Chris is a numbers guy. Long history in financial markets, also an old friend, one of the first domainers I met in the domain industry back in 1999 in GreatDomains chat room.
“The Market For Lemons combines my passion for finance and economics with my experience in the domain name industry. It aims to be a source of information, opinion, and debate on the “numbers”? while not ignoring common sense.
The title of this blog is taken from a 1970 economics paper written by George Akerlof, and summarized on wikipedia here. This paper influenced my own economics thesis in university and, I believe, accurately reflects the problem that existis of assymetrical in the domain name industry. And while I do not believe that domain names are “lemons”?, I would argue that the market for domains and the market for used cars are sometimes very similar.”
And what to expect? here’s one of the first posts on the blog (spotted at Franky’s sevenmile.com), sure to make you dizzy.
