) bought the domains and held onto them. Now we all know those are the most valuable domains.
In essence those who sit here and complain about what other people are doing with their own money reminds me of those who did not have the vision.
If Microsoft failed, it would only effect those who invested.
If NO ONE invested in Microsoft… it would never have launched.
If everyone had invested in Microsoft, there would be a lot more Billionaires now.
Just putting my 2 cents out there. Wishing that people would get out from behind their desks more often and see how the world ACTUALLY works and all facets.
Cheers

“I guarantee you the 3DConsole.com will sell for more than it’s “reserve price”. lol”
/////////////
@Stephen, I guarantee it as well because the reserve is $99 is it not?
I said “I’d be surprised if this auction sold more than a handful of the couple of hundred names up for auction.”
The auction will have a clearance rate in the low single digits in my view, most people would call that a disaster and the reason is extremely low quality names. The interest in among sellers, not buyers. Getting people to write an essay on each name won’t change anything (in fact many people would consider that the definition of a bad name).
How do I check the domains in the FT auction?
Finally, today finished converting Amazon links to 3 different affiliate networks . . . it’s tough to feature products from all-in-one source like Amazon, after importing the showcase to new template. The announcement for the showcase is first on the sliding banner . . . Do you think it’s too much? @ Anyone? Thanx!

Tap to Fund!
I like that name. That is thinking ahead there.
Good reg.

A couple days ago, it occurred to me, credit card or mobile phone service will be too limiting. There needs to be a secure credit card or paypal-type source for purchases, and those need to be funded.
Yesterday I registered:

based on the article. Think I’ll add Visa to my list of End Users, and mention the domains when I snailmail the head of Visa!
I regged JoblessFuture.com ,americanDowngrade. and americandowngraded.com–all have hits already and potential buyers

Everyone, the Future Trend Auction is listed on moniker and snapnames, due on – Aug 30, 2011
3:15pm ET
Sorry, It starts 24th and ends 30th.
…..Im not sure why they state the end date and not the start?
Does anyone know why they do this?
They always list the end date
Great! Thanks NameJR
wow, has anyone seen the list, wow!!!!
The list
http://showcase.snapnames.com/2011/08/future-trend-domain-auction-auction
So happy you guys are developing and putting a page up for your domains – woohooo!!!
Look what sneaky JV has been up to:
http://www.destinysweb.com
Congrats, JV! It’s nice-looking, and it explains through an image what the categories are!
Anybody looking to be indexed on Francois’ site, I’m sure he’ll still consider for listing at no charge . . .
@ NameJr, look! 3DConsole is $201 – $500 – I knew they don’t sell below, $300.00. It would be nice to bid $99.00, but investors have to start at $300.00. Thanx for the heads-up on the fun list!
And to think absolutely none of these names were picked. But 3DCakePrinters.com was for 50K. Can you say sandbagged,
3DMammogram.org
3DExpressprinting.com
3DTVEverywhere.com
ArtGallery3D.com
Yoga3D.com
Bras3D.com
Eyes3D.com
Makeover3D.com
PlasticSurgery3D.com
3DPrivateCloud.com
3DMobileNetwork.com
@ dmpartners
I think you’ll find that’s $22,000
If you look into 3d food printing then you’ll realise that 3dcakeprinters is actualy an incredibly strong domain.
Well dang! I own 3dfoodprinting.com and didn’t think of entering it.
@Dmpartners
We can all argue about our domains that were not accepted , 3DMobilePhones.com was accepted for $50-$100k and my MobilePhones3D.com was not accepted , but there will be other FT Auctions that they might get accepted into. Best not to finger point at this stage, we will all look daft if we do.
Cheers
@Leigh
Who looks at 3D Food Printing? I never heard of it, I do know people look at 3DMammograms more than 3D Cake Printing. 3D Mammography is a huge break through for Breast Cancer patients,
Wish you luck with the cake domain I don’t see it.
3-Dtoys.com? for 25 k – 50k ?
What about 3D.com where is that one? To much was passed over IMO
@dmpartners
🙂 I hear you, I had no idea about it until Louise posted a link a few months back about food printing, I did some more research.
Both Exeter University in the UK and Cornells University in the States have been working on projects with 3d food printers, It’s going to be Huge!…
….AND MARKETABLE! As brilliant as 3Dmammograms are doubt many people will be going online to buy a 3d mammogram.
Could be an excellent resource site though.
Ive got my eyes on a few domains in the list, might have to have a bid or two.
Cheers
Guess what news reminded me to renew FacePhoneChat, my first future trend domain name?

Which according to you all are the top 5 domains that have a good chance of actually selling? My favourite top 5 are :
1. 3DChannel (dot) com – awesome name, has great potential! The name itself says it all
2. 3DTouch (dot) Tv – another kickass name with a low reserve; future of how we communicate with our gadgets
3. 3Dconsole (dot) com – I like it !
4. 3Dadvertising (dot) com – 3D ad creation and display both have huge potential in the near future
5. Time voyage (dot) com – a very good name considering the low reserve. Extremely futuristic
Would love to hear different opinions and the top 5 according to more enthusiasts out here!
maybe just me

seriously ?
out all the names these make it ?
not dissing the names just know for a fact 100% better names are owned by some here
still hope it goes well for owners but i am a bit miffed ?
Iain
Its obvious that the names that were picked were probably from the people who paid for the SC site subscription, Its funny how 3dadvertising.com is there happens to be his own name, The auction is doomed the names are horrific , Where is 3d.com? That should be name number 1, We are glad we are not in it our names would be degraded in value,
dmpartners,
There is no way the owner of 3d.com would list in an auction like that. I agree with “degraded by association” suggest but the reality is these are probably close to the best of what was submitted. People complain about their own names not getting in and those names are utter rubbish as well. Of course everything thinks there own names are somehow good yet weren’t chosen…..yeah ok.
The crux of the problem is not what was submitted, it is not what was chosen. The crux of the problem is that there is no demand for this style of name. There is a long line of sellers and no buyers for 97% of those names, it is junkfest.
Snoopy
Where is 3d.com? The name was up for sale some time ago. What happened to it did it sell? Our names blow away almost every name on the list weather you agree or not. You may be right to soon more sellers than buyers, 3DMammogram.org HUGE right now as the first 3DMammography machine is in place. You don’t think women all across the world won’t be searching for that procedure? We do . Poker in the US about 24 month away from being legalized. 3DPokerNetwork.com big name for 3D tablets PCs smart tvs etc. 3DMobile Phones 3D Cloud names etc. Very lame effort on the part of the organizers of this auction. I would pull my names if I was in it,
I expected all coms if i knew i would have submitted others lol
Our names blow away almost every name on the list weather you agree or not.
///////////////
@dmpartners,
The names you listed before are completely worthless. My advice is to be very careful about registering further names or paying for renewals. The fact that none of them were chosen for the auction should be ringing alarm bells for you. Either take these indications onboard or ignore them at your own financial peril.
I think some of you are all being a bit dramatic here and need to step back for a second and re-evaluate.
… @DMP… one quick thing about your names… your names are virtually all, what i would call brandables and not exact search names, which from what i have come to learn, is what is ‘mostly’ featured in domain auctions… so please take that into account
3dAdvertiing, whether SD’s name or not – is probably the highlight of the auction. How could you possibly think ‘the fix’ is on when that name is by far better than anything else there??
I agree there are some ‘not so great’ names in this auction, and some of the reserves seem awfully high, but i also don’t think everybody put there best foot forward just yet either… i know i didn’t.. i didn’t submit one dot com, not one holo name, not a 4k or telepresence name, no robotics…etc….. nothing that isn’t quite ready yet to sell… i would say i have about 20-30 holographic/hologram domains alone that would have easily been accepted and starred in this auction, but i wouldn’t even consider submitting them this early… WHY ?? NO ONE is going to pay top dollar to “speculate”… this is why names like 3dAdvertising.com, and 3dChannels.com and CloudComputingServices.com and names that are already somewhat matured, are all ready for this auction… ironically enough, those names are no longer really ‘Future Trends’, but more like ‘Today’s Trends’ … funny how that has worked out.
If you ask me, if this doesn’t go over well, it’s only going to be because the reserves on many of these names are SO high for tech that’s just not ready yet – nothing more… this is also the same reason many of these people probably shouldn’t have submitted these names just yet… it’s a classic catch-22… damned if you do, damned if you don’t…
… for me, i submitted 3dGame.co.uk at , what i would like to think is a reasonable reserve for a name like this (LESS than $5k), and i think it’s actually a ‘timeless’ name, like ‘3dMovies’ would be timeless… and after seeing some of the reserves, probably has a better chance at selling – i think that name is a STEAL at that amount… i don’t think it takes a genius to see the value 3d is having on gaming right now and in the very near future.
@SD
… i know you don’t need any reassurance from anybody, but for what it’s worth, i appreciate your work, your time and your efforts in putting this all together and putting this all in motion… it seems that ‘some’ people have and HAVE HAD very unreasonable expectations of you and this auction… so be it… i’m happy to be a part of it, so thanks for that.
to everybody else… BEST OF LUCK
… i hope to hear some good news from some of you/us at the end of this auction.
BIG FATTY 🙂
Sorry Snoop but can’t agree at all sounds like you missed the boat,
3D Mammogram.org worthless Yea ok. 3DPokerNetwork.com which TWOP guys are considering worthless Sure If you say so. Yoga3d.com yea that’s worthless,
Your worthless advice went right in the ignore file.
3DDomains
Long time Sure there brand-able names and they are worth a allot more because of that fact companies will come a knocking not consumers, I know why our names were not picked it’s not a big secret. No biggie, Good luck to all in the show,
Well said 3D Domain Names
I think everyone just needds to chill out a bit and see what happens. stop complaing about what names weren’t accepted and riduculing the names that were accepted.
This is a first of its kind, so lets just see what happens?
Good luck all
some nice names there like 3dgame.co.uk awesome price i totally agree
a lot of work went into this just how many guys here could make an auction at moniker happen
my guess is none no wait thats not a guess i know for a fact none could this is one of those things just like all your names its new never done before a first
i would not dare take away any credit for this auction what an achievment hold your head high and seriously hope others start to appreciate it for what it is
myself i was astounded to see .orgs and .info’s in there but then i have seen names sell that i would never have considered (3dgay for example) thats a killer when you have over 40+ adult names lying around i am not the expert and i would never pretend to be
Hi All, (especially a bitter DMpartners)
Let me say this again for the final final time. There can be another “final” time too.
The Future Trend Domain Auction™ is AN EXPERIMENT in finding out what domains would be valuable before their time, or discovering if their time is now. If you have domains that are “FUTURE TRENDS” based, then you wouldn’t be whining about whether your domains were selected for this first auction because you’d be confident that your domains would be selected in the next auction when they were considered by Successclick.com to have “matured”.
The Future Trend Domain Auction™ isn’t based on massive “success” in selling these domains right now. It’s based on study, research, analysis, and hopefully, that the domains featured have “matured” at this time. Just because they don’t sell now does NOT mean they won’t sell next year or at the next Future Trend Domain Auction™. This isn’t a pissing contest with other auctions based on current trend domains. We’re not competing with the great domains representing common prodservs from Aftermarket.com, Moniker, Snapnames, Sedo, Afternic and other auction sites.
I’ve explained this so many times, my fingers are tired typing it.
What I like is that MOST of the FT domainers get this. They’re in this game to find out the path that works for them. I’m in this game too, and I’ve been doing all of this through my company, for A YEAR, for no compensation. I do NOT receive a commission on your domain sales. My gift is that I get to list 10 of my domains for no commission. If that’s too cheatful for you, then ignore the auction and sell your domains elsewhere.
The domains we selected were based on a lot of things — including strategy and analysis of this area of domain purchasing and sales. Many domain phrases were based on products we never heard of before, but then found out they could be KILLER profit sources as prodserv domains.
If these domains don’t work now, they might in the future, or they might never work, just like EVERY DOMAIN purchased and listed on all the domain auction sites you look at today. Our goal is EDUCATION and PROMOTION of our FT domains based on FACTS and SPECULATION of those facts.
If you get a few domains in this auction, then great. Let’s see what happens. That’s all we’re looking for at this time.
As far as some domains not being picked, it can have a lot to do with the quality of your domain, the reserve price you’re asking (although we selected some domains with high reserves), and whether you’ve followed simple directions to get your domains registered and your info/links sent in to be catalogued.
As far as “3D.com” is concerned, that domain is under control of another auction site. That’s what really makes things negative based on false assumptions. It’s really a pitiful thing to see people spout off about things without knowing the FACTS first. Don’t make ‘conspiracies” because they don’t fit YOUR plan of making money easy.
As Snoopy said it – Many domains were not accepted because they were not up to spec.
However, many domains were not accepted because of ridiculously high reserve prices, and some were not selected because we would like to have them presented next year, when we think they will have a better “maturity” and get a higher price. That’s doing those domainers a favor. There is no other domain company with the expertise that Successclick.com has in understanding FT domains. If you know one, we’d like to work with them so we can learn and help out our members.
As it stands now, we have hundreds of FT supporters/members, many who have accepted what we’ve selected, even just one domain of theirs, and maybe none, but who are willing to push hard to promote the auction to see where we can go as not just FT domainers, but for ALL domainer to be able to reach out to END USERS. By now, most domainers understand that the TOTAL VALUE of your domain is based SOLELY on the END USER. We all know how long we’ve been begging to have END USERS looking at our domains at an auction. We want this to happen, and we’re going to try very hard to make that happen. Maybe they still won’t get it. BUT maybe they will!
And finally, to Michael — how many times have we talked? And you state here that you think we chose the domains in this auction based on “paid subscriptions” to our site? We don’t charge anything to subscribe to our email newsletter. The surprising thing for you is that the LIST of FT Domains is NOT COMPLETE yet. There are other domains still being added — think about it.
We’re trying to run this as if everyone is professional, and they want to see how their domain investments work out. If people start crying publicly that their domains aren’t selected because of some bizarre “cheat” which the core of who I am, and anyone who knows me can attest to – and that is ETHICAL BUSINESS. If someone says something to the contrary without facts, they’re not only being libelous to us, but worse, they’re promoting that huge lie that “domainers are scum leechers” attitude that we’re all trying to change.
As always, you can find direct information of the Future Trend Domain Auction™ at our blog: http://www.successclick.com
(thanks Embee)
cheers
Steven, if you are suggesting that domainers are not scum leechers I would ask you to provide evidence to substantiate that claim.

I guess anyone in business that buys a product and sells it for a profit is a “scum leecher” then, because thats all theat domainers do (domain squatters are exceptions!!)

The Future of 3D Printing
http://thefutureofthings.com/articles/11106/the-future-of-3d-printing.html
@ Stephan Douglas
Your explanation is a good one but maybe next time you should send an email to the folks who submitted names like we did and say Thank You for submitting your names to the FT auction at this time we have rejected your name for the following reason. If you have others you would like to submit please do before such and such date. What you did was just ignore the ones you did not like you did nothing no email no explanation. Think about it, I have many names that blow away the ones you picked and you know it, You even emailed me and told me our names were good and we would be the first ones to know about the auction. Now I see a list with 3-dtoys.com and 3dcakeprinting.com as the first ones picked and I’m just blown away, As far as 3D.com I asked several times about where this name is and nobody answered. If I was running this auction I would have picked about 3 of the names on the list and the other better ones that are out there I would have searched out in the whois section and sent them an email to see if they wanted to be in, There are hundreds of thousands of better names out there and I’m sure those guys don’t even know about the FT auction. Bottom line you always put your best foot forward the first time around so you have some success otherwise if it fails there won’t be a FT2 so your kinda in a box, If I were you Stephan I would add to the list and fast, My 2 cents
What do you think hologramcellphones would be worth?
@dmpartners
3D.com is not in because it wasn’t submitted. The name is actually being brokered by another company and that’s why the person hasn’t submitted it.
Its the same reason names like 3DMovies.com, 3DTV.com, 3D-TV.com, 3-D.com, 3D.net, Web3D.com etc etc etc are not in the auction, because they weren’t submitted. Stephen can only work with names that are submitted, he cant force people to put their “premium” names in the auction.
Besides, that name is an ultra premium and the owner could sell it tomorrow for high xxx,xxx if he/she really wanted to.
Hi
@dmpartners
@ Giles
3D .com…was set to be brokered by ‘Sedo’. But, they had some sort of a possible civil legal problem come up…not quite sure what is was…but, it was something. 😉
Not sure if they ‘resolved’ it yet or not.
In any case..it would never be in this auction, just do to the domain itself…and beacuse it is still under a brokering contract with ‘Sedo’…still (I thinks)
____
But, I do agree with the fact, that a few of the domains listed, do not belong in this auction, even @ a $50.00 reserve price IMHO….as always.
Not saying that’s bad or good…it just is.
I could, and maybe should have as an example of just 3 domains…offered up at the ‘minimum reserve of $300’…..
3DBabyPhotos.com
3DChannelGuide.com
3DMovieChannels.com
I think they may have worked OK for this auction? ~ No?
I have three others in…reserve prices not out of line IMHO…*(not the 3 above)*
___
We will all just have to see how it goes…one thing that can help out the better domains…are the domain that may not be very good…much easier for buyers to focus more on the better ones…and maybe help generate more ‘action’..bidding wise.
Anyway… I wish everyone the very best with domains in the auction and the auction as a whole, regardless of what domains you or anyone else has in it….
BTW: I think Stephan…should be congratulated…leading the way with: “3dadvertising.com”…at such a low reserve price. It should do very well…great domain name.
Peace To All!

@ Lee, hologramcellphones is a great domain name, but you have to hang on.
Do you want to do a round of listing our future trend dot coms which are 10 letters or less? It would be fun. @ MHB published Flippa’s findings that short dot coms sell almost double as many longer domains.
Today I registered iSimultask – ten letter dot com – to promote the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Apple blocked the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany. Critics are raving that it’s the best Android tablet out there: thin, light, 10 hours of battery life with video, and TouchWiz app that lets you simultask. Here is a review:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dOe2m88qZU
“TouchWiz UX adds a host of features to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 on the consumer and enterprise side of things. First of you have a slightly modified panel bar as seen in the image above that adds the ability to take a screen capture of your tablet desktop. There is also a Mini App tray which adds an extra layer of Multitasking with easy access apps at anytime during your tablet experience ( Task Manager, Calendar, World Clock, Pen Memo, Calculator, Music Player) . . .The addition of TouchWiz Live Panels, which give you the ability to resize widgets, that continually refresh and gives a more close fitting magazine-style look. Then you have the Hubs..Social Hub, Music Hub, Media Hub, Samsung Dive ”
and more. Apple must perceive the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Touchwiz a real threat!

@ iain – nice site! Added it to: http://emergingdomains.com/developed
@ DMPartners, nice list of short future trend 3D!
@ volts, 3Dgestures.com fits the 10-letter or less, future trend dot com, no hyphen bill! Great domain! Already have added it to 3D section . . .
@ FUTRS, we see really how many great future trend domains you have! I had to count, and they are 10 letters and under! I like 3DCloning, iHoloTV, Exercise3D, Arizona3D – can you imagine the Grand Canyon? – so many nice ones.
Think I’ll have to add a page of ten-letter or less future trend dot com no hyphen domains in the sidebar of EmergingDomains, or a link. This is fun!
@ louise thanks for the link
tried to list some names but keeps knocking it back gave up after third attempt lol
@louise, what do you think about HTML5 domains ? IMHO this is huge !
http://www.html5.com is own by no other than APPLE !
to visit my HTML5 collection http://www.html5market.com 🙂
Here are five more:
DTVChip.com
3DLCDPC.com
BendyTV.com
DTVDock.com
3DTrial.com
@ Volt, I read your comments, and I agree with what you said, though there are alternatives to HTML5, like Flash, css, and javascript. HTML5 IS going to be big. What Hal said about “geek” domain, he might be right, tho! What is the term going to be in the news? Do you want to create a site for geeks? There might be a better term which encompasses the whole concept! Oh, wait. I already registered all of those: http://emergingdomains.com/multi-screen Just joking. The software to enable multi-screen viewing is its own category!
I registered lots of geek domains, which I am allowing some to drop. I registered, SmartSubstrates, which is highly geek, but meaningless to the end consumers. It might be a business-to-business term, though.
Same with HTML 5. If you develop it, you would target developers. What content would be featured on a site like that? Some of us are starting to develop on Noomle. Noomle allows you to keep 100% of the Adsense revenue, plus it’s easy to import videos, maps, and news. The critical thing is to add your own articles, because that is what separates a Noomle site which does respectable in Google, like Flight-to-Miami.com, from one that is censured by Google, or banned altogether.
Now this is just my opinion so take it for what it is worth, but past trends that HTML (type domain names) do not really do all that well.
I personally do not look at it as a future trend because it is just a revamped model of a current trend. It also has a limited scope and mass appeal in that it is limited to the internet.
The average person does not care what or how websites are built and therefor will not really be compelled to look it up. Key word you want to focus on in that statement is “average”.
The people you are talking to here are probably not average in regards to what they know about sites, domain names, and how the web works.
Anyways, its just my opinion and is worth about as much as the time it took for you to read it.
Cheers
For what it’s worth, here is a screenshot of the admin panel in Noomle:
http://starting.asmallbusiness.net/NoomleAdminPanel081511.JPG
I haven’t started building, yet.
Here are instructions:

There’s an update on Stephens site for all those who have had domains accepted for the auction but who haven’t submitted their descriptions yet.
So I was looking for the download for the PDF but I guess they are going to wait until all the descriptions have been submitted?
Personally I would put out the half of the list they already have and continually update it (at their leisure) as the descriptions roll in. *IF* the auction where to start on the purposed day then there is only 1 week to drum up some interest.
By the time all the descriptions are submitted (if that ever happens) then it will be only a day or two to get the word out.
But that is just the way I see it, but then again cant even put together an auction. So take my comment for what you will.
Cheers

All SD is concerned with is to sell his 3dadvertsing.com without a commission, He has done nothing for this auction. Its going to be a bust,
dmpartners
Ok. I have no idea what roll anyone played in the behind the scenes. Truth be told, it doesn’t really matter to me what anyone else did. My concern is strictly from a selfish point of view.
If it is going to be a bust, I would rather have as much information out there as possible. From my point of view, if no one knows about the auction then of course no one will look at it BUT if you have the info out there and still no one comes that will give you more information to take away.
I wish I could say I was more confident about the names chosen, but we have to deal with what was accepted. I personally only have one dog in the race and in the end, if this fully collapses, then there will probably NOT be another one.
To me that means people who didn’t get a fair shake this time around will not get another chance later.
It would be a shame to see something like that happen since I had some decent names that didn’t make it in this go around. I would have like to have seen what they would have gone for.
Especially my 3DBio-Printer.com. It didn’t make it in this time but it still large and growing larger trend.
Anyway, I guess we have to just wait and see. If it fails it fails and I will just let the people come to me who are interested in my sites.
If it results in more sales for me, then I will take it. Either which way, it doesn’t effect me much. I would like to have the sale but if not, I will continue to develop.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers
I have another 3 going into the auction –

@ NameJr, SolarPhone? That’s your baby! What is the reserve range?
What do you mean by “Going into the auction”?
Did you submit more names after the cutoff date?
Cheers
Jack,
They were originally submitted but declined because of my high prices, after a lengthy discussion I have considerably lowered my reserves and they have been included.
Cheers
@ Jack, So, you have the 150-word description ready for each domain name?
Hey all
..i just hand-regged a HUGE sleeper – and it’s a DOT BIZ
… YES – a dot biz..

more info can be found here
http://www.3d-summit.com
I would have liked to sent
3DCloud.me but the submission period is over
the auction list is far from complete guys
cmon maybe some names are not great but lets be honest most people didnt submit their best names and also put far too high reserves on the ones they submitted
truth be told if you are seriously peeved about it get out of domaining its not for the faint hearted
myself i have nothing in the auction and thats because of the reasons above and some of my names i want to hold for longer
but all credit to sd imagine just how many names he had to look at and how much research went into this auction.
not being funny but if i was running the auction i would be pulling out the names from people complaining and sending you on your way.
it shows just how much people are actually looking around listening and promoting here seriously does i have seen the auction promoted a lot of times just browsing around if you aint its because you are sitting doing nothing with your names expecting sd to make you money do some promotion yourself dont just sit there expecting it all on a plate .
@ jack
i have bio3dprinter/com
its far too early for these to be auctioned off even if it was submitted it would be rejected because thats a name for a future auction its still in very early development and it has some moral issues just like when sheep were cloned except this is human its a big topic which will be debated over for a long time before ever being allowed if ever.
look into 3D laparoscopic surgery its current and in use and transforming this technique massive news for surgeons

@ FUTRS, I know what you mean – I have 3DTelevision.biz!
This is the Noomle page I slapped together. It is the free template, 100% of the Adsense revenue is mine. Noomle gets to promote itself at the bottom of the page.
http://www.qrreader.org
It was my first site, so it took a chunk of time to go through the instructions, open Google Adsense, create six Adsense codes according to the specs, copy and paste them into the Google ad screen on Noomle. The instructions say, use the Adjoker tool. I tried that, and all the ads disappeared, with a message that Adjoker only works for Contributors. If you contribute, it’s $5.00 every two months, or $60.00/year . . . for unlimited websites. I want to make $60.00 before I invest in that!
@ Jack, So, you have the 150-word description ready for each domain name?
//////////////
Get your essays in folks, the world needs to know why you registered those names.
@ Snoopy
Well, the quick of the matter is that I hand reg my 3D Database domain name.
Not only that but Siemens has ads using 3D Database as their key word for some of their ads.
The National Cancer Institute (a government institute) has a whole section devoted to 3D Database. In fact 3D Database(s) is/are fairly big in the medical and scientific fields.
And this is not including the various companies who are attempting to create a 3D interactive database.
Yeah, over all I think $8 a year for the last few years is an OK deal. Now that I have built a site, I have made back a few years worth of renewals.
So say what you will about my choice of domains. I am quite happy with my choices and I am sorry if they bug you.
Cheers

Is your Cloud strategy 3D ready?
I found a great article on the subject if anyone cares to read it:
http://blog.gregorpetri.com/2011/01/3d-cloud-strategy-to-drive-your-it.html
3D Clouds are imo, the next trend for cloud computing!
@ Alan
Sorry if I missed something there Alan but he just seems to be using the term 3D to describe an approach for a strategy for cloud solutions, nothing more.
ie. a strategy which has 3 elements
Why does that suggest to you that 3D clouds is the next trend for cloud computing?
Have I missed something?

Who owns most of the best domains I am not sure. However I own Apple Computer’s Co-Founder and President’s names. Apple just beat out EXXON as the #1 corporation in America.
StevenJobs.com
StevenPJobs.com
I also own one of the oldest brand names in the world, NationalMagazineCompany.com (102 years old)

Thats strange, it look like Mr Jobs beat you to it, here is the registrant of that domain
Registrant:
Apple Inc.
Apple Inc.

StevenPJobs.com – someone else owns this one as well???
I beg to differ Mr. Giles.
I own Both domains. See Godaddy. Karl Jackson owns
StephenJobs.com and also StephenPJobs.com
Grab it re-sell it Stephen before I raise the price 🙂
@Karl Jackson
You can beg to differ all you want but you now have “Stephen” in that post and in your first post you had “Steven”, which is his real name.
I dont think he would want a typo of his name, his name is Steven, not Stephen
You dont really think someone like him wouldn’t own his own name, he has owned it since 1997
Actually Dictionary.com states it is Stephen P. Jobs (born 24 February 1955).
However the domains are still for sale.
That is ridiculous, everyone knows what his name is
Dictionary.com is for finding out the meaning of words anyway
type “Stephen jobs” in Google and see what the results are, all “Steve’ or “Steven”…cmon you aren’t being serious are you?

@ iain, 3DOffice sale – that’s encouraging!
@ FUTRS, nice domain name – what does it mean? I bookmarked the article you linked, but it doesn’t mention “cad,” or “locker.” What is the tie-in?
@Louise
no, that actual video or article doesn’t mention CAD specifically, but as mentioned previously, i think selling CAD files online is going to be a HUGE business due to 3d Printing in the home… consider the growth of cloud computing and storage as well
… read these articles below and then reconsider CADLocker/com for the 3d Printing industry

Hi Everyone,
What many do not know, which I find quite interesting is that “Youtube” has its own specific “3D” Video uploading area only for 3d videos.
http://www.youtube.com/user/3D
Currently on the home page it has Very Interesting Video:
LG Thrill 4G Presents Jane’s Addiction Comes Alive: The World’s First User Generated 3D Concert Film
_____
“July 25th, 2011 LG and Jane’s Addiction invited lucky fans to Terminal 5 in New York to take part in the World’s First User Generated 3D Concert Film shot entirely on the LG Thrill 4G super phone. Over 100 fans captured the band from all angles using the glasses-free 3D LG Thrill 4G as the band played fan favorites like “Ocean Size” and “Mountain Song” as well as their new single, “Irresistible Force,” from their upcoming album, “The Great Escape Artist,” due out this fall. A special acoustic performance of “Jane Says” provides the perfect ending to an unforgettable evening”

Worth checking out…IMHO

I was real late to the “3D” market a year ago….but I did some thinking then, and I ask myself where does almost ALL watchable content eventually end up…my answer was: ‘Video”
I created a site a:
http://3dviral.com/
A few months ago, but have not really promoted it or anything, but I think I will start now, and see if I can make something come of it, as it now appears that “3d videos”…is on the verge of really becoming a huge market…in of itself.
As with anything, only time will tell….I have been wrong before…many times 😉
But the video above is pretty impressive….and how they did it using 100 fans, all with the “glasses-free 3D LG Thrill 4G Phone”
Peace!

We are very pleased
August 24th– judgement day– a day that will go down in infamy along with this thread.
Talk about the FTDA, what are we going to do to promote it, now that we have irons in the fire? Someone said he had an inside to one of the online marketing magazines.
Ignore Owen.
Few more additions to the list –
http://showcase.snapnames.com/2011/08/future-trend-domain-auction-auction
Okay – found it! One of us has a contact at Adage, just emailed him.
Several of us have a notice about the auction on our homepage. Would you check and update your notice from the old dates in June to August 24th – October 11th?
This isn’t over until October 11th. Snapnames has the exclusive to market and sell the domains from the auction through October 11th. We can promote the list through that date, and it will count to the success of the FTDA.
@ FUTRS, it’s short, and rolls off your tongue, only 3 syllables.
Hi,
@ iain
Nice one…
I have:
3dconcertvideo .com
3dconcertvideo(s).com… was taken at the time, as I tried to reg both.
It was either ‘dropped’ or bought… Because some guy in ‘China’ owns it now….and the WOIS says it was regged…after the reg date of mine.

I cannot beleive that “Moniker” charges $6.00 a year to forward a domain…Enom free…no matter how domain you have in your account.
Peace!

BTW: @ BullS ~ 3dbulls. com is taken ~ I imagine you are heart broken 😉
I am never be heartbroken because I have “BullS’–website of the YEAR!!
@ BullS… nice one 😉
And that ‘aint’ no…bs
Peace!

Hi, Put CadLocker and 3DViral on the short list, and 3DViral on the developed section of EmergingDomains, @ Dan. Hope that’s okay, I just put 3DViral as the contact as well.
As far as promoting the Future Trend Domain Auction™, does anyone have ideas how to promote? Maybe I’ll try to send one snailmail to four end users who might like my entry, but that might not be in time for the live part of the auction . . . It’s getting close!
If we just focus on end users for our own entries, and try to contact one or two, that would help the whole auction.
Hi
@Louise….thanks much!!
As for promoting, I would start off by doing just searches on all 3 top “SE” and see who is using the words in your domain…and just check the “PPC” ads…and see who is advertising under your ‘keyword search term(s)’ and check the ‘organic’ results also.
If you find companies…that seem to maybe be a match for your domain…just make up a nice e-mail and send it to them…but try to get to the possible ‘decision makers’
Check the WHOIS of their current website and look for promising e-mail contacts, also try and find the top marketing peoples e-mail from the company… just do not send it through the ‘contact’ or ‘support’ email or form.
Also, a lot companys, will have “about our company” etc… something like this.
Often times it will list the “CEO’s” on down. You will never find an email for the CEO…but you be surprised that many times…you find top level people listed, with their “Bio’s” and an email contact…like the ‘head of marketing” etc…
This would be a pretty easy way to start…and not cost anything, but just a little time.
I hope that helps and makes some sort of sense…its late 🙂
Thanks again!
‘D’
Guess what…3dsuck and 3dsucks taken but 3dSucker(s) are open.
Go for it.
@iain – Not really a debate as such, rather just stating the facts, his name is Steve
“August 24th– judgement day– a day that will go down in infamy along with this thread”
@Owen….how many people on have said it will be a success, go back and have a look, its testing the waters and see what interest there is… and the sooner you realize that the better, how many time do you have to be told lol – I personally don’t think any of my names will sell and that’s fine
@BullS….you keep saying how silly we are and how you hate 3D names blah blah blah…you still seem to stick around, the first step is admit you have problem, its ok really….you are with friends here, you can stand up and say it “My name is BullSh*T and I love 3D”….no-one is going to laugh at you…sorry, just a little humor
@Giles…if I admit that I have Domain Attention Deficit Disorder (DaDD), and I love 3Ds, then I am real Bullshi+itter.
3D does not work on people like me who have cock-eyes
@Giles,
Dang dude… you mowed down Owen Frager with a simple paragraph. It’s like Owen doesn’t read anything that will deter him from believe that we FT domainers are all a bunch of noobies who think that this is the only auction under the title Future Trend Domain Auction™ that will be held. He thinks all of the domainers researching this domain category for sales (FT Domains) are desperate noobies thinking there are big riches ready to fall into our laps when this auction is held.
The only people bidding on our domains will be either domainers who “get it” or End Users, most likely New Media websites (marketing websites with informative information on how to promote your new prodservs). There might be some smart marketing directors watching these domains being loaded up and discussing whether knowing the category killing domain that defines their prodservs is a better investment than spending $10,000 on a magazine ad for a 1/4 page ad that dwindles away after 45 days, and that’s $10,000 down the drain. Oops, I could have bought 3Dconsole.com for a $10,000 and controlled all the online discussion and product sales regarding gaming consoles promoting their 3D games and technology.
Question is out: Do you spend $25,000 buying ads on the radio, in a magazine or even a *cough* newspaper, with maybe a bit left over for some adlinks, and watch it disappear after 90 days? Or do you puff up your chest and decide to buy the category killing domain name for starting a new cable channel called “3DChannel.com” for $25,000, which lasts for as long as you keep it registered. It works for you in branding. It works for you for traffic. It works for you in prestige. It works for you in descriptive marketing. And it works all the time, every day, all year long.
Man, marketing directors who don’t understand that are missing an opportunity to make themselves HEROES in their companies by picking up some of these clearly definitive brand domains for basically chump change.
Owen still doesn’t understand the concept of “test and adjust” in domaining. Poor guy.
To Owen, just so you get that attention fix you need: The Future Trend Domain Auction™ is a work of combined efforts from not only the auction sites, Successclick.com and associates, but the people involved in analyzing and buying domains they believe MAY “mature” into domains like “pizza.com” because they are commonly accepted in business and consumer marketing.
This is OUR goal, and that means everyone that has taken the time to follow this path. Sadly for you, this path is a long one, so you’ll be seeing us every 90 days or so presenting FT domains as we test and analyze results. We know it’s frustrating that EmBee is getting this utterly ridiculous amount of comments on this blog on this subject, but if you think that the comments will stop because the Future Trend Domain Auction™ only makes $5000, you are as wrong as a worm in your pastrami sandwich.
NOTE: IF YOUR DOMAIN IS LISTED ON THE SNAPNAMES CATALOG, AND YOU HAVE NOT SUBMITTED TO SUCCESSCLICK.COM YOUR 150 word report with supporting links for our marketing DIRECTORY of this auction, THEN YOU BETTER DO IT BY SUNDAY 12 noon PST. We’d like to have our Future Trend Domain Auction™ Directory finished and published by Monday and throughout the remainder of the month, and for the after auction run.
cheers,
Stephen Douglas

updated Future Trends Auction Catalog. Let’s cross our 3D fingers and hope our 3D world gets
it the way we do!!
::News Flash::
3DDesignSoftware enters Google race at a respectable #91. That’s just with a front page blurb – haven’t started developing it, yet! Who cares if it sells? When it gets in the top 30, it will make $$. Happy dance.
@ Dan, thanx for the suggestion!
Please, @ Everybody, people with negative energy are going to drain yours! @ Giles, the caliber of you and people you are trying to be nice to are on two different planes. It’s beneath you to talk to someone who scrapes original content off of respectable websites for his new registrations and apps.
Happy Dance! Another dual screen:

I asked MHB to help me for 20%, because my portfolio is too valuable for me to handle, but he ignored my request.
I told my brother to quit what he is working on with his partners and become multiscreen consultants, because they have the credentials, but he ignored me.
I’m just going to check things off my list: finish DualScreenPhones; beef up 3DDesignSoftware, finish 3DSLaunchTitles, sell it on Flippa. Then maybe I can get to MultiScreenServices. Hope it’s not too late. 🙁
Good news for the 3D TV domainers!

Just received an offer for CloudPatrol.com that is going into the FT Auction, the offer was via Sedo. Ive also had 8 views in the last 24 hrs for it as well. Is anyone else having these experiences ? Looks like the marketing is doing its job, nice one Stephen.
Cheers
@Giles
They’d be wise to wait for the auction to commence…cloudpatrol.com is my favourite domain for the money.
@HGPortfolio
Thanks mate. Its Stu by the way.
Cheers
Here’s a very cool link to show the naysayers just how CLOSE the 3D revolution in prodservs is to making it huge in branding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX1cO2XhMrg&feature=player_embedded
This shows how a guy in Brazil built a MACHINE OUT OF LEGO PIECES, and adding only a cutting blade outside of LEGO, and using some 3D software, rendered a full 3D face with the machine he built on a piece of floral foam.
That’s just goofing around. Imagine what’s REALLY going on with the pros at EVERY major manufacturing company in the world.
By the way, I also wanted to point out to potential buyers in the Future Trend Domain Auction™ that we have one of the most iconoclastic, recognizable domains EVER: TIMEVOYAGE.COM.
I think you can bid on this domain for $200 to start. I would like to ask the opinion of the readers here: If I produce this auction and like a domain that is selling for so cheap, I am literally drooling to put my first $200 down on this domain? Is it okay for me to do this, or would it be a conflict-of-interest?
TimeVoyage.com for $200? Are you kidding me? Please someone tell me that I can bid on this domain.
thanks!
Ive just noticed
3DVideos.com
is on at the auction, I think that might sell!
@NameJr.com
Ya think?
I’d like to take some personal bets, if anyone want to do that, on how much money this auction will make.
If you’re interested, email me at successclick ——–at——–gmail.com.
I’ll tell you what my expectations are, and you must bet UNDER that expectation. Minimum bet: $100
Let’s have some fun!
I have 3 names in the auction but was too late in submitting the articles to go with them. I think they speak for themselves though :
HolographicBoxing.com
HolographicGolf.com
Channel3D.com
@ namejr
good luck m8 with sale:)
also i hope 3dvideos.com goes well tbh i cant see why it wont be one of the big ones being talked about afterwards i was hoping to see some more sports domains think thats all thats missing from the list but its turned out ok and we have some great names in there.
heres my top 10 picks not in any order
3dadvertising.com
3dvideos.com
Movies3d.co.uk
Games3d.co.uk
3dGame.co.uk
3dEntertainment.co.uk
I3d.tv

@ SD
nice link its truly amazing just how far this tech can be taken when the right people start playing around magic happens.
so many major companies are investing and researching now its overwhelming and exciting to watch what they produce in these early stages as they are just like us and still new and learning. what the future holds in printing,scanning etc is going to be not only revolutionary but its going to come into everyones life at some point just like the 3dtv has.
forget having a basic printer it wont be long before a mass market affordable 3d printer is out there in places like pc world its not if its when.
you must be stoked with the latest developments concerning 3d advertising its truly being accepted as the future way of advertising by major companies and with investments being made it shows its going to be huge
Here is something for you 3D freaks: the first 3D video from space, powered by ESA. Not very exciting, but another footprint.

What on earth are people thinking with registrations like this?
It is always “just a few dollars” but the bill usually runs into the thousands.
I wasnt sure about those names either so thought i would have a look around see what i could pull up for them out of interest beofre i made a post
found this
3dwines.com
i suppose if you can have 3d wines you can have 3d champagne
names dont hit home for me though
dm can you let me know what basis you regged them on please
I’ll tell you what my expectations are, and you must bet UNDER that expectation. Minimum bet: $100
—–
Why not just post that figure here?
As tempting as it is, these kinds of things are trivially easy to manipulate.
Can we make a bet on the number of domains that sell *excluding* those that are immediately transferred to a privacy protected owner and sit undeveloped, (or domainer-developed)?
Or the number of domains that are sold in this auction (in terms of a total dollar amount) that see ultimate use by an established business within 6 months of acquisition?

@Iain
… nice article
… how much does 3dCloning/com sell for?
🙂
Ian
We regged it because it was available no other reason , I can see Champagne bubbles in 3d for sure, When you are looking for Champagne you type in that key word, If you saw it in 3d Im sure you would look at the site,
@ Louise Thanks for the link , Yep 3DMammogram machines are approved and are making there way on to the market, 3DMammogram.org and info are the 2 best domains for that product IMO ,
@dmpartners
“3DMammogram.org and info are the 2 best domains for that product IMO”
I presume you mean after .COM and .NET???
Giles
Nope .org and .info We don’t believe cancer related items should be .com.
An organization will pick up this domain and that is why we picked .org
Cancer.com not a good idea IMO also many people will want information on this new tech that’s why we picked .info
@FUTRS
IMO this is the biggest thing in 3D
watch this carefully forget 3dtv or movies or anything else once this tech is established its going to be a massive multi billion earner.
heres another nice article
How 3D Printing Will Change Absolutely Everything It Touches
they even made a 3d printed car !
http://news.yahoo.com/3d-printing-change-absolutely-everything-touches-054625088.html
3D printing will be around the longest out of all things 3D!
Everything has a shelf life (some longer then others).
3D DVD/blu-ray are going to have a very very short shelf life (if at all). Look at the new MACs. They do NOT come with any CD/DVD drives. CD/DVD/Blu Ray are all on their way to being defunct in a short matter of time.
3D TVs will probably be replaced fairly quickly (a few years) but 3D printing will be around for a long time to come. It will probably revolutionize our lives as we know it now. Right now a lot of it is just concept and there are bugs to work out. In short order 3D printing will be here and a common part of out lives.
In my personal opinion, the 3D bio-printing aspect of it is going to be huge. The ability to create body parts from you on tissue in a matter of days with 0% chance of rejection will revolutionize the medical industry.
They can already make arteries, with aspects of hearts, lungs, liver, nervous system… ect. well on the way.
3D printing/3D bio printing would be the names that I would keep for the next 5-10 years.
Just my opinion.
Cheers

Regarding the Future Trends auction I would agree that 3dVideos.com is a fantastic name at that reserve – the pick of the bunch. There are some other really good names there, of course, it’s just whether or not there will be end users willing to part with the cash at this stage. 3dvideos.com is a clear bargain though and surely there will be resellers with the cash to bid for that.
I like 3d-webcam.com at no reserve. I’ll certainly be watching that one. LG just announced a 3D laptop with 3D webcam installed.
So what is the snapnames link for the auction updates? How do we know if and when bids are made on our names?

