Every once in a while, I look at the current contests going on at Atom.com. If I see one of interest, I will think about what domain names I own that might be good options for the contest. I’ll then sort and scan my listings to see if anything might fit. I think Atom’s AI can make it easier.
I look at Atom as a platform people use to find brand names with matching domain names. Because of this, I lean towards listing brandable types of domain names on Atom. I figure someone looking for a creative brand name will use Atom and my inventory should be shown on related terms.
When I am assessing domain names to buy, one of the things I think about is where I would list it for sale along with the value to an end user buyer. I think of Atom for the brandable types of domain names I think would be a good fit with the platform, especially with a custom logo.
The ICA Meeting in Las Vegas is an event I do my best to attend each year. I always enjoy attending to catch up with friends and colleagues who visit from around the world.

I have a longstanding commitment with some friends during PMC weekend, and my family is traveling quite a bit this Summer so I wouldn’t get the miles in on my bicycle. When the January signup window passed without signing up, I regretted it but figured I would be back again next year.
Atom.com recently introduced domain name rentals. The idea is that a company might rent a domain name to start using a domain name with a lower upfront financial commitment. I have that option disabled because of the low risk/reward profile.
I have been in a fairly long negotiation for a one word .com domain name I own. I have been going back and forth with various purchase options with the prospective buyer, who uses a non .com domain.
