MusicTalks.xyz – Network Solutions customer (Australia)

Now that summer is fully upon us, it’s time to start enjoying the great outdoors. But everyone knows the key to a great backyard barbeque or perfect day at the beach is all about the tunes blasting in the background. Finding new music can often prove to be a struggle, and time spent indoors searching for music means less time spent outside. That’s why our #WebsiteWednesday this week will make sure you always have something fresh queued up: MusicTalks.xyz.

MusicTalks.xyz is an audio discovery platform which features new and upcoming artists from a variety of genres. Whether you’re into rap, rock, or pop, Music Talks has a song for you. Their feed makes it easy for you to fall in love with new artists that otherwise would not have been on your radar. Plus, with every artist featured on Music Talks, they provide recommendations for similar artists, making discovering even more new music a breeze. Tracey Arbon, the creator of Music Talks, is just another example of those who are innovating on .xyz domains.

“I like .xyz domains, because to me, it sums everything up, especially since the site is about independent artists from various genres; so much so, that we’ve made sure we have incorporated this in all our branding” – Tracey Arbon, Music Talks

Music Talks is also an excellent tool for the aspiring musicians trying to get their name out there. Not only does the site make it easy for them to be found and shared by listeners like you, they also have exclusive interviews with each musician that they feature, so you can know exactly what drives and inspires your new favorite artist.

“Music Talks provides articles written directly from the artists, as this is the one key element in which we find is crucial for people to be able to relate to, and create a better understanding of what artists go through…” – Tracey Arbon, Music Talks

So #GenXYZ, who are you listening to this summer? Let us know at @XYZ, and have a great Wednesday (hopefully out in the sun)!

.xyz 3-Letter and 4-Number Themed Auction Results

As part of our 2 year Anniversary celebration, we partnered with West.cn to kick off our first “themed” auctions with LLL.xyz (3-letter) and NNNN.xyz (4-number) domains. In Chinese tradition, certain numbers such as 6, 8, and 9 are believed to have auspicious meanings, which signify luck and fortune. Chinese investors also consider consecutive 3-letter domains to be attractive investments because they short and memorable. They call these consecutive letter domains “leopard domains.” We want to share the great results from these auctions and congratulate those who bid and won!

In the LLL auction, a total of 226 .xyz domains were sold for a combined 242,350 RMB (~$36,719.70). Some highlights include one “leopard domain,” OOO.xyz, whose winner, after an intense bidding war, won the domain with a final winning bid of 21,000 RMB ($3,181.82 USD)! In previous .xyz auctions, we have seen similar consecutive 3 letter domains sold for a very good prices. So congratulations to the new owner of ooo.xyz.
