Hi Gang,
As most domainers know, I was one of the few domain buyers looking at the 3D and Future Trend domain buying strategy back in 2004. I also let the cat out of the bag when it was sleeping just fine in there. I revealed my strategy on Monte Cahn’s “DomainMaster Radio” interview in October 2006.
Guess what? For all you old-timers, it’s time to “Erase Your Head!”
Those future trend domains are now maturing faster than expected and have started selling nicely, thank you. My domains were purchased from mainly OOTB, but I also bought domains from private sellers and in auctions and domain “listing” sites, like Buydomains. I got very good prices from all because most of them weren’t keyed in with information I was reading daily in my “future tech” science report searches.
A good buddy and brilliant domainer, Michael Berkens (Em-Bee) posted an article on his blog TheDomains.com about the emergence of value in 3D domains over 3 months ago that has now reached past the 550 (!) comment mark, which I believe is a record for his blog site (and many other domain blog sites). Suddenly 3D domains have gone ballistic. We have noobies picking up domains for OOTB’s and getting four figure offers on them within less than six months. Talk about striking it rich!
Now it’s time for me to reveal the secret of 3D, Hologram/Holographic, and other future trend domains: If you’re not investing in now, you will be paying huge prices for them in the next year or two, or kicking yourself for not nabbing them when they began to blossom. Even now, 3D products and services are so huge in consumer trends, and every major corporation is looking at “New Media” advertising, including 3D displays and gimmickry. The public LOVES it. The manufacturers are scrambling, the New Media crowd is falling over itself to jump on this bandwagon, and most of them already have to some extent.
Deloitte, the top financial advisory firm in the world, has a nice pdf to download regarding the direction towards 3D marketing. Get it. (this link is iffy, if it doesn’t work, let us know)
There’s some fun facts right now to impress you with what’s happening just with 3D prodservs.
1) Samsung has sold over 300,000 units of 3D-based TV’s since June 2010. They’re said to own almost 90% of the market in 3D TVs.
2) Sony has said they expect to sell over (read this right) a whopping 2.5 million 3D TV’s in the next year. Expect new technologies to make those TV’s obsolete before the end of 2011. Hey, for now, you can be the coolest house on the block with a 3D TV.
3) Most consumers surveyed about their opinion on 3D entertainment said that other than having cheap 3D optics (glasses), when they get good glasses and a great TV presentation, the experience is fantastic.
4) Drawbacks to 3D consumers talked about were “headaches from bad 3D glasses” and poor migrations of 2D films into 3D films.
5) The “coolest” TV to own right now, under 60 inches, is the Samsung UN55C7000
6) Here’s what we can we expect from 3D advertising: Every major corporation has a 3D New Media campaign already produced, in the works, or planned to head up a campaign. Even billboards on the side of the road will be freaking out drivers… and premiere’s for every new high level product, place, service, will have a 3D ad campaign to back it up. That’s only the start. Every major company is involved.
7) Cellphone apps are being made, along with cellphone technology, to take, project and view 3D images.
My article only covers 3D products and media. There are many other future tech prodservs to immerse your mind and dollars into right now. This is where the big domain money will be in the next 3 years.
I’m offering anyone looking into purchasing Future Trend domains, including 3D, Holograms, Solar, Robotics, Cellphone Apps, Green Prodserves and electric fashions, a FREE place here to discuss their domain purchases, sales, opinions and expectations for future trend domains.
I am opening my blog site and will feature any and all of your submissions, both in comments and domains you are trying to sell. I’m going to do everyone a favor and let my blog be an OPEN FORUM for future trend domains.
If you aren’t on board with future trend domains now, you will be by 2011, but by then, it might be too late to get the current maturing domains for less than $5000, if that.
Have fun, and I look forward to future technology domains and your opinions! Show us what you got and what you’re doing with it!
“pennies”?
haha
thanks for the endorsement but logo’s and layout are not Pennies.
i understood what you were saying, so need to apologize – just havin’ some fun with ya now.
Thanks again.
It was wishful thinking.
Hey, Guess what People! My sie is #43 for a search of “dual screen phones” on Google!
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Dual+Screen+Phones%22&hl=en&biw=1132&bih=692&prmd=ivns&ei=k25ZTbvxBY_2swOps8meDA&start=40&sa=N
Doesn’t the listing look great! The trademark symbol is in place, and Google grabbed its holder text for the description, which is what I intended – no “description” meta tags. Keep it simple, I say!
I am now accepting offers on
3dtelevision.us
Will sell with the existing site that is up also.
You can email me with any offers.
Thanks

Hey Stephen
Great News!!
couple of quick questions:
• are you only accepting dot com’s or can we submit names from other extensions?
…something like “3dGame.co.uk”?… “3dMarketing.co”?
• can you tell us who this auction will mostly be serving?.. is this just for domainers or industry people?
• are hyphens accepted?… something like “FREE-3D.de”?
• should any other criteria be considered?
• are you considering ‘Telepresence’ names along with your holo submissions?
thanks SD
one last question.. sorry
are Adult related names also acceptable?

Hello to all,
If by some unbelievable stroke of luck I happen to register a domain name of significant value, I have the people that have so generously offered information, freely on this site, to thank. Thank you.
Conversely, if anything I have posted, be it so humble, generates the creation of a valuable domain property, super, so be it.
Futher, I have just registered these three domains.

thehologram.com
theholographicmemory.com
cheers,

3DHONGKONG.COM
Been reg’d since Feb 2008
Thanx anyway, Giles! Next year at this time, I should be doing fine, and able to offer something . . .
@3DConsole, 3DHongKongdotcom – I LIKE that one! Imagine the possibilities! It could be the hologram map with an aerial view of Hong Kong buildings which looks 3D when it tilts to the side . . .
Talk about Hologram, did anyone see this display by Apple? http://www.betabeat.com/files/2011/03/apple-store.jpg It’s cool – resembles a hologram. On research, it isn’t: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1247/799022601_e15ea5ca78_o.jpg
CNN has just published ‘Seeing the world in new dimensions’ an opinion piece on 3D including its potential for maps, real estate sales, travel websites, etc. http://bit.ly/fnAifk Very cool. Here’s sample of a 3D generated view of New York on Youtube by Sweden-based C3 Technologies (CEO is author of article): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub4yd-qkaVM
@Louise
Thanks
@Lucy Izon
That map on you tube looks brilliant, i also have – HolographicMap.com , might come in useful in the future.
Great article, Lucy – thanx! It is nice to learn, as Mattias Åström the author brought out, that 3D maps are useful to find which trees to cut in a forest to “maximize revenue and minimize ecological disruption.” I wonder he didn’t comment on the Japan disaster, since it occured before the publish date, but he might have written it in advance, and CNN decided to publish it later. That would be a great application! It is already historical how helicopters caught the tsunami in real time which changed the landscape . . . Useful for disaster mapping in the future.

Nice one, Giles.
Did you have to track the sale down or did it come to you? Great domain name, by the way!
Giles, that’s a nice one. I couldn’t find it on Sedo’s site, do you have a link to this report of the sale?
As I said, it was a private sale, I sold it yesterday. Check the whois, it changed yesterday. The buyer came to me.
