Inside today’s virtual domain name tradeshow — A look

Virtual tradeshow is clunky but presents a good opportunity to chat with domain name firms.

I remember going to a virtual tradeshow regarding a decade ago. It was clunky and hard to use.

Apparently that’s the case in 2014 as well.

I just attended Webfair Virtual, an online tradeshow featuring a bunch of domain name firms.

The process of registering, downloading software, and navigating the show floor was rather cumbersome. (Once you figure out how to chat with firms, you’ll find many of them aren’t available.)

Nonetheless, it’s worth checking out if you want to chat one-on-one with representatives of domain name firms.

Perhaps instead of a graphic-heavy virtual tradeshow, chat forum sessions with various firms would be more valuable. It would certainly be easier.