@3DTablet, you can have 3DLaptop.com for $7500 now!
You have come down quite a bit on the 3D Laptop domain.
Now it looks like we will see if anyone is paying attention to future trend domains at all. I am hoping for the best but not expecting anything.
Cheers
I did, I had a good 5 fig offer months ago and passed thinking I would get more, that didnt play out my way lol I recently purchased a large geo .com and its time to try development 🙂
At $7500 3DLaptop.com is potentially a steal, see who notices is right, it is not in the auction though.
$7,500 is a good price for 3DLaptop.com but unfortunately it’s a little bit of a steep investment for me at this time.
@ louise
a little while ago i took a chance with
electronicpaper.co
so today is the day auction kick off 🙂
might take my mind off a nasty dentist visit i have expecting a tooth out 🙁
had an offer of $200 on ASolar dot co dot uk through whypark page
think if i had cash i would buy
3dgame.co.uk
3dvideos.com
3dadvertising.com
thats the three i will be watching the most
good luck everyone 🙂
@iain, good choice with these three names.
I don’t know if its because of the FT auction and 3dgame (dot) co.uk being listed in it, but over the past 10 days or so theres been a sudden increase in the number of visitors to my domain 3DGame(dot)me. And most of the traffic seems to be from China.
No problem 3dtablet, was making more of a statement than pitch to you 😉
recieved an email from moniker with details on auction included
its a basic mass email so everyone who has an account there will recieve it i guess
that in itself will reach a mass amount of domainers without any other advertising
@domaincurry
i get a lot of traffic to all my 3d games sites without doing much tbh my best one i setup just over a year ago gets over 30k a month all the sites seem to do well considering most have yet to have seo work done on them i think this shows just how popular 3d gaming is
@ Josh said: “I still have very nice cash flow for continued flipping so no rush. I have sold multiple big names over the last 6 years, some I wish I held out for more, its risk/reward, sometimes you gamble.” – pg 39
You’re doing okay, so you could wait longer. But it’s nice of you to offer it at low price here, but you could do better. Did you contact the people who had made an offer previously? 3DLaptop.com is a nice name – it would be ideal at that reserve in the next Future Trend Domain Auction™.
Don’t forget, people! It’s up to us to promote our names. Don’t sit back and expect miracles. After breakfast, I am going to call Adobe, Corel, Autodesk, and 3DS and try and get the names/emails for the marketing person . . . I think they would want to know 3DDesignSoftware.com available at so low a reserve.
@Louise, I did but little did I know they bought another name so interest is gone. Actually happened to me on a social name as well last week, they went and used a hyphenated name instead!
I recently ought a big geo .com so going to make a serious run and cash flow could use help now 🙂
Its $7500 but open to offers, even have 3DBaseball.com still, would look at a package offer in low $XXXX range 😉
Shouldn’t the auction have started 3 hrs ago? Looks like its still not started. Anyone have any news?
Server crash…..because all is bidding on your domain!!!
Thank you BullS for your kind information
LOL….
BullS nearly had me spit out my coffee reading that. Thanks buddy… I needed the laugh today.
Cheers
It’s okay – everybody stay calm! The auction is live:
https://www.snapnames.com/domain/3ddesignsoftware.com.action
but they’re just adjusting the interface to link to the catelog, probably. Remember, it’s a first for alot of things, and it’s a first for Snapnames to offer a pdf catelog with the domain definitions.
I’m just going to link straight to bid page, until it gets fixed!
Opps…typo error

@ dan
sorry i dont see any descriptions or info attached or added to any of the domains in the auction neither do i see anything to download
Hi,
@ iain
Thanks… I would appreciate it if anyone comes across it or a “PR” from Moniker/Snapnames comes out if you could…post it ASAP, if and when they come out.
I want to make a blog post ASAP….but would like to have as much information as possible, before I do so.
Thanks much…best wishes to ALL, who have domains in the auction!!!!
Peace!
‘D’
two things…
.. you guys need to STOP talking about ‘Three D’
… i just lost my top ranking on google for the term ‘Three D Domain /Names’
enough already
🙂
and secondly
.. the descriptions you can see when you actually click on one of the names
.. it looks like they have been revised from what i submitted
Auction is over….sorry- none sold.
Go back to squarely one
@BullS….
Your always, just a ray of sunshine on any cloudy day 😉
Peace!
‘D’
so.. were any ‘friendly’ bets put in place?
have some fun with this
(1) – How many names do you think sell in total?
(2) – How much money does anybody think this auction pulls in in total?
(3) – What’s the first name to get a bid (if any)?
(4) – What day is the first bid placed (if any)?
(5) – What individual name will sell for the most amount of money?
(6) – What name will have the most bids (if any)?
(7) – What name will you be surprised to see sell AT ALL?
(8) – How long before Snoop, Frager and BS come running to post negative comments in regards to this question?
🙂
umm, i can bet on the number 8 – within 10 mins of this post 🙂
@ “DC”…
Now they will have to wait 11 minutes to post 🙂
Should have put 10 days 😉
Just a Little fun…
‘D’
not expecting to see any bids right up untill last hour of auction or so if theres any looking at pricing i would say 3 names max sell totalling less than $5k
if 3dscotland sells then i will be shocked i live in scotland and i wouldnt want it lol 🙂
but this will set ball rolling as a guide for names in future
hows that 🙂
mind you if i had my ten best in there that would sky rocket to six figures
lmao
i wish 🙂
(8) – How long before Snoop, Frager and BS come running to post negative comments in regards to this question?
exactly one second after auction close if nothing sells you can bet your life on it lol 🙂
thing is an auction never sells that mass amount whenever have you seen an auction sell most of the catalog but that wont hold em back eh lads 🙂
It isn’t over until October 11th.
Hi
@ Louise
It would be helpful if it did not say: Aug 24 – Aug 30
Going all the way out to Oct 11…is a bit much I think. I would think 20 days max would be enough…IMHO
Best,
‘D’
The exclusivity period begins at the end of the auction, and lasts six weeks. At that time, Moniker brokers try their hand at marketing the domains, through October 11th. You could still market it, but the sale has to be through Moniker, with commission due.
Therefore, the whole story of the success of the auction is not represented by just the live portion, but after Moniker brokers have a crack at our domains.
Am I the only one who reads agreements?
This is what I write in my blurb on 3DDesignSoftware and in emails:
“If an offer doesn’t meet reserve during the live session, you may contact Moniker’s in-house brokerage through October 11th to make an offer.”
@Louise
Thanks….I guess, I was never much for ‘small print’ or “legalese”…and if they are both together, “Forget About It” 😉
Seriously….thanks for the information.
Best,
‘D’
Okay, people. I emailed the Vice Presidents of Global Marketing for:

That’s it, I’m done. I wrote an article and submit it to two marketing magazines, but haven’t heard back. Just waiting for Stephen’s news release to hit, then the auction should see more traffic.
Each of you, would you please find two end users and email them, if you have time? Don’t complain at the end, if your entries don’t have bids, if you didn’t even try.
“Just waiting for Stephen’s news release to hit, then the auction should see more traffic.”

You’d hope so, because so far there isn’t a single bid.

@DMPartners,
This is the last time I am addressing your public comments about how i deal with the Future Trend Domain Auction™. If you have a questions to ask me, why post it here? THIS ISN”T MY BLOG. PERIOD. Michael Berkens could care less how this auction plays out. WHY ARE YOU WRITING ME HERE?
Either POST on my blog at http://www.successclick.com or email me. You have my email address.
For the sake of moving beyond your expectations of someone trying to organize a first time huge domain auction, you actually want me to SEND OUT “SORRY YOUR DOMAINS WEREN’T ACCEPTED” emails to everyone? Seriously? You going to invest in a company that spends time writing to people whose products didn’t meet the grade?
NOT ONE AUCTION SITE DOES THIS.
If you want to talk to me, post a comment on MY BLOG or email me.
This is the last time I write this… which I have said 10 times before. Why do you people who expect everything require those who are supposed to provide you with these “domain riches” to answer you personally, especially on SOMEONE ELSE’S BLOG!??
You know how to contact me directly. Do that, or go ignored.
Thanks.

The reason why I love Domains is because there is no such thing as right or wrong. Everyone has the right to express their BS and it is all relatively subjective and objective.

“4D” is total different….and the registrations of “4D’ domains has gone through the roof the pass year….a far second to ‘3D’ domain names, but just the same…an substantial amount of ‘4d’ domain names, are long gone.

Less than 2 days to go and zero bids. I don’t think I have ever seen an auction like it where there is no bids at all getting into the last couple of days.
Personally I think this auction will be lucky to produce more than 1-2 sales with 0 sales on the cards. Whole thing has been a huge waste of time, for the people speculating on these names, the auction house, the thousands of posts in this thread. The list looks more like a drop list than an auction list.
Expect a tonne of excuses in under 48 hours. Hopefully some will wake up and see how things really are for these names after the auction.

well you can always view the other auction buy a name there and play safe to a certain extent because obviously this auction is no good,oh wait not many bids there either for names that have been around a lot longer,keyworded etc.
put that into perpesctive
oh and by the way i have zero names in the auction just in case you consider me bias
jeez
expect excuses ?
lmao
why ?
@iain,
Not sure what you men by “the other auction”.
The fact is there is no bids with under a day to go, has anyone ever seen an auction like that? The problem is that all the interest is from the *sell* side. Nobody wants to *buy* names like this, even the people in this thread who talk up this segment will not bid on this auction, they are all looking for an out, not an in. They think theie names are worth 4 or 5 figures, when instead they are worth $0, and they wouldn’t even pay $10 for the next guys supposedly valuable 3d domains. That is why there isn’t a single bid in this auction.
When I say “expect a tonne of excuses” you’ll see why I say that in 21 hours. In my view very few of these fanatics will admit the obvious tomorrow, that these names have no real market, instead they’ll be thinking up all sorts of other reasons why nothing (or near nothing) sold.
@Snoopy
Why do you write comments as if we all depend on selling our domains to live? The fact is, we don’t! I personally don’t give a rats f**k if any of my domains sell, I have come into this domain game not giving a f**k what people do, how they bid, or what they think!! I have looked at domains and studied what have sold over the last 2 years and do my own thing, I have taken bullshit advice off the best, and thought “F**k that”!!. If none of my domains sell, then I will not treat my girlfriend to the cinema on friday night!! What ever will i do ????
Cheers!!

@namejr,
I’m assuming people are here to make money and that is why there is 1000 posts about this auction, because they hope to sell.
If they don’t care if they make money that is their issue & probably they don’t care because they aren’t making money and that is an easy way to justify the loss. That isn’t a good thing though. Eventually they’ll have to drop those names, or their wife/credit card issuer/bankruptcy attorney will make them.
@Snoopy
People on this thread have not spent thousands of dollars on doamins, so when you say things like “Eventually they’ll have to drop those names, or their wife/credit card issuer/bankruptcy attorney will make them.” It seems a bit over the top! People in all walks of life have visions, people at Sony do, people at Google do, people who look at the stars do and people who look at domains do. To say that a domainer can be wrong, is to say that people who predict anything in life is wrong! Except the second coming, except new domains , except what tomorrow never knows!!!
@Snoopy
“Eventually they’ll have to drop those names, or their wife/credit card issuer/bankruptcy attorney will make them.”
What is your theme, Sir? Bossiness? Malicious joy? Fluency? Simple sharing of knowledge?
I assume that you started domaining long before most of the posters in this thread did. I further assume that you own great dot.coms TODAY. Congrats, I have a great respect for people who had the vision and did it. But – how did your family and friends comment your hobby/business? Was a man who registered generic dot.coms in 1994 called paranoid? Was a dropcatcher in 2001 ff. a gambler?
Both have been visionary as we know today. And why should a 3d name regger in 2005 ff. not be a similar visionary, even if it name doesn´t sell in a 2011 auction but may be a star in 2015?
So much poison around here, sad.
I’m assuming people are here to make money
—-
That’s where you’re wrong. The people who are out to make money in domain selling can do so fairly easily, even latecomers. Their own talents and abilities will determine how much they make, but it’s very do-able. Even idiots can make a little bit as long as the have basic business sense.
To these 3d people, domains aren’t a path to make real money that gets put in the real bank. They’re are a medium to subsidize their delusional fantasies and big dreams…
Spend a relatively insignificant sum of money on some hand-registered domains, then imagine all the gigantic offers that will come rolling in. If they wanted to make money, they would follow the money. Instead, they follow their ‘dreams’.
“People on this thread have not spent thousands of dollars on doamins, so when you say things like “Eventually they’ll have to drop those names, or their wife/credit card issuer/bankruptcy attorney will make them.” ”

////////////
@namejr
Some people have registered thousands of these names, ie 5 figures.
Regarding the people investing being wrong, that is obvious to everyone except those people, others have been saying it for year years and now they’ve held an auction and it has proven how worthless these names are.
Like I say though there will be a tonne of excuses and I think they are already starting. The people likely to succeed are those who can see a result and admit what they registered was bad, the people who will lose are those who will see a result and still bury their heads in the sand over those names.
@LSMorgan & Snoopy
One domain will make you a million! We are all here to guess, including you!
But – how did your family and friends comment your hobby/business? Was a man who registered generic dot.coms in 1994 called paranoid? Was a dropcatcher in 2001 ff. a gambler?
//////////
@ Blitz
I don’t know of any successful domainers who just registered names and hoped they’d increase in value. People start with a model that either works or doesn’t work. ie produces a profit early on or doesn’t. I don’t think things “evolve” from something that doesn’t work into something that works.
People who lose money are constantly putting things off into the future, you say 2015, I say if people do that they’ll likely put it off until the cash runs out, because they are investing in domains that make no financial sense today and time probably won’t change the outcome. Look at areas like .tv, .us, .mobi etc and there has been the “wait a few more years” arguments for as long as I can remember.

Excellent point!

Why was it dropped in 2000?

@ Snoopy
Cmon, not every reg is the result of a great business model. Recently I read that the seller of social.com has not been able to sell this name for years for a fraction of what he earned recently. Vision+Luck+Patience=Success.
Why are you so “hot” to argue against 3d, ar, holo, cloud etc. domain regs? I mean, nobody will doubt that television.com has more value than 3dtelevison.com.
Nearly 100 Millions dot.coms are registered, the industry is growing, more domainers coming along every day. What shall they register, if not 3-d-television.com or any other “bad” regs which simply are available?
i know for me – i am not making any excuses
… did i “expect” any sales? – NO
… “would it have been nice?” – ABSOLUTELY
… has it changed one single drop of me to thinking otherwise about my own personal names? – NOT A CHANCE!!
… do i think something like Holographic Domain Names are worth nothing now? – NO WAY!!
Come on now snoop..
… how can you possibly use this auction as a gauge for ANYTHING?
we (yourself included) have all seen some of the biggest boys in the domaining world put together some very high end auctions that have had very little results with very well established domains with a very well established sales history, and being held by some very well respected domain owners in all of them – and MANY of these auctions have brought back little or no return… you know this, so why does this auction mean so much to YOU?
it is what it is – another domain auction at Snap Names – i have seen Snap Names disappoint on many auctions before this one
.. besides
… unless you are trying to talk us all into spending $7 a year to sponsor some hungry country, why do you CARE what we all invest our money in… why do you CARE that we all have huddled here to talk about what we like?… why do you CARE what we believe in?… what’s IS your purpose?
Why are you so “hot” to argue against 3d, ar, holo, cloud etc. domain regs? I mean, nobody will doubt that television.com has more value than 3dtelevison.com.

@Blitz
Because people are wasting their money, even when there is no bids they still argue about it. Of all the names in that auction, which were supposedly hand picked from thousands, there is maybe 3 names worth anything at all.
People are talking about Social.com and Cloud.com, whilst the names actually in this auction is stuff like 3dTvBargain.info & CloudInTheCloud.com.
@Snoopy
Many of the domains that we have, have been picked up from drops! Just like cloud.com was picked up! Look, Im not here to justify my domains or any other domainers domains, but I am here to make a mark and give it a go. I was made redundant over 3 years ago and had to get a job in a factory, order picking items for DHL . Personally, I had to do something to get myself out of this s**t hole, so I stumbled upon domaining. My domains are my domains and that is what matters to me, everyone is welcome to join me on the ride if they want or get in the way. If this auction fails then the bar gets raised, I am sure we will all step up to the mark!!! Trust me, I will!

@futurs
Of course it is a gauge, nobody has placed a single bid on those names, you think that isn’t telling you something?
Show me another domain auction where there has been no bids with under a day to go? I’ve never seen anything like it. These names look more like a drop list than names that should be spent time on to auction.
@Snoopy
CloudintheCloud.com is a handreg of mine, LOL. It may be crap but it was chosen for a Snapnames (crap?) auction. I have a vision for this name, really. Whatever if I am bipolar or stupid or … I will keep this name if it doesn´t sell. Future!
Good night, fight club. It´s 2 a.m. in Germany, bed is calling.
Its boring me this conversation now!
Does anyone think it will rain tomorrow?
…..Also, can anyone help me with an excuse if I am unable to take my girlfriend the cinema on Friday if my domains do not sell. I was thinking using ” Im washing my hair” ?? Good ??
……or, “I cant, Im taking my domains for a walk” ???

NameJr sold PalmTopTheater/com for 1000 Euros, and he sold a couple cloud domains. Giles sold CloudCo/com for $7000.00. And PalmTopTheater/com was a recent registration: Nov. 2010. So I think those guys are doing fine! My friend just sold spaghetti dot tv for $1700.00, and that is low.
To watch tech trends and hand reg an obvious dot com is a method for a newbie to acquire some nice dot coms. You naysayers are missing out!
3DLaptop/com had an offer of $32,000.

I had a look at the other auction, there is 3 weeks to go and there is bids up to $25,000, so I don’t really follow you here. You think this is similar to the bidding on the future trend auction?

To all the naysayers
This is just the beginning, its all about exposure at the moment and not about the results of this auction
I dont expect any of my names to sell and they wont, mainly due to the high reserves I set. If I was that keen to sell, I would have set reserves below $20K and done a lot more groundwork on emailing end-users for the accepted names. I am just putting my names out there. I have had offers on my names in the auction and one was for very low xx,xxx, which I rejected at the time as I believe the name will be worth more in a few years time, whether you believe me or not, is up to you, I don’t really care either way.
You keep going on about 3D but this is about any future tech names, including solar and cloud names which will be big whether you think so or not
I have received offers on a weekly basis on my cloud and solar names and these are names I didnt submit to this auction because I know I will sell without any problem further down the track
Anyway, whether names sell in this auction or not, it doesn’t matter, its about getting some exposure and I know there are end-users at least looking because I have emailed a few and they have looked at the auction, and thats what this is about.
I initially invested a few $$ buying some cloud names and in no time at all had double my profit with one sale so it pays off if you do your research and dont go nuts hand-regging average names.I would also recommend staying away from .inf and .org names and sticking with the strong extensions (and cctld’s), unless its a really strong keyword(s) name.
Good luck all
This is just the beginning, its all about exposure at the moment and not about the results of this auction
//////////////////
Like I said, expect the excuses to come out.
If a lot of names had sold it would have been all about the results of this auction, the naysayer would have been proven wrong by it etc etc. Instead of that there is almost no interest but it never gets to the point of the cheerleaders are willing to accept that the auction has been a failure and the reason is low quality names.
People talk constantly about all the offers “floating around” yet these names haven’t been sold and none of the people talking about high offers are willing to participate on the *buy side* in this auction. That is because everything that is said it talk only, in reality they have no confidence in these names. If these names were worth something they’d be getting snapped up, right now. Instead we have thousands of submissions and the result so far is an auction with one bid.
@Snoop
… your rhetoric is TIRED
… i’m starting to feel sorry for you and the misery you harbor inside for yourself.
@Snoopy
You need to listen more and stop blabbering again
Have a look at all the posts of mine above (here and on other forums/blogs), I have said the same thing from the beghinning, there are no excuses here.
Feel free to prove me wrong….yeah, I thought not..
Time to close this thread and go home.
Any bids?
I think it would have been better to have the auction at Sedo, because they attract more
corporate buyers.

Another bid! On i3d.tv.
Ive been out, what sold?
I bagged $925 with 3dconsole.com and cloudpatrol.com , I bought 3dconsole.com for $700 and cloudpatrol.com for $200 , so I made $25! Cinema here we come, YIPEEEEEEEEEEE!
Namejr, nothing else sold.
@Snoopy
cheers mate. Me making $925 paid for two thirds of my MobileWallet.net , and that domain is going nowhere!!!
Cheers!
In general this auction looks like it went as most predicted.
I am not sure why SnapNames even went for this in the first place.
The reserve prices for the vast majority of domain names were way out of line with the current domain market.
Despite the effort and hype that went into it, the buyers (especially end users) were not that interested.

@namejr
Not sure what you mean here, if you paid $900 and sold them for $925 then you’ve lost a couple of hundred dollars after commissions have you not?

Not sure, I have never sold domains with moniker before!!!
I just have 2 emails with what they have sold for!!!
Im not dead, I move on!

Giles, 15 sales out of how many cloud domains registered? If you think there is a lot of sales are taking place how come you weren’t bidding?
@ Giles, Plus
CloudStaff.com $2000.00
from the FTDA, but it sold on Afternic, is you view the results posted by @MHB earlier today!
@Snoopy
Surely it doesnt havent to be explained again to you…just read all the post above aimed at you
I didnt bid because I didnt like the names
I didnt bid because I didnt like the names

@Giles
Might have been better to state that from the start instead of all the stuff about how this is “just the beginning” it is probably the end for auctions lie this.
@Snoopy
Why would I state that from the start? I dont understand what you are saying?
This “is” still the beginning and most people here realize that and I will only bid on names I like. Im not going to bid on names just to push the “future trends” agenda. I have a group of emerging technology names and I am happy with them and I dont want anymore, unless its a really good one
If you want to know things like that, just ask me lol?
I really dont understand what you’re saying?
Why would I state that from the start? I dont understand what you are saying?
//////////////
Because the people you are arguing with are saying the same thing, nobody likes these names, they are terrible and overpriced, that is why many were predicting the auction would be a complete flop.
Thousands of what some might term”pigeon shit” registrations with an end result of two names sold, both of which the seller sold at a loss.
The whole thing has been a complete waste of time and money, the only thing worse than people registering names like that is throwing more time and money selling trying to sell them.
Im not arguing with anyone, just stating facts
They are not all terrrible, I just dont want any at the moment and some of the reserves are too high, I never questioned that
When it comes to end-users, they think differently to domainers and some companies will find a use for FT domains, not necccessarily names in this auction, but other FT domains in general
If you cant understand this by now, you arent going to
I wont reply to any more post of yours, thats it
Pssst psst…between you and I…please keep quiet…will tell you what the next future trend domains you should register -all free of charge advise !!!
I had dream, I had a dream, I had a dream.
All domains that ends with “Sucks” eg cloudcomputingSucks and all ends with “shi*t” like “bullS” will be heavily demanded because people are so sick and tired of the internet, social media burnout and too many BS crap sites.

That is YOUR future.

Can you tell us what your last domain sale was? Just curious?
You seem to have the crystal ball…..

First of all I’d like to thank Stephen of SuccessClick for all the hard work he put in to trying to make the auction succeed, and I apologise for not doing my bit as a participant in contacting end users or even writing the 150 word reports.
To the people questioning why none of us put in bids for names ourselves :
I think my reserve of $10,000 for Channel3D.com was realistic in that any sale for less than that would be grossly below its true value. I didn’t expect it to sell however. I don’t yet have the working capital to be spending sums like that on names myself. Would I buy Channel3d.com for $10,000 or even $5,000 if I didn’t have it? Of course not. I don’t have the money. However, sooner or later, a company looking to launch a 3d channel will choose as the perfect title – Channel 3D, and if they have any sense, they will be willing to purchase my domain name for far more than $10,000.
I agree that the majority of the names on the list were way over-valued. I know that myself and several of the regulars on this thread have at least a dozen names each that are way better than half of the names that were accepted – but I guess the organisers wanted to give as many future trend domainers as possible a chance.
Speaking as an affiliate marketer who is making a lot of money right now from future trend domains (not by selling them), I’ll repeat the advice I’ve given before. ‘Brandable’ future trend names are a terrible risk. I think I only have two that have no other value than their potential brand use – You3D.com and Channel3D.com, both of which are about as 3D brandable as you can get, and both of which I’m confident will sell eventually for good sums.
All my other names are exact match keyword names that I can turn into sites and monetise right now or in the very near future. There will be psuedo-holographic entertainment devices on the market within the next two years – this is pretty much a fact – and I should be able to monotize all my holo/graphic names from that point.
Louise appears to have the right strategy – if you can’t develop a name yourself and expect to monetise it soon, don’t buy it – unless it is has unquestionably premium level brandability.
I think my reserve of $10,000 for Channel3D.com was realistic in that any sale for less than that would be grossly below its true value.

//////////////////
Always the way, the people with grossly overpriced names think everyone’s else names are overpriced except their own.
If your name was priced correctly it would have had bids or sold. I’m sorry but yours is exactly the type of worthless, overpriced name that sealed the fate of this auction.
@BullS
Thanks but I dont think I will be interested

friggin hilarious
lest have a loooooooooong list of names you own and names you have sold you little genuis you 🙂
funny really funny
@ snoopy
yeh you have all the answers
thing is you dont
people here know as we said from the start we DONT expect a mass amount of sales to come from this before you start harping on at me i dont have any reason to start bumping the auction
right got that ?
ok
lets move on
why no bids ?
its still early and its still a brand new concept in regards to end users not enough knowledge out there and a lot of people are also interested in this but sitting by the wayside watching developments before they buy just like everything else like this people watch and wait.
just like we have houswives etc now selling domains which was unheard of before we are now seeing people looking at what could be valuable in the future nobody has an answer and a lot will fail as the tech does not hit the way you hoped or does not make it.
now thats what everyone here does so trying to beat them down wont make a difference why dont you offer them some proper conscructive advice rather than trying to gloat your new found celebrity status.
oh by the way i dont need it i am actually one who has sold and very happy so far with my paid for list of domains
if some thing fails i move on and look at something else
3d i saw potential and i still do i went after things a little different than most here and didnt go for prodserv but then that does mean i am right either
my main 3d names concern
3d printing and adult i would like to think i have a strong portfolio in these but others may disagree tbh it does not matter cos i am a realist with my feet planted firmly on the ground.
i dont own one cloud name and only 3 holograph names and now around 15 solar names
i didnt see it the way everyone else did but that does not mean anything and certainly does not mean i am right and they are wrong.
you think its black and white you couldnt be further from it if you tried you dont know the future you can hazard a guess like everyone else no matter how you sound here you dont have the answers
MobileWallet will be bigger than 3DPrinting names!
……only my opinion btw , Mobile Wallet is the new credit card, bank account etc….. Global, pure globlal!!
@ namejr
i cant see it myself
printing actual body parts will get a lot more attention imo
why no bids ?
its still early and its still a brand new concept in regards to end users not enough knowledge out there and a lot of people are also interested in this but sitting by the wayside watching developments before they buy just like everything else like this people watch and wait

@iain
It is just more excuses. The auction result says it all….numbers don’t lie.
@Iain,
like we all need to print body parts all of a sudden!
Banking is a 100% must and there are billions and billions of dollars that is being poured into mobile payment.
type in google “mobile wallet” and read!
Stephen Douglas will not have to worry about his arm anymore, just print one off hey!!
Hi,
Is it too late to enter some of my 3D/Hologram domains into the auction?
Thanks.
Yep, the auction has finished Tag3D
@snoopy you’re an imbecile.
I probably earn more from my 3d names alone in a week than you do from selling names in a month.
I caught channel3d.com on the drop for $69. I hand registered holographicboxing.com and holographicgolf.com for $9 each. You’re an idiot if you think they won’t have huge value sometime down the road.
The fact that only a couple of names were sold at this auction is meaningless. All it shows is that there is little market yet for future trend names. The fact is that this is the first generation of ‘future trends’ – completely untested in terms of domain value. The market for future names will only become big when it has proven itself – and unfortunately it won’t do that until 3D, solar etc are not the future anymore but the present – in another 3 or 4 years.
@ MobileWalletDomains.com
lol dont you think i know what it is
i do
longetivity look that up
theres more money in selling this than anything else in the world put together everyone watst to live longer thats a fact its something humans have always strided for
a mobile wallet is what it is just another gimmick thats come along its not a major breakthrough its not life changing imo yeh i have read all about it
@ 3D Tablet
couldnt agree more
@ sheesh snoopy once again
talk about brick wall
lol excuses where ?
this is pointless even replying to you its your way or no way
you dont even take in what people have been saying nobody is bothered about the auction
@ snoopy and might as well count in the great bulls hitter
look at sales of cloud names there has been sales every single month of this year
now i dont have one cloud name so i am not bias here but when theres this evidence staring you in the face you can say whatever you want it dont matter sales are sales are sales and cloud names are selling whether you like it or not or agree with them they are selling so just accept it that some people have better insight than you will ever have and move on
Iain,
Who do you think will buy 3d body parts? I can see it working in the medical profession but aside from that the average person will not want, the domain – LegPrinting.com , what they hell are they going to do, print legs for people in a little factory, then I suppose you will only have to pay a surgeon $200,000 to stick it on for you. Mobile wallet domains will work in a similar way to how cloud domains have gone, look how many sites now compare credit cards, bank accounts etc……the same will work with mobile wallet, people will set up sites comparing the best to go with and giving out professional advice just like maybe someone who bought CloudExpert.com, CloudGuru.com , CloudReviews will do, just an easy and obvious progression in life. Who the hell will want ArmExpert.com, ArmReviews etc…… I can see why people will want 3DPrinting.com , 3DPrinting.net, 3DPrinting.org , info , biz etc…..because 3D Printing for objects will be interesting and fun for a while, human parts etc is just for surgeons and hospital waiting lists. This is only my opinion and by all means buy as many body printing domains as you can, but I cant see it ( maybe I need new eyes ).
All good fun.
Cheers
I sold cloudcomputingexpert.com
and I got many inquiries on cloudengineer.com
@namejr
i dont own legprinting or arm reviews lol 🙂
so you wont want a new limb if you lose one huh
you have a nasty car crash lose a leg you wont want it back you would be happy to just hop on
exactly thats what it is “the medical profession”
now go and research just how much money is in medicine etc
3dprinting and 3d bio printing are completly different
you dont think you will get this on the nhs do you 🙂
it will reshape plastic surgery as we know it today if it passes the ethics stage
i have only two bio printing names thats it but thats all i need anything else yeh you are taking a big chance i agree regging loads theres only so far you can go and i wouldnt go any further just yet but lets believe it everything else 3d is regged to the max even by people here.this is something that you cannot predict where it will end up how it will be used and what it will cost untill its out there
3dbioprinter
3dbioprinting
and i have 3dbio.co.uk but this was bought for something else
as for 3d printing i have 12 names all bought before anyone was really discussing 3d printing so 14 names in total just like the porn ones i started before most ie porn3d.info which i sold ten days after regging last year for $400 after paying just $9 not a bad flip
after some emails i did have some offers on some of my 3d printing names as well as my scanning but all around $100-$150 so i know they have value to companies in the 3d printing field it was a test to see interest and there was now i just wait a little longer
dont confuse me though i am not one holding to get $xxx,xxx like some
do i have the answers ?
do i know whats right ?
not a chance wish i did but i will try just like everyone to spot something and grab hold of it i had these names before anyone knew of bio printing most 3d domainers only know about it because i posted about it just like the start of last year most people on the threads were buying names after i posted information on that very subject i stopped because of this,if you have not noticed i dont post as much news items these days but i still know exactly what is going on whats advancing and whats getting cash injections not just in 3d but i still do not see the worth in these domains who is going to use them maybe buy compare the wallet .com if you think its the way its going to be used then dont hold out for much cash for it just try and double your cash:)
@ bulls
you are officially classed now as an ft domainer !
you want a rope ?
Mobile wallet is big business, banking is money and money is king. Multi million dollar companies are doing the wallet thing, T-Mobile own MobileWallet.org , info and biz so Im in good company, the owner of MobileWallets.com has been contacted by several brokers to put the domain on their books and the owner of MobileWalletNews.com , MobileWallet.Co and MobileWalletReviews.com want big money ( Hey Volts!!!) Im not going to justify why I have spent a few dollars on these domains, I dont have too. What other 3DPrinting domains have sold apart from 3DPrinting.com ? Not many!!
yes but will these people buy your domain
at the end of the day it can be worth 9999 billion but if they dont want your name its worthless and sorry i cant see you making the so called amounts you speak of.
its the next wave of banking maybe maybe not either way the names you mention are not going to be big money makers imo
still good luck to you but going on about it wont cvhanghe the fact you are guessing like everyone else just because a comapny owns a few names does not secure your names value
do what i did and create an email campaign and see what interest you get then get back to me i know what names i have and what offers i have had in doing this i know what should be the most popular and earn the most i suggest you do the same i am not talking domainers i am talking actual end users untill them i still say not much money in it for domainers with names like that
@Iain
I prefer to be guessing the same as banks than people on a forum.
What other 3DPrinting domains have sold apart from 3DPrinting.com ? Not many!!
//////////////////
tbh what other 3d names have sold not many 🙂
ouch lol
i seriously dont mind what happens its fun for me domaining nothing more as i stated before the auction
lol yeh but you are still guessing thats the point i am making here just like everyone else buying names like this its a big guess its a hit or miss its a sale or a drop
@Iain
Its fun for me too!
why not contact these banks and offer up your name then ?
@ 3DTablet said: “Louise appears to have the right strategy – if you can’t develop a name yourself and expect to monetise it soon, don’t buy it – unless it is has unquestionably premium level brandability.”
Thanx for saying that! It means alot, coming from you, because I both respect and admire you. For someone to say, “Louise is right,” is so rare, I printed your comment to save it and look at it once in a while!
Should I develop DualScreenTablet .net or dot org? Which one? I lean to dot org, because domainers say it is 2nd to dot com in value.
Good news! DualScreenLaptop.org went from obscurity to page 6 in the SERPs, without me doing anything.
@Iain
because I have had it 5 days!
end users are what you want if you feel this way start contacting those end users thats what i do when i have a feeling its good to see what happens it may give you a better idea of the names worth to them even if you have no intention of selling use it as a bench mark for the future when you do another campaign
@Iain
Im not contacting anyone, people to me look desperate contacting end-users ( Just my opinion) , I will sit on them. Good luck with your bio 3d printing domains.

but i also like people to be firmly planted on the ground all ft domainers need to be not just for financial stability but for all ft domainers reputations also
tell that to giles who has publicly announced some sales recently made that way
iain, namejr,louise and the rest, this is for you:
“The folks who know the truth aren’t talking. The ones who don’t have a clue, you can’t shut them up.”
@Iain,
I did say “in my opinion” . If an end user contacts you then I feel you can ask for more, when you send emails ( IN MY OPINION ) I think you are restricted on asking for big bucks.
Email from end-suer
Hello,
Ive noticed you have the domain XXXXXX.com , is it for sale? How much for?
Email from domainer to end-user
I have this domain for sale XXXXXXX.com, are you interested ?
I wonder which email will get the bigger price?
….the end-user will be thinking you are trying to get rid! Only my opinion, If i was an end-user and people contacted me with domains then I would think ” They cant sell it or nobody wants to buy it” , this is only my opinion, from a working class lad.
i would never send an email like that though i get them daily and they do my head in lol
@ bulls hey your still talking though 🙂
truth is nobody knows what will hit home as a big seller in a game like this not even you bulls ,some 3d has gone tbh i dont rate any 3dtv domains (even 3dtv.co.uk which sold for 5 figures last year) time has come and gone but other things in 3d have still to peak
not all 3d names will make cash some however still have potential and i have never said i have the gems i may make something i may not but the difference is if i drop them i will be the first to say i am dropping i am not scared of admitting when something does not work so your comment i wont include myself in it ok lol 🙂
@Iain
It was a brief example, people can go round the houses with bullshit to end-users, but at the end of the day, what I have wrote there is what people want to know.
last emails i have sent out i explained why i bought the name making it valid that i bought to use for personal reasons big explanation then i go on to say why i contacted them specifically ie admire their work i do reasearch on each company so i know what i can use whatever suits and then i say why the name can help them and should be of value to them i never put a price and i never make out i am actually desperate or even wanting to sell theres ways of doing things if you word it correctly.
this is my way and i found it worked rather than saying what you quoted above which is just pure and utter sales saying hey buy this name so i can make money from you
it works because i even get thanks for contacting me but right now we are not interested emails something like that back how many times do you get that as well as some who make an offer.
i am not an expert domainer but one thing i make sure of is i never let an end user know i am a domainer with toms of domains i merely make it out this is the only domain i have.
no i am no expert and i dont claim to be i decided this might work and tried it out it worked for me maybe next time it wont but its got to better than sending those other emails
@Iain
Fully understand if that is the way you go, its just not for me. I wonder if the the owner of cloud.com contacted the recent buyer with an email saying it is for sale??? If they did, imagine them saying ” I have this domain for sale Cloud.com, I thought you might be interested, I only want $200 million for it!” , or if the company contacted them? Based on that, i cant be bothered selling domains for low $x,xxx anymore, if some sod wants my domains then show me the money!
You’re an idiot if you think they won’t have huge value sometime down the road.
////////////
@3dTablet
They aren’t worth anything, “sometime down the road”, “wait a few more years” rarely comes for names like this. If the technology takes off there is still no value in names like holographicboxing.com and holographicgolf.com.
I phoned the vice president of an aerospace firm who showed interest and told him that domains are like children; that’s why I want to find a good home for them.
@Louise
I love you, Marry me?
oh and i also diverse away from the domain talking about whatever i know they are interested in which i pick up from the site,i have talked about recent progress made in 3d scanning and how it inspires me . i knew one site was on a high about for example that site offered $100 for a 3dscanningsolutions not a great amount but i bet if i sent that other email it would have been deleted and not responded to.

@namejr,
this was a sale of a very large business, not a domain sale.
@Snoopy
icloud.com then.
@ lousie
love that 🙂
what is im saying, is that contact a business trying to sell your domain and ask for thousands and thousands of dollars to me is taking the piss, if some git wants your domain and contacts you then they cannot laugh at your asking price, its your domain.
@Lousie
I would pay big money to hear that conversation.
@Snoopy
Still, if it was a business or not, I would have thought that the business was there to buy, not to be sold.
…what i mean by that is that they were contacted, not the owner was trying to sell.
@namejr, goodluck on your mobilewallets 🙂
@Volts
Thanks, keep tight of MobileWallet.Co & MobileWallets.Co .
Cheers
yeh but i bet it broke the ice lol
i would have been in hysterics if someone said that to me
each email i send out is always different writen especially for that company thats why right now i am not sending many i have major commitments now running a website and doing the marketing to raise funds on behalf of a charity i am involved in but if you are thinking end users try it out just the once and see what happens
even so when an end user contacts you your price still has to be realistic i would rather sell a dozen names a bit lower than hold out in the hope of making a massive amount unless i knew for sure its worth
i own xxxsex.org and i will probably own it for some time i know its worth and i will hold untill i get that amount even with .xxx but if it came to it and i know its value has gone down i will sell lower or in extreme drop but ft domains theres a real chance of asking far too much thinking your name is an instant goldmine and holding way past the actual time you should have sold and then never selling
@Iain
Fair play to you mate, maybe I just haven’t mastered an email asking for big money on a domain yet. It all depends what you want to sell for and what you are happy with. Selling domains for $xx was fun for me 2 years ago, a year ago till now $x,xxx was fun, but now I want more! Everyone on this forum will use different ways of selling, I work in a factory 6am-2pm one week then 2pm-10pm the next so sending out multiple domains does not fit in with my lifestyle. Its all good fun and I wish anyone and everyone good luck on finding that pot of gold, I just don’t look for rainbows.
dont get me wrong i want everyone here to be rewarded for the hard work done on researching names but we all have to realise also that its a tough game to get the big money $x.xxx is always easily achieveable but $xxx.xxx or even high $xx.xxx is not that easy but i wish for the day that someone here gets it in the meantime though its work as usual for us all 🙁
Me: phones satellite manufacturer’s Vice President of Marketing; “I have a nice domain name that would fit with your online marketing: GeoSatellites.com
Him: You want to donate a domain name to us? That would be great!
Me: It’s for sale for$1500.00 because [voice gets high and emotional] to me, domain names are like children. I want to find a good home for them. That’s why I called you – you sound like a reputable firm.

Let the love keep coming. Let it wash all over me.

Chatty robots go viral on YouTube

the lighter side thought you guys would enjoy this
@ Quicksite
Nice backhanded compliment, and sucking up to Owen Frager, who can’t get a comment on his site regardless of how hard he tries (at least I beg), who put me down for not “getting it” about “Cloud” etc etc. Did you know that Owen posted an article about a half year ago saying that “”APPS” would replace domain names? Of course, a lot of his logic was based on “tablet” sales and scare tactics. Then, not surprisingly, his “theory” blew up like the Hindenburg. Sure, apps will work nicely on mobile phones and iPads, but ultimately, it’s like labeling sites as “favorites”, and after 25 of those, you know it gets blurry.
The facts are that EVERY company will have a domain name, and most of the smart ones will have “backbranded” generic descriptive domains of their prodservs. It’s not going to change anytime soon.
Just so you don’t feel completely sorry for me: Our company owns at least five of the best “TABLET” domains available. We have it covered. Beyond that, we have over 500 FT domainers, which several own “TABLET” domains as good or better than ours. We’re confident that we fought for this position at Future Domain promoters, and we’ll keep our best members.
Remember — Successclick.com set out to capture ONE SPECIFIC DOMAIN CATEGORY: Future Domains.
Anything domain investors think is fresh, new, and coming soon, which includes yours, Owen’s,(can’t wait to see his “cloud” domains) and any other top domain investor purchases in the FT category, will understand that our company is dedicated to selling their domains at the highest prices, because that’s what I chose to study in 2003, New, future trend domains, which led to the aptly named — Future Trend Domain Auction™. I’m glad you “get it” now.
“The facts are that EVERY company will have a domain name, and most of the smart ones will have “backbranded” generic descriptive domains of their prodservs. It’s not going to change anytime soon.”
======
EVERY company or just those that can pay $185,000 and $25,000 per year ?
For people with 100,000 domains, it all gets very expensive.
Then there is .TK which is .FREE
@ stephen
reading some of the posts here must raise your blood pressure 🙂
as i said earlier you just have to look at every month of this year to see that cloud names have sold each and every month this is what was stated to me earlier
“numbers count”
well on that go and count theres over $100k probably closer to $150k of sales
cmon owen be interesting to see your names
lets get em listed here right now
challenge ya
i dont own any cloud names so i will be totally unbias in my opinion 🙂

Does anyone feel like it’s over, fini, that they don’t want to register any more domains? I just registered my last one:
MultiScreenService/com
which makes 13 in the last 30 days, and I am up to my ears in debt, so I have to stop!
The most recent hand regs are so huge, it feels like accountability to develop them, to make sure there’s content there when people try to research the topics: mobile dtv, flexible display (bendy), dual screen and now, multi screen. 3D wasn’t a huge focus, most of the great domains being already taken, or holo. You guys have those covered well. Only, 3DHomeScreen, that warrants a developed site, because the UI is going to be 3D on mobile phones.
At least I have a year to develop the ones I registered recently!
@ Leigh did a great site, http://www.3DTrailers.co.uk, which I will add to the list of developed EmergingDomains.

Kind of fits with my desktop 3d scanner domain.
No doubt about it that 3d Printing will be a big deal for a long time to come. I think 3D scanning will be a part of that, that is why I have my 1 domain name for 3d scanning.
Still only time will tell. First hurdle is to wait for the technology to catch up to the hype.

New video
Introducing PayCloud Mobile Wallet
http://www.bloomberg.com/video/72769078/
Hi Louise – yes, I’m still enjoying the LG Optimus 3D. I take all my videos in 3D, even though it shoots full HD in 2D. 3D is how you experienced it, it’s the perfect capturing of your memories. This is how 3D will take off. People will increasingly take their home and holiday movies in 3D, will buy 3D TVs or get used to watching 3D on their ‘3D enabled TVs’, and then start to demand more 3D content from the studios.
I notice that the HTC EVO 3D is still in the top 10 selling phones on Amazon.
The only thing that sucks is the battery life.
This is the question: Should I build on dot net or dot org?
DualScreenTablet
I’m leaning to dot org, because top domainers say it is the more valuable extension.
@3DTablet, I’m glad you’re enjoying your 3D phone! Both the Optimus 3D and Evo 3D have dual cameras in the front for taking 3D video, so it doubles as a bloggie! I like you can play back the 3D video. It’s a like two-in-one devices!
The Kyocera Echo also uses alot of battery and comes with a spare. You can find some nice chargers here and battery packs, including two with a solar panel:

Hope that helps!
@Louise, I own tabletsmartphone.com and tabletsmartphones.com how much are they worth ?
It’s Sunday, and I was reflecting on this scripture:
“And YOU must not turn aside to follow the unrealities that are of no benefit and that do not deliver, because they are unrealities.” – 1 Sam 12:21
I am guilty of that, like running to a mirage which I want to be an oasis, but I know it’s not, and I let alot of domains have to drop . . . so now I’m careful to just focus on names I want to develop, that I have a passion for.
tabletsmartphone dot com @ Volts has application in the future, so it’s up to you how many years you can keep holding on and paying the renewal, if you don’t want to develop. I’m up to my ears in mobile tech domains, so they don’t appeal to me, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have value to you or someone else.

RE: Wallet Domains
… can i ask WHO’S going to buy all these wallet names?
it’s not that i don’t think anybody will buy ANY of them, but why so many?… who’s the target audience?
Google? The banks?… who’s buying these?
I understand all about NFC but, and maybe it’s because i haven’t researched this is much as you apparently have, but who is buying these names?
**this is not meant to be argumentative – just naturally wondering because i just don’t understand the new infatuation
@Futrs
Fully understand your question mate. Mobile Wallet will join the ranks of banking/ credit cards etc…. How many sites do you see comparing credit cards, banks etc…. on the internet? The same will apply for mobile wallet and wallet domains. Everyone looks for banking advice, credit card advice etc….. same will apply for mobile wallets. Im not aiming my domains at banks etc…but for people who will provide a internet service, just like people are buying up the cloud domains seem to be doing. Mobile Wallet is going to be big business and I want to be a part of it. Same can be said who will buy all our 3d domains ? Maybe someone who wants to provide a 3D service or to sell a 3D product? Same applies for Cloud, Holo, Hologram and Holographic Domains, to provide an internet service, because trust me, big companies will not buy our 3D Domains.
Just my opinion, Im happy for others not to understand and the only reason I am posting my domains is to shed a bit of light on a future tech product that I think will have a big impact!
Cheers
@Louise I agree that .org is better – the consensus is that it does rank a little better, and I’ve found that to be so with my huge network.
@futrs I don’t really understand why your asking that question to mobilewallet.
“can i ask WHO’S going to buy all these wallet names?”
Mobilewallet answered it correctly, so I’ll just concurr. Who will buy any of the names we list here? People who think they can make money from the domain name. And if there is money to be made from mobile wallet services, then there will be money to be made from mobile wallet names.
The only question is – will mobile wallet continue to be the accepted term for the mobile payment services that are about to explode.
And with nearly a million google results in quotes, 100 news results in quotes, and looking pretty healthy on google trends, you have to admit that he may have hit the jackpot.

@Stu
.. thanks for taking the time to explain your thought process
… hard to put this in the same category as cloud, 3d, solar or holo – however only because it’s very – wait for it – ONE dimensional 🙂
3d has hundreds of different uses, products and services, as will holo… cloud maybe not so much, but more uses and services than mobile wallet… another service where you would go directly to your own bank to use.
Chase Bank has one of the best apps out there, where you can take a picture of your check and make a deposit from your home – have had this for over a year now – VERY COOL, but how many people have left their bank for chase?
i know it’s not the same thing as NFC, which is what all these mobile payment names are, but the point is the same… Stuff like this – ‘products’ like ‘3dSmartphone’ – it’s my understanding that people will flock to their local best buy, att&t, chase banking, wells fargo.. etc.. i know i am in the minority in this belief, but i never like ‘product’ names for this very reason – me, personally, i tend to stick to service names, and maybe concept or branding names, but that’s just me.
i hope i’m not misunderstood on this – mobile payment is obviously where we are going and the future (Project Blue Beam anybody?), and i myself have two names to fit this niche – eSwipes.com (coupon site?) and E-NFC.com (short brandable?)… but i capped it there because i can’t see a huge target audience or who would come calling to buy any more of these names …
… yes, review sites are GREAT, but unless you actually develop and ‘review these services’, what kind of money do you think you are looking at?
also… as far as developing goes – which names and businesses like this would most likely need and want to buy these names, what are your plans, because again, with all due respect, i can’t see these names going anywhere without development… unless you have a plan, of course.
thanks again for the reply and explanation.
🙂
Best of luck either way… i’ll always hope for the best for all us ‘FT’ domainers
‘Hit The Jackpot’?
Maybe I’m missing something – seriously, I’m not doubting that I am – I obviously am – but the question was more WHO is going to buy these names outside of a bank?
Seriously – this is not 3d, or holo… This is not a hundred different services, concepts or web site development idea’s, which is what I thought was the most appealing thing to ‘3d’ – endless limitations, and it still will come… But you’re talking BANKS now…
Do you see ‘Mobile Mortgages’ in the future?… Or ‘Mobile Credit Checks’ in the future? WHERE is the audience – WHO – AFTER the banks will look to buy these names is what I’m asking??… And if no one else – what bank is going to brand themselves on a dot net? – don’t forget – you’re talking BANKS!!
Consider that mobile payment is buzzing – and trending as much as you say it is – but you guys are all still hand regging these names RIGHT NOW – Why do you think that is?.. This is not a five/seven year ‘future’ plan – this is all happening and ‘trending’ NOW… I HATE to sound like a naysayer – I’m really NOT.. I’m just genuinely confused on the market you are aiming at and am asking because maybe I need to be enlightened(?)
@Futrs
That is like saying, who would buy – CompareCreditCards , BestCreditCards or CreditCardAdivce, or CompareCloud , BestCloud or CloudAdvice ???? Mobile Wallet is a new form of payment so have a site called CompareMobileWallets , BestMobileWallets etc etc will fit into the internet just like a dick would into a condom.
Cheers.
… o well, thank you…
… i feel SO enlightened now
.. so i guess that makes you the D*#K, no?

