Launches ICANNBuzz ahead of Buenos Aires conference — .Buzz registry

.Buzz registry makes website for sharing during next week’s ICANN conference in Buenos Aires.

ICANN buzzThe domain name industry pilgrimage to Buenos Aires for ICANN #48 begins later this stretch. There’s a lot more excitement buzz in the air this time around as fresh TLD applicants can finally see the endpoint (or is it the starting point?).

One of the registries making the trek is DotStrategy, which will be rolling out the .buzz domain name next year. The firm has put together a resource at ICANNBuzz.com that I think will be handy for those attending the meeting.

ICANNBuzz will collate social media activity and photos from the event. There are tabs for tweets from registries and registrars, as well as a calendar of social events. The firm will also give digital cameras to “worker bees” (a.k.a. volunteers) who snap photos of ICANN events.

For those (counting me) that won’t be at the meeting, this will be a good resource to track what’s going on.
