UDRP panel gets LivingSocal.com decision correct
Socal may be a typo of social.com, but it also means something. I frequently write about when UDRP panels make the wrong decision, and sometimes that’s the case even when they find for the respondent. Some domainers give me grief for it, but I ...

Some big names make domain purchases
Fortune 500 Yum! Brands among this week’s domain buyers. This week’s end user sales list is a little shorter than usual, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there were fewer end user buys last week. I generate this list by looking thr...
