Came across this site site today, http://www.meivo.tv/, which sells an interesting device.  Check out the video if you are interested in learning more about hte product:

EDIT: I was notified by a fellow domainer that the numbers on the website mentioned below are out of date.  Please do not rely on them.  The website has not been updated in almost a year.  Please do not rely on this data as it is inaccurate.

With the surging popularity of dot tv names, it should come as no surprise that the number of registered dot tv names is approaching half a million (500,000).  At the moment, DomainWorldwide.com is reporting that 473,168 dot tv names have been registered.  Out of all domain extensions, .tv ranks 11th, but it could easily increase in rank to…

Sedo.com reported that JazzOn.tv sold for $4,433.  Great to see the extension is doing well.

I am fascinated by the sheer amount of knowledge required to buy a domain, to setup and host that domain on its own dedicated server, to build and host a website, to generate content that draws traffic from search engines, and to produce a monthly income stream with that domain and website.  If you thought that was all you needed to know to be successful and make a decent amount of money, then you are dead wrong.

You might be able to eek out a couple bucks a day at best, but smarter Internet dogs are feeding on the bulk of traffic related to your strongest keywords and enjoying the free revenue that comes from every last visitor sent from from search engines at no cost. 

If you want to leverage the playing field and start eating the lunch of your .com competitors instead of letting them eat your lunch, then you should become a student of SEO to attract the largest stream of free search engine traffic to your .tv site (or your domain from another extension)…

I came across Reason.tv today and probably something worth watching develop since its is a non profit according to the site:

Reason.tv is part of Reason Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) charitable research and educational foundation that also publishes Reason, the nation’s largest and most influential libertarian magazine.  Reason.tv is supported in part by generous contributions from Ken and Frayda Levy, The Donald and Paula Smith Family Foundation, and Rich Dennis.

Reason.tv actually appears to be the home of the Drew Carey Project…

Bodis is on the verge of losing my business since the company cannot seem to get its act together with respect to those honest domainers using their system.  Bodis took the parking industry by storm by being the first to market a 100% revenue share parking program that most domainers with a decent portfolio could belong to.

Bodis was the first to do this and initial reports from domainers were very positive (including my own).  But like all good things that must come to an end, Bodis has as well…

When I left a career that virtually guaranteed my future on June 2nd, 2006, my friends, colleagues, and family thought I was crazy to jump ship, giving up my current income, to pursue something risky, unproven, and requiring lots of labor and capital.  My partner and I had started the company a full 9 months before I left that career to put all my effort and hard work into a company that was expected to generate income for my pockets not some guy I worked for.  The wrinkle was that the company was not currently profitable, required more capital infusions from us, and LACKED A WRITTEN BUSINESS PLAN…
