Hi Everyone,

Good stuff....thanks for the post "Wot" & "Giles"

I am up to my ass...in 3d news etc...

I have been putting off a news blog with news mostly about: domains tech, IPTV, 3D domains and news, financial, politics (for a least a year)

Time to start....

If anyone know of a really good up to date: Word Press CMS (Content management system) ~ Please PM..If you know of anything good...I am NOT Very Technical....so things like WP....or another easy CMS application would be good.

The domain I am going to use is: ViralWordOfMouth .com

____

As far as 3d goes, I would like to start the 1st "3d video content uploading site...for 3d videos only...

I need a JV Partner that has some expertise in this area...as I do not want to be getting sued like "youtube" for using 'copyrighted content or videos.

I like: ( just beacuse I own this domain and it is "short" ~ "brandable" )


viral3d .com

Please PM Only If You have "Serious Interest Only" abut this Idea

OK, to "rag on it" if you want in this thread...if you do not like the idea...but if you want to "figure something out with me"...("PM" Only...please)


That's the stuff I have been looking at a thinking about... other than I have to do something (develop) with: 3ddomainnameslaes .com

So much "3d" new is coming out and other news I have been giving out to a select few people over the past 1-2 years...that I have to start the blog and just post what i have done privately....I will be "hand posting" 99.9% of it myself.


Onward...I Hope! (LOL),
Dan

As you can see from my sig, I prefer 3D to 3-D, but thats a personal preference....

Hey...I used to own Wogin.com, only about a year ago I think, did I sell it to you on NP or did I let it expire??

Hi,


any thoughts on "3-D" instead of "3D"

I like "3D".... But I think using in front in some cases is not always the best...I think you can use it at the "end" or some where in the middle.

If I could get a domain like: "3-D movies .com" or something...I would take it...but for the most part...you end up just giving the person with "3dmovies .com"...FREE traffic...if you really "develop and brand and advertise the "3-D" domain name.

I also see "3D-"

If you check just "news articles and things...there are a lot that use "3-D"...

But domain names Always seem and are better without the "-"

BUT> BUT,

At the same time...this does seem a bit 'tricky'.


I checked "Google Keywords tool and and one other search term tool .... and most keyword searches seem to favor "3D" by far.

However Google's "keyword tool"....shows (as an example)

3d avatar @ about 12K Global monthly searches
3-d avatar @ aboout 33k Global monthly searches


So anyone feel like playing,,,"Craps"....LOL

Best,

Dan

Although the preferred hyphen configuration in print/articles seems to be 3-D, my personal experience is that market seems to prefer the 3D- configuration (I've sold none of the former, but several of the later 3D- variety... Has anyone else had the same results?)

Also, for some reason - with non-hyphenate 3d names - European buyers seem to like their 3D at the end of the domain, while North American buyers opt for it at the beginning... Go figure?! :)

Namesbond...great post !!...

Thanks much for the honest first hand insight on your experiences selling "3D-"

Also, for some reason - with non-hyphenate 3d names - European buyers seem to like their 3D at the end of the domain, while North American buyers opt for it at the beginning... Go figure?!

That's why I ask if anyone wanted to shoot "Craps".... I have had 'headaches' over which to use and where to use it in the domain.

Very interesting about NA & Euro......

I do not have enough $$$ to go back and get everything I have in "3d" also in "3D-" (LOL)

That does not comes total surprise... but at the same time it 'kinda does'. "-" has always been a hard sell...but I did think in this case it might be different story.

I think "3D" will still be more than fine as far as domain names....

But All the information you posted is great information....man... I had and have gone over & over as many combination's in my head, written them out etc..

Most I have are..."3D" at the start, middle & end.

The 3d- I have a few...the one I did not go with at all is 3-d*****. com

Great Info...thanks for the reply..."several sales of "3D-" (Very Nice! Congrats...seems to be a "market forming")



Best,

Dan

Hi NamesBond...

Glad I could be of assistance!

Cool... you were/are... :cool:


BUT,

:lol: ~ you cost me some money with the "3d- thing" ~ :cool:


Just had to hand reg a couple more... a few example(s)

3d-domainnames .com
3d-domainsales .com

( I already like them more than my: 3ddomainnamesales .com (lol) )



_______

Look at the amount of keyword searchs for 'funny video' ~ 'funny videos' in "Google alone" ( I do not think that includes 'youtube search's"....just the main SE.