“but you guys are all still hand regging these names RIGHT NOW – Why do you think that is?.”
Because we can see how future services will pan out with mobile wallet, services that are not available yet, but will be in the future. When 3D exploded, people like yourself , myself and others were still reg’ding 3D Domains so this is no different.
Futrs wrote
“so i guess that makes you the D*#K, no?”
spot on!
erm not quite
mobile wallets names wont sell
there its said come and diss me in a year if you want
theres no market
why?
because all these major investors wont be interested in the names as they will coin their own
so whats left compare sites ?
ok i will grant you that one
so how much money can you expect from a non developed ootb wallet name thats going to be used for a compare site
seriously think it through the people you are thinking of buying your names wont even go anywhere near these there is no market and never will be a handfull of names here will be all that have a slim chance like ewallet purely because thats probably a name that will be used frequently even then you will find it hard to move it on.
rest are well …………………………..
what you have to think is l;ong term look around check the damm market check the damm investioors read more and then read more research previous investments made by these companies see what they used to term
done that ?
then you will understand
THERE IS NO MARKET !
a nice video for Mobile Wallet…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RJaAUeASyU&feature=player_embedded
there will be a lot of businesses to be created in Mobile Wallet like billing, payday loan, remittance, micro finance, banks, telco’s, transfers & etc.
Goodluck !
@MobileWallet.net yes ! u hit a jackpot 🙂

That’s like saying – if you dont have a developed site on a name then expect peanuts.
Does this then apply for any domain? Or is it just MobileWallet / Wallet domains whilst its me your aiming at? Yeah thought so…..

/////////
it applies to WALLET DOMAINS
you will not sell any of them unless its to another domainer
i guarentee without any problems that in a year you will be sitting thinking of dropping the whole lot
not one sale between now and then
you say you have researched it well not enough
there will be a lot of businesses to be created in Mobile Wallet like billing, payday loan, remittance, micro finance, banks, telco’s, transfers & etc.

yeh but they wont want these names why cant you guys see it lmao
lol cant wait for the renewals on these as i watch them all drop off the face of the planet
why do i slate so badly because i want others to think before they act you might think its awesome but i think its cr*p
cmon lets have a poll on this with everyone here to see what we all think
Are wallet names worth reg fee
no
yes
so far its 1 vote for no 🙂
@MobileWallet.net
if you want to get personal m8
3dsmartphone.com
where are ya ?
remember this time last year this is the way you were then with this and you are still holding it not saying it wont sell but what i am saying is put it into damm perspective just for a moment
you have not hit a gold mine
look stuey.. i’m not trying to have a big argument with you here, but you should AT least have conviction behind your actions… you have done NOTHING to answer a single question, getting nothing but defensive and spewing crap everywhere because you read about ‘mobile payments’
.. at least Volts through out somewhat of an answer to my initial question just now… which was all i was looking for in the first place…i would still like to know more about it rather than seeing your silly names all day long.. shedding light you said.. what light r u shedding?.. explaining nothing when asked
… i still don’t get the whole ‘jackpot’ thing… or see the market being as big as you think… and i have stated from step one that i could very well be wrong, so please keep that in mind.. i came here to ask more about it – ask more about WHY you think there will be such a big market, i obviously don’t understand…. still don’t see the market though
.. and let’s keep in mind, i thought ‘3dConsole’ was the last ‘jackpot’ and that couldn’t move for a hundred lousy dollars.
… some of us are not all here to pump our pom poms like SOME (most!) people here – no constructive criticism or truth to anything whatsoever, pumping everybody up for their own selfish, insecure praise back in return… some of us are here FOR real idea’s and to LEARN.
i can respect that you believe what you believe and stand your ground – but as stated, i didn’t come here to fight and to ask questions, but you are apparently real defensive if someone dare asks you anything that involves ‘information’
… so you wanna shed some light – shed some light big boy
@Iain
Go back 2-3 years and I bet someone, somewhere on the internet had this same argument about his/her Cloud domains.

disagree…
CLOUD has been the future of computing, and proudly so – never a fight on cloud
Futrs,
When people are back ordering your domains I will take you serious, till then chow!
exactly a year ago Mobilepayments.com and Mobile-payment.com acquired by Intuit.com
Mobilewallet.org, Mobilewallet.info and mobilewallet.de own by T-mobile
Mobile-Payment.com sold for $20,000
Futrs wrote
“disagree…

And daft as it may sound, Mobile Wallet will be the future of payment.
backordering domains lmao
when you actually sell i will believe you !
save this page for future reference
YOU WONT SELL EVEN ONE WALLET NAME
NEXT YEAR,YEAR AFTER 10 YEARS TIME WONT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE THERE IS NO MARKET FOR THESE NAMES NOW OR IN THE FUTURE ITS A TREND THATS GOING TO FAIL.
i know everything there is to know i was curious i have looked i have read i have researched and not just the news items i am talking the actual companies,people who are on this why the hell do you think i am saying this.
conclusion
not worth regging anything they wont sell
@volts
3dprinting.com sold as well
remember ?
wheres the rest
its a pointless exercise staing a few sales it means nothing dare i sound like bulls but man this is pure bulls
lets be honest every one of those names redirects so thats the best you can hope for that someone buys it to redirect it to the main site ?
good luck your going to need it
if you sell i will be the first to admit i am wrong and say well dopne but man theres not one part of me that can see that happening
Look, Im not bothered if no-one on here has any mobile wallet domains or not, who cares , there is no point arguing over future domains when no-one knows the future.
I just know that the words ‘Mobile Wallet’ will be used a lot, a hell of a lot in the future, and when this is the case you will find websites popping up left, right and centre with those words in, not my guess, just going off the past 17 years of the internet.
Cheers
@Stu
… Mobile payment is obviously the next form of payment – but this has been NO secret… They have been gearing towards this forever now – again – NO SECRET!!
.. There is no doubt in my mind that eventually, we will all be swiping our phones to pay at the register – not a one… But that’s not what my question was.
Also, and this was again WHY I was here – you state that “Mobile Wallet will join the ranks of banking/ credit cards”… Does this mean that people will be “applying” for mobile payments like a credit card?… Unlikely and THAT is where the credit card business and banks make their money… I have no idea if this is true, I am under the impression that this is NOT true – but again this is also WHY – I – AM – HERE – ASKING you…. To ‘shed some light on me’
You also go back and repost your ‘answer’, which basically says that the only market you see happening is mobile payment is in compare and advice sites.. Ok cool.. Great.. But – WHERE ELSE??.. And that’s NOT a market to ‘hit the jackpot’ on – especially – undeveloped… you then steer every other question back to 3d, holo and cloud with no explanations as to WHY you are suddenly targeting this very OBVIOUS
Are YOU giving mobile payment advice?.. Haha.. You don’t even know what you are buying how can you give advice?.. You saw a couple of cool video’s on youtube – read a few articles, PROBABLY within the past two months or so and THINK you have found the future when it has ALREADY been here
.. Well, if that’s the case (looking over shoulder).. I have a nice tip for you }}whispering softly{{
.. ‘Sliced Bread’
But don’t tell nobody, ok
btw – ‘MobilePaymentProcessing/com’ is available on GD for a Whopping $1,700
.. better than ANY name you have listed thus far… JACKPOT??
and now I’m done here!!
Njoy yourself
… you’re the only one who does
@iain, yes 3dprinting.com
one reason I hand reg. 3d-bioprinting.com, 3dbioprinting.org , .de & co.uk

@Futrs
What 3D Domains have you sold? Just curious since you reg’d 20,000 .info’s and many others.
And do we all give you stick ?
No!
We let you get on with it!
Just cause i reg under 60 Wallet domains, I get people wanting to shoot me down!
Why?
Not sure, but i carry on and on and on and on.
All good fun!
@FUTRS
I honestly don’t know where you’re coming from.
IF “mobile wallet” replaces “credit card”, as mobilewallet.net thinks it will, then obviously these names are going to be worth thousands of dollars each to affiliate marketers alone. How much do you think CreditCard.net is worth (and to who?).
@ MobileWallet.net
I reg’d 11 of them. They can take it out on me too. Here is the list, bring it on! lol
CloudBasedMobileWallet.com
Mobile-WalletService.com
MobileWalletCheckout.com
MobileWalletCloud.com
MobileWalletCompanies.com
MobileWalletPaySystem.com
MobileWalletService.net
MobileWalletSystem.com
VirtualPaymentCards.com

If you would like to add any of your names to my new marketplace find me through the who is and I will get them listed.

@ volts
yep i know
my point is this though
i have over 20 printing related domains will they sell
maybe maybe not more likely not tbh
when i started i looked at what had sold as part of the pointer to whether i may sell myself in all honesty i learned this is not a criteria that should be applied when buying you may think different.
stating a few name sales 1 or 2 or even 5 or 6 does not mean that you have names that will sell.if you look through this thread you will see i have stated names here that have sold defending trends against others but its a pointless exercise it means nothing the only person here who has caught a trend and made it profitable is giles with his cloud names thats it out of everyone one person has made it worthwhile
i have sold but nothing i would say thats groundbreaking stuff neither do i pretend i have “jackpot” names
i could read so many articles in fact i do daily on groundbreaking tech they all sound amazing but thats does not mean domains in that will sell.
untill people here actually learn what counts when buying domains then they will fail research is paramount and once you have that name then you have to start selling that name.
tell me who are you going to approach with wallet names
t-mobile ?
intuit ?
dont you think they would own them by now if they wanted them the companies involved have already made the decisions where they are going and how they will market and sorry to say it does not involve your wallet names
just because a .com sells does not mean your .net,.org,.info,.de is suddenly going to sell as well it does not work like that
bet i make more from adsense over the next year from my credit card relief site than you lot make together from your wallet names 🙂

If that is the case, wonder why apple didnt reg icloud.com, saves paying 4.5 million hey! The big companies are not always first to a domain.
well lets just think here
who knew about it first ? 🙂
you ?
or
them ?
who started the ball rolling in this sector
who started running news releases
who knows what they are doing from the start and has it mapped ?
i know do you ?
if you look at apples track record they dont know what they are doing half the time grabbing every patent they can get their hands on going crazy and for what 99% of these actions will result in nothing coming from it apart from apple trying to make sure they stay on top and preventing competitors from designing anything in the future all apple do is stiffle development
now maybe thats where you can market them to apple they buy any cr*p going
the big companies that design things from scratch are always on the game why do you think apple buy like this its because even they cant predict things but they want to make sure that they can get a piece of whatever becomes possible in the future so saying that makes no sense when this was on the drawing board the future was already mapped for this system
@Iain,
Credit Card companies have been going before the internet so why didnt they reg all the CreditCard domains at the start?
….so when you say things like –
“who knew about it first ?
you ?
or
them ?
who started the ball rolling in this sector
who started running news releases”
No big company owns – MobileWallet.com or MobileWallets.com ? Why ? Because people through a snippet of news or behind the scenes reg these domains fast as hell. You would have thought the banks own these since they are providing the services for it! But guess what, they didnt event it!
correction – I meant “invent it”
If Mobile Wallet replaces credit cards, all existing businesses with credit card names might switch to mobile wallet names 🙂 like creditcardsolutions.com might want to change to mobilewalletsolutions.com or creditcardprocessing to mobilewalletprocessing.com
so much potential ! too huge to ignore !
last year http://www.GlobalWallet.com sold for $6000 and it’s only a beginning !
Cheers…
Yo…what this big deal about mobile wallet BS crap?
First is cloud, 3d and now this.
According to my Domain Crystal Ball, this is totally BS
LOL… BullS, is like a master clock. You can always count on him to chime in at the right time. I love the fact that he sticks to his guns… everything is BS!
I may just start to follow him for that one reason.
Cheers
@ bulls
cant believe i am going to say this
i agree
i have researched this totally and not just over a day over a long period ignored the comments here but damm i cant just ignore it now when i see more and more names being regged.
seriously if the above comments are all you are basing this on man are you in for some serious losses and drops
lets see e-wallet potential for domain regging ?
erm no
The term E-Wallet is already a registered trademark of Ilium Software iliumsoft.com) (and they will gun for those trademaked names
so lets go further
thing is this is no more future tech and sorry but if you think that sales will come you are sadly mistaken
japan has it already and Kenya’s M-Pesa service has about six million users you are regging names now that nobody else is regging why because omg they just didnt think of it lmao
they missed the bus on their own tech !
dont be so stupid and naive

as much as you think m8 bulls has been a pain when he says something i am not too proud to say it out loud that i agree with this just so you know prove me wrong i will do the same i will hold my hands up and say fair enough but really the reasons behind regging dont cut it sorry
get agressive i will slam back at you without any problem like i always have with everyone dont take it personal i defend my corner no matter who it is i cant see it no matter how hard i try wallet names for me are not going to go anywhere and i understand you are the same on defending but take a close look beyond the articles and pr look deeper than this buying 3d names made me think this way
@Iain,
I was going to reply with all the Mobile Wallet articles, but instead Im off to milk all my cows to make money.

i said a long time ago on this thread i am stopping doing homework for others yeh i posted printing articles but seriously its been regged to death so that does not matter anymore but this mobile wallet/e wallet wow you need to look closely at whats going on if you do you wouldnt reg another name
now nowhere have i said that mobile wallets and e wallets is not going to come what i am saying is the domains wont sell so theres the clue for you

Please speak your mind every time! I get a chuckle out of it – youo guys are funny.
Variety makes baseball. That’s what is great about this thread. You have catchy, short domains, and you’re a good artist so you can develop, and I think you’ll go far.

Thanx, FINALLY, @3D tablet! I'll develop on the dot org, like I did on DualScreenLaptop, which is about page 6 on Google, but I haven't done anything with it lately.
DualScreenApp is page 1, DualScreen3D is page 3. You guys got to slap up some text and get your sites indexed, to give them that competitive edge. @ 3D Tablet knows this. He is collecting $$. @ Stu did it with SolarPhone dot com – it's going to be big! Think of how the smartphone is expanding into developing markets where electricity isn't always handy.

IBM should have processors 1000 x faster than today by 2014 :
http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/ibm-and-3m-creating-1-000-times-faster-processors
If this is true it will make a lot of the future tech discussed here happen a lot sooner than anticipated.
Holography, for example, seems to have been held back principally by the lack of immense processing power needed.
A thousand factor increase in processing power in 3 years is the equivalent to that achieved in the last 15 years. Consider how much, for example, mobile phones have evolved due to superior processing power since 1995 and you get an idea what we might be seeing in less than 5 years time.
Just to re-affirm the previous point – this is the most advanced mobile phone that processing power would allow in 1995 :

Broadcom to buy chip maker NetLogic for $3.7 billion
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-broadcom-20110913,0,6277470.story
“NetLogic is appealing to Broadcom because it makes advanced chips that go inside high-speed — often called 3G and 4G — cellphone data networks.
“These processing chips, which can handle massive amounts of data, are becoming increasingly important as mobile networks get upgraded to be faster and more nimble at directing traffic and more people use smartphones and tablet computers”
@ 3DTablet, Faster speed mobile device news all the way around!
@ iain, It’s a moot point, right? We all prefer our own domains. Not many have made huge sales by this point.
Whether or not 3D turns out to be a winner for domainers, technologies and future trends will yield the best returns in the long-run (I personally placed my bets on the real thing – Holograms -, which are now coming into their own see.. http://goo.gl/xJqOv )
You’ve gotta love the bloggers who day-trade names, while warning domainers about the risks of playing in the trends space; and are constantly telling folks that they’re setting themselves up to “go broke $8.00 at a time.” And most comical of all, they try to convince newbies to “invest in quality” $8K names, which they purchased for $5K only two days earlier. Who’s the winner in that repeated process? It sounds like that ‘greater fool’ theory is still alive and well.
Unless you’re registering long-tail names with the rent money, or really have no foresight (or taste, for that matter), tech/trends is the best place to be, IMO. And even though I’m not a fan of 3D itself (except 3D printing), I commend everyone for taking the risks. This year’s CES was only about 3D (and, of course, I’m hoping that Holograms will be all the rage next year, or the following).
The Future Trends auction (which I did not participate in) didn’t yield sales simply because the names selected really weren’t very good, and the reserves were absurdly high. By the 10th such auction, people will stand up and notice the great results. But going forward more time should be spent on selection, research, and evaluation of the names than on negotiating with the auction house, etc.
The Future Trend Domain Auction didn’t do better because the PRNewswire release – which was PLANNED – was never sent.
@ Gene. Good post!
I for one am focused on my Holo / Hologram domains.
I did buy quite a few 3d domains “playing catch up” if you like. I say that because for the majority of them I was just too late to the market and they’re not very strong domains.
A few longtails here, a few bad brand ideas there.
I do have a few cracking 3d printing domains though! (No jokes about 3dcakeprinters, thanks!)
I think in this game you really have to be honest with yourself and realise that the vast majority of domains aren’t going to sell for high figures; and the more tennuous and watered down the domain is the less likely it is to sell for a good price. Sure you can reg domains for adsense or affiliate marketing but generating content is hard graft, so no getting rich quick then!
When I look at all my hand reg’s by date though, I do see the improvement in my selection over the past 10 months, and I’d put that down partly to everything I’ve learned on these blogs, so thanks to everyone who has and continues to contribute
I’m a lot more restrained now and over the next year am going to be realistic in terms of letting a portion of my domains drop (I made some bad decisions, it was a learning curve, I’ll just get over it.).
Not retiring though, just going to make sure that my investment decisions are properly thought through.
On a different note guys I don’t want to stoke the fire but I’m definitelywith Iain on the whole mobile wallet thing. Some of you will certainly be lucky but there’s going to be a whole lot of drops next year!
@ Louise.
I definitely think that was a factor, also the fact that not many of us contacted end users, it all got a bit rushed I think.
But look at the developments that are happening right now particularly with glasses free 3D.
I think if the auction had been in 12 months with more pr around it then we’d be looking at a whole different outcome.
The Future Trend Domain Auction didn’t do better because the PRNewswire release – which was PLANNED – was never sent.
/////////////
It didn’t end on a day of a full moon either…….always some excuse.
@ Snoopy, you’re right, okay, man? You want validation. You’re a smart, insightful, wise man of domains, who sees a failure on the horizon, and alerts others and steers clear. You have survived this far, because of your perceptiveness and skill, especially in avoiding lost cause business endeavors.
I only have 5 hologram domains:
HologramSchool.com
HologramUniversity.com
HologramCollege.com
HologramSmartphone.com
HologramSmartphones.com
what a waste of time and resources.
There is more to life that this BS word domain game.

Regarding mobile wallet domains – I haven’t researched it enough to know whether “mobile wallet” is going to be a million dollar keyword term in 5 years time. I did a few Google searches and trends etc and it does seem to be catching on as the phrase for what undoubtedly will be something revolutionary in how we store and spend our money on the go.
We can argue all day about that, but IF it does become the dominant term, I fail to see the difference between “mobile wallet” as a genre and “3d” or “solar”.
There is a reason why credit cards are the no 1 competitive keyword term on Google.
I haven’t looked at all your names mobilewallet.net but I wouldn’t go crazy and buy up every related name you can think of. After all, if you are right and “mobile wallet” becomes as popular as “credit card” then you will almost be able to retire on mobilewallet.net alone. I think the law of diminishing returns comes into play here.
BTW, is there any reason why you are not showing google adsense on your page (mobilewallet.net)? There are ads already showing for that term.
Finally, couldn’t resist – hand registered MobilePaymentService.co.uk the other day. That will be my only one though.
@3D Tablet
Thanks for that mate, i only have 60 domains and that’s my lot.
P.S. Email me mate, I have a free domain for you I can push into you go-daddy if you have one, I think you will like it.
Cheers
…forget that last bit mate, I dropped it a couple of days ago and forgot.
Cheers anyway.
P.S. It was 3DTablets.net
Cheers
@3D Tablet
Ive added loads of you tube videos on mobile wallet to my site.
Be adding more things soon.
thanks
Here is one example why Im regging the mobile wallet domains, just been reading an article and here’s a snippet –
“Benjamin Vigier, an NFC mobile wallet expert, was taken on as Mobile Commerce Product Manager at Apple, according to mainstream media and LinkedIn. Vigier has been at the company for 1 year and 1 month. This is plenty of time to develop a platform compared with the few months Google took to put its Google Wallet together. ”
I have MobileWalletExpert.com . I admit, its only one snippet and other words will be used in the future, but I do feel quietly confident in what I am doing.
Cheers
I hand reg. only few mobile wallet domains 🙂
@Volts
You have about the same as me.
i’m feeling quite charitable today
.. so for all those clamoring to jump aboard this “newly discovered” JACKPOT market of the ages… here’s a few names i found for you all to go grab for yourselves to retire on.. because it’s SO hard to find anything in this niche being as EVERYBODY is just banging the doors down to get a piece of this HUGE pie:
ALL dot coms
• Mobile Wallet Review
• Mobile Wallet Compare
• Mobile Wallet Dev
• Mobile Wallet Development
• Mobile Wallet Payment System
• Mobile Wallet Payment Systems
• Mobile Payment Dev
• Mobile Payment Development
• Best Mobile Wallet Apps
• Mobile Wallet App Finder
whew… i spent all of two and a half minutes finding those very hard to get names
i know, i know, i know… these may NOT be as PREMIUM as ‘MobileWalletEXPERT’, but jeez i hope some of you can buy an island somewhere from these
ENJOY
@Futrs
All crap, apart from MobileWalletReview , but MobileWalletReviews is best.
Cheers
That was very nice of you, @FUTRS!
These are my wallet domains:
TaptoFund
WalletControl
ScanSmartphone
but the last one is a reject.
The news about the Acer Iconia dual screen touchbook is out, and I have, DualScreenTouchbook, but I wish I didn’t register it, since I am careful to stay away from trademark. Guess I’ll have to let it expire.
I intend to hand reg every possible name combination that includes the term 3d. Wish me luck, folks. When posterity writes the story of our time, will you be remembered. Friends, that result is completely within our control. Consider our contributions to future generations on par with other challenges to the status quo like when Lavoisier upended the idea of phlogiston or when Edwin Hubble first observed the redshift.
Now, I must move with great haste for I have some names to register.
Cheers, companions.
Regarding Hologram news…this juicy story, involving Apple, is hot-off-the-press:

total of 6 sales so far for them going back to 2007 maybe it will get better maybe it wont
still not convinced about it a $1k sale is nothing
still better than nothing
**Sale**
PowerWallet.com
$2000
still its not quite a mobile wallet or ewallet name though but i will include it for arguements sake
nah give me stronger related sales to what you have regged get a bit closer like this
electronicwallet.mobi sold @ sedo com on Dec 18, 2007 for $120
give me ones like that in this present day
If off to bed now before everyone starts buying my domains.
God bless all.
still not quite a mobile wallet or e wallet name though is it really
but you are on the right track to realise what i was giving you a clue to earlier
Iain wrote
“still not quite a mobile wallet or e wallet name though is it really”
What do you think they are using GlobalWallet.com for ? Oh my, It couldnt be another Mobile Wallet could it?
Its boring me this now. I’ll leave it there and save MHB some money.
Have fun Iain.

Using Global Wallet you can start receiving direct debits payments from all of your customers within just twenty-four hours — it’s easy to setup

@Iain
No need for the plastic sheet, your nappy should hold it.
@ Gene, great story! Did you get that, @ Volts? “3D Gesture” all over that article and video! Volts has 3DGestures. I told you it would be big!
Is that a 2nd screen I see in the patent diagram? DualScreen3D, baby!
@Louise, how much you think 3dgestures.com worth ?
@ Snoopy, you’re right, okay, man? You want validation. You’re a smart, insightful, wise man of domains, who sees a failure on the horizon, and alerts others and steers clear. You have survived this far, because of your perceptiveness and skill, especially in avoiding lost cause business endeavors.
////////////
@Louise,
I think the issue is simply people thinking up excuses when something has already failed, they like to put off the obvious with a bunch of excuses. Instead of simply saying “those domains in the auction were really bad” the people who own those names would like to think they didn’t sell for all sorts of crazy reasons.
@ Snoopy, Straight up, I respect you. It really IS my opinion that the outreach via PR Newswire would have been a deciding factor. Obviously, you guys are not hot and heavy for future trend, especially 3D. Neither are most domainers, or else they’d have registered more of them. But the outreach should have been done to industry via PR Newswire release which put it out to established newspapers, so that Hollywood execs, for instance, might have opened the paper with their morning coffee and noticed. But I don’t know if that would be enough.
CloudStaff – one of the names on our list – sold on Afternic, because it reaches more people. Something tried, true and determined should have been done to go outside the domain community. Stephen had his health issues, and the auction was put off for 3 months, then there was two weeks notice – not enough! So it wasn’t properly promoted, for whatever reason. That’s why I’m not convinced the domains are worthless, but that it didn’t get in front of the people I envisioned it should. C’est la vie. We have to make our own way, and can’t depend on achieving success through the efforts of others. I love my domains!
@ lousie
the major problem is people buy the domains and sit back waiting on someone to come knocking on the door with an open wallet (not a mobile one)
A lot of people sat around waiting on the auction and didnt do anything to help expecting others to do all the work.
domaining is not as easy as buying a domain and making huge profits from sitting on your a** but a lot here and elsehwre seem to think so.
now giles is the most successful here why ?
because he does exactly the opposite he makes an effort i have said this before to everyone here if you dont make an effort then dont complain when things dont go your way.
the ft auction was not promoted right it was not even promoted untill late by moniker also.
now i am treating that as a test run stephen has plenty of time until the next one and hopefully whoever has names in it will help promote after all its in your own interest its your names last time most didnt even send in a description that he asked for how sloppy is that you want to sell yet you cant even do that ?
yeh snoopy you got a point it wont work ever the ft auctions will crash every time as long as the domainers involved dont get a grip.
this is not an excuse this is fact not enough promotion was done so nobody can tell whether they will be a success in the future but when all the promotion is done properly and it still fails yeh i will back you up saying yeh its all cr*p
oh and before the auction if you remember i did question the domain selection but then most didnt submit the best they had and put big overpriced amounts in not thinking things through long term so next time lets get the best names in and decent not overpriced reserves with decent promotion and for gods sake people if you have a name in there help out and do as you are asked then we all know for sure one way or the other untill then theres no point going on about it.
Maybe we could all chip in for a Super Bowl ad to promote the next auction.
Just recently picked up some 3D ones:
3DDVD.co
3DSail.com
Catch3D.com
Buy3DSoftware.com
3DSoftwareStore.com
Any good?
@ iain, so we agree. If you took the the ftda, tied a rock around it and dumped it into the Pacific Ocean, it would have been better promoted than it was!
Just saw both 3DLaptop.com and 3Dbaseball.com on ebay…$5,000 EACH! Incredible pricing imo.
@Tom, that’s nothing, I’m offering 3Dfishinghooks.com for a cool mil.
I am offering My3Dshit dot com for free to anyone.

Also 3Dpornvideos sold for $2500
Excellent sales, looks like 3D is up and running again!
I would have thought 3DPornVideos.com was worth a lot more though!
Yeh both seem to have gone quite cheap I think. Well, 3DLed(dot)info is for sale if anyones interestd and cheaper!
Made a few nice acquisitions today, imho, would like to see what everyone else thinks. You guys are the best around in assessing future trend values and I value your opinions, gang. Here goes:

$10k in sales between two domains not bad
3dpornvideo.com sold last year also low $x,xxx cant remember exact amount though
about time something sold in adult lol
@BullS
Thanks for the welcome.
There are so many knowledgeable individuals on this message board who have registered some terrific names. Sometimes I wonder why have I not been granted this wisdom and ability to see the future so clearly as them. But, I’m trying to learn.
I think the troll comments are starting to get in the way of genuine discussion, IMO.

@ FUTRS, Oops! I did it again! Made another dual screen domain live:
DualScreenTablet dot org
Another long-tail, future trend domain. Now there are five in the dual screen empire:
DualScreenTablet
DualScreenLaptop
DualScreenPhones
DualScreen3D
DualScreenApp
When will it all end?
Picked up the following:
dualscreencloud.com
dualscreenholographic.com
dualscreenwallet.com
dualscreenstereoscopic.com
Louise, will our empires do battle or will we find a way to form an alliance?
@3D Tablet said “Just a fad. Some schmuck just put $2,500 down the drain when he should have been listening to 3dbsivegotnolifenomoneyandnodecentdomains.com” <– Who is that guy and what did he say? Much respect, he has a great long tail 3D name.
@3D Tablet, I’m not totally averse to all 3D names or those that would be included under the umbrella that disciples here call future trend, it’s just that some people who don’t have the money or missed the boat are jumping on the bandwagon and registering some truly absurd names. Someone might get lucky and hit on one and then everyone viewing this particular message board will think that they too can obtain a winning lottery ticket for under $10.
Registrars owe Berkens big time for what this thread has fueled. Clearly, it was not his intent when producing the post and commenting on the 3D domain market but I wonder how many names were bought by those that have read these comments.
@3D is my life, is it yours too
so listen to your own advice and offer constructive comments rather than shooting off the mouth with idiot comments.
do some good
simple 🙂
why do you think i make some of the comments i do,not saying my portfolio is multi million but then i live in reality if they sell they sell if they dont so what its a hobby for fun lol
@Leigh
i regged
Bio3DPrinter.com
Bio3DPrinting.com
to cover this just one of those regs at the time you didnt quite know where it would go but interest is growing seems to be moving faster than anticipated still not 100% sure on it yet
@ian, sure, I can do that.
The technology is called 3dbioprinting, so your names have the improper syntax. It’s like registering enginesearch.com and believing it to be a suitable substitute for searchengine.com. It’s not, so your names are likely not worth very much and by very much I mean reg fee. In fact, the term bioprinting is more widely used without the 3D term, so it’s superfluous among those that are involved in this field. So, Bio3Dprinting doesn’t make any sense.
@Leigh
I dont own any of the 3d bio printing domains, not my cup of tea.
Cheers
@ 3D is my life, is it yours too
lmao
exactly right
keep it up serves more purpose
“BullS” is my life and so is ALL OF YOU!!!
@ 3D is my life, is it yours too
lmao
Thanks for the feedback Re: 3d bio printing guys, couldn’t remember who had interests in it, but great article for whoever does.
@3D IS MY LIFE…
As Iain said, that’s constuctive, please keep it up.
A question for you.
As you said inproper syntax kills a domain, but what do you think of this
navigationar.com
Totally back to front but it creates a memorable brand name AND contains the exact keywords: AR and NAVIGATION
Have a few like this so would be interested to get your feedback.
Cheers.
@ Leigh, I featured links to your two developed sites in a post at the top of EmergingDomains. @ Everybody, I encourage you to develop your sites. Look how great Leigh’s turned out on Noomle! 🙂 Plus, 3DTrailers wasn’t even indexed before you developed it, like it was banned, but now Google recognizes it.
LION KING 3D Expected to Gross $25 Million in First Weekend
http://broadwayworld.com/article/LION-KING-3D-Expected-to-Gross-25-Million-in-First-Weekend-2011091
@ Louise
Thanks for the links
I’m more concerned now with monetising my domains rather than trying to sell them!
For anyone who wants to take a look:
3dtrailers.co.uk
ourar.com
3dtrailers.co.uk went straight in Google at position 33 for the search term “3d trailers” and in two days has gone up to 31.
Two more sites coming from me this week: a 3d printing one and a glasses free 3d site.
@Leigh,
My advice fwiw would be to concentrate on developing high value keyword domains. 3D Trailers does not fit that category. Granted, I’m just some schmuck trying to build a business with domains myself and not on par with someone like BullS who has developed the “website of the year,” but wasting time developing domains that likely will result in pennies seems like a fruitless endeavor to me. Acquire one solid name and pour all the time and energy you have for it into making it the best you can. Then, acquire another strong name and do the same.
You asked about NavigationAR.com, I don’t think that’s a winner either. Like I said earlier names like that are like trying to turn CreamIce.com into IceCream.com. If you look at the Google keyword tool results for “AR Navigation,” they aren’t very impressive so your name will probably not have very much demand. Who knows, maybe the space will grow and someone might want it, but I just don’t see it. Anyway, good luck and maybe BullS will share some of his secrets with us.
@ 3D is my life…
Thanks for the advice.
My next site will be a keyword rich domain with quite a high c pc, so let’s see how that goes.
Trying to spread my bets at the moment so aiming to develop what I think might be good brandable domains (if for little more than getting them ranked highly and exposure) as well as the keyword rich ones specifically to monetise.
Are you Owen? I like the Burning Man pictures on your blog! 🙂

Re: the iPhone 5 concept:
what’s with the thickness – or lack thereof? this looks like it will be nothing but uncomfortable to use – try and holster with your shoulder?… haha.. i see a lawsuit coming from someone claiming they have a cramped neck because of it 🙂
… i keep thinking of a line from Jurassic Park – “They were so busy wondering if they could, they never stopped to think if they should”
the hologaphic display that they are claiming doesn’t appear to be true holograpics, but more like ‘peppers ghost’.. IMPRESSIVE and VERY cool for all of us to have, but not real holographics yet.
.. and the keyboard that they are showing is actually called a ‘Pico Projector’
i have PicoProjector.co 🙂
i know there are plenty of doubters on the dot extension, but i am witnessing first hand that dot CO can and WILL rank if built out properly… my DesignCompany.co site keeps bouncing around between 17 and 40 for the exact string… AND i have it up to a PR3 in less than a year with very minimal link building, so these COULD be profitable names to the right party if used properly.

Good zing, FUTRS.
Perusing your site, I see that you have 3dCakes.net. I ate a 3D cake this evening after dinner, it was delicious, much better than the 2D kind. You’re definitely on to something. Excuse me, I’m going to go take a 3D crap now.

as for the site… it’s being put together as i type… not quite finished, but thanks for the visit…

and 3dCakes…
… is actually a pretty big business… i had originally bought this name for my then girlfriend – planned on building it out for her – she makes those cakes, but i will probably let this drop like i did her
.. me personally, not a fan of the fondant and the butter cream.

It’s glasses-free 3D, no less. Bring it, Toshiba!
@futrs
I don’t think holo-tv will kill stereoscopic 3d tv at all. Real three-dimensional holograms that you can walk around etc are going to be incredible for things like sport and porn, but I’m not so sure about films and tv-shows. Obviously, holo films and holo tv dramas will be made and will be hugely successful, but they will be in a different category all together from existing film and tv entertainment – which I’m sure will still continue in 2D and 3D. And although I can envision the existing 100 year back cataglog of cinema and TV entertainment being converted to 3d eventually, I’m not sure it will even make sense to convert much of it into holograms.
Furthermore, as I understand it, the Apple ‘holo’ patents and rumors are actually still forms of steroscopic 3D (slightly different images directed at each eye).
However, as the owner of Holo-Tv.com, HoloPorn.net and many others, I share your confidence that ‘holo’ entertainment is only a year or two away, albeit in a ‘psuedo’ manner (as I’ve stated before, as far as the value of our holo names is concerned it doesn’t matter a jot – so long as Joe Public calls it holo).
@ 3D Tablet
“I share your confidence that ‘holo’ entertainment is only a year or two away, albeit in a ‘psuedo’ manner”
and what’s the bets that the psuedo delivery method is via A.R. ?
Pretty good odds I think.
If we’re close on the timeframe for pseudo holo then that can only be a good thing.
Consumer interest will mean a lot more money ploughed into R&D for “real” holgraphic projections and therefore real holo products coming to market a lot earlier than most have envisaged.
Here’s a good example of holgrams delivered via A.R.

@3d Tablet
i certainly don’t think ‘real holographics’ or holographic tv will be here in a year or two, which is what i wrote… the article said within a year and i was doubting this… i realistically see this in about three to five years, leaning closer to five and not surprised if it is even a bit longer.
and you – are – crazy to think this will not be the death of 3dtv…. or tv period for that matter
consider that the television set – for almost a hundred years (what 1930 the tv came out??)… with all the changes that it has gone through – all the bells and whistels, the lcd’s, the plasma’s, the hd, the 3d…etc… tv – is STILL IN A BOX… the main concept of a tv is still the same as it was eighty years ago…. holographic tv and cinema will be the first time in our existence that tv will no longer be IN that box
… also consider the social and interactive growth of tv and the internet as we speak and combine that to holographic media and man, i’m sorry, once the price is addressed – not another living soul will walk in to a store to buy a ‘tv set’ ever again – EVER!!
for a simple little taste test of public opinion, you can check twitter and the feedback from the iphone 5 video floating around – and just check out how many people WERE considering a different phone until they saw that video and suddenly, people are JUMPING all over it, already talking about ending their contracts with their present carriers just to have that holo display – which isn’t even real holographics, like i said, it’s a called ‘peppers ghost’ – it’s not even going to be close man… not a chance – holographic tv will be the death of tv in a box the way ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’ – nuff said.
even if i didn’t own a single holographic name, i would still think the same way… the tv set (tv in a box) will look like a horse and buggy next to that.
the biggest problems we have with holo media and 4k and many of our visual future trends is:
(1) – cost, obviously, but a lot of 4k production has gone down significantly in the past year alone
(2) – content – 4k’s biggest fight is the up-convert…everything has to be converted to fit the fine resolution of 4k and te rendering alone, i can’t imagine how long this will take – consider that 3d needs to be converted from 1080p for both eyes – 2K – and that takes forever – and that DOUBLE THAT to get to your 4k
(3) – data streaming capabilities – this is probably THE BIGGEST issue those two techs have – sending ALL that data form A to B … this is not that easy of a fix either – this is a global problem… with the internet growing the way it is – and with mobile phones and tablets getting into the streaming mix, and then iptv using up even more data transmission – we will need a complete overhaul of the broadcasting and how we send/receive info…. once this area here is addressed – and i mean, globally addressed, holographics will only be relegated to movies and games and downloadable forms – NOT the interactive chat, interactive meetings that we are all looking forward to, which is the real beauty of holographics in the first place… the LIVE-ness (haha is that even a word :-))
also..
.. i understand ‘holo’ is a brandable, and if ‘joe public’ doesn’t call it ‘holo’, i am still prepared with a very strong ‘holographic’ and ‘hologram’ catalog as well… me and stuart have had this debate forever also
anyway you look at it – the future has some exciting things in store for us.
Please, I think you guys are getting a little ahead of yourselves here. We will not be watching holographic movies, tv, games, etc. for a very, very long time. I think you are confusing projected images with true holographic displays.
@Futrs
Yeah, I remember the conversation mate, I think your on the ball with the holo/hologram/holographic thing.
Cheers
@ 3d Emily
“Please, I think you guys are getting a little ahead of yourselves here”
isn’t that the IDEA of a ‘Future Trend’ discussion – to GET AHEAD?
Yes, I too believe we’ll have holographic displays one day just like when R2D2 showed Luke and Obi-Wan that message from Princess Leia. But, I’m not sure I would go registering every name under the sun you can think of with holo in it.
Do we even know if the consumer term will be “holo”? I think 3D will stick for some time and perhaps when holographic displays hit the mass market in 10 years or so they might be referred to as 3d holographic. 3D sounds cooler, holo sounds pretty lame imho.
@ftrs “holographic tv will be the death of tv in a box the way ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’ – nuff said.”
LOL, there are still hundreds of millions of radios around the world sold each year, and the only reason sales will finally drop is because radios are moving into mobile phones. There are also still many radio celebrities, or celebrities who are known primarily for their radio work.
I think I made pretty clear that holographic tv will supersede tv, simply not replace it. How exactly are you going to watch ALL news reports in holographic form for example (even if you wanted to)? “Hold on mr Libyan rebel, please wait before you shoot at the government soldier until the crew set up 8 holographic cameras to record everything in 360 degrees”. And will people really prefer to watch holographic versions of their favourite films? Does a 360 degree ‘upgrade’ of Casablanca or the Shawshank Redemption really add to those movies or simply destroy them (even if were possible to upgrade them to holographic)?
It may well be that all tvs in the future will be holographic but they will likely have the ability to play 2d and stereoscopic 3d as well, and a lot of the entertainment will be broadcast in those forms.
Psuedo holographic will be here much sooner than 5 years or iHoloTv (and I doubt very much, to be honest, if Apple will use such a clumsy title for any such tv of theirs). There are at least 5 companies, including Sony and Toshiba, that are very close to bringing out such products. The Sony 3D helmet is just one small step away from being ‘holographic’ (and Leigh is spot on with the AR angle). All it will take is for Sony to add a motion tracker so that whats on the screen moves when your head moves ( to fool the wearer into thinking that only his head/eyes have moved and what he is seeing is a real or holographic three dimensional image). And they already are working on that, even dubbing it ‘holographic’ themselves. I would be surprised if they haven’t got the V.2.o holographic version out by the end of next year.
@3dismylife – did you read what I said at the end of my previous message? Do you think the fact that ‘3d tv’s are technically not really true 3D has ANY bearing on the value of ‘3dtv.com’?
@ftrs
ps : if holographic is 5 years or more away, then your previous advice concerning throwing our 3d names in the bin hardly applies. I’m pretty much on course to be earning over $1 million from my 3d names by the year 2017
So, just to follow on given how lame the term holo sounds. Since, features need to be given a short name, perhaps to distinguish holographic 3D from non holographic 3D we’ll see it referred to as 3DH. So, I think 3D will stick however terms will be appended to it to specify the different versions of 3D technology.
Now don’t go all crazy regging all sorts of 3DH names like you guys like to do.
@3d Tablet
“your previous advice concerning throwing our 3d names in the bin”
???
really?
i just said to sell that particular name while there is a window
… you don’t really think these 3d domain names will stand the test of time, do you?
I’m at least realistic and think/know these all have a shelf life – but still, a five to seven year shelf life is still a lot of time to make a lot of money if handled properly.
.. plus, the term ‘3d’ can still apply to many things – but i think there will be HUGE difference in ‘3dtv’ and ‘holographic tv’… 3d chat for example, will probably still survive after holographic arrives… 3d casino’s is another example.
“the only reason sales will finally drop is because radios are moving into mobile phones”
… same reason tv in box will die as well – holographic tv will be portable and be able to be displayed anywhere – and yes – in our phones
… no i do not think there will be converts of classics, like casablanca – that’s just ridiculous to say or even suggest that i would have such a thought… forward man – forward… our kids will have their own casablanca’s in holographic media – no one cares about us as we get older – they only care about the next generation – always will.
@3dEmily
i strongly disagree… ‘Holo’ is a GREAT, GREAT brandable term – so many ways, so many uses, such a great ring to it…. short and sweet – can be married with so many other terms – all signs point towards ‘holo’ as the brandable machine… but the only problem with owning those names, is that they are not generic and are at risk of tm once they DO get tm’ed… this is the biggest issue with my iholotv name…. (clumsy, btw 3dtablet?… disagree)… i don’t think i will retire off such a name, but i think it will have appeal
.. 3DH and 3DHG are the terms many latecomers are begging for because they don’t own a holo/holographic or hologram name.
@ FUTRS, did you see my post to you on the last page? Your 4K time is coming.
@3dtablet
I would like to know how you are on course to attain 1M by the year 2017?
Is that some random number that you pulled out of the air?
I also have a few good 3D domain names but I would never project that I am on course to seeing 1M in the next 5-6 years.
Granted that 3D is still coming to terms and there is more to be seen from the entire 3D market. Even now, (last night) I actually watched a commercial (something I rarely do) and it was about a 3D phone (Dont remember the brand… I was concentrating on the 3D part). They put a good sum of money into this commercial and in their stated that it is the first of the 3D line of phones.
This tells me that there maybe a push to bring out 3D phones…. How many other things will follow?
If the technology ever comes out to drop the glasses (which is currently be worked on to perfect it), then you will probably see an all new reemergence of 3D. Right now all of us are waiting for the technology to catch up to the hype.
Its in the works… but there is no definitive date. So its just stand by to stand by.
As far as making a million. It could happen, but that is pure guess as of right now. No one knows for sure.
Just my thoughts.
Cheers
@Louise
RE 4K:
yes, thanks… but there’s still a lot of time for 4k yet – price, while cheaper – is still extremely high – especially in a tough economy
.. still no real content yet either and that will surely cost once it does come.
4k is starting to make some headlines, this i will agree with, but it being attainable yet is not quite ready…. soon enough 🙂
They’re going to need 4KRecorders in order to project content onto 4K screens.
Thanks Louise
I didn’t see that posting on the other page about 4K. I also have a small amount of interest in that subject. 4K HDTVs (dot) com (granted its plural) but still has some use.
I have a feeling that 4K will help define 3D even more. I can see a convergence of the two, but that is just me.
Cheers
Plus, my QuadTelevision finally has a use, and it’s 3D!
The ZL2 also claims to be the first to offer a consumer-targeted TV with a Quad Full HD display that has a 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution.
That must be the difference between Quad and 4K
Quad: 3840 X 2160 pixel
4K: 4096 X 2304 pixel
@Jack,
I posted on another thread that I recently purchased the LG Thrill phone which features stereoscopic cameras and a parallax barrier LCD display. This is one area where I can definitely see 3D taking off. After taking a number of 3D videos and then inadvertently turning off the 3D and shooting video in 2D, I was extremely bummed when I played it back. 3D just adds so much to your home videos.
just read that ESPN will promote 4K Sports http://engt.co/ojUyrk

