   Nice interview Mike.

   First off congrats to Mike Berkens on the sale Moon.rocks.

   Also, the Autism.rocks sale surprises me very much. Especially having someone come in with such a HIGH starting offer…I guess anything can happen though right?

   Page mentions “the power of one”. Great concept. He mentions car shopping and how you can just go to another dealer to get the very same car elsewhere. With domains though, this is not the case. As a domain owner, if you have the very best version of a domain name, that’s it! YOU have it. Sure, there are other alternatives a buyer can look to acquire but more than likely if you have that category killer #1 option type name, it cannot be found elsewhere. It is only available through you.

   Thanks for the interview Mike.

   Great show guys. Can you ask again which Sherpas are going to THE Domain Conference in September? The answers got cut off.

   Thanks!

   Great show, I personally think that Sedo will donate the money, cheapest way to increase their goodwill. Other than that, great show guys. Have a great weekend.

   Thank you, Mike, Page, Andrew and Mike Cyger.

   I have many friends in the ISP/telecom industry, as well as a few website developers, so I asked a couple of them if they’d heard about other extensions beside the TLDs, one of them says he sees a lot of spam coming from .link .us, .eu, and .ru. and a few other ccTLDs. So I asked him if he’d visited websites with extensions .club, .xyz, .xxx and a few others, he said he’s never heard of those but he’ll “check it out”.

   I asked a non-techy friend who often shops online, he’s never heard of anything besides .com, .net, .org, and .edu, hasn’t even heard of .mil

   My take on the gTLDs is that they are speculative at this point, and being bought and sold mostly between domain investors, of course there are a few websites with some powerful names, but that’s about it, I don’t see a massive surge towards a .club, .flowers, and others. The issue with gTLDs is that they are not only a niche gTLD, but in some case they are a particular product within that niche, this is major restriction in my opinion.

   meet.me forwards to meetme.com. .com is king after all.

    Thanks all for a great video :)

    gTLDs are leaving quite a positive impact on the market. The internet is evolving.

    The biggest change will probably come when gTLDs become more of a “standard” not to domainers and investors but to the general public. People who want a wine club type in wine.club instead of wineclub.com.

    Great Domain Sherpa discussion as always thanks.
    Just wanted to add that we sold (via Afternic / GoDaddy)
    MoonRocks.com which we have had since 2002.
    This just recently sold for $13,000
    Probably the same buyer as Moon.Rocks?
    Interesting to see which he will use for his main website
    Ian.