"3DFunnyvideo(s)" versions have been taken for a long time...I checked a month or two ago.

SO,

3d-funnyvideos .com
3d-funnyvideo .com


All "content" ends up on video in one form or another... sooner or later...full form, clips, movie trailers, etc...from movie studios, media giants and TV company's, you, me and every Internet Marketer in the world.

And with the 3d cameras already coming out or in the works...and the "No Glasses" ..hopefully becoming a reality fast...

Maybe they will be OK....


:upset: No worries..."NB"... I can take the hit on these.... like a man if they do not work out... :eek:k:


Peace,
Dan

I have had a success in selling 1 3D related domain name at Sedo (3DMarkers.com).

Plus, I got offers on 2 names (3D-House.com and 3DPhones.org) in High $xx and Low $xxx ranges resp., but I decided to be a bit more patient.

Overall, I am positive about selling my 3D domain names for good profit.

Tech giants dive together into mobile 3D technology pool

Computer chip maker Intel and mobile phone giant Nokia have teamed up to establish a joint laboratory to concentrate on developing mobile 3D technology.
The lab comes under the aegis of Intel Labs Europe, the company's network of research facilities based on the continent, and is part of the University of Oulu, in Nokia's homeland of Finland.
Among the technology the two companies are known to be collaborating on is a way of enabling mobile phones to display 3-D holograms of the person being spoken to when making a call.

Rich Green, Senior Vice-President and Chief Technical Officer for Nokia, said: "3D technology could change the way we use our mobile devices and make our experiences with them much more immersive.
"Our new joint venture with Intel draws on the Oulu research community's 3D interface expertise, and over time will lay down some important foundations for future mobile experiences," Green added.
The first projects being worked on will be designed for the new MeeGo joint software platform which the companies unveiled at the Mobile World Congress earlier this year.

No more details have emerged of what is specifically being worked on, or when the first fruits of the joint efforts will be available.

Thanks gilescoley, I appreciate the advice.

I probably won’t renew:

3dWithNoGlasses.com
3dWithoutTheGlasses.com

I am still learning and thought I would take a punt. Does anybody think any of these are worth renewing?

323dTv.com (I got these based on similar searches for lcd TV’s that do well at present hoping that the searches for 3dtv’s would be as good some day, for example “32 lcd tv” gets 165,000 exact google searches)

32inch3dTv.com (“32 inch lcd tv” gets 74,000 exact google searches)

3d32InchTv.com

3d32Tv.com

3d42InchTv.com

3d42Tv.com

3dBelfast.com

3dEdinburgh.com

3dMonaco.com

3dPlaying.com

3dRolePlaying.com

That’s all I registered 3d wise, I think perhaps I came a bit late in the day, but if nobody thinks any of them are worth keeping then I won’t renew them.

Many thanks

Yay .... DNF allows 3D discussion.

Sorry for the sarcasm .... I have a question about brandable 3D names.
Is the 3D niche strong enough yet to support common branding tactics ?
Such as prefix and suffix populars like "i, x, z" etc.... Take 3D graphics.
This is a strong keyword 3D name. Would the market support 3D graphix,
graffix, graphicz etc .... ?

I don't see a lot of these regged and I know the popular trend is in dictionary
keyword product names but I actually have more success selling brandables
and feel big end users tend to use "brandables" as the mother ship so to say.
They will use the keyword dictionary product names to support services and
products.

My position is mostly traditional or old school. My keywors are "animation, animated,
graphics, rendering, games, movies" but I'm eye balling a couple of brandables.
I'm wondering what your thoughts are or your position on brandable 3D names..

Just curious - how did all of you manage the renewals of the domain names in your portfolio?

I mean , let's say one holds 100 3D domains and 50 of them are about to expire (in 1-3 months) - so how did you decide on which ones to renew and which ones to let go (sell/expire)?

I renewed many of my .coms like 3D-Desktop/com , 3dLedMonitors/com , 3dPhoneReviews/com , 3D-House/com , 3dLogoCreator/com etc. and spent $xxx on renewals.
My portfolio being smaller than others here, it was quite easy for me to manage the renewals.