I dont care for facebook but it should (hopefully) get people talking.
Cheers
@Jack
yes, it’s a number I just randomly pulled out of the air. I’ll come clean – I don’t make any money from my 3d domains and most of them are going to be dropped next month. I exist on less than £80 a week and I even lied about buying the LG Optimus 3D. Hell, I even lied about spending the summer in Barcelona. I had a weekend in Skegness. And it rained. Sorry Lousie. 🙁
@ 3DTablet, Hold the press! That’s big news!
Skegness is very nice! The photos of it look very nice. I live in Long Beach, so it’s good living while your faking it until you make it! You’re not the only one living in tight constrains, $$-wise. That’s not bad, to be able to live 80 GPD / week! That’s about my level, mine a little less.
Thanx for coming clean. I studied and studied and studied your sites, and thought, “How is 3DTablet earning hundreds per month on his 3D domains?” So I’m glad to have resolution on that! My Jacket-Dresses earned some $50.00/month, so I know it’s possible.
Anyhoo, it still adds value to a site to have it rank high in Google. This is what I believe, so I’m working on my mini networks like dual screen, and we’ll see what happens!
Ok… I was just asking a question.
Not accusing anyone of high-domain crimes or lying under oath. LOL
I was just wondering what I was missing.
But then again… if you really where not truthful about what you had, I can NOT really say that I understand why. You gain nothing when you lie about what you have and where you stand.
But that is just my opinion.
Cheers
i could be wrong – but i think 3d tablet was being sarcastic
@ FUTRS, that would make me a big fool.
Dual Screen News!
Canova dual-screen LCD laptop
http://techknowbits.com/2306/canova-dual-screen-lcd-laptop
Maybe… then he would still need to answer the million dollar question.
There are some of us who have some nice 3D Domain (I have a few) but being a realist, I do NOT see 1 million in sales on the horizon for many of us (my self included). I wish I could sit here and say that I was wrong but… I just cant see it.
Like the guy who owns 3D laptops. Its a great name but laptops have peaked and some will argue that they are slowly being replaced by tablets.
3D Tablets is a nice name but he only has the .net version of it and that will be good for a few thousand (at best).
If everything pans out for 3D (like I hope it does) then there will be a few (key word there is FEW) names that will command money in the hundred of thousands range but none of them that I foresee in the million zone.
The closest one that will command the most is 3D printer. That technology will be around for a long time to come. Much longer then the rest of the names we have.
Just my opinion and I call it how I see it.
Cheers
the only 3d names i see that dont have a shelf life are
3d printing/printer
3d webcams/chat
adult (only because this has had the slowest progression)
the rest probably will only last as mentioned
3d monitors,tvs,tablets etc i would start to question those names right about now when they are in the marketplace now and no offers are being made
just my opinion and before anyone thinks i am having a go i have a few names like this in .co.uk
either 3d is not that interesting or people still have not caught on to it myself i think its more a lack of interest in certain areas
as for the £1 million price tag yeh good luck seriously would love to see that but in reality i doubt it very much i cant see anyones portfolio selling for that,bit bemused by the whole affair but then i have always said i dont mind what they sell for if they do and if they dont so what i have learnt a lot over the time i have bought domains which now has helped me in earning big from adsense so no complaints from here 🙂
just remember some of the names you guys are showing around DO have a time frame for selling get it right you may do well get it wrong then its nothing worth bothering about.knowing the time and price to sell at seems to me is where most here will crumble as they have yet to experience that side.
thinking £1 mill says to me that you will overprice your domains to potential buyers losing a sale
just my opinion
i bought a load of dot co names assumption was if dot co takes off as well as 3d these names will have a better chance of earning something than regging a long tailed obscure dot com name
i have the following in dot co
3DScanning
3DRendering
3DModeling
3Ddating
3Dxxx
3DAdvertising
3DMobiles
3DSPORTS
3DEVENTS
3DAuto
3D-VIDEO
whether its right or not i couldnt really care as i have stated for over a year this is for fun a hobby for me if i sell great if i dont so what i have had fun and learnt a lot.
give me these any day over some of the regs i have seen in dot com for 3d
i have been slated for buying these in the past so its ok i have already heard it but i still stand by my thought process
Some of the names are nice names. I am just not sure if people are ready to combine both 3D and .CO.
Its hard enough for either one to stand on their own and when you combine then it just makes it that much harder.
That is just the way I see it but then again, I have been wrong before.
Cheers
@ Jack, You’re so smart, and very humble. What you just said makes sense. I don’t think @3DTablet was cynical – he said, “sorry,” so it’s better he is truthful now than not, but it is bad to lie. It reflects badly on your business rep.
Sedo, Afternic, Oversee are letting high-paid execs go, including sales reps who earn huge commission, and they’re streamlining and letting other employees go. It’s good you’re making $$ on Adsense, iain. Like you said, you’re not risking what you don’t have.
It’s becoming more level a playing field. Investors want to see domain assets earn income.
even still i feel its better than regging an obscure longtailed .com name i would rather have these and chance my luck

Regged quaddualholo3d4khdscreenwalletcloud.biz
After I sell this baby, I plan to retire on my own personal island.
Let’s see people, can we all agree that pretty much 99% if not 100% of the names people are posting here are garbage today and will be garbage tomorrow. Let’s not kid ourselves. It’s easy to get caught up in regging names and then going to great lengths to justify why one made that choice. It feels good to hold on to some pie in the sky dream of flipping a domain for a life changing sum. But, take a look at yourselves and your “portfolios” and let’s face the truth here. Personally, I’ve regged a lot junk, but I don’t go on message boards posting my garbage.
Where are the good “future trend” names, that’s would I’d like to see posted here?
@Ben
… 3dWebsites is the missing piece to this whole game here… once 3d web development begins and shows the rest of the world HOW it’s all done – the demand will change.
@Stu, @Iain
i love you guys no matter how much we play around with each other
… but you’re both FOS that you ‘don’t care if you ever sell a name’
if that were the case, why buy a single name?.. and one step further – why renew them?
why submit them into auctions with five figure demand – just give them away if you’re both feeling that charitable.
so, i’ll take your 3dAdvertising.co and 3dScanning.co names iain since you simply don’t care… email me when you are ready and i will give you the info to setup a push 🙂
@3dEmily
can you please set an example and a standard to live by and post a few FT names that you think ARE good.. and i don’t mean the obvious 3dtv names… let’s see YOUR knowledge base… you’ve already proven that Virginia is for haters.. so instead, prove to us something else
@FUTRS
I don’t know, that’s why I ask you, the “future trend” experts. But, it seems based on my limited knowledge of these areas that people are not posting names with any real value and are only trying to promote names that they were able to register.
how about a totally different FT topic

i have never stated i have a multi million pound portfolio or i have the best names or my names are pure gold or anything similar.
probably 10% of all names i have seen over the last year or so will stand a chance
anyway its fun why not tbh if i dont drop a name its because i know i can build on it nothing more if it all fails at least i can build it into something
i own
play3dgamesonline.com
now this site has front page for a hell of amount of keywords and gets decent enough traffic to earn but would you reg it to try and make a profit purely from a domain point of view ?
probably not
didnt think for 1 second about selling it i bought this a long time ago now and its developed and pulling clicks every day not a mass earner but an earner all the same but with the adsense earnings i could now make a nice profit from it if i decided to sell it same with all the 3d gaming domains i have bought most are developed now albeit all need serious seo work just a bit too busy and lazy to do it.
what i am saying is if i developed all my gaming sites properly and did seo on them i could sell the lot for a decent profit this goes for all my domains
so when you say about the regs keep in mind they can always be developed into sites earning income which in turn are sellable

WTF is D3Printing.com
By the way, good morning.
Good morning, @Emily. Ask @FUTRS about D3, it’s his domain.
@Emily (catching on) 🙂
D3Printing, i feel, is a great brandable for a 3d Printing company – as in ‘Dimension Three Printing’
i also have D3Sex with the same thinking.
brandable’s are always going to be a preference and subject to everybody’s own opinion, but me personally, i like it.
… also consider the SEO factor of such a name
i kind of put this together myself, but after i bought the name i started looking around to see if anyone else had the same thinking, and sure enough, ‘D3.com’ beat me to it… that’s his whole theme ‘Dimension Three’

…btw
… that took me all of three minutes to find all those links
and since i’m ‘dropping some science’ all over ya
… here’s another ‘bad idea’, i guess:
Dimension 3D Printers
http://www.cimquest-inc.com/dimension.html
… do you care to rethink your statement?
@ truth
truth be told 🙂
if you were following 3d printing in any way you would already know its being shortened down to “3DP”
if you cant find anything pointing to it its because you are not looking where it matters
i will give you a head start
type “3dp printing” into google
then from the options take any of the results you want ie “past week”
there you go
@iain I did what you said and 2 results came up, one of which was in english and meaningful.
If you take out the p, you get 211,000 results (for the past week).
3dp is not the name being used for 3d printing, anymore than d3 is the name being used for 3d.
And to suggest that a name such as d3sex.com is ‘good for search engines’ (as ftrs) did) betrays a quite staggering ignorance of SEO.
Again, when people see posts like this, then you can’t blame them for thinking that this thread is a joke and that everybody here is registering shit names. I know that ftrs is a regular here, and he has some genuinely good names, but that makes it all the more inexcusable.
I would add that this is a guy (ftrs) that thinks mobilewallet.net is money down the drain.
Google “mobile wallet” (remember to include the quotes) and you’ll get 99,000 results for the last week alone. That compares with a grand total of TWO for “3dp printing”.
Seriously. If mobilewallet.net is pants, what are 3dp names worth?
mobile wallets is going to be big but its the domains that wont be
lmao well i can find them easy enough
i think you need to learn just how to use the net
i will even add in actual companies hows that

3D printers scam $400,000 from bank customers

Greetings, FTers, I’ve just returned from the future, I’ve seen how your lives turn out and you will all be rich beyond your dreams. Your domains will open many doors for you, you will be seen as visionaries.
@truth
“I would add that this is a guy (ftrs) that thinks mobilewallet.net is money down the drain.”
i NEVER said this!!!
I even own TWO domain names in regards to mobile payments…. i came up here and ASKED why a few of the posters were buying SO many, that was all. I also only asked because i was curious as to where the potential market for so many mobile payment domains was going to be… nothing more.
I also openly admitted to not knowing everything there is to know about mobile payments and again, ASKED to be told more about it… i asked to have someone shed more light on the ‘market for domain names’ – nothing more.
i wrote:
“Maybe I’m missing something – seriously, I’m not doubting that I am – I obviously am – but the question was more WHO is going to buy these names outside of a bank?”
////
“… i still don’t get the whole ‘jackpot’ thing… or see the market being as big as you think… and i have stated from step one that i could very well be wrong, so please keep that in mind.. i came here to ask more about it – ask more about WHY you think there will be such a big market, i obviously don’t understand…. still don’t see the market though”
////
“… Mobile payment is obviously the next form of payment – but this has been NO secret… They have been gearing towards this forever now – again – NO SECRET!!
.. There is no doubt in my mind that eventually, we will all be swiping our phones to pay at the register – not a one… But that’s not what my question was.”
if there was ANYTHING i disagreed with, it was the whole, ‘Hit The Jackpot’ thing. I don’t doubt Stuart will make some nice money on a name like that, but ‘jackpot’ money??
… and again, my original question was directed more at the ‘market for domain names’ to be registering so many.
Never said mobilepayment.net was money down the drain!
i probably shouldn’t be responding to you… you already proved three things so far:
• you don’t know how to research
• you don’t know how to use the web
• and you don’t how to read what’s actually ON the web when you DO find something
but i hope that helps you out a bit
@iain and futrs
Believe me, I do know how to research the web, and 3dp is not “the term that is being used for 3d printing”. It is an acronym for 3d printing used by a small number of companies and is referenced as an acronym in a small number of online research papers. O.K, so if you have some REALLY good brandable 3dp names then you could well get a great offer from a 3d printing company. But then what premium 3dp names do you have? All I see on your page are 3dp1.com, i-3dp.com Well, you never know. If you don’t sell them in the next decade it’s only been $200+ spent on the lottery.
@ truth
i dont own any 3dp names
so i am not bias here
“3DP”
is being used over and over again
its new and its not that old so you wont see thousands of links to it what you will see is an increase over time as more companies etc rebrand it this way
i couldnt care less if it does or not but i follow 3d printing a lot and when the major players start something like this the rest follow.
thats the key here the companies who matter at this time are starting to use it whether it sticks who knows but remember this its new it could go either way
now whether “3dp” domains will sell i dont have an answer only time will tell
“lottery” ?
haha
i’ve never been out to break the bank, nor do i think i can – find me one post anywhere on this thread that states that i am playing the lottery – please.
if anything, i have been the one to try and tame some of the unrealistic expectations of others – true story!
and who says every name that you own has to be a ‘Bank Breaker’? many great domainers hold on to hundreds and thousands of $500 – $1,000 names – why scoff at me for a niche you obviously know nothing about? How can you possibly tell me/us that there is or isn’t value in a name like 3DP1 when you are literally just discovering this term?
3DP will not remain just an industry term, just the same as SEO is no longer an industry term… or REM for real estate management… the list can go on, but i’m sure you get the point.
I can appreciate your naivete and quest to learn more, but you can ask and admit that you don’t know something in your attempt to become better educated instead of smearing.. it’s ok to not know everything, just ask and you will be enlightened with a little more respect next time.
you can thank us all for teaching you something new today 🙂
with that said, i believe i have made my points to you and have allowed you to discredit yourself in the meantime… thank you for that
… so i guess there is nothing more to say but… enjoy London
@ftrs There’s nothing wrong with holding lots of small value domains – if you can monetize a fair few of them.
Most of your names are brandable (hopefully) with little hope of monetizing them yourself. You have at least 100 – 200 names listed on your page that you have little hope of getting any return for to pay the massive renewal fees – unless by selling them. And given that they are all ‘future’ names, that’s quite an investment gamble.
I’m not trying to be offensive or rude. Maybe this is just a hobby to you and maybe you’ve got an income from other sources. I just don’t think it’s a good business model if that’s what it is.
If anyone’s interested, Ive just had a $300 offer for – MobileWalletExpert.com
If your not, then sorry to bother you.

P.S – I know its not a lot but its a start for my wallet empire. lol

Hi, @ Stu! Great news! Congrats!
@ Stu, if you scroll up, my last post was an article link to the New York Tims, No Cards, No Cash. Just a Phone. Pretty neat article!
@ FUTRS has the 4K domains: 4K Recorder, etc. @ Truth, you’re right. FUTRS has some fine domain names! 4K Projector is the massive term, but 4KRecorder is not bad. And he has some others . . . There are some 2000 results for 4K – what do you get?
How about my “multi screen?” What does your research show?
@Louise
Thanks and I did see your article.
will be starting my own website paper soon…..

Good luck Stu,
I have a feeling it will be bigger than the USA Today. Wallets are a pretty big deal right now.
@3D is my life, is it yours too
I happy to be on par with USA Today, not bigger.

@ mobilewallet.net
just a quick question
if mobilewallet.net is such a “jackpot name” why do you have it at 100 euros on sedo ?
not causing an arguement here just curious thats does not make sense against what you have posted
if i thought it was worth a lot more i wouldnt place it at a low price like that and give it away as they say
@Iain
Try to buy it for 100 euros.
lol erm no thanks
if you think its worth more why would you set it at 100 why would you bother if you think or want £x,xxx then why waste time placing 100
thats what i am saying that does not make sense
@Iain
Have a day off mate!
If there was a “buy now” on the page then you can buy it for 100 euros, if it doesnt you cant.
ever used sedo?
jeez not having a go i just dont understand the reasoning behind that
am i missing a sales tactic here or something i dont know
not everytthing i post is having a go
@Iain
How did you know it was for sale for 100 euros, you’ve not been looking at mobile wallet domains have you. LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
just checking yours out m8 thats all
i wouldnt touch any of them you know i think they are cr*p i dont hide that fact
now i wasnt being a lil bitch but as usual you just cant help yourself 🙂
man…can you all let this go -all of the same posters here like stu, iain mobilewallet all get a room and bang out..
@bulls
free country go visit another part of it then 🙂
nobody twisting your arm to be here
sorry but i was asking a valid question from a domainer point of view nothing more not slating the name this time i was genuinly curious
if you want £x,xxx for a domain then you place it as such because nobody likes getting bothered with stupid offers they feel are lowball if you have a figure in your head then you dont want bothered with silly offers at least i dont and everybody i know does not want that thats what perplexed me
Iain
When did i say i want £x,xxx for the domain?
I want more than that.
Ive changed the Sedo page to make you happy.
Thanks
Stu
@iain…this a free country?
think again, everyday our rights are eroding fast before your eyes , go read
AmericaJobsAct dot com
many piss of Americans!!
its not anything to do with me do as you wish at sedo its your domain
i was just curious why you would do that,the reasoning behind it
not having a pop at you or the domain
i used £x,xxx as an example to state my case i didnt say that directly
gee i only asked
i will leave it there before the comments start again
@bulls
oh for fecks sake get a friggin life and grow up
its getting tiresome
I go away for a couple of days and when I come back I see word war 3 has broken out in this thread. We need Louise to calm things down in here.
360 degree holographic movie in China :
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/photo/2011-09/23/c_131154931.htm
The domains on this thread remind me of the island of misfit toys in the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Christmas special. There seems to be something wrong with all of them. They’re just not right, they contain added characters, transposed characters, poor extensions, bad syntax.
Let’s all call this thread the Island of Misfit Domains.
One caveat, MobileWallet.net is actually a nice name, the best I’ve seen posted recently. The .net extension is in decline so that hurts it a bit but a .net could work with this name. I mean if we move to mobile wallets as the primary form of payment replacing traditional physical credit cards, this name would be great for a comparison site for mobile wallet services and apps. Everyone will be clamoring to be the consumer’s choice as the mobile wallet provider with each provider offering various credit card options. I’m not sure which consumer term will stick but Google is calling their service Google Wallet so MobileWallet.net would seem to be a strong name. Saw an article on Portfolio.com about the subject today, looks promising.
New holographic radar system can track high speed shells
The British firm Cambridge Consultants has announced the successful test of its new 3D holographic radar system that can track fired shells traveling up to 1000 miles per hour. The new system called the Land and Surface Target Scorer (LSTS) and developed for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), is expected to help lower the cost of training and hopefully defend against small high speed enemies

Oh and 3dTablet is not a bad name either.
@ Emily, Are you Owen F? The paragraph you said about misfit toys is funny, had me LOL. That’s not sarcastic, I enjoy reading all the comments, if I need a laugh!
Breaking News! From USAToday:
Amazon sent out invitations Friday to a press conference it will hold Wednesday in New York. The online retailer didn’t divulge details, but it is expected to be an announcement for a long-rumored tablet device.
It’s expected to rival the iPad. Do you supposed it’s a dual screen? What do you suppose? Better update my DualScreenTablet dot org! How about that satellite that’s dropping to earth tonight? kamikazesatellite dot com is still available!

@iain, we expect a full report from BVE North!
Nice design, @ FUTRS! I have been looking at the progress, so now you added text. Good job.
The design for the dual screen Barnes & Noble Nook might have been inspired by the Spring Design Alex, who sued last year, and it was settled this year. The dibs are complicated by Amazon’s patent application for a “dual screen e-reader” applied for under secrecty in 2006, and granted in 2010.
The device, the dual screen Kindle Fire, supposed to launch Wednesday, showcases exactly that design:
http://dualscreentablet.org/AmazonFire.JPG
Amazon Kindle Fire Launches Wednesday
so, Amazon’s got a patent on it. Wonder if it will make trouble for Barnes and Noble?

What’s the difference between IPTV & TV Everywhere?

@ FUTRS: .. btw..
.. what’s with Firefox 3.6??
Don’t click on the Firefox plugins to uninstall a javascript. The Firefox plugins window popped up, and I clicked, Uninstall, to block a malware; now I got a big, fat trojan on my computer, that I’ll have to download a bug fixer and operate it in safety mode. Big, time-sucking mess.
@ louise
i bought
iptv.ws
a while back
never bought into this extension ever didnt think i ever would but well its packaged up with socialiptv.com only two iptv names i have
we still do not have true 3d websites yet, and while this here might not exactly be revolutionary, it shows that more company’s are willing to promote their brand in 3d vision… as well as using a ‘3d domain name’
http://www.normakamali3d.com
@ FUTRS, @ Brad, and @ Anyone who doesn’t think 3DTVEverywhere is worth $30,000, I’M CALLING YOU OUT!
Watch the slide show, linked above, (What’s the difference between IPTV & TV Everywhere?)
and say: “3DTVEverywhere is not worth $30,000.”
I DARE YOU!!!
Hi @iain, I like, iptv.ws. I have a friend who registered some LL, LLLs in different extensions, like la for Los Angeles. They are disappearing!
@ FUTRS, nice video! One of the best applications for 3D has to be fashion! Another one is music videos, but I haven’t seen one, except Jane’s Addiction.
@Louise
.. it’s Saturday afternoon – what the hell are you yelling about??
Put the drink down for a minute and take a dip in the pool or something 🙂
let’s just, for a second, use 3dPrinting.com as a gauge since it’s really the highest 3d sale we can speak of for now at $33,000… let’s forget about the fact that 3d Printing is a WORLD changer – yes – A WORLD CHANGER – for another second and look at the name you chose to DARE US on.
… 3dTVEverywhere
… nice name n’ all… i don’t DISlike it – but really … $30k???
… is this name anywhere in the class of 3dPrinting??… even in the long term?
WHO ARE YOU KIDDING??!!
What’s the difference between IPTV & TV Everywhere?
IPTV is a beaut because it’s a four letter gem with meaning
.. would IPTVEverywhere be a $30k name?
comparing IPTV and 3dtveverywhere is NOT the same thing – a better comparison would be IPTV vs. 3DTV
I wish everyone was more like you though, we’d all be rich if all endusers were you.
and to conclude your request:
“3DTVEVERYWHERE IS NOT A $30k NAME!”
… ok… now what?
🙂
“@ FUTRS, @ Brad, and @ Anyone who doesn’t think 3DTVEverywhere is worth $30,000, I’M CALLING YOU OUT!”
I accept your dare. There is nothing special about that domain name.
If you think that domain is worth even a fraction of $30,000 it is because you don’t understand domain name values.
Brad
@ Brad, Why? “TV Everywhere” is a huge term, one coined formerly by the cable companies, and now, by journalists documenting the burgeoning multi screen market, of which I own almost every great multi screen domain name out there.
1) It’s not trademarked. (2) There is only ONE TVEverywhere.com
Likewise, (3) there is only ONE 3DTVEverywhere.com.
If you keep abreast of current events in tvs, you know the trend is “tv everywhere,” and “multi screen.” Click, “multi screen,” in the top menu of my site, EmergingDomains, to see an graphic and some news headlines which describe what, “multi screen” is.
“Multi screen,” is not the physical dual screens or multi displays which are a separate category, though there is overlap.
“Multi screen” is its own thing, also referred to as, “TV Everywhere,” or “TV Anywhere and Everywhere” or “multi platform tv.”
So, DM Partners owns 3DTVEverywhere, which overlaps the two biggest trends in TV and mobile, and I think $30,000 is very reasonable.
@ Louise
“1) It’s not trademarked. (2) There is only ONE TVEverywhere.com
Likewise, (3) there is only ONE 3DTVEverywhere.com.”
1.) Every domain is unique. Just because a domain is unique does not make it valuable. There is only one 3DFart.com and how much is that worth?
2.) As far as a potential TM goes, there are a couple relevant TMs. Here is one below.
Word Mark TV EVERYWHERE
Goods and Services IC 038. US 100 101 104. G & S: Television transmission services; transmission of audio, video, and data via satellite, internet, or other communication networks; television broadcasting services; streaming of video and audio via communication networks; data transmission via communication networks; peer-to-peer network computer services, namely, electronic transmission of audio, video and other data and documents among computers; providing subscription television broadcasting services; satellite communication services; rental of set-top boxes for use with televisions
Brad
Lou,
I cant sell 3DSmartphone.com for £3k and its everywhere! 3DTVEverywhere.com is not worth $30,000 and its Nowhere!
Cheers
Isn’t that funny? Dish TV is trying to trademark it, but I don’t think it can. Others have failed in the past.
Anyway, you are one of a limited few of domainers who I respect and look up to. You advised Josh to sell 3DLaptop, and you were right!
It must be a fine line. With future trend, terms heat up, but then the technology advances.
But I’m not rescinding my view: $30,000 reasonable for 3DTVEverywhere dot com!
@ MHB, I’d like to hear your input on this!
Who owns TVEverywhere? It is under privacy at gd. Dish Network likely slates the domain for UDPR, pending the trademark decision.
What a shame! The industry coined a term it never secured the dot com for!
The more so 3DTVEverywhere is a distinguishing term for the high end of “tv everywhere,” which everybody is going to watch their live sports in 3D on their mobile.
The two biggest trends in TV are: “TV Everywhere” or “Multi screen delivery,” and “3D.” So those are the biggest trends.
@ Stu, Have you approached end users with your 3D smartphone? Just approach some end users . . . I can guess you didn’t email any end users – am I right?
@ Louise
There is also another TM which is listed as abandoned.

The truth is TM law is rarely black & white. It is normally a grey area.
There is a difference between just having a TM and having a defensible TM. In UDRP common sense might not prevail, but in courts in usually does.
As far as TVEverywhere.com goes, it predates the first TM I posted. There should not be an issue there.
Brad
just a little food for thought for all the 3DHG/3DH people out there … as to what everybody thinks the holographic industry will use to ‘shorten’ or alias their products/services…
… i was watching Back To The Future II earlier today (great, great movie!), and i don’t know how many of you have actually seen it or remember it, but there is a scene in the movie when Marty actually gets to the year 2000 and he’s looking around in awe of the future…
.. as he’s looking around the streets, there is a movie theater behind him that is projecting a holographic image of the newest Jaws movie… suddenly, there is a giant, 3d holographic shark coming towards him and snaps his jaws as he screams because it apparently looks so real.
here is a clip of the scene:
the point i am getting at is..
.. look at the name of the movie theater.
here is a better clip of the name of the movie theater:
and this movie was made in 1989

@mobile wallet – I think I let holohometheaters.com drop the other week. I have about 300 holo/graphic names and am letting a few drop.
@futrs thanks for the interesting link. I really think that it’s a no brainer – holo will be used to shorten holographic. In fact, as your video link shows, it was already being used to shorten holographic in 1989. I can’t see people suddenly switching to HG or 3HG when both are more clumsy and less aesthetic than the existing ‘holo’. ‘Holographic’ will still be used a lot, not so sure about ‘hologram’.

Nice Job 3D Domain Names.
Looking forward to hearing what domains there were.
I am deep into some real estate transactions right now and don’t really have time to play with my sites like I want to. I haven’t kept up with any of my sites, let alone the 3D sites. I am just glad that no one lost heart after that dismal show with the auction. I know originally I didn’t care if my sites sold or not but, now that I don’t have the time… it would have been nice to see some names go to someone else for development.
I would like to see the dual screen and flexible screen thing come to fruition. That would be interesting to see.

You sold it! Congrats! 😀 Over 1K, not bad.
@MobileWalletDomains.com, congrats…welcome to wallet world !!!
Thanks guys. I did try to sell in on numerous forums with offers over $500 , but no-one nowhere wanted it. I contacted a friend who has been interested in it for a while and he offered me $400 for it. I was not willing to accept that price so he put the bid in via sedo and I sent it to auction. I do see some future value with it but not as much as others see with it, anyway after the domaining world watched it on Sedo it ended up with only 3 bidders and the rest is history!
I am getting rid of all my 3D domains now, going to concentrate on Mobile Wallets / Mobile Payments etc etc….. As with Cloud, I see this as a lasting technology with good potential.
Cheers guys!
…..Just been thinking about mobile payments, Imagining selling a domain on Moniker / Sedo etc….. and instead of waiting 7 days for your money to arrive at your bank or 3-4 days for your money to come out of paypal to your bank, you just receive a text straight after your domain transfers with your money straight to your phone!! The potential is something special in my opinion!
Cheers
@3D Domain Names
…..You would have been paid your $2800 minutes after your transfer was completed! This will wipe out the phrase ” Just waiting for my funds to clear”, and we would have all known by now what domains you sold.

Hologram technology keeps making advances:
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/10/stanley-display-does-mid-air-images/
“Using a micro-mirror, Stanley Electric as well as Japan’s National Institute of Information Communications Technology worked on the principle of the method. Their combined efforts have resulted in the ability to converge images from a couple of different reflectors (mirrors), doing so in mid-air in order to create the hologram effect. It is hoped that future gaming consoles will be able to take advantage of such a feature – what a future that would be, MAKING 3D GRAPHICS FEEL PRETTY MUCH LIKE A DINOSAUR THEN.Other practical applications would be to see it function as a HUD (Head-Up Display) for vehicles.”
Martin Scorsese’s ‘Hugo’ forces cinephiles to love 3d :
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/10/idUS68328425020111010
“Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo” was unveiled at the New York Film Festival on Monday night, and the reaction to his unfinished film was so enthusiastic that it left one question lingering in the air:
Has Scorsese just saved 3D?”
Personally, I think Lion King 3D already did that – or rather proved to the doubters that 3D isn’t a fad. Still, looks like this could be the film that makes 3D movies ‘respectable’.
this must have been a drop – but it’s MINE now!!!

Similar to the clamshell LG Genesis, Samsung Tosses Its Entry into the Dual Screen Hat with Samsung Doubletime:
http://www.mobileburn.com/16983/news/att-outs-the-samsung-doubletime-smartphone-for-messaging-fanatics
Hello again my furry friends, let’s all agree that holo and holographic will likely not be the consumer terms. 3D is and always will be the shiznit. It doesn’t matter which technology is used to achieve the 3d image whether it be through anaglyphic images, polarization, parallax barrier displays, or holographic images, the consumer will just see these technologies as advances in 3D without really thinking much about them. Perhaps, once 3D holographic images hit the mainstream, all other displays including those previously called 3D will be called 2D. So, we’ll still have two classes of displays, 2D and 3D, in the consumer’s mind. During the introduction phase of the holographic display devices terms like “true 3D,” “real 3D,” or other such variants could be used. Ok, lesson over. Reg on.
But, I am open to your arguments to the contrary. Some may be annoyed by inferior points of view however I find them rather amusing.
Hi everyone, long time no see. To respond to “3D is my life”, re Holographic branding, I use the media company SKY here in the UK as an example of possibly where the naming of this technology is heading. SKY have a 3D channel called SKY3D up and running. Once Holographic TV becomes a reality aren’t they more likely to rebrand the entire network? I’m obviously biased towards the use of ‘HG’ but there must be other alternatives:
SKY3D
SKY4D
SKYHG
HoloSKY
I’ve always said holographic technology will get a 21st century make over and if 3D doesnt take over the world as recently predicted, the term 3D may eventually get left behind..
PS. Recently had some interest on the purchase of Concreteprinting(dot)com though so far has come to nothing, but nice to know there is already interest out there.
HolodeMayo! I was wondering when you were going to show up – yay!
@ HG, ConcretePrinting is a great domain! We all have some jewels in our portfolios. If you can register Sky3D, go for it! Those tend to be taken.
@3d is my life
If 3D is firmly fixed in the public consciousness, if there are hundreds or even thousands of movies etc with 3D in them, even if they are displaced by holographic movies then I doubt if holographic will be referred to as simply 3D alone.
And back to a point I made earlier, holography won’t simply replace 3D like colour replacing black and white or even in the way 3D might replace 2D. It’s likely that it will simply be too expensive and cumbersome to shoot everything from 360 degrees.
Of course there will be varying degrees and types of ‘holographic tv’ and the like. The first ones, and perhaps always the most popular ones, will be psuedo-holographic – slightly curved glasses free 3D parallex tvs that contain motion sensors which adujst the image slightly when the viewer moves. The viewer doesn’t just get the impression of depth, but also of a real three dimensional object ‘in’ the screen.
I honestly don’t think 360 degrees true holographics will justify the expense except for porn and sport.
alright, alright

troll comments are one thing, but pretending to be other users is a new low and I hope the mod stamps on it pretty quickly. Presumably triggered by the first big sale of 3d names by a user here.

Can’t believe they were still available, took the .co.uk’s too.
@3d Domain Names,
Nice sale. Yes, 3D photography will be huuuge. The public will slowly become turned on to this area as more smartphones offer this feature. As I mentioned earlier, I have the LG Thrill that sports a stereoscopic camera and taking 3D photos is fantastically fun.
As much I enjoy sparring with you guys, I don’t deny that there are opportunities in this area as you’ve shown.
Good work Leigh.

@ Louise
I’m not sure what fool convinced you that hand-registering names is a ‘bad thing’ – but that’s only true if you’re reckless, and go down the ‘long-tail’ abyss.
Hundreds of times per day there are unique opportunities to hand-register names that were previously irrelevant, unknown, or not yet considered.
Case-in-Point: I registered DrunkCandy.com , DrunkGummies.com , and DrunkGummy.com after seeing the slew of stories on high schoolers latest fad (http://goo.gl/NnAxW ). [Granted, with this particular activity I have no interest at all in monetizing these names, because there cover a line that I won’t cross].
Better recent examples are registering (a) Multiferroic.com after reading about recycling heat into energy (http://goo.gl/xKwVE ), and (b) DirectionalMaterials.com after seeing David Pogue’s “Making Stuff” series on PBS (http://goo.gl/di3Yf ).
Is anyone here going to argue that these names aren’t worth the registration fee(s)?
Correction: I went 43 days without registering a domain – a record! Actually, it was amazing to go 30 days without registering a new domain name. I was feeling strong, so I caved in to my addiction. With the big cats heading to TRAFFIC Miami, I was feeling lonely. You get that rush of power when you register a new domain, temporarily.
Regged my first .eu domain 2 days ago –

@ Stu, Congrats on MWApps! I looked at your list yesterday, as I was checking availability, and wanted to see if you had registered MobileWalletApps dot com and dot net. The dot org is still available! When I studied your portfolio, you have the consumer end of mobile wallet sewn up. There is still opportunity on the merchant end.
@ Gene, That’s a great discovery, about Multiferroic!!! Enjoyed the article, thanx. I bookmarked it. When you say, price of registration, you need to multiply it times five, because if it is in the discovery stage now, it might be a few years before it’s monetizable . . . You’ll be disappointed to know I let ResistiveRam com drop a week or so ago! Moniker picked it up and added a year to the registration. I read a post you wrote somewhere else. ResistiveRam has about 20 searches, and 10 cents CPC, I have to filter out domains I don’t want to develop. If I knew beforehand someone might want it, I would have offered it to you for $50.00 to transfer it! On the other hand, I have SmartSubstrates dot com – not going to let that one drop! It’s an industry term, it would be hard to monetize, but it has a nice ring to it! You should check my site, Bendy dot tv, and read the article From 3D to 3D on my site, MobileTech dot tv. Sorry I don’t want to put the link, but @MHB’s software traps comments with links until he approves them.

for those of you/us who were lucky enough to grab some nice holographic names – be incredibly thankful, because even with this tech actually being years away – there are no significant holo names that drop and there’s nothing available to hand reg, not to mention that anything u see in the auction houses are very expensive already.
.. this industry seems to be under lock down and apparently if u want anything even half-way decent, you may have already missed your window… has anyone else noticed this?

@ giles nice
i bought 3DPornVideo.net over a year ago nice to see the .com sell
@futrs yea, I’ve noticed that it’s rare for holo names to drop, even though there are good 3D names dropping still every day.
I would disagree that the tech is still years away. Technically speaking that might be true, but as I’ve said before, ‘psuedo-holo’ will be here by the end of next year.
@3D Tablet
Agreed that even if it’s a sort of mock-up of Hologram tech, it should be here by early 2013, probably being introduced in a big way at CES.
I attended this year’s CES in Vegas, and everything was “3D”. But given the nature of competition and global innovation, you can bet that either the upcoming CES in January (http://www.cesweb.org/) or the one 15 months from now will be all about Hologram tech.
The applications for Holograms are almost endless. Think:
1. hologram education and tutoring
2. hologram doctors, healthcare and elder care
3. hologram financial advisors, and on-demand consultants
4. telepresence and hologram calling
5. hologram gambling
6. holographic (combined with haptic) coupons
7. hologram games and puzzles
8. holographic tours and holidays
9. hologram stock trading
10. hologram tradeshows and exhibits
11. hologram toilets
12. hologram food
13. hologram cars
14. hologram mailboxes
15. hologram potato chips
16. hologram teddy bears
17. hologram baseball caps
18. hologram toothpaste
19. hologram suitcases
20. hologram cats
21. hologram slippers
22. hologram jockstraps
23. hologram spaceship time machines traveling through worm holes
I hope the holography team at the University of Arizona make another announcement soon. They gave their last update around this time last year I think. I know this ‘true’ form of holography is probably a good few years away from being commercially viable in terms of home entertainment, but if and when they announce that they have achieved speeds of 30 frames per second, it will really make people aware that holographic tv is finally coming.

RE: CES 2012
my predictions:
i think the two biggest things happening this year at CES are going to be all the advancements in ‘Connectivity’ (see ‘Connected Homes’, ‘Smart Appliances’ and ‘Connected Cars’), which have been MANY.
and as far as home entertainment, i think ‘4K’ is about to kick the door in and make everyone aware of what it is!
i understand the excitement and enthusiasm in holographics, but this is still just too far away to be ready for consumers in any fashion yet.

alright guys… please keep this calm because i want to ask again about ‘Mobile Payments’ and their place in the domain / website business.
I am NOT, in any way, arguing the fact that mobile payments ARE going to change HOW we pay for things and the future of currency – i understand that entirely- always did – however, i am questioning what their role is going to be in domaining and websites.
for example
.. i can’t see buying or developing a domain name/website around the idea of mobile payment – like ‘TapToBuy.com’ for example (not my name) for a commerce site – because we would then need hardware to bump our phones to pay (yes?).. would we only need to be on our mobile phones to do so? This is probably why i don’t get this niche too much.
Stuart – you recently got excited about a headline about gambling and mobile payments… u then flashed your new mobile payment domain and were excited – now explain to me how a website plays into this. (not doubting you – just genuinely asking)
I’m not asking to start a fire in ANY way – i am still very open to having my mind changed on this front – i even recently hand regged one name in this niche and see so many more available that are seemingly pretty nice… but for the life of me, i just can’t wrap my mind around the concept of how this plays out on the web and domain names.
Is there more you can introduce me to, as far as future development for maybe mobile sites(?) that will be implementing this tech into websites that will allow for mobile payments online that can help me better understand? I really want to see what u r seeing because there are a ton of names out there that would make sense if i could make sense of it all
haha
hope that made sense 🙂

Like with anything else, if folks stick with buying/registering quality names, it should all work out fine. My time horizon is 24-48 months from now when the major sales will be made. But, then again, market participants are famous for taking positions about 12-18 months prior to expected events…so noteworthy transfers could occur by next Summer.
The development to watch is news on iTV from Apple. So far, the stories have been about (a) it exists, (b) it will revolutionize TV as we know it, and (c) the integration of Siri, to replace/supplement remotes.
BUT…if holographic projection stories start to emerge, then all eyes will focus on holograms (not to mention the iTV, itself).
Currently, there are between 3 and 7 stories a day (that I can find) which discuss hologram technology. When that metric doubles or triples, then we’ll see some real action in this area.
Louise,
“Bendy” phone displays are on the way-> http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2395535,00.asp
Honestly, when I saw your domain and site, I chuckled to myself (as I often do at many of these names you crazy avant garde future trenders register) and thought who’s gonna call these things “bendy.” But, whaddaya know, that’s what they’re calling them.
@ 3D is my life, or Quicksite, the domains listed on Emerging Domains are researched and carefully chosen by educated professionals, who WANT to do business, and don’t seek to retire, so it’s noteworthy you found something positive to say about us . . . You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us.
@ Everybody, how about this proverb from the Holy Bible?

Just spent all day changing 190 nameservers and I feel like my head is about to explode!!

I realy hope HG is a term that doesn’t take off because I only have about 10 of them.
If it does however I do have:
HGConferencing.com
@Futurs. 10 grand by tomorrow and it’s yours. 😉
@Leigh
sorry – i don’t HG being the ‘big term’
plus
if anyone does try it – ‘HG’ and ‘HOLO’ will BOTH be the ‘brandable’ terms, and in risk of TM issues later – leaving ‘Holographic’ the GENERIC, non tm troubled name
i love the holo names, but they are risky – unless you want to place ten to fifteen years of registration on those names now to be safe, you will always be at risk.
i have seen UDRP make some crazy rulings.
One case where a guy had a domain name registered five+ years prior to this company coming out… the new company contacted the domain owner asking to buy the name, the domain owner asked for a lot of money and the business just sat back and waited…
.. waited for the name to come oup for renewal
.. and when the domain owner renewed the name – the company THEN filed a suit and UDRP gave it to the company because the original domain owner renewed the name KNOWING that that name was then TM’ed
.. so i think the only way to be safe with your ‘holo’ names is to register them for about ten to fifteen years out to avoid such a scenario
OR
TM the name yourself NOW and sell the name and TM as a bundle
down the road, i am planning some of this 🙂
Given that Holo is in current useage at the moment (all be it on a small scale) in relation to all things holographic, do you think some entity could come along and TM it?
Lot’s of posters on here are with me in believing that Holo will be the main term for holographic tech.
If what you are saying is right then we have problems.
@Leaigh
if ‘Holographic’ is the ‘Generic’ term – and ‘Holo’ is NOT the generic term, but just a name we are calling it – referencing, “NICKNAMING” it – then yes – ‘HOLO+PROD/SERV’ WILL be TM’ed eventually
HoloPhone WILL be tm’ed
HoloTV – WILL be tm’ed
HoloCasting – WILL be tm’ed
i have HOLOMERCIAL
(Holographic Commercial) – LOVE this name – but more than likely, i will be at risk of tm issues if i don’t
a) – tm it myself first
b) – build this brand out myself as its own entity
c) – register the name for many, many years to protect myself
HolographicTV, however, will not be tm’ed
Holographic Conferencing, will not be tm’ed
HOLO is just as you said – a ‘reference’ – a ‘nickname’ – putting ‘Holo’ names at risk
Who trademarked HD ?
i don’t think ‘HOLO’ itself will be TM’ed
.. but i do think HOLO+ will be tm’ed
as in an individual, case by case basis
Nobody better try to come after my holo name (see my URL). I have Skadden on retainer to defend this name and defeat any interlopers.
I’ve met with counsel on a number of occasions and we’ve developed a broad strategy to quash any and all reverse domain name hijacking attempts.
When you have a premium name you need premium representation.
Got you.
So if I put the TM logo on, for example: HOLO*****.COM does that give me any level of protection?
@Leigh
no – that little tm symbol is nice – i use it a lot myself – but it’s not legally binding
it may scare some others away from attempting to use it however – but nothing more
I thought if you had been using that term such as holo**** as a business name before the a tm is applied for then that covered you because it’s already used in the public domain.
I guess ultimately it depends on what you classify the generic term as being.
Given that the media is already refering to holoproducts as “holo tv’s” holo projectors” etc then Holo along with Holographic is already a generic term.
TM is going on all my sites though!
HOLO is NOT the generic term – there are no masses that will change that
‘Holo’ is a ‘term’, a ‘nickname’, a ‘reference’ , a ‘brandable’
Holographic(s)
Holograph(y)
Hologram(s)
is the actual TECHNOLOGY – they are the ‘generic terms’ you want – if u want generic
i have a few ‘holo’ names myself that i LOVE like crazy -so please don’t think i’m getting on you or your belief – i like them alot and am willing to roll the dice with them – but the fact remains – they are technically brandables, and all brandables will always be at risk if u do not have legal protection… it’s just that simple.
🙂
While I think that the ‘Holo’ abbreviation will be used for branding purposes with respect to specific product rollouts, I don’t ever see the world using it to generically refer to the category.
First of all, “Holo” sounds strange to the ears (reminiscent of “hollow”), and that, alone, gives is a somewhat negative connotation.
Second, the universal use of the [term] in pop culture has always been “Hologram”:
– Total Recall: “He’s got a Hologram” (Richter)
– I, Robot: “The hologram. It was programmed to call me in the event of Dr. Lanning’s death.” (Det. Del Spooner)
– Jem and the Holograms (1985)
– Hologram Man (2008)
Also, references to each term in Google:
– Hologram (18.4M)
– Holographic (13.6M)
– Holo (11.9M)
So, while “holographic” is a great adjective, if you survey the general public as to the term of preference, I think that there’d be no doubt that they’d all have heard the word “Hologram”.
@ Futurs, I appreciate your viewpoint and your advice.
@ Gene.
Absolutely agree to begin with everybody will recognise holograms rather than Holo (and yes Holographic is too clumsy)
It’s after the public become aware of holgrams that I think it will be shortened.
Before people were aware of Televisions, High Definition, Mobile phones, video recorders, remote controls, or microwave ovens they would have scratched their heads if you said, TV’s, HD, Mobiles, Videos, remotes or microwaves;
but it didn’t take long for those to become the popular terms.
Holo is that much catchier than HG and I realy don’t believe that the “hollow” association will account for much in it’s disfavour. I for one don’t even question it any more. (I did initialy).
@ Gene. By the way you’re forgeting “Holodeck” 🙂
@ Leigh
Thanks – appreciate your thoughts and comments.
Overall, the holo 🙂 space represents mineral-rich soil into which to hundreds of stakes can – and should – be hammered.
What excites me most about holograms is (a) the rapid speed of technological development in the labs – and how quickly the applications are being built by industry -, and (b) that there’s always a tendency by innovators to leapfrog (today’s) cutting-edge tech…and holograms are the successor to 3D.
To put a timeline on reality,…when all those stories came out about Steve Jobs working on Apple’s product roadmap for the next four years before his death, didn’t you immediately conclude that the 2015 version of the iPad/iPhone would incorporate holograms?
If not, then why didn’t the story read that he worked on the “next 10…or 20 year roadmap”?
Why stop at four years? Because he knew that the foreseeable limits to display and interactivity are a combination of holograms and haptics — just like Microsoft demonstrated in their recently distributed video.
Without repeating myself from a few months ago, I’ve taken a big punt on HG becoming synonymous alongside ‘HOLO’ as the terms most widely used to describe holographic tech, and registered over 100 HG related domains, 30% of which I’ll probably not renew these next few months. In regards to trademarking these terms, I have a concern regarding ‘3DP’ as an abbreviation of ‘3D Printing’ as it has been trademarked by Zcorp, a 3d printing company. I own over 30 3DP related domains; web3DP.com, 3DP.asia, 3DPsoftware.com, etc and wonder what right I may have in the long run to these domains…
@ Gene.
That’s a very good point about the Steve Jobs roadmap yes that did lead me to believe it; along with apples holographic display patents.
Honestly, I think that neccesity is the mother of all invention and whether it’s Sony or Apple or whoever else (it’s apple clearly!) The realisation that 3D doesn’t have any longevity as a display medium along with acceleration of pseudo holographic tech proves the neccesity to accelerate R and D for Holography…and boy is it moving fast!
HoloHaptics is it in a nutshell. After that it’s all fine tuning!
@ HGPortfolio
Don’t jump ship on them yet, for a few hundred dollars it’s worth the gamble.

