The online domain marketplace Pool.com is teaming up with Neustar, the operator of the .BIZ registry, to auction off a number of very rare 2 character .BIZ domains.  The auction of more than 1000 2 character domain names will occur as a phased release from November 30th, 2009 through February 2010.  The list of two-character domains is available at www.twodotbiz.biz.

Bido once again had technical issues when attempting to rerun the FixedLoans.com auction. According to Sahar Sarid Bido will be closing up shop indefinitely until they can resolve the issues.

I really like the concept and hope they can get up and running again soon.

Bido.com, the 1 domain-per-day, 1-hour, no-reserve auction website crashed just after 2pm EST today during the auctioning of FixedLoans.com. Apparently the site was done in from a combination of massive traffic and a new chat implementation. As I was participating in the auction, I had first hand experience of the crash. The last bid I could see before the site stopped updating was around $5600 with about 4 bidders still in the mix (although there could have been more as my bids were not registering).


Bido will rerun the auction of FixedLoans.com tommorow as a regular auction, one hour, starting at $1 - no reserve. Here’s hoping they fix the technical issues by then.
