In what I consider to be a pretty positive artcile on the industry, the Miami Herald Published a story covering the Domainfest auction.
Always good to see the mainstream media covering the domain industry.

That is one of the most fair, balanced articles I have read in a major media publication on a domain name event. Just facts. No hype, no personal bias against domaining. Just reporting. Very nice.

Hello Mike,
The very fact that Jeans.com did not sell, only proves to us all that the key word secondary market auction platform, along with industry valuations are not where they need to be for Key Word Addresses. There is a concerted and foolish resistance by the Marketing and advertising firms to quality keyword domains.
Like it or not, the marketing firms prefer branded names. I thought that this resistance would eventually wain, but it is not happening. All the B-School brainwashing remains intact and brands remain KING.
Gratefully,
Jeff

Very, very true and well said Jeff.

No it does not prove that. It just proves that no one at that moment offered what the Jeans.com owner wanted.
