    Looks interesting. I would love to make it but don’t think I will make the time. Perhaps if they ever do it out west. Preferably Vegas or Phoenix.

    I expect the Castello’s will be great as well as Ron Jackson.

    Vegas.com is a HUGE brand so I bet Dan Hippler knows what he is talking about.

    Is NewYorkCity.com a large enough brand to justify a contributing speaker I wonder. I recognize that it is probably one of the best domains in the world, but is it successful enough to tell others how to do it? I can’t find a single comparative site that says it gets more than a handful of visitors a month.

    Oh well, just a thought…

    I bet the AutoSales.com presentation will be very interesting as well.

    Best of luck with the show.

  3. Troy says

    Ohhhh…. Never mind. It looks like NewYorkCity.com is also NYC.com and NYC.com has not only a great domain, but a well known brand.

    @Troy
    Believe me, Sean Miller (NewYorkCity.com/NYC.com) alone is worth the price of admission. His monetization strategies are nothing short of brilliant.

  6. Steve M says

    David–hope you guys video/DVD (or at least CD) at least the speakers presentations for sale.

    Would make a mint for your org; for years to come.

    Don’t need anything fancy; a single camera aimed at the speakers is plenty if you go video

    Here’s your first sale.

  7. David J Castello says

    @Troy
    In that 2001 NY Post article the woman from the city said she would bid $1. Sean told me that lame joke ticked him off so much that he decided then and there to pull the sale and develop the names. He proceeded to make millions.

  8. Troy says

    That is hilarious David! Thanks for sharing the story.

    In the end I think we all know he made the right choice.=)

    I’d love to go but I’d probably be laughed out of the room with my third rate geo .co’s.

    Any opinion on these?

    Brussels.co
    KualaLumpur.co
    Lille.co
    Bologna.co
    Torino.co
    Modena.co
    AddisAbaba.co
    Bamako.co
    Monrovia.co
    OKC.co
    Burundi.co
    Chennai.co
    FrankfurtAmMain.co
    Hannover.co
    Nuremberg.co
    Kampala.co
    Natal.co
    TheNetherlands.co
    TheHague.co
    BarHarbor.co

    I know they are all .co so many of you think they are all worthless but I really like to develop geos and I’m wondering which ones would be the best to start with.
