Wider web opportunities

Some people say it’s too late to enter the domain market as they start with the premise that all the good names have gone. However, to this day I am still finding excellent opportunities and hidden gems. There’s a never ending flow of buzzwords, fads, celebrities, news and technologies to keep us going for a long time.

Moreover, through natural progression, domainers increasingly transform themselves into webmasters. Taking a tiny subset of their best domains and building them out into virtual properties; moving from parking to applications and content. In this sense, the global village can still be seen as very much in it’s infancy.

For me, one of the biggest clues to the future explosion in web development and consolidation is when I see obvious destinations as either under-developed or non-existent. Take, for example, thailand.org… previously bought in March 2007 for $10,000 yet in 2009 there is no web presence! For sure, it is the owners prerogative to do (or not) with their property as they choose. Right now, their main objective may simply be capital gain on resale.. who knows.. but the opportunity for this great domain to be developed is surely an itch that must be scratched?
