From expired domains to a new domain transfer policy, here are the top stories from last month.

The holidays are upon us! My daughter is going through a Pokemon phase for Christmas, which is a reminder of how a new generation can be exposed to something that faded out between generations. Think about this and how it might relate to domain names…

November was a great month for the Domain Name Wire Podcast, with several recent podcasts topping 1,000 downloads. Contact me if you’d like to sponsor the podcast.

Here are last month’s podcasts:

#112 Big companies and domain names
#111 New Domain Transfer Policy
#110 Building Geo Domain Names
#109 Chips, mistakes and opportunities with Shane Cultra

1. It’s the end of domain search as we know it (and I feel fine) – This post from Fracesco Cetraro was the most-read story last month.

2. There’s an all out war for dropping domain names – Drop catching services have added hundreds of new registrars to snag deleting domain names.
