Re: IDN Forums is now 9 months old....
Well, I hopped on this IDN wave a little late (early this year). However, I did register my first Japanese character names back in 2000. Unfortunately, they used a proprietary system which never took off. That experience turned me off to Japanese character domains for a long time and caused me to hesitate before jumping in this time.
After building a modest portfolio in February, I forced myself to stop registering after reaching a self-imposed budget ceiling. However, the recent developments at NameDrive with Japanese keywords has caused me to revise my budget, expand my portfolio and make a much more serious commitment to IDN. At this point, I've nearly hit my second financial ceiling and I am shifting my focus to development.
My short-term goal is to establish a range of developed sites so they're ready and waiting for the launch of IE7.
A secondary, longer-term goal is to nail down a method for buyer/seller-friendly and secure Japanese language sales, which may include developing a public listing site.
Special thanks to you, Olney, and Edwin for sparking my interest.
