Today’s Catch of the Day from the daily domain drop was BocceWorld.com. I love playing bocce ball. We used to play on the small green outside the main Budapest metro station between teaching jobs. A friend of mine had a really nice box set he used to carry around in his pack.

“Bocce” gets 165,000 searches at Google and there’s no abiguity about what people are after. Bocce.com is owned by the United States Bocce Federation and the other Bocce generic and brandable domains are owned by NetShops.com and a few other independent merchants.

At BocceWorld.com you’ll find a quick-and-dirty eBay affiliate store I put up in about 5 minutes. I’m improving the template for these stores all the time and will be highlighting more as they go online.

I received an email today that one of my domains submitted to the GeoDomains auction will be a Featured Domain for the next 6 days until auction’s end.

Elliot just blogged about some other names being added. Anyone else get an email from Aftermarket.com?
BeveryHillsGifts.com will be listed at ZERO reserve. Check the auction list …

I chose the domain ResidentTourist.com for my domaining blog. What do you think? Two ‘T’s together? Oh, I know… but it is catchy, no? I thought about using my NameStew.com, but that sounded too much like a Chef Patrick spin-off, lol.
Anyway, I’ve just applied to be aggregated by NameBee.com — my Domain News reader of Choice. Crossing my fingers!
Oh, GoDrops.com fans don’t worry. I’ll still be running that site. I just needed a different space to have my take on …

Andrew from Domain Name Wire and Elliot from Elliot’s Blog have weighed in on the GeoDomain Expo, now it’s GoDrops’ turn!
This was my first domain conference, so I had really little to go on other than being familiar with a few of the personalities on the various panels. Setting up GeoRevolution.com was a good idea and made a great ice-breaker during the expo.
The first person I met very early before the first breakfast on Lexington.net. He had a novel business …

Wish me luck getting down there tomorrow! Don’t worry if I end up on the side of the road, the GoDrops scanners will still be plugging away for drop-time. Maybe I can get a projection screen and have a 10 foot tall Live Chat + Drop tomorrow =)
The Daily Drop will occur during the “Dailies: They’re gone, now what?” session. That’s where I’ll be. I will check in to see how the drop is going, though. On Saturday during Drop …

I’ll be trotting down to San Diego later this week for the GeoDomain Expo. This will be my FIRST domain conference — first of many if all goes well. While I’m there, I’ll be twittering, blogging and chatting on my new social platform that I’ll be rolling out later today.
I really believe in GEO – not just because I’m a cartographer by training — but you’re not getting anything for free unless you’re holding premium city/country names. Long-tail GEO domains …