HG TV: Holographic Television
http://hpr1.com/bestbets/article/hg_tv_holographic_television
so it’s an interesting discussion, particularly, since HGTV is a huge brand! LOL!
If they try trademarking BendyTV to take it away from me, I’ll expose reverse domain hijacking, because in this day and age, to NOT register the dot com or the dot tv when you’re setting up a brand, proves the business is fixing to hijack it. That’s what they’re doing with the new extensions. Instead of pay $185,000 fee to apply for the extension, they’re just trademarking them for $350.00 fee! Then they can let the chump do the paying and the work, and take it from him later.
i regged a name while back
HapticChat
just wondered what you guys thought of it
oh and i did a typo on my holo name it was supposed to be
holoprojections 🙂
love this name
@Gene
these numbers are very misleading and incorrect:
Also, references to each term in Google:
– Hologram (18.4M)
– Holographic (13.6M)
– Holo (11.9M)
if you’re going to search ‘frequency’, you need to search for the string in “QUOTES”
the actual numbers are as follows:
-Holograms – 5,870,000
-Holographic 2,970,000
-Holo – 11,000,000
now – please do not think this means much of ANYTHING with the tech we are talking about and targeting… MANY of these ‘Hologram/Holographic’ terms being referenced in google are in gaming, star wars, star trek and fantasy forums first of all.. plus Holograms also refers to anti counterfeiting and stickers as well as art while ‘holo’ is also referred to as a multitude of things, like Holocaust, Cosmetics, hardware, and so many more things that aren’t even english so please don’t think any of this means anything… fact is is still the same – Holographic IS the generic – HOLO WILL BE the “BIG BRANDABLE” term – not a doubt in anyone’s mind except for the people who missed the boat on holographic/holo names and are clinging to HG hope – no different than hoping III-D will be a winner in ‘3d’
sorry, but that boat has sailed guys – accept it 🙂

That’s not helpful to you in any way… You can read every article from all the top domainers in the world and when they talk about hand registering a domain name, the biggest part of the whole thing is to be overly critical… i have been smacked down and abused across the web from some of the very same domainers and would like to think i am better at seeing and spotting good domains because of it – i have made many, many mistakes and know i have gotten better at my research and identifying… my names are starting to look much better to a lot of people as the days pass… are there still some stinkers floating around my portfolio?.. absolutely, but the stinkers are on the way out as i have learned to not throw good money at bad money any more – we ALL pay for our education somehow or another.
i take alot of chances too – $7 here, $7 there to find out how the cards will fall is worth it to me sometimes… i don’t regret my chances, half the reason i take those chances is to NOT have regrets.
i once thought that HD3D was going to be the big thing at one point because i missed out on all the truly great 3d domain names – but i was young and dumb and full of .. well.. you get the point.
(.. i did sell one though for $100 though, so i never really lost money on that idea)
I call it like i see it and i would expect the same from you and everyone here – Devils Advocate rules – it’s the only way i will learn – it’s the only way YOU will learn.. i do this all day long with a few other domainer friends of mine…”Why?.. How?… Where?… Who?”… what good r u to me if you just toss your pom poms in the air like the fluff crew that hits this thread? if that honesty it too much for you – stop listing your names and asking what we think of them and subjecting yourself to criticism… this is an open forum here and maybe you need to hear it like i needed to hear it
again…
… sorry for upsetting you, but my honesty will never change.
Best Of Luck To You
@FUTRS
Cool beans. You have an opinion and you are entitled to it. If you’re predictions are correct or not, only time will tell. Personally, I think HG does stand a chance of being adopted by tech companies. Louise’s link to the ‘HG-Engine’ illustrates this perfectly. If you care to check it out, you may agree that the font, colour and wording does look pretty cool, pretty 21st century. The issue for me however is, how long is it bloody going to take! I agree that quality control is sorely lacking at times on this forum, and also within my own portfolio, and I’m not opposed to being told I’m spending my money in all the wrong places…it’s just that in regards to your beliefs regarding HG, I think in this case, you’re possibly wrong.

“sorry, but that boat has sailed guys – accept it”
Not for me, just bought my own boat:

Happy saling, maties. I’m on a boat.
@FUTRS
“these numbers are very misleading and incorrect:”
Also, references to each term in Google:
– Hologram (18.4M)
– Holographic (13.6M)
– Holo (11.9M)
THOSE WERE THE EXACT NUMBER OF ITEMS INDEXED BY GOOGLE WHEN I SEARCHED IT YESTERDAY – WITH THE QUOTES.
Like MHB, I am an IP lawyer; and I take my credibility and reputation very seriously. So please don’t make statements such as saying that the figures that I posted are “misleading”. While we all put our best foot forward to promote our particular perspectives, lying about facts isn’t something that I do.
And on a lighter note, here’s this morning’s hologram news:
http://goo.gl/UBDHn (Nike’s Hologram Ad)
Other than Holograms, I’d be curious if anyone on this string has placed bets in other cutting-edge areas – especially:
– Graphene
– Sentiment Analysis
– Aug. Reality
– 4D
Hey Gene
i looked into Graphene, (Miracle Material) but virtually everything applicable is gone – i am having a hard time finding a suitable application to apply a website/domain to what remains so i don’t have any at this time – i would like to have at least one pony in this race so chances are i will grab something in the near future as i watch the development… i do have a decent list of available names if you are interested in seeing – contact me 🙂
AR – not really – ‘kinda’ cool stuff, but i have somehow always seen this as gimmicky and not overly impressive for some reason… there are some nice uses for it, however (obviously in mobile)… i do have ARPresentations.com, which i’m still unsure about.
4d i have, what may be the best of the best (?), in 4dHolographic(s).com, 4dHolograms.com – and yes – 4DHG.com… i also have 4dProjection.com which has more than paid for itself two times over in clicks already (nice cpc)… fingers crossed obviously.
Sentiment Analysis – i have not yet heard of – could you possibly give me a quick little breakdown as to what this .
thanks 🙂
You know what, @ FUTRS? I call it like I see it, and you have lots of nice names. You didn’t even mention 4K. ARPresentation is a great name, IMO. In case you didn’t read the comments on the previous page, even 3D is my Life gave me props for Bendy.tv, which is graphene. It had a couple mentions a year ago when I registered it. All of a sudden this week, it’s the new catch phrase. You didn’t say a word about it. Not a peep. It’s like, it’s easy to dis names you don’t like, but you can’t admit even when names you don’t like become big, that it wasn’t your taste, and you might be mistaken.
What about what Volts told me about his 3DGestures? I put it on EmergingDomains, and think it’s one of the great 3D names, and now he sees it’s a category-defining generic term. He commented here, on the last page, and on my blog: http://emergingdomains.com/home/move-over-credit-cards-make-room-for-mobile-wallet on the last comment. BTW, volts has a mobile wallet portfolio that rivals Stu.
Did you ever tell Stu he’s doing well with his mobile wallet domains?
HG has its own category on EmergingDomains, which HGPortfolio owns. I haven’t even got going promoting EmergingDomains with end users. Why be negative? You are doing well with your portfolio, but – just as 3D is My Life admit on the previous page, people with different taste than yours might have just as good foresight as you!
Now, you take that back, about: “be like Louise and just drop my drawers at everything you guys say and register.”
@ Gene.
4D, No.
Graphene, No.
Got a few AR domains, instructions, servicing, navigation etc.
Sentiment analysis is very interesting. I have a couple relating to language translation which is goint to be amazing when that happens (hopefuly I’ll still be alive and the web will still exist as we know it!).
Other areas I have interests in are: 3D Printing, 3D food printing, thought controls, haptics and anatomical energy.
Show us your cards then.
Bendy IS graphene!
Bendy, stretchy, graphene transistors? Yes please.

@Iain HapticChat is a very good name. Google ‘Real Touch Experiences’ to realise why.
@futrs
Surely ‘Holo’ can’t be trademarked? It’s already being used widely, in fact wasn’t it you who showed us the Back to the Future film clip from 20 odd years ago that used it?
Still, I’m not an expert. An adult porn company has actually managed to trademark the term ‘virtual sex’, and somebody else has trademarked ‘virtual sex machine’ – both clearly generic terms in widespread use before the trademark was applied.

Following on from the success of Lion King 3D, with a Martin Scorcese 3D film on the horizon that already has the critics drooling, and Titanic 3D only a few months away.
Some fad.
Has anybody else noticed that the smell of 3D bullshit seems to have gone away?
@3dTablet
if you go back a few posts you will see what i said:
“i don’t think ‘HOLO’ itself will be TM’ed
.. but i do think HOLO+ will be tm’ed”
meaning names and terms like:
HoloPhone will be TM’ed
HoloMeeting’s will be TM’ed
this should be REAL simple:
‘Holo’ is NOT the generic term – it IS a ‘nickname’ – a ‘reference’
combine that nickname /reference with another prod/service and you have a BRANDABLE name – subject to TM.
Really simple logic here
@Leigh
Not sure how much of my ‘cards’ to show, other than mentioning those four areas of interest to me (5th being, of course, Holograms).
But I hold the largest ‘sentiment’ and ‘sentiment analysis’ portfolio you’ll find anywhere [PS. For those that don’t know what this area is all about, one of the best summaries is also one of the oldest, from the NYT: http://goo.gl/zT8gU ]. Here, I own 260 names, covering 90 verticals (e.g., PoliticalSentiment.com, TraderSentiment.com)].
Graphene I’m really big on, and think that it’ll be so cool and revolutionary that businesses in non-tech-related verticals will want to leverage the word “Graphene” to name their startup. [Here I own less than 20 names, including the only dot-me name in my entire portfolio – Graphene.Me].
AR – I have about 10 names, including ARfocals.com and AugmentedHolidays.com.
4D – I only have a few names here, but am comfortable with them: 4Dcoupon.com, 4Dgambling.com, 4Dly.com.

@ FUTRS, you better take it back! It might be a foreign concept to apologize to a woman, but it’s never too late to learn. Take it back what you said: “be like Louise and just drop my drawers at everything you guys say and register.”
Fat ego.
@ Gene.
Wow you really are big on setiment analysis!
Have you gone for the abbreviation SA at all?
One of the things holding back accurate real time translation of languages from speech is an understanding of the sentiment or message behind what the speaker is saying, once this is nailed then I really see near instantaneous interpretation becoming a reality. Just think how that would change the world!

Yesterday you mentioned the integration of holograms and haptics.
Can I get your feedback on these:
HoloHaptic.com
HoloHaptics.com
Cheers,
got to agree with futrs on some points
i have been ridiculed for names last year and guess what a year on i post them an lo and behold suddenly they are good names i have also been guilty of slating names as well but if you dont want to be criticised then bleedin hell dont post names 🙂
one persons rubbish is another persons gold and like futrs if i think your name is crap i will say it,I will not feel guilty about it since if i say ” yeh great reg well done” and its a bad reg you may start to spend more cash going down that road its good to get opinions on names good or bad it makes you look harder at what you are doing and stops you wasting cash on bad regs that you drop at next reg.
if you dont want to hear it then dont post it 🙂
so here i dont post much
why ?
because its just not worth it anymore when people start to see past their noses and start to openly discuss properly i might just might get involved again.
now onto something else
to all who bought names from me i thank you for taking time out to get in touch and for prompt payment its appreciated 🙂
thanks for feedback 3dtablet i agree i just wondered if anyone else did another persons view sometimes helps 🙂
It takes a man to admit he’s wrong. I was up to almost 800 domains; now they are 300, and they have to get whittled some more.
I got precious little recognition and congratulations for making the leader board of DomainFest’s fantasy domaining game, to choose 25 of the most money-making domains from a list of 1000 . . . That’s how I roll. I’m aggressive. I can have my opinions on HG-domains. Other people aren’t the only one. I’m entitled to my opinion, too.
@Louise
i have no problem apologizing for something i may have done that is wrong – but telling it like it is, i will not apologize for.
you are by far – the least objective person on the web – you raise pom poms and praise for anything that has an extension – end of story – you have no objectivity to you whatsoever!! Perhaps this is your method for networking and making friends – but for me – i want a friend to tell me when i have snot on my face – not let me walk around with it on my face for a year – ya dig? THAT’s a friend!
i don’t have an ego – why would i? i have stated a thousand times over and over on this thread that i have a lot to learn … that there are industries that i do not know about – i have asked numerous times for explanations within certain industries and tech for descriptions and/or reasons… i have stated over and over that i may be wrong about this – about that… there’s no ego to worry about here – this isn’t an ego ‘issue’
‘HG’ MAY actually be used to refer to Holographics at some point – but if it is – i can assure you – that it will be MINIMALLY used at best… because you found three – four articles that actually mention ‘HG’ against the thousands and thousands that say Holo/Holographic/Hologram proves this as well
some people choke on a mcdonalds hamburger – doesn’t mean EVERYONE will choke on a mcdonalds hamburger – doesn’t even mean that 5% of the customers will choke on a mcdonalds hamburger – but – some people, well, some people just choke – ya dig?
haha
i don’t know why the population of this board is so damn sensitive. Man Up Chica’s! Free talk makes you better – listening makes you better – hearing how bad i did or how stupid i was for thinking about this or that, makes me better – i’m here to talk and debate – to make myself better… to play’s devil’s advocate – i just wish there were more top shelf domainers here on this thread to offer more genuine feedback.
i’m a 1600 chess player – i didn’t get that way by playing 900 competition – i got that way by playing against those with 1700 rankings for years and getting my ASS WHIOOPED!!!
the only way to learn my dear- and i do want to learn – but with you saying everything is great, great great – is bettering nobody – not a soul – not to mention – no one will ever know f they actually DO have a good name if EVERYTHING is GREAT! This is called ‘Putting Stock In Your Word’
so no hard feelings
i’d still sit and have a drink with you
none of this means i hate you – we can openly discuss and disagree and be ADULTS with no tears and sugarcoating and be fine with each other afterwards – y not – it’s the one’s that CAN’T do that that have the EGO… i’m fine – hope you are too
.. don’t choke 🙂
Okay the reason I think HG Portfolio is going to do okay – maybe even well – is because what you said, it’s brandable, PLUS, he registered a series of domains. That is my plan: of the four techs under the MobileTechTV umbrella, turn them into $$-making NETWORKS.
So that might be something of the future . . . a network of domains, instead of JUST A SINGLE DOMAIN WITH A SINGLE EXTENSION. It’s kind of poor.
oy yeh oh yeh
hit the nail on the head not one person here can take criticism why the hell do you think i dont bother with this anymore lol
not every name is great mine included some names here are fair at best some are great some will earn some wont
i couldnt care less now about about any of this 🙂
yep you heard right i have better ways to use up my energy than get into some pathetic childlike quarrel with someone
no news from me and no posts well theres your reason i dont want to be a part of the immaturity thats being shown time and time again here.
nobody on this thread is open to discussion when you ask for explanations you get shot down and the petty snipes start now thats playground stuff and wait are we all not adults ?
dont post if your not ready to explain a reg or tech or even the fact that nobody likes the name
if you cant take the heat then damm man stay outa the fire !

– a mini network!
That’s kind of the idea I had, AND thr reason of listing emerging domains other than mine . . . if I sell a 3D or two, and the client is looking for another, I could refer him to one of you!
@ ian said: “dont take things so personal and drive an arguement it does not look good.”
As long as YOU don’t take things too personal! If I see you two in a bar I’m going to drop my drawers and wrap them around your face!

“Bendy” is all over the news!
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&btnmeta_news_search=1&q=bendy&oq=bendy
Nobody can squeeze out a compliment for me because I called it. Nobody, except – ironically! – 3D is My Life. This is what he said:
Louise,
“Bendy” phone displays are on the way-> http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2395535,00.asp
Honestly, when I saw your domain and site, I chuckled to myself (as I often do at many of these names you crazy avant garde future trenders register) and thought who’s gonna call these things “bendy.” But, whaddaya know, that’s what they’re calling them.
People who are insecure complimenting other people because they can’t be top dog but feel empowered by putting other people down, don’t have balanced opinions. At least 3D is My Life gave me props! But those people can never be happy.
@futrs apologies regarding the holo trademark misunderstanding.
I have over 300 holo names I think, and most of them are up for renewal this month. I’m not sure I can afford the extra expense of trademarking them all.
@BendyTV
Bendy is going to be big very soon. A few years down the road and we will see stretchy screens – so a mobile phone can be the size of a wrist watch (and probably worn on the wrist), and then stretched to become a tablet.
@everybody
let’s be positive. 3D is proving itself not to be a fad at this very moment. 3D movies are getting better and even more popular than before, the first 3D phones are already out with more to come next year, and a 55″ glasses free 3D TV goes on sale next month. Furthermore, Sony’s ‘personal 3D viewer’ is about to go on sale, and is only one step (or one year) away from being the first real virtual reality/’holographic’ device.
I’ve been watching the 3D trailers for Avatar, Tintin, and others on my LG Optimus 3D phone. I can honestly say that anyone who doubts that 3D is the future is going to be quickly proven to have been an idiot.
This time next year, we’ll be millionaires! (almost!)
@Leigh, Gene, 3d Tablet
i want to correct myself on the use of the ‘tm’ symbol and trademarking..
.. i have done a little more research and spoken to a few people who are more knowledgeable than myself on this topic, and from what i understand, by placing the ‘tm’ symbol on your domain name or printed materials it actually ‘BEGINS’ the tm process, wherein five years time of use, it does become legal – and then ‘Registered’.
I could still be misunderstanding the complete legalities of such usage, so please don’t take my word as authority in any case on this matter… i guess dig in a little further to find out and clarify this subject a little more clearly.
Just wanted to share.
@Louise
Bendy… “ALL over the web”? – 183 results … hmmm
… i don’t know about this one – for me anyway – i think ‘Flexible’ is what you really want here… same argument with HG and ‘Choking on hamburgers’ – will SOME people use it (will SOME people choke)? – i mean, i guess(?), but the masses are easily using ‘Flexible’ much, much more… makes much more sense as well… even bendable tv makes more grammatical sense than bendy tv
i do wish you luck with it however… i could see someone coming along and offering you something for it – but i hope when/if that day comes, you are not greedy because i can’t see people fighting over it … and again – i could very well be wrong – and i will be the first to congratulate you when/if you do sell it… so best of luck.
– – – –
i am finished posting here for a while (stop applauding! 🙂 )… i’m sure you’ll all enjoy your time without me and my honesty/opinions… especially you Louise – keep those pom-poms HIGH!
… hope to see some of you on the mountain top – it will be fun to reminisce about this thread when that day comes.
Take care and best of luck to you ALL!!
That’s better. Thank you, @ 3D Tablet, and thank you, @ FUTRS, for saying something positive on “bendy,” and something not negative about “HG.”
I meant, Bendy is all over the news this week.
Do you ever use the Google Trends Tool? Multi screen is another big one of the techs I follow:
http://www.google.com/trends?q=multi+screen&ctab=0&geo=us&geor=all&date=all&sort=0
See on the bottom? That’s the News Reference Volume. Multi screen is increasing, increasing, increasing. Let’s check, 3D:
http://www.google.com/trends?q=3D&ctab=0&geo=us&geor=all&date=all&sort=0
3D is getting big in the news, on the bottom graph. Plus, regular searches are huge these past two years, compared to formerly.
Let’s check, “holo.”
http://www.google.com/trends?q=holo&ctab=0&geo=us&geor=all&date=all&sort=0
Increased regular searches, but not so much in the news.
Let’s check, “hologram:”
Not much activity. From the headlines on the right, “holo” is the winning term.
Let’s check, “HG” (I know it isn’t going to be much!):
http://www.google.com/trends?q=hg&ctab=0&geo=us&geor=all&date=all&sort=0
Out of six news headlines, only one HG may connect to Holographic:
SanDisk and Sony Develop ”Memory Stick Pro-HG” Format
http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20061211005295&newsLang=en
It’s a term used with memory. Don’t tell me that I’m right; I know your culture doesn’t permit it.
Here are two examples of HG used in branding for holographic companies:
HG Technology
http://www.ecvv.com/company/hgtech/index.html
HG Image
http://www.made-in-china.com/showroom/hgimage/companyinfo/Wuhan-Huagong-Image-Technology-Development-Co-Ltd-.html
and Sony is an Asian company, like the two, above. That means, HGPortfolio should contact Asian companies about his domains . . .

Yes, I’m a huge believer in Sentiment Analysis. It’s really just the technological realization of what mankind has always wanted insight into: What are people throughout the world thinking at this moment regarding a particular topic.
As I said on one of my blog posts last December (http://goo.gl/73wrX)…”Where people are (‘Location’), what they’re doing while there (‘Real-Time Activity’), and what they’re thinking at that moment (‘Sentiment’) will become the holy grail for startups and marketers, alike.” And the presentation of that information (via Holograms) and ability to interact with it (Haptics) is the bow on the present.
I had neglected to mention that I’m also a big believer in the new “Proximity” trend — that takes location (and social media) to the next level. If you’re a store owner, you’re thrilled to have the ability to push offers out the door to those walking past your storefront. And as far as dating is concerned…well, you already see the possibilities.
I have not gone to the abbreviation “SA”, but wouldn’t doubt if that starts to emerge.
HoloHaptics.com is a very good branding name – keep it.
Funny coincidence about the “Proximity” trend: hot off today’s NYT:

For…
The longest “comments” thread ever…(because of this thread) 🙂
Anyway,
This is all I could come up…just real quick.
Maybe someone can narrow it down to a category…like…”non social network”
Otherwise…this thread has a was to go 🙂

I cant say too much about what I am going to say, but Im having a really, really, really interesting conversation with a company in Dubai regarding – MobileWalletBlog.com .
All will be revealed soon.

Just typed it in the search engine and found this article –

@ mobilewallets
still dont get the whole wallet thing
but good luck hope you do well from it 🙂
Iain,
Thanks. I know a lot of people dont get it, or see what i see, Im ok with that.
Over 1 year ago Giles Coley said to me “buy Cloud domains mate, it is going to be huge” , I didnt get it and just ignored his advice, bad mistake!!! Im not expecting anyone to listen to my advice but Ive read and heard lots of articles on Mobile Wallets, just like ive read articles on Cloud Computing.
CloudComputing – Domains sell like hot cakes , though the preferred domains are – Cloud+word.com , other popular domains have the full – CloudComputing , in as well.
Now we have an up and coming trend that will be as big as Cloud if not bigger ( in my opinion )
MobileWallet – Domains will also sell , again like the cloud computing domains , MobileWallet ( the full title ) might also be reduced to – Wallet. Now seeing how the cloud domains have gone, every day Im reading articles on – Google Wallet, PayPal Wallet etc and numerous start up companies doing the Mobile Wallet thing.
This being said, people will want advice, comparisons and expert advice on which Wallet to use. If I was thinking about having a Mobile Wallet I would look for advice on the internet, like everything in today’s society people look to the net for advice – phones, insurance, health, teeth, credit cards, banking etc etc…..
I have reg’d the domains I have for people to acquire and start up their own website comparing, advising and helping people who want a Mobile Wallet but do not know which way to turn, for me its a no brainer!
At the end of the day, if it does not work out its ok, Ive not reg’d thousands of domains, only about 100 or so. I know I probably come across as ‘”I know best “and you can have your little “behind the scenes emails” laughing about what Im saying and that’s completely ok.
Im about looking what’s next, and I feel that Mobile Wallets , advice, the lot, will be where its at, if not then all is good!
Hope Ive explained a bit more about my thought process and good luck to anyone researching, predicting future domains and generally having fun doing it.
Cheers guys.
no behind the scenes for me i say up front 🙂
i see where you are going with it all and seeing as you had the foresight to grab something nobody else was looking at just on that alone i do hope you succeed and prosper from your time researching.
enough dirt has been thrown around between domainers and its about time this changed people here do have a chance at making this happen ft domaining is the new breed many scoff many accept but its like natural human reaction to something we dont understand we get scared and kill instinct overtakes rational thought.
my buying domains is over now and i am holding what i feel i may have a chance with if they sell great if they dont then fair enough i gave it a go and a great learning experience.
still looking to shift one or two names to cover some finances but so far response has been awesome one person here still has to pay though for a domain they wanted 🙂
if i reach my target you will miss out i will continue to hold that name myself 🙂
cough cough hint hint
@Iain
Thanks, do appreciate the nice comment.
All I will predict and say on the matter is this –
Cloud.com – Sold for big bucks.
iCloud.com – Sold for big bucks.
—————————————-
Wallet.com – Will sell for big bucks.
iWallet.com – ( My prediction ) will be sold to Apple. Apple have over 200 Million credit card deatials via the iPhone, iTune holders.

“Scorsese said that he expected 3-D to be just the first step in 21st century cinematic storytelling. “If everything moves along and there’s no major catastrophe were headed toward holograms,” he said, adding, “They do it in theater,” citing how an actor might walk into the audience while in character. “You have to think that way. Don’t let the fashion and the economics inhibit you.” (http://goo.gl/L2GeZ )

@ iain, Aww, thanx! You made my day! Whatever happened to BVE North? Did you make it?
When I registered bendy domains, BendyPhone had only been registered three weeks – too bad! Someone just let bendytv.com drop, and mentioned his regret to me on Elliots blog, after I bragged about it! He probably regrets it worse, now. I’ll have to split a percentage to LindaM , because she inspired me with her bendebooks registrations, see emergingdomains.
I let ResistiveRam drop, and Moniker grabbed it. Now RRAM has everything to do with memram and bendy, but – honestly – my taste has changed, and I don’t regret it.

Great names, @ Leigh! I cracked, you cracked, we all cracked! You, me, Lucy, Michael, volts, & Stu between us have the best pool of mobile wallet domain names. I’m starting to build WalletControl so it grabs its slot on Google before copycats invade.

@ Louise and Domain Syrup.
Thanks both. I normally only go for .coms but then insurance and reviews are a given really and I’d prefer to have better names in a cctld than lesser ones in a .com
My take (as MWD.com mentioned in a previous post) is that eventually the term will be shortened to “wallet”, that’ll probably take some time though.

Guys
Take my advice and slow down with the regging. Just grab 5 or 6 average/good names in a niche and focus on selling/developing those. People keep making the mistake pf grabbing anything 3D-related, Holo-related or Mobile wallet related thinking they will be able to sell them all, it wont happen and 90% will be dropping next year, if not, they year after that
Just try and buy a few decent names, not hand-reg names, all the decent ones are gone so try not to settle for a 3rd-rate names because you can get them for $10, rather approach the existing owners looking for a decent name at a decent price. You are far better off paying $200 or $1000 for a decent name or 2, rather than grabbing 10 hand-reggged names you will never sell
I really think brandable names will be your best bet in this niche, names like Mobiwallet or MPay or WavePay are the way to go
Just some advice all, good luck everyone
Occassionally I do hand-reg a name lol
I was surprised this was available…..any thoughts?
With all the different technology & security involved in this field, I thought this would make a great support forum for all the different mobile/digital wallets
WalletSupport.com
@ Giles, WalletSupport is a great compliment to my WalletControl! But Stu has MobileWalletHelp – that’s a basic one for troubleshooting a problem . . .
As to slowing down with the regging, sometimes I wonder if grouping marginal domains with the better ones doesn’t bring down the whole portfolio . . . It kind of makes it look like you don’t know what you’re doing . . .
@ Giles, you said, 3DLedTv.com went for $7500 . . . Do you think my 3DLcdPc.com is worth something like that?

Hey Louise, hope you’re well
Just my opinions here folks
——–But Stu has MobileWalletHelp – that’s a basic one for troubleshooting a problem——–
The problem is, I dont think it will be called “Mobile Wallet” in years to come, it will be reduced to something else, maybe just “wallet”…I like the name but its a little long imo and to me, the word “help” is less professional that “support”. It would certainly be good for a blog or personal wallet forum, but to a company, I think the word “support” is far more appealing
——–As to slowing down with the regging, sometimes I wonder if grouping marginal domains with the better ones doesn’t bring down the whole portfolio——–
It’s always better to have say 5 good names than 30 mediocre names or 100 crappy names, try and focus on a certain area and really try and get the good names in that field. If they are taken, dont think “oh well that’s it, I will find the next best name”…rather email the owner and and when they come back with $250,000 then its time o email the next person who owns a good name. I have found over the years a lot of people might have owned a name for 5-10 years waiting for it to explode and now they are getting tired and impatient of renewing these names and they sometimes sell just at the wrong time, mainly because they aren’t researching the technology like we are and dont know that the tech is just around the corner…
——— Giles, you said, 3DLedTv.com went for $7500 . . . Do you think my 3DLcdPc.com is worth something like that?———-
I think you will struggle to sell it for high x,xxx, I think the owner of 3DLedTv.com and its not common for that kind of name to sell for that figure. I wouldn’t pay $100 for 3DLedTv.com…..
@Stu – Hope you’re well too
————–Nice name mate, you always find a stunner not reg’d, smart mate!——–
Thanks mate, I like the name and think I got a bit lucky as well. I got HoloSupport.com as well.
@Giles
Hi mate, I do think both words – “Mobile Wallet” and “Wallet” will be used, bit like we still use – “Credit Card” and “Cards” , “Bank Account” and “Account” , “MobilePhone” and “Mobile”, also – “Cloud Computing” and “Cloud”.
I do also think every domain has its day, in 5 years will we be searching for – “Credit Cards” ??
In 20 years will we be typing in “Wallet” ?
Wonder what the next form of payment will be after the Mobile Wallet ?
Its all good, I love reading on here different views and peoples opinions.
Cheers
Stu, I don’t think these examples are the best to compare this with
I think they are only used when searching the net, but not in general chat
People will search “bank accounts” when searching the net because of the millions of other types of accounts that exists these days, but in general conversation, most people just say “I checked my account today and I am broke”
Same with “mobile phones”..most people call them cell, mobiles or phones…not both words
I also just say “I paid by card at the restuarant” but if I am searching the net, I use the full term to filter out the 1000’s of pages of sports, greeting and playing cards
Cloud Computing is about as new as Mobile Wallets so people will still use both words until its generally accepted by everyone
I cant wait to pay for my groceries with a retinal scan lol
@Giles
Hi mate, when you said – “I think they are only used when searching the net, but not in general chat”
I am only concerned what people are typing into the net and not general chat, as my domains apply to the net.
I think we should just have chips inside us and when we are stood near checkouts or walk out the doors you beep and payment is sent.
Cheers

http://blogs.computerworld.com/19233/apple_quietly_begins_iphone_as_wallet_in_store_trials
Hi @ Giles, Thanx for thoughtful reply! I wasn’t actually asking opinion on MobileWalletDomains, because the short term is opportunity, as the phrase gets bandied about! A year ago, the news was all about “touch screens.” Now, they are ubiquitous. I don’t think “touch screen” is a big term; even “smartphones” has fallen by the wayside. That’s the nature of future trend, it seems, but there is opportunity in the short term. Even some technologies are hot and die down. PDA – Personal Data Assistant – isn’t such a common term anymore . . .
That said, MWD points out that Citibank owns WalletGuide!
“It’s always better to have say 5 good names than 30 mediocre names”
That goes without saying! I meant, you send someone a list of your 35 domains, 30 mediocre, 5 good, and the mediocre bring the entire list down to the end user. I meant, don’t you think it’s better to send just the five good domains?

——I am only concerned what people are typing into the net and not general chat, as my domains apply to the net.——–
Yeah, but you develop your names, I just sell mine so I prefer the word/term be on everyone’s lips rather than just a highly -searched term.
A lot of my names are brandables, like HoloTech for instance, no-one will type that in Google, but if Holo is used by everyone and is the talk of of all the tech firms, then the name will be in demand
The same applies to CloudCo.com and most of my other sales, its quite hard selling exact product names unless you have a nice strong singular world like Cloud.com
@Louise
I would never send a list of more than 5 domains to an end-user? I agree, stick to the top names you have, maybe 2 0r 3, depends on quality as well though, the best thing is to track down the end-user for an individual domain and just send him that domain, it makes you look a lot more professional
The phrase “mobile wallet” will be around a lot longer than a year, its already been thrown around for around 2 years, and it hasn’t even really started to be developed yet? Most people would have a clue what it means if you ask them. I have tried it and people think you’re crazy
Giles
The “highly searched term” is what makes the domain profitable??
Have to agree to disagree on that one kid.
That being said Ive picked up a few more “Wallet” domains that have dropped –

@Stu
——–The “highly searched term” is what makes the domain profitable———
Stu, this is common sense mate, its not always the case, unless you are developing for your own purposes or can find a buyer who wants it.
I mean I have exact product names like 3DPlayers.com and 3DRecorders.com but certainly wont end up selling those to some electronics firm, as they wont just sell players or recorders on their own, they will sell other products too. The only way I will make money out of these is if I set up my site on it and make money through affilates or clicks, or if I can find some who wants to create an ecommmerce site on the name and do the same
Think about the big sites on the net, none are highly searched terms, most are brandables thatt could be used for just about anything (youtube, facebook, google, yahoo, amazon etc)
Even in the tech/electronics field, all are brandables and not searched terms (Sony, LG, Samsung, Panasonic, microsoft, apple etc)
You are developing yours so thats cool, but to me, brandable names are better off as I am not developing mine
Something like my 3DChannel.com is different becasue that is a service and the perfect keyword match for a startup company offering a 3D channel service
As you say, we will agree to disagree
@ MHB, Nice article! I thought, $1 million is small to invest in 3D printing company, but it’s a software product to design 3D via a browser, like Shapeways.com that lets you buy, make and sell your product online.

I love it! And you have one of those widgets you can spin around which display controllers out there . . . “Controllers” is a big term. It’s up and coming.
Thanks Louise, just had my amazon account approved so playing with all the widgets, making all the content relevant to the page they’re on.
In order to get as many sites up and running (200 idealy) I’ve designed 10 generic logos, so you’ll see over the coming months my 3D sites will all look similar, my Holo sites similar and so on. I’ve essentialy become a production line!
They’re not works of art but It’s just great to se the sites being indexed and increasing for search terms and if they bring in the odd reubel in adsense or amazon then great.
If anyone knows of anyone who can provide good quality cheap content (when I say cheap I mean cheaper than the cheapest ones advertising on namepros!) then please let me know.
My next project will be 3dprintershop.co.uk, I’ll keep you posted.
You can start an account with Textbroker with $25.00, and get several short articles out of it . . . Last month my Noomle site made about $4.50 from Adsense! It is my only Adsense site. If I could set up 200 of those, that would make $900.00. That’s what I should do!
@ Louise.
I’m guessing you put a lot more work into your site than I did in mine though.
That must be quite a heavily searched term to make $4.50.
Most of my names just don’t have the search volume yet unfortunately. I wouldn’t complain about an extra $1000 dollars a month at the moment!
CAUGHT!!!
• HologramChannel.com
🙂
Nice Catch!
I picked up Holochannels.com recently…
@FUTRS
Nice catch – and excellent name.
But I though (?) that you said that the word “Hologram” wasn’t preferrable to “Holo” or “Holographic” — or was that someone else?
Interestingly, ‘Holochanne’l has been trademarked by a company in California. As FUTRS mentioned a few posts ago, TM’s could become a right pain in the ass..
@Futrs
Good luck with HologramChannel.com , I dropped it!
Lots more Hologram and Holographic Domains dropping in the next couple of weeks, keep your eyes open.

@ Leigh said: “Most of my names just don’t have the search volume yet unfortunately. I wouldn’t complain about an extra $1000 dollars a month at the moment!”
You’ll get there! Report back in five – six months. By then, Google indexes you right and the income should be a lot more! So far this month, only 57 cents.

3dprintershop.co.uk
Now up and running.
So I have been touch and go with respect to following domains the last few months. Right now is an season in other ventures and that is where I have been spending most of my time and effort.
Anyway, I have not updated any of my sites for a few months but I am glad to report that (even without updating) 3dDatabase.com has regained its #1 spot for the keywords “3d database” and that the key words “3d database” has settled into the #5 position on Google suggestions for as little text as “3d da”.
Also, 3dDatabase.com has slipped in Alexa rankings in the last few months but has risen on Google Page Rank. I guess there are still people who are looking for 3D websites out there because the success that 3D Database has had in the last few months is not from any effort from me.
Just thought you guys may be interested in that tid-bit.

@ Leigh, good job on 3DPrinterShop. I read some of the articles. I like you keep it basic for the layman. One advantage of Noomle is it is viewable in a mobile device, a smartphone. I am about to compose a big article about that.
@ Leigh, you’ve been working so hard, but I want you to sign up for
sites.google.com
which hosts a site you create for free, template provided. Then you can point your http://www.domain.com to the site . . . and enable it for mobile. I am playing with it:
http://sites.google.com/site/scansmartphone
I think it would show up on mobile, besides the desktop. Plus, you can share it on Google+, add Adsense for mobile really easily . . . add videos.
Then it wouldn’t show that annoying ad the Noomle mobile sites do! That guy is greedy, having to put his ad at the top of all the Noomle mobile sites. It’s like free advertising. I only discovered it, if you test your site on:
http://www.howtogomo.com/en/#gomo-meter
Just start learning it. I’ll be taking my QRReader off Noomle, because of the annoying mobile ad and leave feedback to that effect.
For the mobile site, you resize your logo, that’s all. It should be easy to convert, plus, you’ll get extra SEO juice.
@ Louise. Thanks for the nod to sites.google

Bit of advice guys if anybody knows:
Do sites with little content ie. 1 page, (but no adsense,/affiliate links etc) stand a risk of being de-indexed by google?
Thanks,
Leigh.
@ leigh
not so much de-indexed rather google views content as king more content frequently updated gives you more attention from google original content is what they strive for but even now with all the updates some duplicate sites are still doing well.
some do well some dont only google has the answer i have some that do well and others that do really badly depends on the competiton you are up against no competition means easy first page
just stole a name from GD:
• mCommerceCompanies.com
listed on GoDaddy for $2,000
.

i paid $1
🙂
@ Iain, Thanks mate.
Just trying to determine how much time I shuld spend on my sites which are so “future trend” that nobody searches them…and that just answered my question.
@Leigh
Google can penalize your site if it thinks it is spam. Putting up a single page and then forgetting about it for the next year would likely be interpreted as spam by Google.
It might seem worthless adding the odd article now and again for future tech sites that will only be relevant (profitable) in 5 or 10 years time, but it you are confident in the technology, it will pay off in the end.
For example, my site holo-tv.com I only put an article up now and again (with my own words – not copy and pasting other content), but in 5 years time I’ll probably have far more content than any other holo tv site – and hopefully holo tvs will be close to a reality at that point.
@ HoloTV
Thanks for the heads up.
Just one article a day would mean 3 a year for my sites that are so future tech that I can’t monetise them yet, so I’ll do just that.
Cheers.
@Futrs
Nice domain! I have mCommerceBank.com, that was also for sale on Go-daddy by someone else if I remember rightly, been reg’d since 2000 as well!

Hi, Enjoyed hearing everybody’s answer to @ Leigh’s question as I held back, but now I want to give my 2 cents: original text, plus I retract what I said about switching from Noomle. Your sites are looking really great, and it DOES resolve to mobile, so it has the advantage there. Maybe the ad at the top isn’t such a high price to pay . . . because Noomle has the foresight. Flight-to-Miami.com, page 2 of Google, has lots of nice text articles with original compositions. One page or no, I think it’s the original text that counts. If it doesn’t have ads, it won’t be penalized by Google, but might go down in ranking if it is not updated, as Holo-TV says. BTW, Holo-TV is page 1 of Google. He knows of which he speaks!
@ Louise.
I’m really please with Noomle. It costs me $5 every 2 months to build and host as many sites as you like. The CMS is easy to use, there’s lot’s of support on the forums and great user tools. So I agree, the small logo on mobile sites is a small price to pay.
I got 5 sites uploaded today, I won’t bore you with the details as they are essentialy the same apart from different text but I’m happy with a good days work.
Here are my latest and last mobile wallet Reg’s:
walletvouchers.com
walletvouchers.co.uk
walletcodes.co.uk
walletdeals.co.uk
No, I want to see your sites! Nice regs on the wallet domains! Soon I’ll have competition in the wallet space, because nobody’s building on it, except me! You could post at EmergingDomains, too. The comments on the mobile wallet post are over 100, now.
Yeah, guess I’ll leave QR Reader on Noomle. I would like to see how the website splits out on a smartphone, so I’ll have to borrow my brother’s iPhone. All I see is the list of original article titles which load in the gomo checker.
@ Louise. That’s exactly how it looks on a smartphone, not great, but hey.

@Leigh & Louise
I’m watching this exchange from afar and can’t help but wonder why you don’t just start a Tumblr blog? It’s much quicker and easier to maintain (see mine: http://www.domainjd.com ).
Considering that your goal(s) are to attract some traffic to a(ny) site via a particular name or set of names, you can accomplish the same thing – for free – using Tumblr.
While I would certainly suggest a dedicated site for a site/business that you have big plans for (because migrating away from Tumblr appears to be very complicated), you can really accomplish your goals by doing it the easy way; and you can use a custom domain name.
@ Leigh, that’s great! It’s nice to keep it simple with no Amazon widget and too many distracting ads, so that text can anchor a spot on Google! It’s the text, it’s the text, it’s the text. And each page is worded a little different – good job! The text acts like a hook, and when Google sees fresh text, it’s like, you’re google’s best friend! You’re in. But the code and javascript from too many ads can push plain text down on the source code, so that the crawler has a hard time finding it. That’s why WalletControl ranked right away – text from a simple template the crawler can see. It’s like paper and flame.
@Leigh
Like – WalletVouchers.com
I was not going to reg any .co.uk domains in this area but thought Id just have a go and got these –
WalletForum.co.uk
WalletBlog.co.uk
WalletApps.co.uk
Cheers
@ Louise. Thanks I’ll bear that in mind even when I’m uploading sites to feature ads – maybe give it a week before I place adds on the site to give google time to crawl it.
@WalletDomains.com Nice UK names there. You get 2 years with .co.uk so worth a punt I reckon. Mobile wallet should have fully taken off by then so you should be able to gauge whether they’re worth keeping or not by that stage.
@ WalletDomains.
That is if you haven’t already sold them 😉

P.S. Just been wondering , has anyone reg’d any ” 3DHolo+word ” domains? Just out of interest! I know or at least think that the “3D” will be dropped but Ive been reading a lot of things lately mentioning “3D Holo” and “3D Holographic” in. Would love to know what people have.
Cheers
Picked up a real beauty today:
MobileWalletChains.com
secured DigitalWalletChains.com as well, covering all bases here, folks.
You know how some people (i.e. bikers, punks) often have their wallets attached to their belt loops with a metal chain of some sort. I envision these people will secure their mobile wallet devices in a similar fashion.
@3D is my life, is it yours too
I would have gone for –
WalletChains.com and DigitalChains.com
Cheers.
Hey, which one of you scoundrels registered the fake URL I’d been posting with my name – holothemayo.com.
Nice pick up 🙂
@Louise
Thanks for the compliment.
I actually have three sites on the front page of Google for ‘Holo TV’.
3DHolo-TV.com was top but when I picked up Holo-TV.com a few months ago I decided to focus more on that. It will be on top in a few weeks.
@walletdomains
congratulations on the interest in your names.
I’ve let a good few 3dholo names drop. Just too many holo names to justify renewals, even though all the signs are that holo will be here in 5 years maximum.
@ WalletDomains
Just the 1:
3-DHolographics.com
Back on the 3D front.
Just figured out that the 3D Database site has made the top 3 images on Yahoo Images for the key terms “3D Ultrasound”. Kind of cool considering the lack of attention that I have been showing the site.
I wonder what happen to my top 10 spot for Google images? I guess I have ignored the site for too long to have held onto that.
Just thought you guys would want to know.

@ WalletDomains: “Just been wondering , has anyone reg’d any ” 3DHolo+word ” domains?”
@ Holo-TV said: “3DHolo-TV.com was top but when I picked up Holo-TV.com a few months ago I decided to focus more on that.” There’s your answer! I noticed that 3DHolo-TV, and realized, it’s BuyHolographicTV’s!
@ Holo-TV, Did you vacation in Barcelona or no?
Im fully aware that the “3D” will be dropped but I saw this domain last week and thought I would have a gamble –
3DHOLOTV.COM
Cheers
…..a $12 gamble.
Cheers
@ Gene.
I’ll give Tumblr a look in when I come to design my own site, Cheers.
@Louise
yes, I spent the summer in Barcelona, will be going there again feb/march to escape the winter, and then moving permanently later next year.
I’m also 3dtablet.
It’s difficult to keep track of who’s who on here!
@ HoloTV
A bit off topic but if you haven’t been already you need to check out Jaica in Barcelonetta. They do the best tapas I’ve ever tasted. Cheap as chips too.
I’m very envious of your move!
the 3D market growing seems slower these days, the 3D TV haven’t yet had the success expected, but some 3D-printers companies have received lots of funds from VC
A news article I read…..
——————–iPhone 4S and iPad 2 top UK Christmas wish-lists
Brits will spend a third of their entire Xmas budget on gadget gifts, survey says
Ben Camm-Jones
Apple devices top the Christmas wishlists for Brits this year, with the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S edging out other gadgets such as Amazon’s Kindle.
According to a survey by shopping website VoucherCodes.co.uk, over a third of Brits would like an iPad 2 in their stocking. The iPhone 4S is next on the list and Apple’s iPod nano (fourth generation) also appears on the list in sixth place.
The third most desired gadget is a 3D TV set, with Amazon’s Kindle Fire and Kindle Touch 3D fourth and fifth respectively.
Anyone in the UK who is holding out for a Kindle Fire or Kindle Touch, though, is in for a disappointment, as neither is available outside the US at the moment. Lower down the list, the Xbox Kinect, Samsung Galaxy Tab and BlackBerry Playbook feature.——————-
On The Value Hunt on CNBC, some portfolio manager was talking about 3D Systems as a winning early investment as part of his strategy of investing in small caps with great fundamentals, which profit is on the incline, so I did some research and published it on my blog, linked above. Here is one quote:
The other [smaller-cap stock] is maybe a little bit more sexy, a little bit more interesting. It is more of a technology company, and that is something called 3D Systems (DDD). They can make models from a computer-generated diagram. So if you can conceive of it, you can build this model.
So, think about a car designer. Ford (F), for next year, is trying to come out with a newly-oriented design. They need to make sure that it can be sent to the engineers and then replicated. 3-D is able to do that in an hour’s time…make a model of that car so that it can be sent to the factory for production.

In a word {or two} you are weak for copying someone else’s work then {publishing} it on {your} crappy little site then coming here, to mr. berkens blog and telling everyone to go to {your} site to read the article rather than leaving a link here to the {original source} for everyone to read where the actual work originated.
{disgusting}

@ NotHere, I respect Mr. Berkens! That is why the comment I made is original for this post, and my post on my site is different, outside the quotes. Plus, the post there has a photo and it was too long to post here, so I did everybody a service by posting the long one over there, and doing an original mention over here. I quoted from four or five different publications.
You’re a jerk.
It’s like, I’m allowed to link to all the publications except my own? I composed an original article and linked to it. Deal with it.
I retract about calling you a “jerk,” though you did slander me by saying what I posted is copied, not original. I have enough, and have been given enough, that I don’t need to call my fellow human a jerk, so I’m sorry.
Simple doesn’t mean it’s not original. And reporting on the news and saying your own opinion is valid reporting – Berkens does it! You don’t accuse him of copying! My work stands with the New York Times.
People here are intimidated about the technology they invest in by investing in their domains to write about the technology, just because you’re not a degreed engineer with writing skills. You can write something simple; it’s okay; it’s valid. @ Leigh does it now! @ Gene does it! The companies YOU’RE TRYING TO DO BUSINESS WITH
are going to be SO HAPPY if you actually give them some buzz. I pinged 3D Systems, and let’s see if they get upset over what I wrote. It won’t. It’s free advertising. 3D Systems is going to be thrilled! It invested alot into its website, and it would be thrilled if other blogs refer to its website.
All you 3D printer owners might talk up 3D Systems about affiliate income – it already offers reseller options!
It was for the community here that I composed my article and posted a link. I don’t own a single 3D printer domain – it’s too many technologies to write about, with my current portfolio. And there is no advertising on my site – not an Adsense ad!
So, your accusations are low, and I feel sorry for you like I feel sorry for the “Jesus” who shot at the White House.
Don’t bite Louise.
If they can’t put their name to it then it’s trolling pure and simple.
You don’t need to justify yourself anyway.
If you write on any subject you’re going to need to find the info from somewhere.
Just like you (and just like the people who write the articles we use for resources) I use several sources to generate my original content.
If the trolls delicate sensibilities are so damaged by reading technology articles then I suggests it seeks professional help from a counsellor or the such like.
In a word {or two}, FUTRS, you are just toxic to me, like the the toxins those baboons released into the Gulf of Mexico, so we can go our separate ways.

