March's Top Stories

This is the better-late-than-never edition of last month's top stories on Domain Name Wire. I usually publish this list earlier. But news (and life) gets in the way sometimes.

First, here's a quick recap of last month's podcast episodes:

#77 - The John Berryhill Show - domain name attorney John Berryhill dishes on what's going on at ICANN, the China problem, dumb things domainers do and more.
#76 - SXSW 2016 - I interview people at Sedo's Domain Village in Austin during SXSW.
#75 - Future Domain Opportunities - some trends and how to capitalize on them with domain registrations and acquisitions.
#74 - Frank Schilling & the State of New TLDs - Frank is frank about Rightside, M+M and more.

Here are the top stories on Domain Name Wire last month, ranked by page views:

1. Faroe Islands tries to take down gruesome "Save the Whales" site - sometimes articles on Domain Name Wire take off for reasons other than the main domain name connection. That's the case with this article, which was shared 3,600 times on Facebook by people upset with Faroe Islands' treatment of whales.

2. How to lose a $175,000 domain name in a UDRP - this story about a company that managed to lose a $175,000 domain name in a UDRP received quite a few "what the heck were they thinking?" comments.

3. Major Rightside shareholder upset with focus on new TLDs - calling some of Rightside's TLDs "irrelevant", investor J. Carlo Cannell asks Rightside to focus more on its registrar business.

4. eName acquires 4.cn - consolidation in the Chinese domain name market gets real.

5. Agar.io-related domain sells for big bucks - there's a good reason Agario.com sold for $16.6k on NameJet.
