Just received an email from David Castello announcing that CCIN will be partnering with Rob Monster of Monster Venture Partners in the development of Traveler.com. Together, Monster and CCIN will develop Traveler.com into a global travel website.
Monster has recently signed on for joint development projects including HealthCare.com, WiFi.com, and Patents.com. CCIN are leaders in the Geodomain space, operating websites such as PalmSprings.com, LagunaBeach.com, Nashville.com, and many others. They also own non-geo names such as Whisky.com and Daycare.com.
For more information about this deal, check out DNJournal’s Lowdown.
Breaking: Castello Brothers Partner with Monster
Congratulations David- this is great news. Rob and the team at Healthcare.com are doing an outstanding job of creating a destination that gives consumers real value in exchange for their visit. It’s said that as one door closes, another opens. Perhaps it took the death of PPC (or the greatly exaggerated rumors of its death) to realize the vision Rick Schwartz expressed so elquantly on this 1999 wayback page:

Be careful what you wish for, Rick. Look at Marchex, Ogopogo, Vancouver.com and this news— the cranes are all around us! They mean even beat your 2010 delivery projection.
Congrats to David & Michael!
Their foresight is a complete inspiration.
They always see that next level as clear as a blue sky.
I look forward to seeing the outcome of Traveler.com!