@ Leigh, thanx for your kind words and taking up for me! Usually, I don’t say anything, but I was accused of copying. Don’t like my work, insult my domains, but if I am slandered, I can take up for myself! Or, go insane! In this world where in one year, 7,999 of the 8,000 babies aborted in India were girls – it’s a form of gender control, really! – I have to take up for myself sometime.
@ Louise.
No worries
Some good news coming from me shortly.
Hmmm…. I should be paying more attention to this forum then I have given it the last few months. With that said, the idea of possible affiliate income from 3D systems is an outstanding idea.
Those who have generic enough 3D names can probably pick up on this as another source to produce income.
I am sure those who decide to pursue it can come up with some extra income from Louises’ idea.
Thank you Louise for handing out a terrific idea.
Cheers
@Louise
I’ve checked out a few of your sites and dig your logos..Clean and modern. Do you do these yourself or do you have a good designer? I’ve got a couple of 3D/AR sites I’m looking to develop and need some logos so I thought I’d bounce it off of you. Thanks
Hi Everyone,
I am pleased to announce my first 3D Domain sale.
The domain was 3DBabyScans.com which I recently bought on the aftermarket.
After a lot of emailing, calling and negotiation it was sold for high $*** to an end user that I contacted directly two weeks back.
I’ve since been waiting for the funds to clear and for two others to drop:
4DBabyScans.com
4DBabyScanning.com
I managed to pick those up Sunday night (my first attempt at catching a dropping name!)
as well as hand reging 3DBabyScanning.com, so I’m now working on finding another buyer.
Very pleased to have got my first sale under my belt, hopefuly the first of many.
Cheers,
Leigh.
@ Jack, xoxo – you’re the most! Thanx!
@ Leigh – Congratulations! You contacted the end user first? You go!
@ TabletComparison, Nice looking site! I like your simple, clean masthead. Email me your info, and I’ll forward it to my artist, louise@.
@Leigh
Congratulations on the sale of 3Dbabyscans.com! That’s really great news.
I’m curious whether anyone’s aware of any (noteworthy) “4D” sales occurring?
It’s probably a bit premature for those, but I’m ready when the market is [4DCoupon.com, 4DCoupons.com, 4DGambling.com, 4Dly.com].
@ Louise. Thanks, yes I contacted the end user.
@ Gene. Thanks.
No 4D sales that I know of.
In terms of baby scans (or ultrasound) they’ve used the 4D to mean the movement of the baby.
3D scans have been around for a while but 4D scans are more recent and the growing term.
In fact I was asked if I had the 4D version several times when contacting end users with the 3Dbabyscans.com….so here’s hoping I can list a noteworthy 4D sale here soon!

After I registered my last domain two days ago
MobileRemoteDeposit.com
I see it is indexed by Google, so it was owned last year, so I did some research.
NetDeposit owned it, which got bought by Bankserv in 2010.
Two other companies have a product with the name, MobileRemoteDeposit:
1. NASA Federal Credit Union Mobile Remote Deposit App
2. Alogent® Mobile Remote Deposit
I have to learn who these people are, to draw up a list of End Users! Who is Alogent? Who is ProfitStars?
Verizon Files Trademark for ‘Hologram’ Stirs Rumors of 3D Smartphone
If Verizon gets the “Hologram” name as a Trademark, does all the “Hologram” names people have been registering go down the pan? Not sure what this means!
Showcasing 4.3-inch 720p 3D smartphone display at FPD, Japan
http://www.gizmowatch.com/entry/showcasing-43-inch-720p-3d-smartphone-display-fpd-japan/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
@WalletDomains.com
“If Verizon gets the “Hologram” name as a Trademark, does all the “Hologram” names people have been registering go down the pan? Not sure what this means!”
Regarding this specific TM filing, they’re only looking for coverage in Int’l Class 9 for a…”Wireless telecommunications device featuring voice, data and image transmission including voice, text and picture messaging, a video and still image camera and access to GPS navigation service over the air and tablet computer.”
Some thoughts:
1) This is an excellent development for ‘hologram’ domainers, because it’s a filing by a monster company that validates their view that the ‘hologram’ brand is valuable, and is worth putting a stake in the ground for.
2) They are likely trying to get a jump on AAPL, who may well use the ‘Hologram Pad’ name for a future version of their iPAD.
3) Definitely look for other firms to jump on the ‘hologram trademark’-filing bandwagon in the next 6 months — because, there are currently ONLY 28 live TMs or TM applications in the USPTO’s database: And also look for VZN to file for this mark in other categories.
4) They recognized that even though the technology, itself, may not be ready for prime time (although perhaps it is, and that’s being kept quite), securing the TM/brand is something that needs to be done proactively.
5) The volume of ‘hologram’-related articles in 2012 is going to be massive, because it’s a topic that people are innately interested in.

This is really exciting news concerning Verizon trademarking Hologram.
Early last year it was reported that Verizon were working on holographic technology, and a senior executive stated his belief that holographic tv would be here as early as 2015.
They also reported that they had been experimenting with sending holographic images of somebody’s head over the internet via fiber optic networks. I assume this refers to experiments conducted with the University of Arizona team that are close to achieving 30 frames per second real time holograms in high resolution.
I wonder if it’s possible that the team at Arizona have made the final breakthrough, and that we might hear an announcement from them in the coming weeks?
I wonder also what impact this will have on what name the public will finally adopt for holo tech (holo, holographic, hologram)? On the one hand, if the first mass market holographic product has ‘hologram’ in the title, then that may be the name that the public use for the technology. On the other hand, if it is trademarked and is used as the name of an actual product (example ‘the hologram’) then it might rule out hologram becoming the generic name (and even leave many of our hologram names valueless).
Hello Mike,
Back in the day,I envisioned Realtors and developers installing Holographic windows for properties with a view. I could not sell the concept to save my life, so I did the next best thing and bought .com leases. Oh well win some lose some.
Seasons greetings Jeff Schneider (Contact Group) (Metal Tiger)
@Holo TV
“I wonder also what impact this will have on what name the public will finally adopt for holo tech (holo, holographic, hologram)? On the one hand, if the first mass market holographic product has ‘hologram’ in the title, then that may be the name that the public use for the technology. On the other hand, if it is trademarked and is used as the name of an actual product (example ‘the hologram’) then it might rule out hologram becoming the generic name (and even leave many of our hologram names valueless).”
I’ve addressed this before here; and while it’s a good question, the answer will be quite specific to the type of product/service launched.
First, if VZN is granted the mark (not a certainty because it will probably be considered either ‘generic’ or ‘descriptive’ by the USPTO – which precludes it from registration), that could block use by others of the ‘Hologram’ brand name for phones and tablets — but not other categories. Before a trademark is granted, the fundamental question the examiner is trying to resolve is whether the federal government is willing to grant someone a monopoly to EXCLUDE OTHERS from using that mark in the particular category of goods/services.
Second, there are VERY FEW, IF ANY products that a mfg. will sell using the phrase ‘Holographic’ in the name. ‘Holographic’ is an adjective, which, by definition, is something that describes a noun, i.e., a thing. So it’s kind of tough to imagine a company launching product (i.e., a thing) called (a) “Holographic Phone”, (b) “Holographic TV”, (c) “Holographic [insert widget name]”.
Third, while ‘Holo’ will probably be used for (some) branding purposes, it’s not a phrase that immediately conjures up in the average person’s mind the concept of a ‘Hologram’. The other problems with it is that it doesn’t pass the ‘radio test’ (‘hollow’). There are currently 46 live TMs/TM applications that use the prefix ‘Holo’ [a list that domainers playing the ‘holo’ game should review to det. threats and opportunities].
Bottom line: VZN chose to plant its first stake in the ‘Hologram’ field because their marketing team knew that that’s the term that most people recognize (vis-a-vis ‘holographic’ and ‘holo’) andcould be best leveraged for technology products.
add the 3d names to the canaryshit.co scrapheap losers
Thanks Gene for the intersting comments. It’s good that somebody here is knowledgeable about trademarks and domain law.
I actually let a few of my limited number of hologram domain names drop only last week. Still have a few good ones – mostly adult related.
I have a question to everybody – I’ve been picking up quite a few names the last year and now I want to transfer some to my main (name/godaddy) accounts before I have to renew them.
Would you advise transfering Moniker names? I know it’s surely a very safe and secure registrar, but some of my names have been registered by crappy little companies ‘under’ Moniker. So I can access them in my Moniker cpanel, but technically they’re registered with a smaller company. I’m just wondering that if the crappy companies themselves go bankrupt, will the names still be safe with Moniker, or should I transfer them to Name.com as a precaution?
@ Futurs. Thanks! No turkey for me as I don’t live in the US but a belated happy thanksgivings to the American contingency on here.
@ Gene. Likewise, thanks for your thorough explanations on TM issues.
Dave, Carla, Michele Van Tilborg, Kori, Rick – I know them by name at Moniker/Snap, and trust them. But I search available registrations at DomainIt, because I trust the owner, Paul Goldstone, but I haven’t set up an account there, yet. You could call during business hours and ask to transfer your domains to Moniker. It has a nice control panel. But don’t search available domains there. Find another source. I think Verisign watches the searches on some Registrars, and snaps up hot topic domains. Network Solutions, Godaddy, Tucows, 1&1, Name – scary companies, in my view. Wouldn’t go near them.

3DAnimatorJobs.com is still up for sale. Great job domain with over 1,500+ exact match searches per month. 3D Animator jobs are popular overseas and in California.
The only 3D domain names I own besides the job domain are 3DPz.com, 3Dpowerzone.com and 3DConsoleSales.com (for sale). Good luck on your 3D domain purchases.
First Demonstration of Inkjet-Printed Graphene Electronics: http://t.co/IyxWSDsQ
@Leigh
sorry.. can’t say i love it – i’m trying to, i swear 🙂
… i think i don’t like the full word (object) combined with the shorter word (bot)
… for me anyway, i think what’s most effective when creating a brandable such as this is to take half of one word and pair it with just half of another word… this doesn’t always work, but i think u can start there.
in the 3d printing world, you will see a lot of ‘Proto’ names (+) next term (short for prototyping) as another example (see ‘ProtoMag’ or ‘ProtoLab’ or ‘ProtoJet’)
I have done something similar with ‘RoboPresence.com’ (Robotic Telepresence)
also consider ‘TeleBot’ in the same fashion (<—i don't own this one)
i'm sure you may find some exceptions, such as the two you are modeling after, but i also think it depends on the words you are working with also…
… Object+WORD doesn't flow smoothly… i think it's the 'ECT' that i dislike… i think a word like 'Object' should finish the term rather then start the term.. i say this primarily based on the pronunciation and the flow of the word itself and how it flows into the next – this individual case.
but that's just my own two cents.
best of luck with it in any event.
🙂
happy to report:
4DProjection.com had its first 200 unique’s day today
… a day after 140 unique’s yesterday
… virtually ALL google
also…
Get3dCable.com is $3 short of $100 this month – mostly in clicks! (high CPC)
3dDvDRentals.com has netted over $70 this month
two biggest income months for both names!
3d sites are paying the renewal tabs
@ Futurs.
I hear you! I had similar concerns over it. You’re right it doesn’t flow that well.
I was torn over whether to reg or not. In the end I just thought with the number of open source projects now springing up and with the right marketing it could be a nice flip, we’ll see.
Congrats on 4DProjection.com and the rest!
why would you delete my post ?
fair enough screw your site
iain
I deleted your comment because you were trying to use comment space on the blog to sell your domains.
We don’t allow these types of comments
Never have in three years.
With nice websites like 4DProjection.com, Get3dCable.com, and
3dDvDRentals.com, it’s no wonder people are reading the content and clicking on ads – good job!
Its a bummer to hear that the ipad 3d may have been derailed. I think if this would have come to fruition it would have helped give 3d some more traction.

Maybe Apple will wait until the 7″ version of its tablet:
Get your sandpaper, UDN says Apple’s prototyping a seven inch iPad
http://9to5mac.com/2011/10/18/manufacturers-send-ipad-mini-samples-to-apple-for-approval
because 3D is easier to view on a small screen.
Update: 4dProjection.com
after passing 200 uniques for the first time the other night, it hit 275 Uniques yesterday
and looking like it will easily surpass 300 Uniques tonight in about an hour or so – if u can believe, this has brought in about $30 in clicks in three days so far – not a world changer but already paid for itself for the next five/six years and to actually witness one of your own featuring something ‘viral’ is always exciting.
Viral?
yes
… If anyone is wondering why the sudden spike in 4d Projection:
Nokia has sponsored the latest 4d Projection in London to promo it’s latest phone: The Lumia 800… it was showcased by DeadMau5 (Pronounced ‘DeadMouse’) – he’s a pretty famous DJ with a cult like following… funny part about it all is … if you actually watch the presentation – there is nothing Nokia related at all – but the projection is UNREAL!! What an AMAZING technology!
for anyone that hasn’t already taken a peak at the site to see the video, i highly recommend checking it out

Though it isn’t a sale, it’s like a triumph: a marketing lady wrote this comment on my site QRReader.org
“Thanks so much for this article! Had a client ask me about it yesterday and your write up is clear, concise and helpful to understanding the concept!”
@ Leigh, @ Holo-TV, @ FUTRS, and I are on the vanguard teaching, promoting, and making simple to the layperson the techs we are investing in. So did @Stu with SolarPhone, but he sold it. Futrs had me fooled – I thought he only was promoting his domains, but his sites bring the tech to the people, so to speak.
Tech is saving the US, therefore the world economy! It’s been banner end-of-year shopping, with the likes of electronics and games appealing to the masses, including tablets, tvs, and smartphones.
That’s why I say, we’re on the vanguard breaking down the tech to include people who might otherwise feel intimidated.
Louise, I hadn’t heard about the possibility about a 7″ ipad but that would be nice if it’s true. I actually don’t think Apple would go down that route though since the competition in the 7″ space is so great and they already have the 10″ market pretty much locked down
I heard it wants to jump the low-priced tablet bandwagon. Can’t blame it, for not wanting to profit from that stream.
On the positive news front:

http://domainfest.com/DOMAINfestGlobal2012/auctions
but I was able to still submit one on December 4th: QuadTelevision.com at $1000.00.
It might be a good opportunity for any future trend which is highlighted at CES 2012 is January 10-13 to have an exact match domain in the auction . . .
Still not convinced that this “hologram” trademark will not affect our domains, a few have been on sale via go-daddy expiring auctions recently but I did not touch them because its too risky in my opinion –
HologramStore.com
HologramShop.com
HologramFilm.com
All have expired or been dropped because of this trademark I reckon.
It’s a dictionary word – I don’t think it will pass muster!
hologram [ˈhɒləˌgræm]
n
(Physics / General Physics) a photographic record produced by illuminating the object with coherent light (as from a laser) and, without using lenses, exposing a film to light reflected from this object and to a direct beam of coherent light. When interference patterns on the film are illuminated by the coherent light a three-dimensional image is produced

In the Verizon situation, they’ve filed for the ‘Hologram’ mark in Class 9 for: “Wireless telecommunications device featuring voice, data and image transmission including voice, text and picture messaging, a video and still image camera and access to GPS navigation service over the air and tablet computer.”
They aren’t trying to usurp the entire world of goods/services, or assert rights against anyone who uses the ‘Hologram’ mark OUTSIDE OF “…wireless telecommunications device(s)….” – at least not now.
But if they are granted the TM, and/or actually use it in conjunction with a particular good/service (…in THAT category), then they could try and expand the scope of their rights to cover other products/services under the theory known as ‘Secondary Meaning.’ This is the theory that legally protects well-known marks from being (potentially) diluted through other uses, e.g., such as if someone decided to brand their electrical supplies ‘Coca Cola Supplies’.
Anyway, for all we know, they are just registering the mark for defensive purposes, so that no one else can claim priority rights against them when (…not IF) hologram phones and tablets come onto the market, which they will.
If you can afford them, I think you should go for it!
@ Gene said: “They aren’t trying to usurp the entire world of goods/services, or assert rights against anyone who uses the ‘Hologram’ mark OUTSIDE OF “…wireless telecommunications device(s)”
Wireless telecommunications device(s) IS “the entire world.” Very cheeky of Verizon to try to get a trademark on that! Very cheeky! It’s not going to stick.
@Stu
i don’t know what you’re looking at – none of those names have been dropped or expired – they probably never will be either – at least HologramShop and HologramStore – been registered since 1999 – both by the same owner as well – doubt they ever will be dropped…. i also can’t find a trail of them in any auction house… if you can provide me a link or two i would gladly take the chance on these two names
HologramFilm?… not that great a name imo… maybe that’s me here in the states – we don’t generally use the term ‘film(s)’ to reference movies.
also..
… i don’t think anyone is going to start dropping hologram names simply because some company “applied’ for a tm… applied does not mean ‘approved’ and like Gene mentioned, i believe this is more for intellectual property than the use of the word.
but if you have any more hologram names you are willing to let fall into my lap, i’m more than happy to take them off your hands 🙂
just nailed insuremycloud.com
Thoughts?
btw
with all the love being given to 4dProjection – to really secure this niche, i have also added
4dMapping.com

Hey all
Even if the trademark goes through, if you owned the domains before the trademark was applied for, you will be ok anyway
The fact that it is a dictionary word doesn’t really matter, there are plenty of TM’d dictionary words (eg Apple)
@Giles
Apple isn’t a trademark for ‘Apples’ – this is not the same argument
‘Apple’ is technically a brandable in this case.
@FUTRS
Thats correct, but before it was trademark, it was just a normal dictionary word, just like Hologram is?
No-one would have looked at the word “Apple” as a brandable before Apple Inc came along, people just saw it as a fruit
Hologram/Holo etc can possibly be trademarked and then you could also call it a “brandable” in the same sense
I don’t think it will go through by the way, my point is that just because its a dictionary word, doesn’t make it “out of bounds” for trademark purposes
Giles Don’t forget the Beatles had Apple first
True, but their TM was Apple Corps and this is Apple Computers
Your average person in the street doesn’t even know this and lawsuits and internet law has changed a lot since then, companies are very quick to protect their TM now
Its not like TM domains/website were any issue in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s anyway.
but you’re missing the point –
and unless i’m wrong – there’s not an Apple Company – that actually grows and distributes “APPLES” – with an APPLE tm
nor is there a sneaker company that i am aware of that has tm’ed the word ‘Sneakers’
etc..etc..
i think that’s the point
i can’t see a hologram company tm’ing Holograms
.. or a tv manufacturer tm’ing TV’s
that’s the difference
at the same time
.. i can properly and legally ‘brand’ and use the word “McDonalds” to sell houses or insurance without worrying about any tm issue’s
that was actually a poor example (haha)
i meant to use a generic keyword – sorry
let me re-phrase that:
“i can properly and legally ‘brand’ and use the word “Shoe” to sell houses or …insurance – without worrying about any tm issue’s”

Surprisingly 231 of the hits have come from canada, specifically through Bing and Yahoo, so I assume both are popular SE’s in Canada.
Interesting article on 3D
3D Entertainment Industry to End 2011 on High
Dec 07, 2011
2011 has been a year of head scratching and worrying times for the 3D entertainment industry. Sales of 3D TV sets have being sluggish; the popularity of 3D movies has declined and there have been surprises all round that 3D gaming has not proven to be as popular as expected. However, there have been a series of positive headlines recently suggesting the industry can end 2011 with an optimistic outlook for 2012.
Despite endless reports in the mainstream media claiming 3D cinema is over, highlighting the decline in 3D box office sales, the last few months has seen a reverse in the downturn. 2D to 3D conversion has dramatically improved and big name directors are starting to leverage 3D film-making in ever increasingly powerful ways. Although the ratio between 2D and 3D ticket sales has indeed narrowed since the post Avatar honeymoon, 3D versions of movies are still performing better than their 2D equivalents, surprising when considering the spat of poor conversions released to an ever increasingly wary public.
In 2010, 25 3D films were released. By the end of this year 39 3D films will have been released.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon, directed by Michael Bay (originally a 3D cynic) re-captured some of the box office success of Avatar 3D. Half converted, half native, Bay’s futuristic 3D sequel claimed an approximate 70/30 ratio of box office sales in 3D’s favour. Bay even went on a personal mission to persuade cinema exhibitors to increase the brightness of their projectors (to save costs, cinema exhibitors often reduce the luminance of the projectors. Many movie goers have complained about the dim viewing experience of watching a 3D movie thanks to the glasses so low luminance can be even more of a problem for 3D).
More recently, Martin Scorsese’s Hugo has been described by many as the best 3D movie ever produced. Audiences have responded well to the Taxi director’s use of the 3D format which breaks away from the Cameron’s convention of using the screen as a window to a new world (positive parallax).
The opening tracking shot, which plunges from the Parisian sky along the railroad platforms and finally to the station clock, sets the precedent for a well-considered 3D movie that few would deny, is better than the 2D version.
“I think what Marty’s done is push 3D around a corner and given a gimmick a huge amount of heart and potential,” said Sir Ben Kingsley, one of the film’s stars.
Before the release of Hugo, Steven Spielberg’s motion capture 3D film The Adventures of TinTin was also praised for its intelligent deployment of 3D. It performed very strongly in Europe and is expected to replicate the success in North America when it is released on December 21st.
Films like Hugo, TinTin and Transformers 3 mark the start of a string of high profile 3D movies to launch next year by established directors. Ridley Scott’s Prometheus will open in June 2012 and is expected to follow in Scorsese’s footsteps by pushing the possibilities of 3D filmmaking. The Alien director has even echoed James Cameron saying he will never shoot in 2D again.
Other 3D films to be released in 2012 expected to attract a lot of attention include Disney’s John Carter 3D (March), Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit (released December 2012), James Cameron’s Avatar 2 (December) Baz Luhrman’s The Great Gatsby 3D (December) and Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man (July). A 40 minute preview of Andrew Adamson’s up-coming Cirque Du Soleil movie was presented by Vince Pace and James Cameron during IBC in Amsterdam and simply wowed audiences, even the 3D cynics.
UK cinema chain Cineworld has recently seen its share price increase thanks to an expected growth in 3D film admissions. Talking about Evolution Securities buy note on Cineworld, Evolution analyst Nigel Parson said “We expect 3D admissions to remain stable at around 20%-25% of admissions but these admissions yield a 30% ticket premium. Good business.”
His comment about such low yields may surprise people but if 3D films can generate a return on investment at such low ratios then this has can only be good news.
2012 could also be the year of the back catalogue 2D to 3D conversion re-release thanks to the massive success of this year’s converted The Lion King 3D. Movie classics such as Top Gun, Titanic, Star Wars, Finding Nemo and possibly Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park and Inception are all set to be given a 3D makeover. No doubt the industry will be watching audience reaction nervously, hoping the disastrous conversion flurry post Avatar is not repeated.
So does 3D in the home have an equally bright future? Well there has been recent positive 3D news here too. Consultancy firm Futuresource recently published a report suggesting that half of UK homes will own a 3D TV set by 2015 – higher than previous forecasts. However, the Futuresource report also acknowledged that 3D TVs will be purchased mainly by default rather than as part of a conscious decision to ‘go 3D’.
In the same report, the consultancy states that as of now, there are approximately 55 3D channels and demo channels and at least another 35 VoD (Video on demand) services offering 3D movie content. Futuresource Consulting’s Market Analyst, Fiona Hoy, expects that to rise by 15-20 channels and/or 3D VoD service. China’s State Administration of Radio, Film & Television had previously called for 10 3D channels to be launched in the People’s Republic by 2015.
Thanks to oversupply, prices for 3D TV sets have reached an all-time low with one able to pick up a 3D TV for less than £500.
3D technology has improved too. Traditionally expensive, passive 3D TV sets have plummeted in price, thanks in part to film-patterned retarder technology introduced to the market by LG. Consumers no longer need to spend £50 for each pair of 3D glasses as the new passive 3D TV sets often include several pairs of cheap, flicker free lightweight 3D glasses allowing for families and friends to enjoy 3D programming together. Passive 3D TV sets more closely replicate the 3D cinema experience without the flicker artefact of active 3D TV systems (discouraging many to buy) although current passive 3D technology halves the on-screen resolution. However, next year may see the launch of full resolution passive displays starting with computer monitors, which will deliver the next quality level of 3D (although initial prices are expected to be high).
The active 3D TV industry has also got its act together as Panasonic, XpanD, Sony and Samsung have joined forces to launch a universal 3D full HD active glasses standard meaning XPanD active 3D glasses will be compatible with each manufacturer’s 3D displays. The ‘Full HD 3D Glasses Initiative’ was released in September 2011. Universal glasses with the new IR / RF protocols will be made available in 2012, and are targeted to be backward compatible with 2011 3D active TVs.
Talking of standards, The DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting body) recently allied with the 3D@Home Consortium to encourage the development of standards for 3D TV. The move will also ensure that knowledge about 3D viewing is shared and that the bodies’ work is complementary, further facilitating the growth of 3D television innovation throughout 2012 and beyond.
3D content may still be thin on the ground but things are improving fast. 3D lifestyle channel HIGH TV 3D has expanded rapidly since its launch in April this year when it signed a 4 million Euro with Korea Telecom along with its sister channel FASHION ONE. In October, HIGH TV 3D launched in Norway on the CANAL DIGITAL platform and before that, HIGH TV 3D launched on cable television operator UPC in Romania. It recently also launched in Denmark.
In the UK, Sky 3D is firmly committed to the format, pushing more money into original 3D programming. Over the next few months, the UK’s only 3D channel will premier quality 3D productions such as Kew 3D, Bachelor King 3D, Beautiful Freaks 3D, Safari 3D and The Secret Life of the Rainforest 3D. London based distributor Off the Fence, has just closed its first 3D deal with Universal Full Band Media for its new 3D channel in China where two 3D channels will launch in January alone. Other distribution companies continue to achieve success with their growing 3D libraries including Electric Sky, Global Media Consult and LOG MEDIA.
The London 2012 Olympics will be captured and broadcast live around the globe in in 3D. The Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) are capturing the event in 3D due to the requests of the broadcast rights holders rather than as an option that ‘might be picked up’ by the rights holders. In September, OBS Chief Executive Manolo Romero told 3D Focus he was surprised at how high the level of demand was.
Following on from the 3D coverage of the 125th Wimbledon Tennis Championships this year, Sony has committed to produce 3D coverage of the world famous tennis championships on a greater scale for at least the next three years.
On December 17th, the BBC will be broadcasting the finals of mega hit Strictly Come Dancing in 3D on its dedicated BBC HD channel and a network of digital cinemas. The BBC’s commercial arm, BBC Worldwide, will be releasing three multi-million pound budget 3D productions in association with Evergreen Films, Reliance Pictures and CAMERON | PACE Group. Walking with Dinosaurs 3D will be distributed around the globe next year followed by Africa 3D and Life.
Even ITV Studios will be venturing into 3D production with a stereoscopic version of its hit series, River Monsters 3D. France Telecom’s Orange TV have just increased their 3D offering with a distribution deal with My Zen TV and CAMERON | PACE Group are planning to launch a UK office to increase their market share in Europe, especially in 3D live sports capture. 3net, having revamped its consumer website and on-screen presentation, has significantly increased its output, airing 50 hours of original S3D content in December alone.
Despite persistent negative headlines about disappointing sales figures for the Nintendo 3DS (perhaps due to unrealistic sales forecasts), games industry trade website MVC yesterday reported that the glasses free 3D console is almost sold out in the UK.
With Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 both in the UK top ten, it seems that 3DS is proving very popular contrary to popular belief. It is also selling well in Japan although research has found that owners rarely use the 3D functionality after the first few weeks. However, what it does mean is that, in addition to the growing network of 3D TVs, there is a growing base of 3D capable displays in people’s homes capable of both 3D gaming and video playback. Today, Nintendo launched their software update to enable 3D video recording functionality.
3D technology is also set to improve throughout 2012. Digital 3D cinemas will exhibit more 3D presentations at higher frame rates, removing the annoying flicker inherent with 3D presentation. Avatar 2 and The Hobbit are two films being filmed at 48 frames per second. As the flicker issue is addressed in 2012, so will be the issue of dim images caused by 3D glasses. Real D has enjoyed success with its XLW Cinema System. The projection combination is capable of delivering up to 12 foot-lamberts of brightness, approximately 3 times the brightness of most commercial multiplexes.
For a brighter 3D experience at home, the new NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 glasses and the compatible Asus VG278H flat panel with LightBoost-certified desktop display are the “best 3D solutions for gamers on the market” according to T3 magazine. LightBoost technology makes the screen twice as bright as the original version. Gamers have often complained how the darkness of the screen can reduce the immersive experience of 3D gaming.
Whether 3D phones will be popular is anybody’s guess. This year saw the launch of the LG Optimus 3D which has not been the success expected by the Korean giant although Jon Peddie Research says 80 percent of smartphones will boast not just 3D screens, but 3D cameras in the next four years. Consumer 3D capture devices have got cheaper and cheaper. A range of 3D consumer camcorders have become available recently starting from as little as $100! Improvements have been made in glasses free 3D technology with companies like Toshiba and LG launching monitors that can track the viewer’s eyes to solve the sweet spot limitations of autostereo technology and SpatialView recently launched a low cost device to convert the iPhone 4 into a glasses free 3D handset. The company will also soon be launching the 3DeeScreen which will convert compatible laptops into glasses free 3D.
Finally, more good 3D news emerged yesterday as new evidence from The German University of Munich and the Austrian University of Salzburg suggests watching 3D TV does not increase the chance of triggering epileptic seizures.
So after a very difficult year for the 3D industry, 2011 is drawing to a close with some positive indicators that 3D may be around for the long haul this time. Many will hope 2012 will be a year that will deliver more answers than more questions.
While the recent positive news will be a welcome boost to the industry, it is important to stay realistic. Outside of the movie theatres, there is no proof that consumers will pay for or even want 3D entertainment in the home or on the move. 3D TV sales might be growing but that is not to say people will use the 3D functionality. As mentioned before, despite strong Nintendo 3DS sales, owners genuinely prefer to switch the 3D mode off so it is important to welcome the recent news with caution.
The 3D entertainment industry still has a high mountain to climb before the technology is embraced by the mainstream but at least the horizon is looking brighter than it did just a few months ago!

thnx
@Louise thanks a lot for the advice about the registrars. I’ve been away for a couple of weeks.
@Futurs & Andrew
I have to agree with Andrew that 85% of your names aren’t very good. I’m not particularly knocking you, though, because some of your names are extremely good.
I would suggest doing more to highlight the good names because currently they are just lost amongst all the garbage names.
I know that ‘casting your net wide’ is normally a good strategy, but it seems obvious that the majority of your names are really never going to sell and they must be costing you a fortune in renewals. Just seems a shame that you do have some very good names, but in the end, whatever sales you make from those good names will probably only cover the massive renewal fees for the garbage ones.
@ WalletDomains, I looked up HandheldConsoles on GAKT, and didn’t see many searches, so I wasn’t enthused, and decided to keep quiet. But look at the Popular Video of:

I see on the previous page there is some talk about the following domains –
HologramShop.com
HologramStore.com
A few people mentioned TM issues on these names.
TM = Trade + Mark.
Trade is what product or service you offer.
Mark is the name you do it under.
“Hologram” is a generic dictionary word with a defined use.
A term like “Hologram” could be TMed for a non generic use, but the generic use is fair game.
Just like “Candies” is a line of shoes but also has a generic usage.
A TM for the generic term is not enforceable.
Also, the domains were not pending deletes.
They were pre-release auctions.

Toshiba 55X3 4K 3DTV launches December 10th in Japan, no glasses necessary
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/07/toshiba-55×3-4k-3dtv-launches-december-10th-in-japan-no-glasses
@Andrew, @ Anthony
Thank you for the good and bad feedback – would love to know what you consider good and bad, however… i am open to discussing the good and the bad of my portfolio, however, i would prefer to do it in a more closed format if at all possible.
in regards to my 3d names…
… 3d was my catalyst into domaining so i can never regret any names i regged over the time i was learning – shit, i’m still learning – but in all honesty, i have about 100+ 3d names pegged for drops this upcoming year (not because of you guys, or course).. part of the learning curve, i guess – i’m sure we’ve all done it.. yourselves included… but my total 3d collection will drop to about 60 names once all the smoke clears.
… but if you look at DomainNames3d.com – you will see a checklist of names that have been sold since i started doing this and i’m sure you would have never thought those names were good either… did you see $2,800 alone coming from 3d/wedding/photograph(y)(er)(ers)?.. probably not, so your opinion’s, while i welcome them, only go so far…
are there some ‘gambles’ in there?.. absolutely – but there r some really nice names in there as well, and those names will fix a lot of mistakes… like i said, i’m always learning and looking to evolve, which i think i have since i started, so it’s ok with me… i’ve actually made more money than i’ve spent to this point, if u can believe that… and i haven’t even touched any of my good to great names yet…so in the end, i’ll b ok 🙂
again, would love to hear from you both personally… not to argue, but to find out what is perceived as ‘garbage’ and why … there r a few people i do this with regularly who are good to great domainers and i respect their opinions greatly.. see Giles… see Brad… see Stephen Douglas… there r others, but u should all know these guys… i ask them a lot of questions and value their opinions, so if you don’t mind discussing the why’s and what’s, i would love to hear… i’m always very easy to find.
if not.. o well.. i tried.

@futrs
It doesn’t surprise me at all that 3dWeddingPhotograph/er/y.com were the names that sold. They are exact match coms for huge potential keyword phrases that are already getting search traffic.
You could have built affiliate sites on those names and earned a couple of grand over the next 5 years and then sold them for $50,000 (don’t get me wrong, I would have accepted the offers that you did).
Most of your names aren’t like that. (i-3dtv.com, for example).
I know it’s unfair that you appear to be being singled out for criticism when (I think) you are the only one here to have sold 3D names, but you have a few names that are potentially even much better than the ones you sold, and yet they are hidden amongst quite a few genuinely bad names.
Guess what, guys? I’m in the top five of Fantasy Domaining leaderboard – yay! The contest is to be able to figure out the top 25 money earners of a list of 1000 . . . DomainFest.com/fantasy I was on the leaderboard last year, too, #7, I think.
@ Holo-TV, it’s great to get your opinions on domains here on this thread . . . What do you think of QuadTelevision.com, which I submit to DomainFest? It’s supposed to become a hot topic at CES 2012, when some quad res tvs get unveiled, as well as 4K. @ Futrs has the premium 4K domains!

VERY happy with this one – hyphen or not
also, i think the hyphen is grammatically correct

Thanks for the tip on the GD code (used it).
Those hand reg’s are really good ones. I’m a huge fan of “haptic(s)” in names, and Graphene is where it’s all going it seems…see:

i really liked the idea of Graphene360 mostly because Graphene seems to be being implemented into everything… 360 should really be able to encompass the gazillion uses pretty well.

I haven’t really heard much on the ‘Geo-Fencing’ name…
… wondering if many people are not exactly too aware of this technology or just don’t like the name itself (or the hyphen?)… regardless, it IS a technology all to itself.
Geo Fencing is not exactly new – but with phones and tablets being as powerful as they are now, the WAY it’s being used now IS new.
I’m sure many of you already know about the open air malls that use this technology – offering you special deals and coupons just for passing by the store..etc… but there is more to it than just that…
some other uses being considered are turning on your heat or air once you enter a specific radius of your home… alerting a friend or family member when you are within a proximity… yes, cool but not exactly ‘new’
BUT…
… this video i’m about to post is something that really makes you wonder what more can possibly be done using Geo Fencing.. conceptually? – this is pure GENIUS!!
… this artist put together an album… in the form of an App for your phone/tablet… and he created a musical score to be played once inside this Geographical Fence… BUT.. once you actually enter into different ‘zones’, the score changes to fit the scenery…. the video itself is kind of slow moving and not exactly too informational, but the CONCEPT itself ?… Amazing!!
If you have the time, i highly advise checking this out, just for the idea itself… truly revolutionary
just IMAGINE what this could do for other forms of entertainment – think ‘Choose Your Own Adventure Movies’… or ‘Midnight Madness’… maybe even ‘Treasure Hunts’… SO much fun this could be!
Let me know what you think – and what other idea’s you can think of from this
@ Gene I particularly like the language translation…must be some sentiment analysis processing going on there I think!
@ Futrs. That’s just a band gigging, can you repost the link please.

I wish I had the time to keep up on all this, unfortunately I can only check what it going on every week or so.
I have to disagree with Anthony (somewhat), the term Bendy is a great branding name and as the technology expands, you could very well be in the forefront.
Bendable, Flexible, or Flexy would be other great branding names.
I am a little surprised at 3D.com only getting $500k. That is the prized name in the 3D collection of domain names, however that does leave it open for the next tier names to be well into the $XX,XXX range (in my never humble opinion).
There are a few of us who own such names that post here. I am looking forward to one day reading about the small fortunes made from these names.
Keep up the good fight.
All the best
Cheers
@ Jack I agree with your post 3D is going to be huge and very soon. 3D.com was way under sold Sedo is weak they blew it. But now the game is on to beat that figure. The new 4K 3D computers and TVs are going to break this wide open, And guess what Glasses Free. We are going to set up a site for 3DMammogram.org in the next few weeks with click throughs to all the providers of this FDA approved procedure. As far as Bendy that Samsung device looks killer, Thanks to Louise we regged mybendy.com and bendytab.com hey 15 bucks its worth shot.
@ Jack, Nice to hear from you! How ya doin? Thank you for saying something nice about my domain.
@ DMPartners, Nice to hear from you! In the LATimes today, TrueCar.com makes $100,000,000/yr referring customers ($299 for new car; $399.00 for used car per customer) and has some 50 employees. It’s small. 3DMammogram could be like that! Time has shown, it’s a great domain.
I’m setting up QRReader.org for mobile. The homepage just got indexed today, after I switched hosts. So, you’re thanking me for “bendy,” but howcome you didn’t register PhoneBeaming after I mentioned it? It didn’t stay available for the day.

RE: QR Reader
sorry to be so critical all the time…
… but qr codes and qr readers are both free
.. not to mention somewhat silly
(by the time you take your phone out, open your qr reader, scan the damn thing – 10 minutes later u access the link…) so many articles written about the hassle of qr codes then the supposed convenience of them
plus qr ‘readers’ are already starting to be implemented into the newer phones, reducing the need for any 3rd party apps…
… so my question, respectfully so and without haste, why would someone want to buy this name?
… and if not, how do you plan to monetize something like this?
in essence, this is no different than TINY URL, or X/co
.. do you plan on placing a ‘donate’ button on the site?

You need slapping down, but that was actually funny what you said – lol! 😀
You know what? I can’t go into a long explanation. I composed a definition of QR code on the site, QR Reader .org. The term, “QR Reader” gets:
[qr reader] Low 14,800 4,400 $2.20
I can’t even answer you – I’ve got to make hay! Domainers’ dismissiveness is my advantage!

Toyota Taps into QR Codes and Augmented Reality
http://finchannel.com/Main_News/Markets/100262_Toyota_Taps_into_QR_Codes_and_Augmented_Reality
@Louise:
u r right – “u CAN’T” answer me
please notice the word ‘LOW’ in your last post where you show your search results – as in “LOW competition” – meaning no one is fighting for this word or any kind of placmeent for this string
also notice when you go to google and type in QR READER – there r no sponsored ads – and more than likely, nor will there be
go even another step further and actually click on the top ten links on google for the term qr reader and you see nothing but free generators, wikipedia and maybe a couple of articles that have referenced qr reader…
your qr reader org page is certainly not bringing in any money with not a single ad on it or a way to earn back a single penny of your initial $7 – so i guess your plan is… what?… that someone will be looking to buy your name? – a tech name in a dot org no less.?
.. this not exactly a ‘service’ one offers – nor is ever a fee to download and install a free qr reader… don’t forget – your name is QR READER – NOT QR generator or QR TAGS… still don’t understand the plan here or the excitement.
don’t mean to ‘slap ya back’ so hard, but maybe i can become a better domainer by seeing what you see and understanding WHY someone would want to buy this name or how you can possibly “monetize” this name.
there’s much MORE than just search results that determine a name with value.
…ESPECIALLY when the competition is LOW
… oh yeah
… Bye Now
🙂
“LOW competition” For SEO, that is music to my ears! Here is my opportunity! You other domain investors won’t build out – I’LL build out! And rank page 1!
When I finish the site and rank well, that is when I will review my options to monetize the thing. it’s not even finished, yet.
When I registered it, it’s like a throwaway, I am not big into QR. Since then, I realized it is more premium than I thought!
c’mon Louise…. it’s Real Easy to rank number one when not a soul out of 15,000 people even WANT to be number one for that string.
Low Competition on a string that is ‘a Future Trend’ is NOT the same thing as low competition on a string that has 15,000 global searches… what that means is exactly what i just said – no one WANTS to be there – no one cares enough about even TRYING to be there… and that’s kind of the point… it’s not worth the trouble.
you say ‘build out’… right.. what plans do you have to actually ‘build this out’ Louise? more articles? more information?
BUILD OUT does not mean talk or ‘blog’ about other people’s articles… that’s a borderline scraper site…. Build Out what?? .. are you going to give QR READERS away for FREE?…
that’s again the POINT
WHAT can u do here?
WHERE’S the money potential?
and even if you DID build it out – where’s the money potential to a prospective buyer – WHY would they want to buy this name if there is no real way to make money off of it?… sure, there’s a $2 CPC but no one is actually advertising on google to PAY $2 a click..
Maybe this is part of my own evolution.
if you ask me, you should have stuck with your first instinct.
“NotHereToSelflesslyPromoteMyCrappyNames” was you, then, accusing me of copying other people’s work. I’m not you and you’re not me, and your way isn’t my way, but I don’t plagiarize anybody. Incredible! When I told you about Domaining and the opportunity to link there, and I post good news about 4K and say good things about your domains.
It’s like you CAN’T STAND I get a minimal amount of respect here, when I’m a girl. I took you off EmergingDomains, so I don’t have to feel bad about it anymore.
You’re trying to worm info out of me you’ll copy and never credit me for, or thank me.
Anyway, I answered you, I keep trying to have a positive view, to share something valuable, to pass something along. You dump on it. Incredible!
FUTRS said: “Maybe this is part of my own evolution.
if you ask me, you should have stuck with your first instinct.”
Okay, you had your say; you said your piece. You’re entitled to your [sorry] opinion. You know what? I’m humble. I’m just going with a gut instinct, and that’s something women have better: intuition, than men. Sometimes we just can’t explain.
I’m sorry. I went for a walk; I took my medication. I feel better, now.
I’m cwazy…
Aw… c’mon Louise
.. all because i questioned one of your names?.. please now… how ridiculous is that? Is that really what you’re made of? Because i don’t pom pom your pom pom u get all NUTS?!
(haha)
and sorry to ruin your big moment of epiphany, but the poster you think was me, is not… you should know by now that i speak my mind – for better or worse… WHY would i post under a psuedo name when i regularly tell you my honest thoughts that you never seem to like??
think about that for a minute… this is not the first time i have questioned you or another poster about a name or two… i was just blasted last week, told to dump a ton of names because they didn’t like them – the sun came up the next day
… i genuinely just wanted to make sense of what you see in this name/niche and how you see it being valuable – or even worth the time putting time into it because i can’t see it… you want respect – earn it – prove me wrong.
also.. what could i POSSIBLY be trying to ‘worm’ out of you?… your big QR secrets?… hahaha.. that’s definitely laughable… dual screen info?… bendy info?… please… NOT interested in any of those by a longshot, that’s for sure.
in any event… remove me all u want from your site(s)… it’s fine (and very unnecessary), but somehow, i think i’ll survive.
best of luck to you chasing those low comp names
**btw.. that whole ‘intuition’ thing about women and guts… omg… simply CLASSIC!!
thanks for the laugh!
haha

@3dtabletpc There are no ‘3d capable’ tablets out yet. They might be able to feed 3D content to a 3D TV, or even record 3D, but that’s not what most people mean by a 3D tablet (i.e. play 3D content themselves).
I’m number 1 on Google for ‘3d tablet’ and could have made a lot of money already from my blog if I lied and promoted the LG ‘3D’ Slate as a 3D tablet – you’ll notice that I make clear that it’s not really 3D. That’s probably cost me perhaps up to $1,000 for telling the truth, but honesty has a habit of paying off in the long run.
@all
I’m really sore that I missed out on the Graphene domain rush, but I was surprised to be able to handreg GrapheneComputer.com and GrapheneDisplay.net the other day.
@ FUTRS, check your tone! The nature of future or emerging trend is, we can’t predict EXACTLY where it’s going to go. You pronounce qrreaders worthless.
It’s hard to develop a high tech, bleeding edge site. It’s intense work, to put your mind to a new tech I know little about to try to break it down for the layperson.
So I visit theDomains to escape.
3D, holo, telepresence, 4K, quad – they’re too hard for me to learn about, so I didn’t register them, so I don’t have to develop them. But I enjoy what other people are enthused about.
But you’re saying about QRReader.org, “It’s worthless; it’s worthless; it’s worthless.”
I try to be positive and do positive for the domain community. BTW, you bragged DomainNames3D got to PR 3, but didn’t credit me that I suggested you take advantage about Francois’ offer to link at no charge. Sorry if I lashed out, but there is a category of man who craps all over a woman and feels entitled, so I had to express myself.
Ask anybody here if 15,000 EXACT searches per month is anything to sneeze at . . . How can you dispute it’s not worth at least a try? Maybe you’re right; it won’t go anyplace, but how can you argue it’s not worth at least a try to capture those visitors?
So far, QRReader.org’s searches include:
ads with qr scan
qr code prevalence
qrreader
qrreader.com
http://www.qrreder
qr reader age
http://www.qrreader.com
http://www.qrreader.org
Maybe you’ll be right in the long run – I’ll be the first to admit it!
Are you God that you can look into the future and say QRReader.org has no $$-making potential, while it’s in the early stages of development?
I’m cwazy.
3d is gone, watch out for 4d and 5d

if you have anything more to say – email me – i’m done airing this out with you on this board.
njoy your sunday 🙂
Pretty much worked out the navigation and coding of QRReader.org. It loads correctly in an iPhone, a Nokia, a Blackberry, or a tablet, and the links lead directly to each reader website.
If anyone has feedback about the way it loads on a mobile, please let me know! Thanx!

