How many of us hear of a great new site from our friends and business aquaintences only to promptly forget about it the next day?

It took me nearly 11 years since the birth of the internet to find out what all the fuss was about. Everyone I knew had dial up access but it was not until I entered the job market and had access to high speed internet that I actually got myself connected at home. For a couple of years prior, I would always go to an internet cafe to check up on my emails…..

As a part time domainer who entered the industry in May of 2006, I realized I had missed the boat big time as far as being able to buy or trade in any decent dot com names. Way out of my league, I was about to ditch when I heard about the dot tv extension.

Realizing that the “tv” brand would make sense given where the internet was headed, I managed to make a decent profit from the extension that was heavily undervalued at the time.

I was still  six years late, as the extension was created in 2000, but still early enough to have a decent portfolio of names.

Where am I going with all this?? Well, I remember telling myself that I had to be part of the action at the START of the next big thing…..

To be continued
