More interesting news...Google seeks to prevent its adsense program from being exploited by domainers that engage in name tasting...what is it, why people do it, and why Google wants to stop it, all afte the jump…

If one company can pull it off, a domain name stock market would be amazing. 

Unfortunately, just as there are multiple financial stock markets, there will be multiple domain name stock markets. 

I caught up today with a friend who is both a domain investor and developer, he told me about Fusu, a new website that claims to be “The Domain Stock Exchange.” No word on whether the site will be dot tv (.tv) friendly unlike many of the current auction sites, but only time will tell.

How does Fusu work?

As with a traditional Stock Exchange, Fusu allows its participants to get liquidity from their assets. On Fusu, holders of a premium domain (i.e Vodka.com) can devote a fraction of their domain to the market and immediately get money out of it without having to give up its control at any time.

With its roots in televised home shopping shows, ShopNBC.com was a natural to lead in the use of video online. More than 30% of the items on the site feature 30-second to 1-minute video demonstrations, and customers who watch them convert at twice the rate as other visitors to the site, says Geoff Smith, vice president of Internet.

“That`s a really innovative feature,” says Chris Vicente, senior retail practice manager at consulting firm BearingPoint. “When you go to a web site, even if there are multiple views of an item, you actually want to see the product in action.”
