There are new technologies coming out every day. One daily look at Gizmodo.com, and you'll see hundreds of new tech products being launched.
New techs, popular ones especially, can convert into mega bucks in terms of domains.
For instance, CellPhones.com was registered in 1996 - a time when no one knew if cell phones would be mainstream. That domain today is worth several million dollars.
Wifi.com was registered in 1999 - again, at a time when it was a new technology and you couldn't be sure of its viability in the future. Enter 2008, and wifi seems to be everywhere :smilewinkgrin:
So how do you separate the grain from the chaff in terms of new technologies? You can't obviously register every new tech product you come across. How do you take a measure of the future potential of a product? Do you go on your guts, or do you choose based on the mass appeal of a product?
