Ed's in Amsterdam... You can only imagine what would happen to the earnings :S
I was wondering if anyone would notice about the added time.... Though midnight is a fun time to launch something in a vampire sort of way, we realized it's probably a little bit better to actually be awake during a launch phase

We are pleased to announce Routine Maintenance.
After a sixteen day countdown, we are undergoing maintenance…
Clearly, a new website deploy can’t happen instantly, but our brand new Homepage with new products will be launched very shortly…

Phew. Busy 180 minutes...
Hello everyone,
So the secret is out and I'm glad that the reception has been generally positive. I know we couldn't do everything everybody wanted, but we are working on those too.
Just a sort of collective post to expand on some issues.
- It is a bid/ask system. Any bids you make / receive on domains can be found in the ND Factory "Buy domains" "Sell domains" section.
- The spotlights are free for the first 10 days and we will do them as much as possible on a first come, first served basis, but as it is free, we have already seen some not particularly great domains listed... We had over 100 applications in the first 30 minutes. The first batch of SDs will go live within the hour.
- All listings will shortly be searchable / sortable by category etc.
- Many of the improvement ideas which were posted involved parking and this launch is definitely not a departure from that rather an addition to it. We still continue to work on improving our parking and there will be some very interesting developments in the coming weeks and over the summer.
- As well as parking developments, we will continue to flesh out this beta launch to include Buy It Now offerings, buyer/seller ratings, auction and a full scale listing service.
- All of this is non commission. We do recommend you use an escrow agent for bigger sales and we're happy to recommend various services such as escrow.com or our friends in Boston for this service.
- I hope the countdown was worth it, even if it was just for the fun of guessing what we'd be doing.
We feel that Spotlight Domains - soon available by RSS - really gives you a great chance to show off your domains to some of the top professionals in the domain industry for a guaranteed time period rather than momentarily and Park&Sell is the only market worldwide for domains based entirely on traffic revenue, so we see a lot of potential there.
I'm sure there'll be more feedback good and bad, the more the better in this case.
We hope you enjoy the new products and look forward to hearing your experiences.
Ed
P.S. - The typo has now been fixed...

Bit of feedback for you Ed:
a) Some of the names on the front page are a bit hard to read because of the underline (those with g's, y's, etc). Perhaps change the style so they're not underlined?
b) There's too many names on the front page, particularly in the spotlight. Sure, demand for places will be high, but I think it would be better if you had fewer names (say 10 spotlights) and made them stand out better. Less is more.
That's all for now
