Rick Latona Auctions spends time and money marketing to end users, but it takes more than that to get the job done.  The most important thing to keep in mind is that it takes time for end users to come to the table.  For example, the average response time from a Fortune 500 company to [...]

*In this image you can see how far back the glaciers were from the summit I was standing on. As I type this; there is an article headlining the home page of cnn.com. It's titled "Glaciers disappearing from Kilimanjaro". I can tell you that from my own experience, the guides on my journey had all [...]

In the coming weeks and months we'll be putting out a lot of press regarding T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Las Vegas which will be held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino January 21st - 23rd of 2010. Rather than inundating you with a lot of information that will get lost in the noise we'll release one interesting [...]

First, I swear I didn't register this name myself. My disdain for .mobi names has been well documented. It was part of a large portfolio of names that a customer had defaulted on.

We are happy to announce the launch of Kili2010.com, a website about our March 2010 climb of Mount Kilimanjaro. As previously written, a bunch of us are going to climb that big rock right before the Nairobi ICANN meeting. We are doing it for the exercise and experience but mostly to help bring clean water for [...]

We were the first company to sell mini-sites so we might as well be the first company to stop selling them. The reality is there is no money in web design. It's hard. The customers are hard to please. The margins are slim and frankly, there are bigger fish to fry. There are only so [...]

Please find our initial list of inventory for our T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction. There may be room for a few great names that are priced to sell but for the most part we are capped. We've been working on getting bidders to the table for, in some cases, months. However, we had to wait for a lot [...]

I’ve spent the last 9 days in Quebec meeting with clients in Montreal and the surrounding area. I got to bring my family along as well which is always nice. My daughter gets a week off during October. I never got a week off during October. Quebec is really a gem of a province. The [...]
