Last week, exoticcars.tv sold for $2,375 according to SEDO’s home page.  Following the most notable dot tv sales reported earlier this month, this is yet another strong sale for the extension especially considering that its a two-word domain name with a decent overture score of almost 20,000 for just the terms “exotic car.”

Late last month, Brightspot.tv shut the lights of to its website off to “develop the next iteration of the service,” which rewarded consumers for watching advertisements. For more info, see this article, which was courtesy of SKG of NamePros. 

More news after the jump…

Surf the blogosphere today and it is awash with the news of the five million dollar purchase of video blog Wallstrip, an irreverent blog on Wall Street and finance.

Some bloggers are saying that this is yet another sign of a Web 2.0 bubble with CBS forking over all this money for a nine month old company yet to show a cent’s worth of profit.

Others are stating that CBS are simply buying the talents (and looks) of Lindsay Cambell, the show’s host.

Other theories abound such as CBS is buying the blog founder Howard Lindzon’s brain. Fred Wilson, a blogger, friend of Howard and venture capitalist of 19 years describes Howard in his blog.

Joost is offering a limited beta program for its software to users with Intel-based Macs. The interactive software is used to distribute TV shows and other forms of video over the Web using peer-to-peer tv technology, which leverages the computer of users viewing video content to distribute the content to others. Created by founders of Skype and Kazaa, Joost claims to offer a new way of watching TV on the internet: “We’re in the process of making it as TV-like as we can, with programmes, channels and adverts.” Users can search for programming and channels, which are currently much like playlists of videos that allow users to change channels.

Users can also use an built-in program guide to choose a channel or a video, the company says users may also see an occasional advertisement. Joost also includes social networking features, such as integrated chat. 

Last year, I attended a trade show in Vegas and we were among only a handful of companies acquiring video content. This year was different.

There were ten times as many doing documentaries, news coverage, or reality television. Most were all doing this for the Internet. Of course, ESPN and SPEED were there (I am involved with the automotive industry and this was the biggest aftermarket trade show).

I have more info I need to get up on the site so you can read some of the latest headlines and some .tv sightings that will be of interest to the .tv community here. I continue to learn of new Internet TV operations that have $XX million dollar budgets when I attend events like this and speak to other directors and producers.