@3D Tablet / Holo Tv
Yeah, I hear ya…you’re right that there are no true 3D tablets out on the market but there are some with varying 3D capabilities (like you also mentioned). I’m not selling anything on my site and the specs I display are all from the vendors site so all the information is accurate. Thanks for your feedback though.. Congrats on #1 by the way..
@Louise
I fully agree.. 15K exact match searches is definitely good. Even if it has a low/decent CPC and you think you can rank well then I think its worth developing. It might not bring in hundreds of dollars a month but if it can bring in a fraction of that it would still be a nice addition to the arsenal.
4,575 🙂
Thanx for feedback, @ TabletPCComparison. Congrats to your for ranking page 1 with that! If you are making $$ with that, I should make $$ down the road with QRReader, because they are similar in global searches and CPC
QRReader: 14,8000 CPC $2.20
TabletPCComparison 18,100 CPC $1.74
How is TabletPCComparison doing?
How does QRReader look in your smartphone? It’s a case study, because Francois is going to let me write an article.

crazy crap again lmao
seriously dont know why this is still running so far a handfull of names have sold out of the hundreds regged with no sign of the ft auctions becoming a regular event sorry to say guys but myself i dont see a future in future domains one bit
build out the domains
only people still talking about it is here in this thread nowhere else
say what you want to this post i couldnt care less its the truth with actual facts stop regging garbage and build out the domains 99.99999% aint ever ever going to sell
mine are all going apart from a select few i can use yep its time to admit its all garbage and a waste of time effort and of course money 🙂
iain, below I’m quoting the funny movie “Billy Madison”:
“What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
Some punctuation would go a long way towards helping others understand what you are trying to say.
Judging from your comment, I’m guessing you are probably buying the wrong types of FT domains. Some people do have success with these types of domains, but it takes avoiding the garbage names and being selectively smart.
Good day and good luck.
as i said a
a waste of time commenting here unless you are out to suck ass and say wow what a great name when in fact its not even wprth reg fee
i used to take it serious now i laugh my head off and your remark is just what i expected
good luck buying crap that will never sell i know this fact due to your mentality 🙂
“Judging from your comment, I’m guessing you are probably buying the wrong types of FT domains. Some people do have success with these types of domains, but it takes avoiding the garbage names and being selectively smart.”
erm no i have sold yep i am one of the few that actually has lmao and no its not that
every person who comes along here and says something you dont want to hear you all trash them lmao
open your eyes and listen to what others are saying and yes i am now saying it out loud
99.99999% names wont sell
theres a reason why people mock this thread if you cant see it then your the fool being mocked
last ever post……………………….
last ever read of this garbage………………..
have fun throwing cash away
@ian, what happened to you? You have great domains! I enjoy what you did with 3DViral – one of my favorites!
Many of my posts got rejected from theDomains, but look how many make it on! Don’t take it personal because @ MHB rejects some of your posts, or deletes them, because dozens of mine never made it either. It’s nothing personal. He just doesn’t want the comments section to become completely a listing service.
@ Futrs, @ 3DTablet make $$ on their future trend websites. It’s not just about sales. @ Stephen Douglas just sold one of his robotics domains for x,xxx. It’s going to happen, but, it’s just like, we have to let the world catch up! The people here are so cutting edge, they forget the rest of the world has to catch up.
Just been reading Iain’s comments and it made me think of a domainer I started talking to on another forum a few months back.
He’d got into 3D in quite a big way and had bought some really shitty names, lot’s of .biz, .info and .net names, not really well thought through, just pieced them together in a rush basically.
I recognized this because in my first few months of domaining I did exactly the same thing and I saw in his names the uneducated reasoning that goes behind choosing domains in a very short space of time.
(As an aside, I’m letting many of my early domains drop as I realise just how utterly pointless it would be to keep hold of them, I’m not throwing a strop or making a fuss I’m just swallowing the loss as part of my education in domaining and what I need to do in order to protect the rest of my portfolio, end of).
Anyways I digress, this guy was selling his names as he wanted out apparently “3D isn’t going anywhere”, so I show interest he sends me the list and as I say they are all pigeon shit apart from 2 or 3, I purchase one of them and go on to find a buyer for it within two weeks at a return of investment of 1000%.
Now please tell me where the problem lies, the guy I bought the domain off thought it was with the market not his choice of reg’s or his inability to spot the nugget of gold within the stones or his inability to find the right end user and negotiate the sale; but he was undoubtedly wrong.
Now I’m not saying that Iains domains are of the same quality as those of the guy from whom I bought the domain I went on to sell at a ROI of 1000% but maybe those that want to talk down a market that we all have interests in should look inwards before looking outwards.
You’re damn right that 99.999% of domains won’t sell, that’s because some people just purchase shit and worse still don’t have the ability to learn, reflect on their mistakes and stop buying shit!
They are the ones who turn 50% into 99.999% and I say keep them coming, it makes my names look better.
Lets put it like this when I sell 5% of my future trend portfolio at the level they will command in the “FUTURE” then this whole exercise will have been worth it.
I would explain all this to Iain but I don’t think he’s going to be around anymore.
Lets get down to it. Some people are looking for quick money (not that I can blame them) and never realized what kind of commitment domains takes. They simply want to buy at $7-$10 from the registrar, wait a month and then sell for $x,xxx.
I dont think they ever thought out the idea of waiting for a few years.
Like I have said before, I have other investments that are taking my time at the moment. I have rarely looked up much less updated my domains in months but the bit of groundwork that I first set up on some of my domains is still holding. Just a little bit of TLC needs to go into some of these sites and I dont think some of the people who post here are willing or capable of doing that. One good thing about domains, is that if you put in the effort and time, you can get rewarded. That is something that you CANNOT find in any other investment.
I just recently got my ass handed to me by one of my old real-estate deals. I have owned a house for 6 years on a golf course (built and operated since the 70’s). I bought into $80k equity when the builder had to drop the house quickly to free up the money. 5 years the house was going great… then last year, golf course closes down (no reason why). This investment property is directly on the golf course and now is backed up to a jungle because no one manages the grounds. My $80k in equity is no -120k (negative 120K). No one will lease the place (at least not for the price that I need to cover the mortgage). So now I take a hit every month of over $2K to make up the difference. I cant sell it without taking a large hit. I am pretty much SOL in this case. LOL
With domains, you will never have that. At worst you will loose the money invested, but I can not see how you can take a hit every month (outside of advertising costs… but that is a decision that can be withdrawn).
We all have our share of losses. If you cant wait the year or more to turn a profit… then maybe this investment is not for you. Come to think of it… I dont know of any invest that would be for you.
But that is just my 2 cents.
Cheers
Don’t forget V3D.com its hot to trot..Virtual 3D is the future
@ Jack, Thanx for sharing! Sorry to hear of your investment downturn. Maybe you could move to that house, and that would save rent/mortgage you’re paying at your current place!
The owners could be letting the golf course go to pot in order to drive down home prices, because they have bigger plans for the development. I would hang in there!

Thanks Louise. I thought about that but it would have been a huge pain in the butt to uproot the family and not to mention the cost of moving. I would also have go through the process of preparing my current home for rent and then find a renter.
That could be as fast as a month upwards to a year. I would be paying mortgage on both.
I decided against it. Too much to deal with.
My whole point is that domains (as a whole) cost very little (generally speaking) and it only takes some patience and good names to turn a profit. It would go better if you develop.
But that is just the way I see it. Unfortunately I don’t have the time at the moment myself to continue with my domains otherwise I would love to continue to develop 3D Database some more. So many new 3D directions to go with and more pop up every day.
Cheers
Good news for anyone with 3D printer domains. I’m still in awe of this technology…It looks like it’s really taking off too.
3D printers: Almost mainstream
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9222839/3D_printers_Almost_mainstream
3D Database has much potential! Esp. with hologram. You and @MHB have homed in on the database aspect with 3DDatabase and HolographicRecorders.
Check 3dslaunchtitles.com. I am thinking of converting all my sites to mobile. Mobile is the great equalizer of the big sites liKE Amazon which want to overload your mind with promotionals on every square inch of free space, and consequently look cluttered, noisy, and confusing, like Amazon, eBay, and Yahoo! Plus, mobile sites have to be fast-loading! I am so gloating over the new direction.

Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful New Year.
@Linda
i’m the biggest pusher of Haptic names here.. i have assembled a very nice Haptic Domain Portfolio..
… i really like this one you just got
.. very nice brandable – so nice in fact i have to ask if you cheQQed the tm records, cause it’s perfect.
nicely done 🙂
i have something… er.. similar, using the ‘q’ as a ‘c’ in a brandable way, although not as nicely used.
i have Qinnected.com.
good luck with your name – i believe you will do well with it.
Cheers.
FWIW Im not really into haptics, wallets, ladders to the moon type names at all but it caught my eye as a nice short ‘exact’ brandable for something that gets talked about a lot.
I bought some qr names (like qrhacks.com) not because I think QR is great but because I think real world ones will be hacked and fiddled with mercilessly.
Yep Haptiq.com its a blank page at uspto from what I can tell. I did take the trouble to look directly after registering it. Since I spotted it so close to drop I didnt have time to look before cos I wondered whether you would be after it too!

Congrats on your landing pages!! 🙂
I wish you luck with them
.. however…
(isn’t there always a however from me :))
.. be careful with all the duplicate content.
As it stands right now, you have the potential to damage a lot of these names this way as far as the search engines are concerned…duplicate content of this variety brings a stiff penalty that may cause either you or the new owner more money to clear up with big G.
I know there are different pages throughout, but the ones that are within the same niche (like Graphene, for example), all have the same content and news stories – same formatting – everything.
i’m sorry to point it out.. not trying to rain on your parade or all your hard work, i’m just trying to offer some sincere friendly advice because you have now left yourself vulnerable to such a scenario.
Keep a close eye on your SERPS – monitor all the changes… you may not vanish for a little while, but sooner or later they will.
Best of luck to you in any event. 🙂
@ Futrs,
Thanks for your congratulations and feedback.
Firstly can I just point out that all content on all of my sites is original and unique to each site. (Even though in some cases there is very little written content currently, I will be adding as time goes by).
In terms of the templates and appearance of the sites yes they are similar in many cases but I didn’t think this was something that SE’s look at?
News and videos may duplicate on some sites but that’s purely because there isn’t currently any news for say “3d circuit printing” or “holo golf” so it ends up being more generic (e.g 3D Printing, Holograms).
I was under the impression that Google can’t penalise you for duplicate content but rather award you for original content isn’t that the case?
Many of my generic names are now ranking number 1 of page 1 google for the exact search terms as there just isn’t any competition for those search terms at the moment, these sites I will prioritise for content and try to hold their top rankings.
All this said my view on achieving high position on SERP’s has changed somewhat too.
Apart from a few exceptions (where I have 7 or more unique articles, adsense / Amazon etc) I’m now looking for direct type ins rather than search engine generated hits, so from my point of view if my SERP’s suffer it’s not such a bad thing.
I’ve had experience of cleaning up with the Big G and to be fair it was a very easy process which took only a couple of days for something like lacking original content, so it’s my view that any serious buyers for a domain would not be fazed by this.
Cheers,
Leigh.
@ FUTRS said, “As it stands right now, you have the potential to damage a lot of these names this way as far as the search engines are concerned.”
@ Leigh said: “Firstly can I just point out that all content on all of my sites is original and unique to each site.”
It’s a fine line – even “thin” content is penalized, but Leigh composed original text for each landing page, and intends to add more, so his sites are okay.
It’s when a page is made up solely of linked news stories or links with no text or adsense and no text, there is no content, and it ranks low in Google.
But he put original text. Google is so desperate for REAL content which is original text you compose in your head boys and girls it CANNOT overlook those paragraphs of original text, and I don’t think the sites will be penalized.
BTW, QuadTelevision.com is page 1 for “quad television” after I slapped it up January 1st.

“As prices come down, more content becomes available, and 3-D glasses improve (or are replaced by glasses-free technology), 3-D TV adoption will only increase. Whether we reach the near 50% adoption rates that have been projected for 2014 and 2015 is yet to be seen. But whether you like it or not, 3-D does not appear to be in its death throes just yet.”

3D Printing Draws Closer to Mainstream
If 3D printing is something that excites you, get ready for a rush.
The process, which involves using a machine to turn a digital file into a finished physical object by building it up layer by layer, is something that makes technophiles drool, but up until recently was too expensive for the average tinkerer.
But 3D Systems launches at CES its beta Cubify.com platform, which sounds like it might be pretty amazing once the wraps come off it. It also indicates that more people may soon be giving 3D printing a shot.

CES 2012 news
OLEDS
The most beautiful sets at CES are OLEDs: Organic Light Emitting Diodes. They have much higher contrast than current LED sets because light can be turned off on a per pixel basis. Dark scenes are the blackest of blacks, displaying in rich deep colors without the blooming of light that affects other LCD and LED TVs.
OLEDs are super thin at just 3/16ths of an inch. In fact, some are so thin that the power ports and connectors need to be housed in the stands, not on the set itself.
OLEDs use half the power of current HDTVs and some sets will consume less energy than a 50-watt bulb. And, finally, the dreaded motion blur of LED and LCDs (when sports and fast action appear blocky) almost completely disappears with OLEDs.
I’ve seen small 12 and 20 inch prototype OLEDs in past years at CES, but never a true big screen option that is in production and planned for release. But, this year is different. LG has a 55 inch OLED on display, and Samsung is rumored to have another OLED debuting this week. The prices on these sets will be ridiculous, in the $8,000-10,000 range, but predictions from analysts say that by the end of 2013 they’ll be more like $4,000. Availability is still a little unclear, although rumors of late 2012 availability are in the air.
4K and 8K TV resolution
Another trend at CES is more higher resolution TVs than ever. 4K and 8K, respectively, double and quadruple the resolution of the highest High Definition sets now on the market. Panasonic, Sharp, Samsung and most other TV manufacturers are going for this crisper, more vivid resolution as an incentive to get consumers to trade in their old TV sets. But this technology is still a ways from everyday reality, and CES may prove a litmus test on whether attendees think the 4K sets are that much more visually compelling. Even more of an inhibitor to 4k/8K TVs is that they will mandate all new source video and new cameras and infrastructure from TV networks and production companies.
3DTV
One other big news item here surrounds 3DTV. 3D is dead. Long live 3D!
In the early press releases from manufacturers, there has been very little mention of 3D. It seems they now understand that most consumers aren’t willing to pay much more for a TV with 3D. It’s being seen as less of a feature, more of a gimmick.
That being said, there is early buzz around Toshiba and the company’s statement that they will have a glasses-free, big-screen 3DTV available for sale within the year according to CNET news. This is a big departure from other manufacturers like Samsung who’ve managed expectations by saying they don’t expect to have glasses-free technology ready for market within 10 years.
GESTURE CONTROL- AN END TO THE REMOTE CONTROL?
The success of the XBOX Kinect that uses your body to control gaming has spawned a whole new idea for interacting with your TV: gesture control. Imagine flicking your wrist to mute the volume, raising your arm to pull up the guide and grabbing or swiping to select a show. They’ll even have facial recognition to turn on your favorite channels and volume presets when you walk into the room.
PrimeSense, the company behind the Kinect’s gesture control is showing off a TV driven with the same technology and Samsung is rumored to be debuting sets with this user same type of user control.
SMART INTERNET CONNECTED TVS
Internet connected sets are becoming completely mainstream so expect a lot of products to tout Google TV built into their sets. One cool product for people whose existing sets aren’t connected yet, and who don’t want to upgrade, is a new product from Roku. It’s small stick about the size of a USB stick that you plug into your TV through a slot called the MHL port (many TVs have these ports — check your spec sheet or the back of the TV for something that looks like a micro USB port) for wireless access to Netflix, Youtube and a whole host of independent Internet content providers. No price yet, but estimates are centering on the $50 range.

New 3D-Printed Plastic Heat Exchanger Shows Complex Geometries Are Possible from Additive Manufacturing
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-3d-printed-plastic-heat-exchanger-shows-complex-geometries-are-possible-from-additive-manufacturing-137881388.html
Regarding Stephen trademarking HologramTV – obviously as a top domainer this guy knows what he’s talking about, but it is an interesting development if you can now trademark a domain name in one extension, and then nobody can register the domain with a different extension without infringing the trademark. I mean if he has actually succeeded in doing that, that’s epic. That should be being talked about in hundreds of domain name/affiliate marketing/ adult webmaster forums, because the implications are massive.
I know that in the adult webmaster community there was talk of .com owners trademarking their domains as protection against .xxx effectively stealing their brand and net presence. And I can see that a site like, for example, Brazzers.com could legally have ‘Brazzers’ trademarked in order to stop a rival setting up Brazzers.xxx – but Brazzers.com is an established website that has been in business for years and which has successfully established itself as a brand.
But if Stephen has managed to do it with a site that isn’t selling anything, and which is promoting a technology that is still years away, and which is a generic term for the (putative) technology being promoted, then as I say, the implications are huge.
Hopefully Stephen will explain the trademark here sometime.
Thanx for that link, @ MHB. 3D printing is heating up both as a market, and investment interest. Several searches on 3D printing investment sent visitors to my site, MobileTech.tv ever since I published that article about 3D printing stocks, so I have to follow it up with more info about 3D printing companies . . .

As far as 3D Printer domains go… I only have one left (that I can recall off hand) and that is 3dBio-Printer (dot) com. I have either sold or dropped all my other names.
Hmmm…. I still think that Bio Printing is going to be a huge market within the 3D printing world.

Jack,
To give an indication of my potential with NFCFOCUS.COM , NFCDIRECT.COM sold for $2,688. The sale was in June 2011 but now things are starting to get more interesting on the NFC front, I hope to get more for mine.
Cheers
lol, although the buyer bought it for – Nissan Forklift parts site , mine will be for Near Field Communication. LOL
Cheers
The sale of NFCDirect.com is irrelevant to NFCFocus.com
The buyer wanted NFC as their acronym – Nissan Forklift Corporation.
“Direct” is also a much more popular ending than “Focus”.

Duration: 1 hour
Description: Driven by the emergence of individual display applications, printed, organic, and flexible displays are poised to unseat liquid crystal displays as device portability becomes an increasing concern. As electrophoretics proved in e-readers, for an emerging technology to make an impact, it must find markets that fit its properties, performance, and cost. The market for liquid crystal displays is already well over $100 billion, so the potential opportunity for emerging technologies is enormous. However, not all emerging display technologies will capitalize on this market potential and backing the right technology at the right time is critical for success.
This webinar will examine:
• The future cost of printed, flexible, and organic display technologies and devices
• The growing market size of these technologies
• Challenges and opportunities to capitalize on emerging display innovation

@ Dave, those look like good ones! Glad I could inspire you.
Every time when I register a niche – several in one day! – people criticize me. In June of 2011, I “saw the future” and registered a handful of available multi screen – dot coms. For the record, I begged @ MHB to help me with my portfolio, “because it is too high value for me to deal with.” Got that, @MHB? I have MultiScreenRights. What the hell am I going to do with that?
Anyway, I’m cutting back my registrations – only one this year so far: DualScreenAd.com because I have every dual screen and multi screen known to man! Thought I might as well add it to the pack.
Sorry! Didn’t mean to be rude. But I was wracking my brains, thinking, “What am I going to do?”
Guess I have to build a platform for industry, so broadcasters know where to go:
Companies
Rights Management
Advertisers
What about consumers? Which domain should I use? I’m not that great at choosing domains for consumers . . . MultiScreenServices? Does that sound like you would find info about where to sign up for multi screen services? Or more like companies? Which is it?
Okay, after pondering it over and over, I just registered:
iMultiscreen.com
for the consumer site.
The sports enthusiasts are going to be SO HAPPY! MobiTV just announced a partnership with Texas Instruments!
Using the TI processor, Mobi will be able to develop “a mosaic viewing experience within a single screen that enables secure simultaneous playback of up to six live feeds.”
That means you are going to be able to access UP TO SIX live sports shows on your one tablet screen, during the breaks in between plays of your favorite football or basketball team.
Mosaic-style.

DX: New 3D Technology Changing How Big Brands Advertise
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/3dx-new-3d-technology-changing-how-big-brands-advertise-141729763.html
After trying to sell 3DSmartphone.com to everyone in the domaining world………end users, drug users etc……. and only receiving a $50 offer, the domain was sent to auction this week.
The results are in……………
Are you ready………….
The auction ended on $165 with 15 bids, so after the fee, I have $115.
I think I know where I went wrong, having a domain like – 3dSmartphone , is no different then having a domain like 3GSmartphone , HDSmartphone or SolarPhone etc ……The little piece of tech on the phone, does not make the phone. People will continue to search for “Mobiles” , “Smartphones” and “Phones” , or just the name of the phone…….Samsung etc…..
Im done with 3D.
Its been emotional , but I have seen the light and the time has come to leave this thread.
Have fun with 3D then Holo all.
P.S. If you like any of my remaining 3D names, drop me a line and I will pass it to you for FREE.
P.P.S To all the people who will say “you sold it too early” , believe you me, it was not early enough!!!!

Some hologram applications are finally starting to gain traction in the market:
“The hologram maps are 24-by-36 inches, are scratch-resistant and can be rolled up and easily carried in a ruck or on a vehicle. To activate or see the 3-D imaging, soldiers merely need to shine a flashlight on the filmlike map.”
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2012/03/army-3d-map-provides-edge-preparing-for-battle-030612/
Wow, Stu, what a ride
I will say you sold too early, but that name is probably not as good as some other names out there, especially short, brandable names
I think phones/mobiles/cellphones are just something so common in out lives that it doesn’t matter what new tech they get, people still use the same terms
I do think you need to stick it out a little longer rather than chuck the towel in on all your names, its always worth keeping a few in your arsenal, especially after spending a decent amount of money on these names, at least hold a few to try and make some $$ rather than giving them away. Even the reg-fee names can at least get you your reg-fee back
Anyway, good luck in the future in whatever you do mate
My whole modus operandi has been to spend and spend and spend [mainly hand regs], and drop and drop and drop. Now, I’m content with the niches that are leftover. I mean, it’s a method. Filter out the less desirable ones, and keep the jewels! Feeling forced to drop less valuable domains brings the whole portfolio higher.
Therefore, it wasn’t wasted time.
I’m beginning to think the whole, “smartphone” term is ubiquitous, and people go back to saying, “phone,” as with “color tv” is simply, “tv.” HDTV will soon be an all but forgotten term.
“3D” is like “color TV”. Generally, all TV is color. It’s assumed that TV is in color.
No one searches for “color TV”.
Similarly, no one searches for “2D” displays. Generally, all displays are 2D.
3D displays may be “the next big thing” but by the time this technology gets “big” (read: consumers at every level can afford it), no one will be searching for “3D”. Generally, all displays will be 3D.
Of course, if 3D domain names get traffic today, who cares? Let hype about future technology work in your favor (Microsoft succesfuly used the concept of vaporware to hold consumers’ interest for decades without ever having to deliver). Register the 3D names and hold. No loss.
But how many 3D names do get traffic? And how many 3D devotees are paying to register 3D domain names with anything other than the thought of reselling them?
Congrats to the registries selling 1000’s of registrations for 3D domain names.
The winner is not he who owns 3D domains, it is he who is selling them, in bulk. And as it stands, that is the com registry and later secondary market scavengers like Sedo as the renewal fees become due.
This whole 3DSmartphone.com affair is making me reconsider some of my holdings. After much consternation, I’ve made some difficult choices. For instance, I will probably retain HoloDualScreen3DWalletCloud.com but might have to let 3DFarts.com go. Lots of hand wringing going on over here. But, some paring must be done.

I know – isn’t it the truth? With quad hd resolution and higher, 3D is going to become ubiquitous. You’ll have the choice to watch in 3D or 2D quad hd definition.

– Apple Under Pressure As Samsung Preps Foldable Screens
Hi guys,
Well stu’s message re lack of interest in 3Dsmartphone.com is very interesting, yes this whole 3D thing is a huge letdown, I hand built 3dphonereview.com and 3dphonestore.net, thinking that the huge rush of interest in in this tech would let me retire lol, but its hardly been noticed by anybody, traffic is abysmal, I just dont get it. I even went out and bought a LG 3D phone and I think its an amazing piece of technology.
But still a year later, nobody I meet has ever heard about the 3D phone thing. Ive never seen any advertising, its never in the media, just like they didnt happen.
Ive given up dev on those sites and they have dropped right off the serps from number 1.
So now working on the new cloud computing craze, tech review sites etc
Somebody in the android marketing division needs a kick up the but.
Yes also I have 100 + domains with 3D this and 3D that, what a waste of money, so I feel for you stu, a real shame, if only apple had released the new ipad or iphone as 3D, then there would finally be some coverage.
Ps something I probably should tell you guys who are looking to make a living from Internet Marketing, I am a web designer with 12 years experience, run my own servers, site builds, freelance teams etc, and running about 30 or so blogs across all difference niches, and what nobody tells you when you start off, is to make any money at all from adsence, CPA Affiliate marketing, you need a min of 5ooo unique visits a day to your site, I have about 3 x 10,000 a day and that just covers expenses. So unless you have a totally great product or service to sell, thinking you can buy a few domains, through up a site and make money, not a chance.
Banner advertising is a waste of time for low traffic sites, the CPC is about .5% tops, so it ends up costing more then you make.
Also domains, unless you own a primary keyword domain, good luck selling them we bought over 500 a few years back and its very very hard to shift any of these, even though some are what I would call “gems”, still need to find a buyer, and the market is swapped, nobody wants to spend the money.
So people on here trying to find long tails, honestly thing about it again, 99% of those domains will expire unsold.
I learn t this lesson the hard way, so hopefully this may prevent somebody buying, a domain like 3dcloudphonesalesnet.com and thinking they will make money from it.
good luck guys
@Mike..well said
You like “BullS” site..
I have better cloud domains than yours
@ Mike said: “Ive never seen any advertising, its never in the media, just like they didnt happen.”
That’s why I think, future trend is hard. Because, it’s on us to promote the niches. Like it’s an obligation. We have the domains; we actually have to promote the niches we want to see succeed.
And the large corps are waiting for us, releasing products with great technology, hoping the blogosphere and twitter cause it to explode.
The Kyocera Echo had mostly great reviews, even from an Apple blog – he loved it! But it went off market before the end of the last year.
There is no doubt the marketing departments are waiting for glasses free 3D before they spend any money on 3D advertising, Apple makes me sick They are reselling the same BS products over and over again, The IPAD should have been 3D what a inept company. Big deal 4G Ipad so what. When 8000 lines of resolution glasses free 3D computers and TVs are introduced is when the world will wake up.
If you see 3D as being big like I do than relax and renew your domains like we are,, All we are doing is getting rid of big stretch names. It was the stupid glasses that stopped 3D when those are gone the 3D game will start all over again It will happen

3d Printing is Heating up
TechCrunch
http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/16/as-3d-printing-heats-up-stratasys-and-objet-merge/
Between 3d printing & crowdfunding (JOBS Act), from my vantage point, the future looks bright…it’s all a matter of perspective, I suppose.
it is all relative!!!
15-20 people per day access MobileTech .tv because of the 3D printing stocks article I wrote back in November. It started a trickle, and has gotten more.
Dr. Dre hired Digital Domain and AV concepts to create a holographic Tupac Shakur for a Coachella concert with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog. Technically, it isn’t a hologram, but a tech from the late 19th century called, “Pepper’s Ghost.”
If they’re going to bring back dead singers, I wish it would be Nat King Cole.

That’s a very good name. Nice to see you getting into the holo space.
There had to be over 1,000 articles posted just this week on the whole Tupac Hologram thing. And that single event, and how well it was received – whether it was a real hologram or not -, appears to be the catalyst that was needed for getting people talking about this technology. Undoubtedly, the VC money will start paying attention to the various applications that are possible for the technology.
Really hope that speakers bureaus start working with this technology, too. It makes sense.

Hundreds of solar products breaking light with the average consumer daily and will continue to break into mainstream media for many many years to come.

I think it’s time we started being honest with ourselves and admit that 3D isn’t 1/10th as big as we expected it to be at this moment.
I think people need to start revising down substantially their expectations for their 3D names, or even dropping the majority of them.
3D was pushed onto the public when the technology for the home wasn’t ready for it – understandably turning off a lot of people from 3D for good.
Here’s hoping holo tv makes its appearance in the next 5 years.
I only own around 10 visual 3D related domains as I’ve focused primarily on 3D printing and other future tech.
But as the guy from HTC says “never say never”.

@Leigh has OurAR and 3DTrailers and other happening domains. Go AR!
@Giles has the great cloud domains!
@ DMPartners has 3DMammogram and others – right coming of age – you go!
@ Futrs & @ Holo-TV are making $$ off of websites, @Lucy has great graphene, travel 3D domains . . . Graphene, AR, Hologram are starting to happen.
3D domains with 1,000+ exact match searches will deliver good type-in traffic and keyword searches. We are selling 3D site that meets the requirements. Cloud domains are probably much a better investment than 3D domains.

the truly amazing thing is that this just shows that 3d has yet to even sniff its true capabilities yet.. especially for the web.
for all those that said there would be no value in 3d domain names will all soon realize their short sightedness.
So many articles were written about ‘the end of 3d’ and ‘3d is just a fad’ – but it hasn’t even arrived yet… i only hope those same people are around when it does.
Microsoft’s Windows 8 will really only be the beginning for 3d development – due out this fall (winter?)… The 3d Revolution will begin shortly after.
Not much longer now everybody.. keep those renewals going
Oh sh#t, here we go again.
Louise, no one is having any sort of a moment. The only moment you future f*cks are having are a series of successive senior moments every time you register one of those sh*tty names.
P.S.

@3D
… can u seriously not see the potential here?
are you really that stubborn?
.. regardless… let me ask… WHY the hell do u stay so tightly tuned in with us space cadets? you post more than anybody here … because? … why?.. you’re such a phuckin genius?!
haha – highly doubt that!
so.. what exactly is your problem?.. what niche’s don’t u like? anything specific?
3d?.. Holo?.. cloud?… telematics?…4k?..etc..
i agree that the 3dmartini’s, and 3dcologne’s of the world are totally silly, but even then – so what?.. who cares? let them be silly. The future trend domain names are really no different than any other niche… there will be TONS of senseless regges and tons of drops in all of them… travel, insurance, dating, adult, health… etc…
regged, dropped and caught all day long… what exactly is your point?
so being as u spend SO much time here – eavesdropping on our future trend research and idea’s, trolling like a _ _ _ _ , there must be something about it that u like (love?)…
haha… u can try to say otherwise, but your existence says otherwise… maybe it’s your own guilty pleasure – and not so secretly either – cause your ever so cool self would have vanished a while ago if not.
it may be better put to say that maybe you should get YOUR head out of OUR asses!
but so be it… one less schmuch to worry about chasing this niche!
that’s all i needed to say
… so keep in touch with yourself
… and this memorial day weekend – hope you make sure to drive fast and swerve a lot!

None of them have anything to do with articles you people post. The ones you claim to have some relation are not even in the ballpark. You take bits and phrases of actual technology jargon and make junk names out of them. That’s not forward thinking, that’s barely thinking.
I will happily welcome you back to real world. Please return.
But you refuse to say, “TabletHybrid.com is a bad domain name.” You would have all the credibility in the world, if only you would say, “TabletHybrid.com is a bad domain name.” Just say it.
It’s a bad name. If you reversed the terms, it might be a slight improvement, it sounds better. WTF is a tablet-hybrid, on it’s own, it sucks as a name. I’ve heard of a laptop-tablet-hybrid or smartphone-tablet-hybrid, but just tablet-hybrid is kind of lame. Anyway, registering these so-called “product-service” keyword names in strange arrangements is not likely going to result in any big sales, this isn’t 2005. I don’t know maybe someone would be willing to pay a few bucks for that. But, it wouldn’t be me.
Enough Enough of dickering
All Domains and Alllllll websites are “BullS” period!!
You’re right. The phrase “tablet hybrid” does occur by itself, but not often. Mostly it’s:
PC tablet hybrid
smartphone tablet hybrid
phone tablet hybrid
laptop tablet hybrid
The phrase gets lots more searches than the exact search:
“tablet hybrid” High 3,600 1,600 $3.03
[tablet hybrid] High 260 58 $2.81
But, I thought, shorter is better!
We’ll see. It has some development value, I think. Maybe LeftoftheDot wants it.

@ 3D, your posts go from making me cry because I laugh so hard, to scratching my head over your meanness, like the one, above. You gave yourself away you are a frustrated investor who used to reap the easy profits cluttering the web with adsense, until Google started cleaning up its own results. Now you don’t know what to do.
But we have a direction that is a long view instead of the failed route the rest of the domaining community tried to milk bot hits on their spammy pages.

carry on trawling you no life muppet
remember the whois 🙂
look back a long way in this thread i dont take it serious on here i only do this as a hobby i know you do the same except your hobby is being a troll each to own i guess probably nice to take out that lonely feeeling of desperation on others i am no expert but if it makes you feel any better we will all support you in that therapy you obviously need

Here it is – cool ad!
Worth another look. Can you see a Glass of Champagne being poured in 3D WE CAN.
How about a Martini being made in 3D right Louise..
I see Microsoft missed SurfaceTablet.com and SurfaceTablets.com which registered in teh last 2 days, but they did get the .net and org and yesterday Microsoft did grab SurfaceTablet.net and TabletSurface com
You would have thought they would register the best names before anything was released to the public??
I have 3 related names I registered 2 years ago and I have had 2 offers on each today lol….mainly low-ball so they are probably domainers
@Giles,
Microsoft has Surface.com – why would they want surfacetablet(s).com?
@Beach
I guess the same reason regged all the .net and .org names and the other names related to this product.
I mean if they were going to register something, surely they should have got the exact product name in the .COM…instead they they settle for the .NET (SurfaceTablet.net) and the .COM with the keywords the wrong way around? (TabletSurface.com)
I know they will use Surface.com and/or Microsoft.com/Surface as their main site, but then why reg all these names in lesser extensions the day after you announce it??
They should have rather just emailed the guy with the .COM and bought it off him if they really wanted another domain and left the others alone
I mean they can certainly afford to buy the names they want? Strange if you ask me…
Surfacetablet.com the owner shouldn’t park as its gonna soon have there products ads
Thus allowing Microsoft to wipo them
There probably going to go that route anyway
3DSurfaceTablet.com grabbed just in case
Any tablet or phone domain with, Surface, in it, I’d toss right back out there – it’s trademark!
@dmpartners, cool video!
@ Giles, it shows the poor quality protection MarkMonitor delivers. Sorry, but Mark Monitor is not proactive protecting its clients . . . Many times it registers terrible domains in advance of a product launch of one of its clients, but leaves out the important domains.
Only two domains in my portfolio I had 2nd thoughts they are trademark, so I allowed them to drop.
Tapsurfacetablet.com and NFCsurfacetablet.com
Got those now be a millionaire with these
Cheers
@Louise
I have checked and there isn’t a surface trademark for tablets in particular, lots of other “Surface” product trademarks
Thats why the generic names like I have are fine, they can be used in a variety of industries and don’t imply anything about tablets…computers etc
Surface is a very generic work and very difficult to TM
I have these names
SurfaceForum.com
SurfaceForums.com
SurfaceHarware.com
Just had another offer on each this morning ($200)
It appears trademark to me . . . It was in use by Samsung & Microsoft with regard to its touch screen tables . . . I wouldn’t want anything to do with it. Who are you going to sell it to: LG? Apple? But I see your point.
I wonder if it’s part of the big betrayel that Steve Jobs complained of, before his passing . . . Samsung used, Surface and manufactured the touch screen tables, before Microsoft took it over. Maybe Apple wanted the brand and the tech . . .
Louise, I have checked already and its fine
But the point is, stay away from a surface tablet name, that is showing exactly what you want it for, a name like surfaceforum can be used for any surface product,
Lol, no it won’t be sold to a big company like Samsung, someone will want it for a forum site though
I’ve also had the names before any TM was in place

@ Elliot, you’re entitled to your opinion!!! Bendy is my and Gazzip’s niche, who has BendyPhone. Someone else has, BendyPhones. Someone had BendyTV dot com, before I got it, so, you’re not saying, just I’m wrong, but all of the above . . . What do you think of DualScreenApps dot com?

Cameras and 3D screens depend on different technology. They’re not compatible, necessarily.
Flexible display devices will be distinguished from high resolution screens capable of 3D. or high res cameras. It’s either one or the other.
3D tech depends very much the angle the images are hitting your eye. I don’t see how that is compatible with, “bendy” tech.

Louise we are looking for 7 figures with the Vodka names. There are over 3000 Vodka companies and some are now producing 3D commercials. With Vodka.com selling for 10 million 3DVodka.com and Vodka3D.com as a package deal will be a 7 figure sale .
“With Vodka.com selling for 10 million 3DVodka.com and Vodka3D.com as a package deal will be a 7 figure sale .”
3D.com sold for $500K. Good luck with that.
Brad
@ Brad, you’re smart – you really are!
@ DM, Far be it from me to caution anyone to set their sites lower, but . . . after being burnt by Madison Avenue and the ad agencies, who didn’t have the foresight to register dot com generics in behalf of their clients, spending millions on print ads that are no longer effective, it’s hard to educate marketing departments . . . because Madison Avenue got rich off of them. Other future trend domainers are getting the brush off when approached about an exact match generic. You have some good, solid domains like 3DMammogram.org which you shouldn’t give away, but it would be good for you and good for the company if you could find a common meeting ground to do business. That’s not seven figures, maybe five figures. 3D it turns out, isn’t the ultimate in branding for every product, like 3DWhite and 3Dshave . . . That’s my two cents. It would be more fun to do business than sit on the sidelines.
If you saw what we see you would understand. First off 3D.com at 500K was the deal of a lifetime. As far as agencies they are so far behind right now its laughable. When there is a real 3D Internet is when you sill see the 3D.coms we have in our banks explode in value, Some of the Vodka bottles I have seen like Royal Dragon Vodka would be stunning in 3D absolutely breath taking I have watched the Finlandia 3D commercial so many times and have never gotten sick of watching in fact I can’t wait for the next 3D commercial from them. All I know is there is allot of money in the Vodka business 3000-5000 companies are out there worldwide. And guess what there is only 1 3DVodka.com and only 1 Vodka3D.com and we have em both. If Vodka sold for 10 mil the 3D counterpart will have the same value When the 3D internet is fully functional.
I love how domainers are light years ahead of agencies who specialize in marketing. And when I say specialize, I mean work with clients, create visions, create directions, understand return on investment, understand true brand engagement…
These people just don’t get it. All they need is 3dVodka.com why?
Finlandia sells Vodka – people know that because of ads and branding. Part of that may include 3d elements in ads? in bottle design? But 3dVodka.com? Totally meaningless. Worth about $100 to another domainer who is convinced with his high school diploma that they – people with years of industry experience – just don’t get it. They’ve been so busy since 1990 they haven’t had a chance to discover the internet yet.
@ unknown
All they need is 3dVodka.com why?
Because the internet will be in 3D that’s why. A 2D internet and a 3D internet. You want to look up Bras in 3D guess what you type in bras3D You want to see tires in 3D you type in Tires3D . Its that simple. We are a marketing company and we have better ideas than most inept companies that are out there. Have you seen the State Farm or Allstate commercials I proved my point. Marketing companies just follow along with what everyone is doing and don’t get it until it slaps them in the face, The 3D internet will do just that. All of a sudden they will need to put out 3D aspects of there brand and Vodka is a big brand. Are you going to type in royaldragonvodka3d.com or are you going to just hit vodka3d.com Easy answer. Are you going to type schmirrnoff3d.com or 3DVodka.com I rest my case.
umm, stupid question here, but why would one purposefully seek out a view of a vodka bottle in 3D before deciding to buy it.
3D Go look at all the incredible Vodka bottles that are out there Check out Royal Dragon with the gold floating inside the bottle. The answer is simple 3D visuals sell and keep the consumer coming back for more, In fact it’s addicting.. Go check out the Finlandia 3D commercial very cool. Im not so sure a consumer would seek out a view of a vodka bottle rather than want to see 3D Vodka hologram advertising. With 3000 companies who will stand out from the rest?
I remember when I first got a computer the first thing I did was punch in basically all the major generics of every brand to see what was out there, The way we see it is this is going to happen a lll over again when you start seeing 3D Holographic Websites, Consumers are going to hit all the generics to see whats going on in 3d Holographic ads . I would bet that bank on it. 3D Shoes to see shoe styles in 3D Holgram. 3D Champagne to see the sparkle of the bubbles in 3D.
You want to see 3D Trains? you know what to punch up Trains3D.com
Well, if you think people will be typing in 3d everything dot com just to see what’s there, I’d imagine the desire to see 3d vodka bottles would rank pretty low compared to lots of other things.
I have to say dm, I always thought that when you mentioned Vodka3D.com you intended it as a joke.
Is it you who registered 3dPizza.com ?
about 3dvodka, when I drink 3dvodka will I be seeing a 3d everywhere ? lol I guess not !
@ dmpartners, you have a vision, and you explained it. Others might not agree[d], but it’s your vision.
@ Holo-TV, Maybe you think it’s silly that dmpartners registered Vodka3D. But look at what Finlandia did – a whole campaign based on Vodka 3D!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rQOUisl-2Y
Who was silly? dmpartners, for having an imagination, or Finlandia for creating a campaign for which is doesn’t have the dot com?
There’s going to be a showdown. Don’t tell me Finlandia didn’t get bad advice from its ad agency for launching a campaign for which it doesn’t own the dot com!!! Silly ad agency. Then the silly ad agencies turn around and call investors, squatters, because of their complete disregard for their clients. They made the $$, and throw their clients under the bus.
Answer me that!
Cool 3D video
3D is y Life
Tell that to the 3000 Vodka companies. Vodka advertisement is huge and in 3D it will be huger. I know huger is not a word

When I want to see Vodka in 3d I go to the liquor store or I just go open the Hangar 1 I have laying around.
@Louise
” but it’s your vision.”
No one is selling 6 figures on “their” vision.
Also the ad was for Finlandia shot in 3d – so if anything Finlandia3D.com would be a good name but they own Finlandia and extensive TM rights – they don’t need 3d. The youtube video was uploaded as Vodka 3d by a person who likes 3d… and yet you found it and it’s Finlandia.
So who doesn’t get what ?
@ unknown, Maybe I was mistaken about the label on the campaign . . . The people who created the video are the ones who uploaded it, same as the video I posted, above. The ad agency labeled it, Vodka 3D. I think it’s a cool title.
We could have a civilized discussion, because you make some valid points which domainers could learn from, while some domain investors have great points of how “Madison Avenue” is lacking.
Generic keyword domains are NOT worthless! They’re the most potent means of connecting a searching public to a product or service or information the owner of the domain offers . . . of reinforcing the BRAND. If someone is searching the ad they saw on tv, they’re more likely to type the generic, if they don’t remember the brand. Those searches are supposed to connect the generic phrase WITH the brand. That’s why Amazon paid big bucks for Diapers.com and Soap.com, then developed each site, to capture an audience wanting info on those generics, which lead back to Amazon.

Also the ad was for Finlandia shot in 3d – so if anything Finlandia3D.com would be a good name
Here is why I disagree.
The 3D internet is out in full force and a buddy comes up to you and say’s did you see that Vodka commercial in 3D You say no I will check it out. The next step you go to the 3D internet and punch up what?
Either Vodka3D or 3DVodka not Finlandia3d,, or any other of the 3000 Vodka companies out there, That’s why 3DVodka and Vodka3D will be worth 7 figures.

” but it’s your vision.”

that bring NO traffic!

Let me state different.
No one makes 7 figures because of their “vision” for the potential use of a “name”.
No disrespect but Mr Disney and Zuckerburg didn’t post on blogs about $8 names they bought being able to change the world.
Wow @ Karl Jackson – those domains are all banned from Google. That’s a nice mansion you’re standing in front of! Wonder how 0 traffic can make you rich . . .
scary . . .
@ dm, a generic like vodka of course might bring in seven figures. Using 3D to market vodka is very niche – it’s amazing Finlandia put out a 3D commercial advertising vodka! There is 3D advertising which applies to advertising in general. Even now, that market is not mature . . . You’re talking about an intersection between vodka and 3D advertising. Besides, Europe is hurting. Companies there likely put the brakes on domain expenditures!
OrangeJuice brought in only four figures; Catfood brought in only four figures – and those define an industry!
And you’re talking about 3D will become ubiquitous. There will be a narrow window to market domains with “3D” in the domain, since they will become ubiquitous, like high def is now. High Def tv – big deal!
Eureka! Figured out some code to post a showcase on my mobile template.
http://tablethybrid.com/check It never ends: the domain, the idea for development, communicate with the artist for a logo idea, figuring out a template, precision SEO, upload the terms, reserve Facebook, twitter, gmail id, all for no $$, but at least now the showcase works How can it work in the sidebar?

@ Louise
Read Chews article 3D Holograms in your home on your computer will be around and for a long time. The imagination of the 3D Website developers will be solely spent on 3D Holographic Advertisement, Im not talking Red and Green crap Im talking 4K 3D Glasses Free Holographic websites for all brands, Vodka is one of the biggest but beyond that everything will have it’s space on the 3D Highway, If people don’t want it stay 2D . My money say’s that will be a vacant building once the entire spectrum on 3D is utilized. Many dimensions and many ideas will be explored. You want to see the MonaLisa in 3D ? Log on to ArtGallery3D.com which we own or 3DArtGallery.com which we do not, You want to Go shopping in the store in 3D ? log on to Go3DShopping.com and buy whatever you want as if you were standing in the store, Im telling you this is beyond big , Its the next internet The New 3D Internet , The game will start all over again. The new extensions all will be worthless the bust of the century mark my words.

