Okay, so I had just confirmed my first power interview for Allthings.TV.

Not that this was my first interview, I had already done an interview with Bangarang TV, (http://www.allthings.tv/articles/33/...gtv/Page1.html) to favorable reviews and comments.

But interviewing a student film crew about a pet project and the spokesperson for Demand Media regarding the upcoming promotion of the .TV extension are two different ballgames. Especially when you take into account the fact that Allthings.TV didn’t get off to the best of starts with Demand Media.

As some of you may know, Allthings.TV covers a little bit of everything relating to WEB 2.0 websites, technologies and industry players.

As such we have an interview with DEMAND MEDIA, owner of ENOM.COM (number two domain registrar after GoDaddy) and websites such as EHOW.COM and WEHOW.COM that we will be publishing during the coming week and is look forward to reader comment on the contents of that interview.

I came across the following quote during some reading on dnjournal.com and thought I would relay it to our .tv followers:

“I moderated the second afternoon session on the Future of the Domain Name Aftermarket and had the good fortune to be assigned a panel that included Sedo.com CEO and Co-Founder Tim Schumacher, SnapNames.com Vice President Mason Cole and Fabulous.com COO Dan Warner, all widely recognized experts on this topic.

Schumacher said the market trends they were seeing at Sedo included diversification (into multiple TLDs), internationalization, lower transaction costs and higher levels of sophistication among buyers. At the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East conference in October, Schumacher introduced a domain rating system similar to the stock market’s Buy – Sell – Hold ratings. Schumacher currently has Buy ratings on .info, .us and other major ccTLDs and IDNs. He rates .com, .net and .eu as Holds (.eu was downgraded from a Buy rating in October). Schumacher advises selling .biz, .cc, .ws and .tv. 

Naming names in that manner will obviously make some people happy and leave others annoyed.  There has been a lot of buzz around .tv this year since DemandMedia’s eNom has taken over management of the registry from Verisign with big marketing plans ahead (starting with a .tv relaunch dinner in Las Vegas next month that I will be attending)…

In my daily search for quality .tv websites, I came across a site called Bangarang.tv. The most immediate features of this website that grabbed my attention are its weird name and stunning artwork.  Curious, I begin to explore the .tv website.

Initially, I notice that the site uses the Brightcove video platform to stream videos to site visitors.  I also notice the “art house” feel you get when viewing the videos on Bangarang.tv.
