Continue ReadingProtect your domain names
Two pieces of news I read prompted me to think that companies must carefully protect their domain names. The first one was actually a recruitment ad by American movie studio 20th Century Fox for a domain manager. The second one was about the domain name 864.com being stolen in China. The position of domain manager […]

I was having a three way conversation with two other domain investors about esports.