@ Clew
Nice article, with favorite actor Robert Downy Jr pictured at the top as an added treat – thanx! 🙂
This is the best thread, with the best tech news.
@ Louise
Just wait till we start seeing big 3D sales this thread will light up . BTW did I mention Vodka today?
It’s okay to be mindful of the practical realities of end users you want to sell to! These include capital investment restrictions, the capital, talent, time and effort it would take to build a website for each invested domain, market that website, etc. It’s excruciating effort to create a brand online, just to set it up with twitter, facebook handles, etc. I only just now figured out how to create a facebook page for one of my domains, facebook.com/iMultiscreen . . . I don’t know any easy $$ that would come from investing in a descriptive or brand domain. You have to build it. That’s why I haven’t done big marketing for Emerging Domains, because I want some traffic websites that make $$, before I approach end users, not just started websites with poor stats! Asking a big fee for a good domain would be like saying, “Here, make me rich, and in return, you can do a slug of work.”
Finally, in perhaps its most unique trick, the Apple hologram system would detect who is watching, and be able to display different images to different people. The patent says “individual observers … can be uniquely identified based upon distinctive personal characteristics (e.g., height, shoulder width, distinctive outline, etc.),” allowing outbound beamed projections to be changed for each observer. This would enable everything from private holograms to personalized advertising.
Can you see it ? 3DChampagne.com sends out a 3D hologram ad on the internet to all the millions of Champagne drinkers. Popping the cork and pouring the bubbly right in the viewers face. This will be the talk of the town when it hits , The creativity level of web designers is going to go through the roof once there is a 3D Holographic Platform from Adobe. The is the new internet and the game is about to start very soon.
3D printer could build a house in 20 hours

I’m keeping my 3d-bioprinting.com, 3dbioprinter.org and 3dbioprinting.org
@ dm, if you get bored or it’s taking a long time before you pop that 3D champaigne cork, this is what you do:
1) Research to find the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the seven [7] facilities in the US that have the 3D mammogram.
2) Put the list of seven in a text document.
3) Upload the text document to a server, where you will point, 3D mammogram.
That’s it! You will be providing something helpful and useful to those searching for the nearest facilities with a 3D mammogram. Later, you could find more clinics around the world and publish some articles after that. After that, you could look into posting Adsense links, and contacting the facilities for sponsorships/advertising.
We all have different levels of web skills. Me, Futrs, and Holo-Tv are more comfortable publishing wordpress homepages with templates.
But all you need to do is upload a text document. It should show up allright. That’s it!

Thank You for the info. We looked into a full blown website for this and it was 9K, I like your ideas, I think right now there are 50 3D Mammogram facilities. Your sponsorship and ad sense ideas are great, Lets see what happens I know its the home run name need to start making money with it,
Hi @ DM
Yes, it is. Besides, how come I can’t go to my friend’s 3DMammogram site and find the info there, if I want it? How come? Scratches head. It doesn’t make sense.
Look at: HardtopConvertibles.net. There it is, page 1 of Google. Just a simple, HTML template!
If you know of 50 sites, then get busy. Make a list, and publish it – be the first!
@ Louise
We are going for it . 6 months ago we were going to do this and now after some DD we see about 1000 centers offering 3D Mammograms , The time is now for 3DMammogram.org

@ Louise 3Dmammogram.org is up in first draft.. Still need the locator plug in and much more content but you will get the idea , More to come
@ DM, It’s nice that you have a site up. But, I asked you first. Which screenshot should I use for my article? Link, above. Then I’ll offer feedback.
Louise I like B the rest seem blurry and out of frame
Cool-looking site. I like the covergirl and the slogan: 3D Mammograms Save Lives – Choose Prevention. I tested the text below that on Google, and see it is duplicate text. Get rid of it! For $25.00, open an account at Textbroker and have 3 articles written that are original, and contribute some yourself! Duplicate text is poison in Google – it could mar 3D’s reputation! I like your ideas for it, as displayed in the headings you chose: Home, Media, 3D Mammogram Facilities, Testimonials, Contact, and the fact you want to include articles. 3D Mammogram’s fufutre looks exciting – I am excited for you! Good job!
@ Louise thank you for the review YES it is duplicate text and in a shhhhh it’s for a reason, The big boy is the co we want to buy the domain. The way we see it is there will be a few thousand providers of this great technology. A annual fee of say 1200.00 bucks could be good revenue, 1200 times 2000 not bad annual if we can get to them all. The big daddy who we borrowed the text from could reach the 2000 providers in 15 min We would take quite longer, All in all we keep building and see where it goes
@ Louise total mammogram facilities 9000 about 1000 have converted to 3D and that number grows everyday, Fuji is awaiting a FDA approval for there 3D Mammogram machine and when that happens we may have a bidding war.
Or at least we hope.
I’m the one with #1 page Google results – how dare you reject my suggestion!
@ Louise who are you yelling at ?
You and the other future trend domainers who post used articles on their site. It’s like tying a rock to your domain to make it disappear in Google.
@ Louie Our site is just a test right now. Not anywhere near ready Your words are in our head I mean you yelled and said put the site up so we did , Don’t worry we respect your input believe me.
Okay, @DM. I have high hopes for you. Post when you have another update.

@ dm & future trend investors, Textbroker sent me an email of a promotion for $2.99/month hosting. Supposed to be, if you have a Textbroker account, you are eligible for the promtion:
domain.com/domaincom/hosting/textbroker.bml?LinkName=special_offer
Here is a Sitebuilder tutorial:
It’s $2.99/month for a year and one free domain. the price goes up to $3.75/month after a year, and the domain renewal is: $10.99/year with Domain.com.
It seems simple to build a site, and there are no ads, except if you place them. It’s supposed to be “all standards-compliant HTML . . . It uses proper CSS rather than putting a lot of “hardcoded” styling for example, so any page text is easy to index,” according to Ian C., who I chatted with. Especially with theDomains’ breaking news about Google patent for demoting spam, and recent news about the Emanuel Update:
The Emanuel Update: Google Will Penalize Sites Repeatedly Accused Of Copyright Infringement
searchengineland.com/dmca-requests-now-used-in-googles-ranking-algorithm-130118
it would be treating your precious domain like a jewel to open a textbroker account and send those articles to a new website created by Sitebuilder! A double threat!
Here’s the article:

Yes, I own 5D.TV — trying to decide where I should price it, in anticipation of widespread, future interest.
@apple,
5D TV? That’s huge…nice find. Nice domain by the way
Apple just won a $1 Billion verdict against Samsung for a patent dispute. Wowzers…
@Apple Wins,
I would price 5d.tv at $20,000 for a quick sale. If you are holding out for a big user (won’t be apple, they don’t pay up for domains), you might get $100,000 but it could take 10+ years to sell. Sell now and reinvest the profits into my domains!

YAHOO ARTICLE:
FORGET 3D, YOUR DREAM TV SHOULD BE 4D
TQUOTE: he 3D-TV fad seems to be fading — and giant, cinema-style 4K sets are the newest cutting-edge tech marvels destined for your living room.
A truckload of new TVs, with screen resolutions four times greater than so-called full HD screens, are being unveiled at this week’s IFA technology show in Berlin. The screens — referred to as 4K or ultradefinition — were among dozens of new gadgets on display for the 250,000 people who descended on Berlin’s conference halls.

@ Jin, 3DMovie is one of the best! 🙂
Toshiba, Sony, Samsung, HP, Dell & Lenova put out tablet hybrids. Here is Acer’s offering, highlighted at IFA:
@Louise-
Reading a bit more about 4k technology seems the manufacturers have put the “cart before the horse”, and there is not much media for these TV’s at this point. Appears it is going to require some revamping of the filming technology and that is likely not to happen soon (or so the experts think). 4k TV’s are still supposed to provide the best picture at 50″ and over but again some experts are saying the difference is not that highly noticible.
I still think 3D names are a good investment, there will be glasses-less 3-d coming in the next decade and who knows what else will be invented. 3D is still the main term for that technology and that makes the names valuable IMO…although I was late to the party and don’t own any myself.
Some people have had success overnight with their emerging trend domains, but the rule has been, there is no overnight success! There is no easy wealth. That said, people should filter their portfolios for the best domains and hang on! Can you last five years or longer?
But some people have great 4K domains, but the tech is just gearing up. As I quoted on my site, QuadTelevision.com – my entry into quad hd or 4k, a 4K monitor:
.That said, the iMac came out with quad screen, and the next Playstation is touted as being quad. There is a high-performance, ivy bridge gaming notebook by Eurocom. In conclustion, quad hd ultra def may remain niche product for now, for high-performance gaming devices, and some professional use screens.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19370582
So I saw that the other day and took 8k.tv 😀
The following domains are worth ZERO and they will still be worth ZERO twenty years from now:
emergingdomains
tablethybrid
dualscreenphones
imultiscreen
You are wasting your money and reprinting these obscure articles that happen to mention the keyword of one of your worthless domains is pitiful. Get a job – domaining is not for you.
Who am I to judge the value of somebody else’s domain. I take back my previous comment…and apologize.
@ LM, Nice find!
@ VegasPirate44, Sorry you’re unhappy. 🙁
It’s 3DIsmyLife. I said some harsh things to you last time, so you came back to get even: I get it. You and alot of domainers / developers expect easy $$ that you grew used to, before Google updates – always something for nothing. That doesn’t work for Google anymore, so I advise you to get an education! You told me, Get a job, but I say, don’t let your mind tell you it can’t be done: Get an education! There are online courses for adults, like EmpowerED.com. If you can’t afford a paid course, learn HTML online. It’s not difficult to find free tutorials that are very good, with editable examples. And you can learn php after that, and css. I had formal HTML training, but when I have a question, Google is my best friend, and I study the php on the fly.

New Windows 8 Note-taking App
Just caught Go Daddy selling my 3DMammogram.org domain in one of there auctions without my consent. They blamed it on Sedo. Nice try. Go Daddy was caught shill bidding now they are caught selling domains in auctions without consent, Man I wish I had a good lawyer
@ DM, Would you log into Sedo and take a screenshot of the “owner” of the domain? This is what you do: You press Shift/Print Screen or Function button/Print Screen. Then email it to me. I’d like to compare, because my TabletHybrid was for sale on Afternic with a Domain For Sale link on DomainTools. Before you complain about it to Sedo, log in and take a screen shot where it says, “Learn more about the seller,” and email it to me.
After snapping the screenshot according to the directions, above, you can open Paint and paste it: go to Start in the bottom left. Start/Programs/Accessories/Paint, and press Control V, and save it as JPG.
Louise
It said Go Daddy Auctions not Sedo, Not very happy they set a start date and end date.
If it sells, GD will move it from your account – do you think this is an accident?
Can you chat with a Sedo rep, then save the conversation? Save the conversation to a text file. Tell Sedo you are the owner, that the domain is NOT for sale, and that the whole complaint is going to Lawrence Strickling of NTIA. Tell the Sedo rep GD pushed it to auction without your authorization, and that Sedo has to make a note of your complaint against GD.
Stop that auction.
Further, no more phone calls. The Big companies prefer phone calls, because there is no record.
This is how you save the conversation: Copy is Control C, then open Notepad in Accessories, the way I told you, above. Control V is paste.
Even if there is an option to email the conversation, save it first.
No more phone calls. Everything saved; screenshots, everything.
It wouldn’t hurt to contact Morgan Linton at DomainTheft.org, and tell him what is going on:

We must live by our wits.
Louise I have screen shots documents names everything when they shill bid against me in a fake back order just 4 months ago I contacted a lawyer with proof positive and the guy did not want the case. This deal I was going to take the screen shot but said forget it, Then I called GD and they deleted it during the call. So my post was for all domainers to watch your domains on Go Daddy keep looking them up to make sure they are not auctioning them off without consent,
Sorry folks -game over!

Contact by email or chat each company to complain that you NEVER listed 3DMammogram.org for sale, and keep your records. For instance, you may email GD at abuse@godaddy.com.

Do you think these type of domains are still going to pick up value?
Apart from 3D cinema (that isn’t new at all) I haven’t seen too much noise around the whole 3D thing, maybe the timing isn’t right yet, or are they going to be a non lasting fad, like 3G domains in the past?

The even bigger next big thing is 8K TV 😀
Nice going, with one-of-a-kind 8Kdot tv! Though, it’s hard for the human eye to discern 8K on a small screen, when 4K is being shown in movie complexes . . . How do you like the BendyBook, above? 😉
Does anyone have any ideas what Facebook’s big announcement is going to be?
I want to take a stab. Of course, taking a chance and finding the corresponding dot com is a fun investment!
So far, journalists have no clue. The announcement is by invitation, and sounds groundbreaking.
So, let me go on record, and take a long shot guess from abstract thinking from something I discovered doing research yesterday: Veveo.com. Facebook is going to buy, Veveo.
There aren’t any short domains left for this category. Here is the list of patents of Veveo – see if you can find one:
Veveo Intellectual Property
http://207.154.39.14/technology/personal-graphs
My stab at a guess of Facebook’s announcement involves Veveo, yet CNBC’s live blog site for the announcement has a statement that it doesn’t involve a company . . .
There don’t appear to be any short domains related to Veveo’s patents left!
corporate.veveo.net/technology/personal-graphs
It’s pretty big news! Graph Search, and Facebook is collaborating with Bing! All you Facebook haters better HOPE Facebook succeeds, so that Bing can get in there and grab some of Google’s search community.
The word is, “graph,” and I just grabbed my first emerging domain of the year:
GraphDate
dot com, of course.

Nice to see sale of 3DParts.com for $40,000 by DomainHoldings in DNJournal.com weekly sales report published tonight
That is a phenomenal sale for all us 3D Printing domainers, and the start of things to come.
Over the next 18 months I believe we are going to see a lot more high figure 3D printing domain sales.
I wonder how much 3DPrinters.com would fetch right now?
Hang on to your hats guys because we are at near tipping point!
Had nearly $3000 in offers for my 3d printing domains in the last 5 months. Presently negotiating over a ‘food printing’ domain, though my bets also lie with drug printing, meat printing and house printing.
PS. @Louise
I’ve done away with ‘HG’, it’s too far away compared to where 3d printing is heading…
Just picked up 3DPrinters.me in a godaddy auction. What do you guys think I can get for it? Hopefully more than I paid for it. 🙂

@MB
I dread to think how much has been collectively spent on registrations since this blog started…it’s Bob Parsons that owes you one. Everyone else is trying to recoup their losses.
@3DPrintman
Ha Ha!…Touche, there is most definitely an element of truth in that.
@ MHB
When I get my first big one a cheque will be on it’s way to you sir.
Most of these yahoos haven’t sold a thing and are probably deep in the hole. We saw all those future flop domains they were selling a couple of years back. Someone is making money on 3D printing but certainly not this crowd.
Example:
money maker –> 3Dprinting.com
these guys –> 3Dwalletpenguins.com
@ 3D is my life.
So I take it from your comment that you think 3DPrinters.me is a money maker then?
what about 3dprinting.im or free3dfiles.com or 3dprintdownloads.com….or maybe 3dcakeprinters.com 0r 3dmedicineprinters.com that I’ve already had offers of $**** on?
Yahoo!
@ Leigh, no wonder you are receiving four fig offers for your medical 3D printing domains:

Congrats!
Here is another one:

Nobody else on the planet registered dual screen – I’ll take them!
Looks like 3d printing will be replaced first by 4d printing, then ultimately by 5d printing (is 6d and 7d next??):

Just to keep this going. Now that 3dPrinters.me is in my control what do you think I could get for it? I can tell you guys first hand its not easy being a future trend domainer. If I didnt have other domains that I could move I would have been a goner a long time ago. I do believe that holding on to the future trend domains can be rewarding down the road. The question is how long can you hang on for?
@David
My first question to you would be, how many domains are you holding onto? As you say, it’s not easy, especially during wave after wave of renewal emails from Godaddy! I suppose keeping the faith, continuous research into the field you’ve invested in, and keeping ‘realistic’ prices in mind should you get an offer. 3Dprinters.me is a worthy domain, I own 3Dprinting.me and have turned down a $1500 offer in the last 6 months. Hopefully, with the ubiquitous rise of 3d printers in the next couple of years, your domain might turn out to be highly valuable to the right company…or not 🙂

Sold PrintedFood.com on Sedo for $2300. Wasn’t expecting to sell a ‘3d food printing’ domain just yet!
@ 3Dprintman, Congrats! 3d printing heating up . . . “3d printer manufacturers stock” was one of MobileTech.tv’s top search terms for March 2013!
@ 3Dprintman
Congratulations on the sale. May you have many more to come.
Congrats 3DPrintman. Bodes well for those of us who have 3D food names (I have 3DFoodDesigns & 3DFoodDesigns.com.) I’m curious – did you pitch to the buyer, or did they find you?
@Louise, Leigh, Lucy
Thanks guys. I had an opening offer of 500 euros through Sedo and negotiated up from there. Interestingly the buyer cancelled negotiations when I stuck at my final offer 🙁 so I relisted it again closer to the price the buyer offered as a Buy It Now and he took it. Interested to see what the buyer does with the domain.
Responsive TV isn’t a searched term, but my little site blew up in February from about 600 uniques to 4,000. Did I remove robots text blocking crawlers? Did it get picked up by a famous news service? So, there were 4,000 visitors February and March, and this month already exceeds 6.000. May I get an opinion on how a little banner would look at the top center?
http://responsivetv.com/AdTrialResponsiveTV.jpg
@ Lucy? @ Printman? @ Leigh?
I put a little banner. Please don’t click on it!

I got an offer to sell allabout3d.com for xxxx but I turned down until I saw an article about 3d and even saw how it works.
3d printer will be in every household soon and it will replace the printer. It is just a matter of cost.
I copy and past the article on allabout3d.com -go read the future of 3d
the buyer wanted to use it to write /sell about 3d
my domain is worth more than allaboutcloud.com now.
@LM, Interesting article!
@Bull, Nice site!
3D Printing domains are at the same stage where cloud computing domains were 2 years ago. The Cloud domainers were laughed and looked at suspiciously by the domaining community and now its their turn to repent at leisure.
This article nicely sumps up the coming 3DP boom. Either you get in the boat or be left out. Choice is yours!
http://thisdomainnameisforsale.com/two-important-events-across-the-globe-3dp-tt/
@ 3D Domainer, Read the article and noticed the 3D print expo in China. All you 3D printer investors must be happy! I didn’t invest in 3D print domains, but went on a limb with, HybridRemote.com, though the keywords are still unknown!
I am glad I kept AllAbout3D.com and selling 3d products via amazon
Even Amazon is working on 3d stuffs.
yes, 3d will become big as the devices get cheaper and will be in every household.
As reported on DN Journal:
3DPrinter.com.au 5,549 AUD = $5,383 NetFleet.com.au 3DPrinters.com.au 5,549 AUD = $5,383 NetFleet.com.au
Not too shabby as I’m sure you’ll agree.
Especially pleased to see reported sale of 3dcity.com for 29,500 USD last week on Sedo.
Lucy Awesome sale Thank You,.. The game is starting to get interesting .
Hello 3d dome,
Yes there is a bright fiuture for 3d but we must digress to the REAL next big thing of which 3d is a subset.
The next Big Thing is the unleashing of the most powerfull future Marketing Trend that has been entrapped in the Google Matrix.
As you all know there has been a shelfing of new .COM businesses because of an incentive to remain enslaved future business leaders for pennies on the dollar, paid by the slave owners Google and other Search engine Slavers. You all know what this is about if you just remove the blinders .
The inventory of latent .COM business leaders is in progress. It will sweep Internet Expansion to new Heights. If you own 3d .COMs take heart if you own .Whatevers quickly reposition while the getting is good.
Gratefully, Jeff Schneider (Contact Group) (Metal Tiger).
@Jeff Schneider— WTF are you talking about!!
Your message is so confusing, symptom of domainer PTSD or multiple personality disorder
the “Jeff Schneider” character is an act im assuming at this point. im pretty sure this person is just trying to parody someone else.
unless somebody knows for sure that its a real person – the posts are too ridiculous and random to actually be serious.
@ Jeff said:
The question to you, Sir, is:
Will you give me the credit when I achieve this? 😀

@ David
The two 3D printing domains are both strong domains in my opinion David, not the strongest though, as I’m guessing those would be:
3DPrint.me &
3DPrinterstore.com
That said I hope they sell well for you and have every confidence that they will.
Much kudos to the organisers of Traffic for including these and putting some attention on 3D printing names too.
Congrats Giles
Congrats, @ Giles! Keep us posted on your sales! Good energy . . .

Leigh, just remember though, all but 3dPrinter.net were bought by the same person though
Still nice sales though
Really, do we know who that person is?
If 3Dprinter.net is a $60k sale what does that make the .com worth do you think, 500k+ ?
…and does that mean my 4Dprinter.net will eventually fetch the same?
@holotv.
I think you did well to sell 3dshoe.com for that price. I nearly caved in and sold 3dprintedshoes.com for $500 to the same buyer!

@Lucy
lol, that what I thought, there are more important things to worry about at the moment, Xmas, ice Storms, floods etc..I certainly don’t go around asking for a “thank you” from everyone I ever helped register a domain
@Future Trends
Just be happy someone registered a name because of you without looking for recognition…what if she registered the name on her own and not because of a post of yours
don’t get your little panties into such a bunch there giles.. just having some fun
… haha.. u think you’re some domain name vigilante or something
haha
learn to have some fun Mate
lol, you know that wasn’t a joke, Im just saying, there are more pressing issues than getting some to say “thank you”….after the the 4th post on it lol

Thank You Louise.
Oops! Somebody else registered it – that was fast! Congrats, @diana.
Oh, that was DM Partners – kudos. Glad it was one of us. Remember where you heard it!
I really like this name. You put it out there and I said If Louise likes it we should buy it , Just like the Bendy series. We bought BendyTab.com and MyBendy.com thanks to u. Smartpaytv.com Awesome I see a website smart pay.tv is up and running. I will always remember where this came from. Lets get the 3D.com cooking we have 100 of them
Did you see my latest acquisition, FloatingStores.com? Just started it. It is a project-wthin-a-project, because I was working on LiveAdvertising.net. Oh well. Wait until the new year.

All that 4k Streaming, and Panreatic, Liver, Kidney, Transplant video in 3d and glass-free will need storage.
That’s where I come in with my:
4kStorage.com
I also own:
4kTellys.com
(British for 4K Televisions)
Who are you, @3Dprintman? Thanx for the suggestion. LG came out first, though:
The World’s First Curved OLED TV
lg.com/sg/oled-tv-preorder/index
Domenclature, Soul.fm is definitely the jewel in your portfolio. 4kstorage might have a use some day . . . are there 4k storage units for sale? Would you post a link? Storage is usually described by amount, as in gigs . . . We need to separate the wheat from the chaff. 4KTablet is definitely a thing that describes the screen resolution, not the price of a tablet, lol, as in tablets cosing $4,000. I’m letting:
NFCBeaming
and some others drop. I learned my lesson with ing on the end. It’s not brandable. It’s an expression, but not every expression makes a company brand or a name of a physical thing which can be sold.
@Louise,
I’m shocked that you don’t know that any type of video requires storage, but I’m more stunned that you didn’t Bing or Yahoo it before you commented, you can even Google it, if you like.
Yes, Youtube videos are stored by Youtube; 4K TV Videos require even more storage. Scandisk and others are manufacturing 4K storage devices now. You’re gonna need them trust me.
Full 4K portable video storage is still a new concept for videographers and TV producers.
4,096 bytes of storage can hold 508 Stacks of a single item. or 260 Stacks, while holding 63 different items. The 4k Storage Cell uses 32 bytes…
When SanDisk spoke with us about the storage crunch 4K video will unleash upon mobile devices, Ron Javor, director of strategic business …
AND Louise, Soul.FM is not even the 1000th valuable domain name in my portfolio…NOT even close! Visit our store
@Domenclature.com
if you check the Sony website, 4K will just required standard storage, obviously2 a lot more of but it will just use the normal GB and TB we use now, so the storage wont change at all, so I cant see the term “4k storage” becoming mainstream
I think Soul.fm is the best domain in your portfolio as well
@gilescoley
Sony is irrelevant in this. I’m talking about products that are already in the market; with more on the way. I’ve been contacted twice, and I responded once.
Thanks for your enthusiasm of Soul.fm, but you are woefully wrong there too.
Sony is the biggest pusher of 4K TVs and will be the front runner in this area, how can you say they are irrelevant is all this….I assume LG, Panasonic, Sharp and Samsung will be irrelevant too
We have been researching this for ages and Sony will have their own 4K Ultra HD media player which will stored the movies, same with the other electronics companies
http://www.sony.com.au/microsite/bravia/4ktv/
Feel free to let us know which domain(s) you think are better than Soul.fm
Thanx for chiming in, @ Giles! The more, the merrier.
Thanx for filling out the understanding of your 4kstorage, @ domenclature, but I asked for a link where you can read the expression, “4k storage.”
@Louise
@Louise,
Watch Video here:

Then Google 4K Storage as well, over 36 Million results.
@Louise
“As with any form of tapeless production, there are two ways of transferring data from the camera to safe
storage for editing. Either the Director of Photography can use an on-board recorder, capturing files to solid
state disk or fast media cards, or use a workstation equipped with a 4K PCI capture card, such as
Blackmagic Design’s Decklink 4K Extreme. In either instance, state of the art hardware is required to deal with the massive data rates.
Data Rates
10-bit 4K (4096P), uncompressedmeans huge file sizes and demanding bitrates at 24fps:
Raw RGB + Alpha: 1 GB/s or 3.8TB/hour
YUV 4:4:4: 796MB/s or 2.9TB/hour
YUV 4:4:2: 530MB/s or 1.9TB/hour
Compressed 4K files are also challenging:
Apple ProRes 422 (HQ): 110MB/s
Sony XAVC (60fps 4:2:2): 75MB/s”
“Editing workstations, data ingest devices and graphics adapters all have to be top of the line to cope with these data rates. Arguably, however, the biggest obstacle to adopting 4K is storage.
The biggest obstacle to adopting 4K is storage
Firstly, sheer volume size is critical. But before considering the editing platform itself, tier 2 nearline and tape archives have to be readied to manage the massive influx of data. After all, there is no sense in filling a primary system with UltraHD footage, cutting a project but having no place to safely offload the files once it has been completed. Unlike with HD, where primary RAID systems can often hold a number of projects before space becomes an issue, in the 4K world, the capacity of tier 1 storage must be a consideration from the outset.
To prepare customers for this big data moment, GB Labs devised Echo 36, an easily expandable, fast nearline that ranges in size from 32 to 128TB and can be expanded to as much as 3PB. Echo 36 includes RAID protection and 2 global hot spare disks to give a high level of security. A recent addition to the GB Labs portfolio is the Cluster Manager that delivers huge capacities (up-to 30PB) with no single point of failure: entire storage nodes can be kept for parity to safeguard against any node failure.”
See: http://www.gblabs.co.uk/workflows/4k_shared_storage/
and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution
Hi, Good for you! At least, GBLabs is using that term . . . and it has meaning, though very specialized.
When there are a handful of companies producing one sort of tech, we need to walk on eggshells, I have found . . . It seems, management very much feels you are treading on their term to own the exact match of the product generic meaning, and offer to sell it to them, imo., especially when it is a niche business with only a few players.
What have we gotten ourselves into? I own exact match keywords for industry niches, where I have to overcome the, “squatter” label. Then, I have to educate the owner on domains, and the usefulness and authority of an exact match keyword. I picked the hard road, not the obvious one.
@Louise,
I own several 4K domain names like I stated. Including:
4KAccessories.com
And I have owned them for several years, relatively speaking.
But, tell me, why don’t you use search engines to look up stuff? Is it just shear laziness, or a protest of some sort?
We’re just having a discussion, and I wanted you to make your own point, not me have to make it. Lots of times I posted article links with my term in the title, because my portfolio gets insulted alot!
These kind of discussions, that do not denigrate into insult-trading and hurt feelings, teach analytical thinking removed from emotion, like the domain sherpa reviews. Did you watch one? It’s interesting to hear some of the top domainers’ feedback on individual domains . . .
So guys I have had a 4k TV since December 2013
I just got the new media player installed
The original came with a dell computer to store the movies
I have to say I don’t see a huge difference in the picture quality from a high end LED like the 70 pioneer elite which is now made by Sharp to the Sony 4k TV
The picture is better but I don’t think its any great shakes
“It’s interesting to hear some of the top domainers’ feedback on individual domains . . .” – Louise
@Louise,
Domain Name entrepreneurship does not have a top or bottom; some claim to be special at it. Most of them do NOT have a booth to piss in, or a window to throw it out of.
Domain Name business is like any other; time is everything. I pretty much figured out your lens aperture; you’ve been cajoled into placing people into some kind of pecking order, including their domain names. Be strong, make up your own mind. Don’t buy a name because, for instance, the future trend guy told you to do so.
@Berkens,
I need for you to enable image, and video posting, on this your blog in order to respond to the post above.
That 4K is better than HD is beyond debate. 4K can recreate the look of 35mm film digitally.
HD is a mere 1920 x1080p
Whereas
4K is 4096 (or 3840) x 2160 pixels
The programming you’re viewing probably isn’t sourced from a 4K storage, or streaming.
@Berkens,
There’s a great discussion about it here:
http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/6/5279150/vizio-announces-first-consumer-4k-tvs-kills-3d-support
Samsung and Sharp are showing their awesome 8K TV prototypes in Las Vegas this week. Pioneers like NHK in Japan are planning to basically skip 4K and go straight to 8K a few years later and save money on just one upgrade.
Its true that actual 8K resolution is probably overkill for most purposes however there is one awesome use that will come of it . Glasses free 3D – at 4K resolution.
I just wish theyd get a move on and roll it out so I can sell my 8k.tv domain and go on holiday its so freakin cold here 😀
8K
As I said I have a Sony $25K, 4k TV which comes with 4k content
I’m not saying there is no difference I’m saying its not that significant to my eye to be worth the money.
So if I had to do it again I would say the money and just go with a top of the line LED
Hey Mike – yeep I saw, I havent seen a 4K up close for comparison yet so I cant give a personal opinion – I respect yours of course, each to their own. I would also wonder like the previous poster as to whether the source material you assessed was a true 4K content, including whether it was horribly compressed etc.
I have read a lot of people’s reactions to the 4Ks at the CES show currently and last year. There are quite a few things sprouting up like this
http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/4k-resolution-201312153517.htm
and
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2013/10/ultra-hd-vs-hd-tv-is-ultra-worth-the-extra-money/index.htm
which lead me to believe 4K is definitely something that will get traction, unlike 3D – and probably unlike the whole bendable thing 😀
There is no doubt 4K will not only get traction but it will be the standard in a few years, probably be built into most TV’s
Actually here you go hot off the press game over

@Berkens,
Admit it, I am right again, and you were wrong. This time, within 24 hours you found out. The record is on this very thread, probably a few comments back.
I will like to ask you to do something that will set you great blog apart from the other domain name blogs. Listen to me; enable the video posting, java posting, picture posting on your blog today. Be a leader on this. Also remove the Do Not Follow stuff. Let people who visit and post on your blog benefit from it. You will thank me later. Don’t even think about it, just do it. Make your blog unique. Allow people to post any videos, photos, java, links, whatever….just let it hang out. DO NOT LISTEN TO SEO CRAPPERS.
Thanks

Hi guys,
may be little off topic ,
I have hand reg. cell3Dprinters today reading this article:
http://www.mdtmag.com/news/2014/01/regenovo-cell-3d-printer-showing-2014-ces?goback=%2Egde_145854_member_5827139529173123075#%21

Amoled_TV
Congrats! I already want to interview you over your multi-screen setup. You know, the term, dual-screen football is in use?
What 4K content did your tv come with? Did you watch football in 4K? the olympics will be broadcast in 4k. Sports is supposed to be better on 4k.
According to a review I read about your tv, the best viewing is within 20 degrees to the right of left of center. When you and Judi host a superbowl party, maybe artfully arrange stools, tall and short, center of the screen, behind the sofa.
@ Domenclature said: “Admit it, I am right again, and you were wrong.”
What are you talking about? Michael Berkens is very generous to host this thread. He writes creative observations, and allows lots of comments. You can post a youtube video. I don’t know how to post an image.
Here is the link to the review: http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/sony-lcd-tv/sony-xbr84x900a.html
The reviewer, Jack Burden, said you have to fix the Motion Flow setting since it is default.
Vizio’s under $1,000 4K tv is 50-inch, not 120-inch. 4k is less of an improvement on a small screen.
So, @ Michael Berkens, did you watch football, yet, on the 4K tv?
I have watched Football on the 4K set like I said I have had it for about a year already
@ MHB
I don’t think there’s any broadcast material filmed in 4k at present so you’ve probably been watching HD.
Your TV’s future proof that’s for sure.
@Louise,
Yes, Berkens is all those things you mentioned. But I must say it doesn’t help that he is insisting here that he has been watching 4K television for a year, and find 4K pictures indiscernible from HD. What should we do in such cases? Just let him keep saying that?
ON the topic of posting Youtube videos, that’s not all that should be allowed; if this blog completely ignore Google, and all the SEO experts, regarding rich content, and reciprocal exchanges, this blog will surpass Huffington Posts!
Whoever made the rule that links, promos, java, videos, photos, even occasional promotion of products, and services such as domain names for sale, is a self-interested glutton. Google was able to Balkanize websites and blogs by making sure people got penalized for these type of mutual benefits. If people gain something from coming here and posting stuff, they will come in droves. Then, the admin can enforce vigorous oversight and moderation for the wayward ones.
3D TV is dead, dead, dead……..
Did I calculate right? Is your tv the Sony XBR-84X900?

@ Alan. 3D TV may be dead but 3D prininting is in it’s infancy with a long way to go.
3dbuddy.com 750 EUR Sedo
3Dprint.com has just been sold to E and B AdvertisingInc. Wonder how much for?
@ Leigh Yes! Not may sale, just commenting on it. Great to see 3D names are starting to move at reasonable prices.
3D TV is not dead by any means. 3D TV with glasses is dead, When the 8K glasses free TV comes the game will then begin. The first run of 3D TV was a money grab . Next one will stick.
DMPartners said: “3D TV is not dead by any means. 3D TV with glasses is.”
You said it! Variety has an article, 3D TV: Not Dead Yet, and Getting Better, which seconds that opinion!
If only the future trend domainers can hang on. I have futr’s old domain, 4KRecorder.com, and mobile wallet has been in the news more and more, @Stu . . .
The future of 3D TV is Bendy or Dual Screen. That is why I hung on to DualScreen3D. The Bendy TV is immersive, and the Dual Screen might shoot out a hologram, so you can practically interact with it!
Wallet domainers – are there any left?

Chase uses the device on the video, above. It’s alot of work. I thought when I hand-registered a future trend, the companies would be all over it. But, I’m trying to create a directory on MobileWalletPOS, and the info is all over the place!
@ Tanglewood. Thanks for the update, nice sale. Congrats!
@Louise. Thanks Louise. Just to let you know I let all my AR domains drop (only about 10 in total).
Now all my domains are focused on 3D Printing. Mt portfolio isn’t huge, just under 100 domains.
Receiving lots of offers in the $*** but nothing juicy yet.
From the reports we’re seeing every week the level seems to be from high hundreds to low thousands for decent 3D Printing related domains at present but I’m confident we’ll start to see that increase as the industry expands.
What do you guys think I can get for 3Dprinters.me
Thanks,
Dave
Hi @ Leigh, You still have OurAR.com – one of my favorites of yours. Not just Google Glass, but other AR Glasses companies are making virtual reality glasses, and Google’s Ingress is a virtual reality game! That’s nice you are receiving offers on your 3d print domains.
Paying by mobile phone is still heating up. I’m glad I was inspired volts and stu to register a handful. Maybe they’ll become the most valuable subset of my portfolio, though I considered them throwaway, and wasn’t interested in developing them.

@ Louise
Some very interesting links, I definitely believe that AR will be an important aspect of tech experience going forwards and there is some pretty amazing stuff there!
The reason I’ve let my AR domains drop though is personally I see the term as being clunky and not brandable.
There are so many applications for AR that I don’t think what it is matters as much as what it does…if that makes sense.
With 3D printing I think it’s very different, the term is defining and people are already very aware of it.

Thanks Louise. Yes, I caught that article. Over the past few years there has been much more press about this in Europe. The developments in Graphene are finally getting more attention in North America. I actually have more than 30 Graphene names, which I list on GrapheneGuide.com. It will be interesting to see how it develops. I think Graphene filtering may be huge in the future. MIT has been doing work on this, and so has Lockheed Martin.
Did you catch the end of the article, which said Bill & Melissa Gates invested in graphene condom? Lol. I looked that up – some guy in France has been registering graphene domains – he’s on your tail with GrapheneCondom.com & GrapheneRackets.com.

Sharp debuts recorder for 4K TV shows

Now THATs a 4k recorder! The TU-UD1000 unit will have a hard disk recording capacity of 1TB, which means it will be able to store about 53 hours of 4K TV shows under the trial broadcasting system. That’s what you need to go with your 4k tv, @ Mike Berkens – a 4k recorder! Glad the dot com was able to stay within the family, so to speak, of future trend domain investors. Futrs dropped it, and I registered 4kRecorder.com!
Just spent the last hour registering the twitter handle, 4K Recorder, and the Youtube channel! I haven’t figured out what I am going to do, yet.
Look at the twitter site: http://twitter.com/4krecorder
It’s poetry to own the exact match twitter handle and youtube channel! The domain industry has watched me flounder around for years. But I’m still trying to carve my own path amidst changes, upheaval, and – can’t deny! – some disillusionment. Why am I so positive?
Hit me! I let DualChargers.com expire, and BestSmartTVs.com, because cigarette chargers for two devices is low profit, but I did a search, and dual chargers are big news for Tesla owners, electric car racing, and boating! Google search for Best smart tvs yields lists called, best smart tvs, and has many ads. I couldn’t let them go!

Do you want to know what I think will be unveiled at the Apple event September 9th? Haven’t heard or read about it. Some say, the iPhone 6, and perhaps a iWatch. But the Mercury News published an article desribing construction of a huge, 3-story temporary building, as an adjunct to the Flint Center of the Performing Arts, where is first unveiled the Mac in 1985:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B-XwPjn9YY
so, Apple indicates this will be of historical significance. I think I know, just like I discerned Facebook would rocket to at least 65/share, though, that took longer than one year. Do you want to hear?
Louise
As a Mac convert many years ago, Steve is deeply missed.
The larger iphone which as an older person I’m getting is at least 2 years over due, not that they aren’t going to sell a ton of them, but they could have sold a ton 2 years ago and not play catch up with Samsung, as far as the iwatch not a huge fan but Samsung beat them to the punch there too. I don’t see the temporary building moving the stock 1/8 of a percent
The long lost footage of Steve Jobs’ introduction of the mac shows what a master marketer he was!

The video didn’t appear on my previous comment, because you have to remove the, “s,” from the https to get it to show on your blog – appreciate being able to show the video!
This post is not an Apple post or anything in tech post, it is a post related to 3D, so let’s try to keep it on topic. Thank you.
All due respect, @ Raymond, don’t censure me on here, because this thread got to be a catch-all for all things future trend, such as augmented reality, flexible, or bendy display, graphene, 4K, mobile wallet, cloud, and more, with people sharing news of sales, or volunteering their hand regs. It’s part of conversation. Therefore, speculating as to Apple’s forthcoming announcement is pertinent to this thread. If my comment etiquette is rough, so you deleted my comment on your Apple announcement article, I apologize.
You would be deleting at least a third of the comments here, if you strictly kept the topic on 3D. Ask Mike.
Sincerely,
Louise 🙂

Sedo this week: 3dfashion.com 10000 USD
This sale (3dfashion.com) has less to do with 3D Printing and more to do with Augmented Reality.
That is not to say that the potential use could not to be 3D print. But in this case, it is not.
With Augmented reality, folks can stand in front of a 3D camera while virtually trying on cloths on sale at online and brick and mortar retailers and display themselves actually wearing the cloths on a monitor so they can see what “THEY” look like in them before they buy/order. This tech is already in use and about to go mainstream in 2015.
That may be. Augmented/Virtual Reality is hot. But 3D Fashion definitely has to do with 3d printing. Check out this 3D printed dress. It was acquired by the Modern Museum of Art. It is made of thousands of pieces.

5-in1 Acer Aspire Switch 12 – Whoa!
Well, This thread is several years old and still at it.
I do wonder about some of you who think things like 3Dpizza.com is going to have major value to any end user. But if you can convince some enough to flip it, than hats off to ya.
Those of you that have 3D domains in the Printer area will have to wait a few years yet for widespread adoption.
You will know it’s time when home users are buying sinter printers.
Those of you who still have 3D domains in the “media area” have some hope in value in the very near future.
Because many of you missed the other tech that died once and is being delivered to the masses as I speak and it’s called Virtual Reality.
3D domains in the area of media have a importance here. As other items like 3D omni-spherical video is about to be delivered for use with these devices.
Yes, 4k displays on your face and 3D cameras and media to feed it. There is no need to wait, it is happening NOW!
Have you missed this one also ?
It is very hard to hand registrar a domain in this area now.
But there are some still around if you use your imagination to the developments to come.
2015 is going to be a wild ride for domains.
This tech will usher in faster and broader than SMARTPHONES.
Did you miss it ? or are you smart enough to still be holding the VR domains of the past (90’s) from when the technology was never delivered. Part of the reason so many are skeptical now.
For reference, please google “oculus vr” and “samsung project beyond” for a start. You will soon see there are going to be major releases of this tech from very large company’s (google,apple,sony) and many smaller ones to follow. As I speak, Gear VR is being released from Samsung. The Oculus Rift (driving force in the market) probably in May of 2015. It is so big that Google lost many developers for it’s project glass to the VR development company’s. So that project glass will be extended for quite a while until the other boom with VR is over.
I manged to acquire 3dgoggle, argoggle and vrgoggle in .com’s before any of this started to take shape. But I now sport many 3d and vr domains as it relates to media and devices/tech used. Haptics is a area still open for domain investment.
my final $.02 on the matter as this launches !
Being the proud owner of 3DFashionNetwork.com would love to know how much 3DFashion.com sold for Thanks..
DM and Biotech domain owners, if you want to list them here or email me, I’ll create a list to include in an article for EmergingDomains, and if I send out a promotional snailmail and email.
You have
3Dmammogram.org
I have
Transplant3D.com
Thanks Louise, Yes we have 3DMamogram.org the .com was snatched up but being in the medical field it makes no sense.
HoloKing and Finedomains, Paul and Mary and Giles, your ship has finally come in!
YEP that’s what we envisioned when we bought the 125 3D.coms back in 2009 From 3DGlobalNetwork.com to 3DVirtualNetwork.com and everything in between. We saw that motorcycle sitting on our desk as we were logged on to 3D Motorsports.com . 3D .coms are soon to be worths hundreds of thousands of dollars . We are ready
Microsoft 10 just made all of the new GTLD’s worthless. Hows that for a domain extension killer.
How did it make the new gtlds worthless?
They were worthless before 10 came out now even more. The internet is going 3D immersive Dot Donuts and Dot Guru etc don’t fit the mold. Wait till Apple joins the party. I would not invest in the flooded market of worthless extensions ICANN is ripping people off . 1200 new worthless extensions. Waste of money IMO
In fact it may be time for the IRS to audit ICANN who claims they are a non profit organization. Would love to see the books and what they did with the 220 millions dollars they are collecting from the 1200 new GTLDs Does not sound like non profit to me.
Non Profits can make money, ICANN makes money for the non profit purpose it was set up for, Domain Names on the Internet.
Nonprofit corporations, by definition, exist not to make money but to fulfill one of the purposes recognized by federal law: charitable, educational, scientific, or literary. Under state and federal tax laws, however, as long as a nonprofit corporation is organized and operated for a recognized nonprofit purpose and has secured the proper tax exemptions, it can take in more money than it spends to conduct its activities.
In other words, your nonprofit can make a profit. Whether or not a nonprofit’s income is taxable depends on whether the activities are related to the nonprofit’s purpose.
Making a Profit From “Related” Activities
Tax-exempt nonprofits often make money as a result of their activities and use it to cover expenses. In fact, this income can be essential to an organization’s survival. As long as a nonprofit’s activities are associated with the nonprofit’s purpose, any profit made from them isn’t taxable.
Let’s take as an example a group called Friends of the Library, Inc. It’s a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (which means it has a federal tax exemption), organized to encourage the appreciation of literature and to raise money for the support and improvement of the local public library. It makes a profit from a lecture series featuring famous authors and from an annual volunteer-run sale of donated books.
Because these activities are educational and literary in nature, they do not jeopardize the group’s tax-exempt status, and the proceeds from them are not taxable. The organization may use this income for its own operating expenses (including salaries for officers and staff) or for the benefit of the local library. What it cannot do is distribute any of the income to the nonprofit’s officers, directors, or others connected with Friends of the Library.

Did you know every year, 1 in a 1000 infants are born with missing fingers, and about 9,000 children receive amputations from lawn mower accidents? State-of-the-art prosthetic replacements that are battery powered cost thousands of dollars and don’t work well, and kids outgrow them. Enter the Raptor Hand or the Cyborg Beast. They’re so cool, other kids want them.
Flexing the wrist pulls on cable tendons, so hands will open and close.
Now, kids who couldn’t formerly, because of missing a couple fingers, can ride bikes and play baseball.

3D Bioprinting of organs and tissues was featured on the “Moonshots for the 21st Century” episode of Fareed Zarakia’s GPS on CNN: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/stuart-williams-ph-d-featured-150413384.html
Specifically, they discussed the 3D-printing of a human heart and showed printed examples of ear cartilage and a meniscus (knee).
P.S. My top 3D domain… ‘3DTesting.com’
Well with so many 3d domains selling and still being registered as of sept 2015 this domain was a no brained to add to portfolio.
3-Domains.com
Maybe time to develop an all 3d domain venue?!
You might as well spend another $10 and register 3-DDOMAINS.COM.

DM Partners still has all of their 3D .com domains in fact we added about 30 more on the drop, we are at 150 3d.coms. We expect some action within the next 18 months as the Hololense and other AR and VR devices hit the market. Microsofts Hololense is an actual computing device with it’s own brain. We envision companies will enter the space through 3D.com domains. Right now developers are working on thousands of ideas to get there idea on the hololense platform. For those who have valuable 3d.coms do not under sell I just saw 3dtouch.com at go daddy for 150 thousand go luck lets break some new ground. I would think a 50 grand start would be good for anything 3D.com and I mean anything .
I see its listed with a BIN of $218,595
They are dreaming if they think it will sell for that…It sold fro $500 in 2011
I have the Touch3D.com, Ive had some offer with the highest being $1500, I rejected it
We bid on your Touch3d.com Giles on Go Daddy it’s at 750 now get that off and fast. Touch3d or 3DTouch is a great domain match the 3Dtouch.com asking price stay strong, Its like our Grab3d.com and 3DGrab.com just good words for the technology.
When did you bid on it?
Why do I need to take it off, its listed with “offer/Counter-Offer”, same as all my names
If you passed on $1500 than why play around at $750 We bid and never heard anything back from GD so we just forgot about it, This was a year ago, I would be asking at least 75 grand on that name. There is touch 3d technology out there,
Its just a minimum bid. They make a bid higher than $750 and I counter. It means nothing but keeps away all the lowball offers from other resellers
