Minicom Blog: Hi Nate, thanks for joining us
Nate Nead: My pleasure.
MB: How did digitalsignage.com come to be?
NN: I was working for an advertising company and while there was reading and hearing more and more about digital signage. Digital Signage is the next wave of advertising and it’s a good time to be here. When I find out that the domain name www.digitalsignage.com was available I did some research, made a bid and ended up winning it.
MB: What are your plans with the site?
NN: In about three months we plan to have our own unique system for a digital signage platform. We plan to optimize the site. A number of sites already fill niches in the industry. We aren’t competing with them – the opposite in fact we plan to work with a couple of them. We also want the site to be a portal for digital signage resources.
MB: Can you say more about the platform?
NN: Not that much now but it integrated social networking with digital signage and mobile SMS.
MB: How did you win the rights to the domain name?
NN: There was a private auction. We had a limit as to how much we would bid and it didn’t reach the limit. We won it for less than I thought it would go for.
MB: Since then have you had offers from people to buy it off you?
NN: Some but not that many.
MB: Good luck with it all.
NN: Thanks.
