Frank Schilling will be keynoting the Domain Roundtable next month. The most well known Domain Investors in the world, Frank Schilling will take us through his humble beginnings all the way to how he got to where he is. With over 320,000 domains in his collection, he is not resting & continues to buy. I love looking through his portfolio because he has so many generic killer domains. I am always stumbling on his domains, like for example, today I looked up Reverse Whois.com and who should own it, none other then Frank’s company Name Administration. I guess I will use a different name for our new service. It is funny how small the domain world is, when you can look up a domain and it is owned by someone you know it proves the world is very small or Frank is very big.
Frank will be doing some Q&A with the audience after his Keynote on Monday. One of the questions people love to ask him is, “Is there still room for people to follow in his foot steps?”. I will not spoil the answer… ok, I will spoil it. The answer is, Yes. So come be a part of a fabulous conference and learn from the best.
Early on Monday the 13th before the keynote, Frank will be participating on the Domain Industry Roundtable discussion with Sahar Sarid and Adam Strong. The treo will be speaking about how the Industry is changing and where things are moving.
To read Frank’s Personal Blog check out Seven Mile.com or 7 Mile.com, Isn’t that clever. He got both versions.

Hey good idea to invite Frank to the conference.
This way you willl have few days to try to convince him to sell you ReverseWhois.com (and at a reasonable cost).
Everyone know that Name Administration don’t sell his names and recently Frank confirmed this fact in his blog.
So I do not know until which level Frank is your friend but few days under your hands is probably not too much to try to convince him.

Kidding again…

Jay, if you were really interested in “ReverseWhoIs.com” perhaps you can offer to trade one of your generic domains with Frank. Let him take his pick.

UPDATE BY JAY: HA! That would be scary. I don’t need the name that bad. I was just making a point about how small the world is. I look up names all the time to see who owns them and it surprises me how small the world is because you will find that your friends own them.

Hi Jay,
Why were IDNs taken out of the conference. There is alot to discuss about them. It is another opportunity for domainers to get rich. The foreign markets such as Japan and China are emerging and the time to invest is now as prices continue to climb.

UPDATE BY JAY: Lack of demand.
