jobs korea is probably good - the .org is regged by KTDom which owns some top quality korean .coms

Took me a while to verify 데스크톱 was desktop.... but my final conclusion is yes. I sat down for an hour making sure. Seemed like one hell of a domain to me, especially with 84K and all the korean bids.

Hi,

I asked my professional Korean translator for comments...
From my understanding the following is true:-

a) 잡코리아 (job website in Korea) - this is a brand name used by a job website in Korea (and the company name they have used since 1998 ) - most likely it is a trademark, as it is not "normal" Korean grammer structure. Personally would look at this as being short-term before you are challenged on it.

b) 토크 (talk) - correct

c) 데스크톱 (desktop) - means desktop (implies "PC" / computer) - in Korean they often have the Korean "character version" and a "Phonetics version" (English to sound based version) - this is the phonetics based version, which is used for desktop pc - namely it is an alternative to the Korean character version (good name & correct).

Hope comments are useful - cheers, Asiaplay

The .nets were Wednesday - 2 days ago... The info was a week or two ago.

Every now and then I still come across one or two nice domains in a hunting session. Obviously it isn't like a year to a year and a half ago, when you could go out and grab a basket of goodies in a sitting. Plus, now when I find some good ones, I almost think I made a mistake; like they shouldn't still be floating around out there.

LOL I think the same way. It's like how would this be available NOW?? I still remember buying 200 domains in one night.... those days are long gone.