I would like to know how the big players do it :D

Lol, you just reminded me of something

[FONT=&quot] Nerd 1: The refuge of the damned.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] Martin: [gleeful] A place where we can work on our extra-credit[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] Nerd 2: Come! You must be tired from the chase. Oliver! [claps][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] Bring our friend a hard-boiled egg and some prune juice.[/FONT]

I hope this thread is somewhere we can discuss our 3d domains without fear of reprisal!

Thanks again gilescoley I was having second thoughts whether to keep any of my 3d domains, I must admit I did kind of regretted my 3d geos, to be honest they probably weren’t on my list of keepers, I was considering 3droleplaying.com, I was just wondering do you not like 3dplaying.com? I was sort of considering keeping that too, but maybe I was wrong. You see and this relates to what you are saying rdthewall, I have invested in about 100 madcap future technology domain names (see my domains of the future thread if interested) and am trying to cut my list down to the bare minimum of what is likely to be worth keeping, otherwise I am looking at about $1000 a year (without discount coupons) in renewals, so I am now trying to reign in my adventurous speculative activity with some sound conservative analysis, as conservative as you can be when it comes to the kind of things I have took a punt on, I know I am crazy, but yeah although I don’t know much about domaining, you can probably tell that by some of the domains I have bought, I am starting to learn that domainers have to be pretty tough when it comes to what they renew and what they don’t or else any profits can be taken up in renewals.

You're welcome, I dont own any GEO names but I think there could be some potential with building 3D tourism sites...I could be totally wrong though

3DPlaying.com - Not sure about that one, could be worth a gamble seeing that Gaming imo will lead the 3D charge, but it just doesn't seem to make sense to me, maybe Playing3D.com would have been better?? RolePlaying is at least a common phrase in the gaming industry.


Just curious - how did all of you manage the renewals of the domain names in your portfolio?

I would like to know how the big players do it
rdthewall, I think the trick is to only register names that you know you would renew in 12 months time. I have made the same mistake and I am having a hard time selling some of my .US names, even good names like 3DPlayers.us, 3Drecorders.us and 3DChannel.us (pm me if you 're interested)

Namenut, I think there will be a big market for 3D brandable and catchy names. Its one of the main reason I grabbed a brandable name like eHolo.com, seeing that the big firms are now developing holograms and holographic phones (lets no turn this thread into a Hologram/Holographic thread, just an example) - Its just coming up with good catchy names relating to 3D I guess??

Article I found, may have been posted already

Sony believes half of TVs made in 2014 will be 3D

Sony believes that half of all televisions made in 2014 will be 3D-capable, according to comments made by a senior Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) exec at this week's GamesCom event in Germany.
Mick Hocking, Senior Director for SCEE's Studio Liverpool, predicts that the high launch prices for 3DTVs and consumer's dislike of ugly 3D specs will are just temporary issues and will not limit the take-up of the tech in the next few years.

Gaming to drive 3D adoption
Hocking is obviously a man that wants 3D TVs to succeed, as he is in charge of PlayStation Worldwide Studio's 3D development.
He makes the bold prediction that predicts that half of all televisions made in 2014 will be 3D-capable, and that the prices will drop considerably as economies of scale kick in.
"I think 3D gaming is huge. There are many, many benefits that 3D brings to games, but in general it enhances your sense of immersion. Your eyes pick up a lot more information than with 2D," said the SCEE Director.
"If you do produce 3D games in the right way it is a stunning experience and justifies the need to put glasses on and buy that TV. If not done well it's just used to add depth, or worse, it can put people off.
"3D done right isn't just about adding depth to a scene it is a creative medium. There are choices about how much depth you put into a scene depending on what you're after, whether it is to create a sense of suspense or vertigo."

3D cameras and movies
FujiFilm is one of the first consumer camera brands to support 3D, launching its latest 3D-capable camera earlier this month. And lots more 3D Blu-ray discs are set to arrive in stores very soon, in time for the busy Christmas holiday season.
Yet it is gaming that Sony hopes will drive the mass adoption of 3D in our homes. And as for the games that will make 3D TVs seem far more desirable to the average punter, Hocking admits:
"My completely unbiased opinion is Motorstorm Apocalypse. Killzone 3 has a great sense of vertigo, especially in the jetpack levels, but Motorstorm has things blowing up all around you and past you."
