In a wrap up of the recent HostingCon 2007 event, I discovered this passage:

In the presentation, the CEO and chairman of Demand Media encouraged the capacity crowd to rethink their approach to how they market hosting solutions to businesses and individuals.  Using his ChannelMe.tv venture as a focal example, Rosenblatt argued that Web hosts should sell the overall experience of hosted solutions instead of the more technical concept of hosting itself.

I am aware that Go Daddy representatives were at this event and probably took Richard’s words seriously…

If Richard is truly encouraging other hosts to “sell the overall experience of hosted solutions instead of the more technical concept of hosting itself,” then it should be no surprise that Bob Parsons, founder of Go Daddy, quickly began following Richard’s advice. 

Perhaps lowering the price of .tv (below the wholesale price or so some think) is the cost to catch up to Demand Media, which launched its own overall experience of a hosted solution in the form of ChannelMe.tv Maybe GoDaddy does not see itself competing on the same level as ChannelMe.tv with its Quick Blogcast, Quick Blog, and Quick Podcast products. 

For this reason, I look forward to the interview I anticipate having with Bob Parsons in the next few weeks.  Perhaps you have a question you might want to ask him.  Ask away!
