Deep dives
The Mandela Effect: Misremembering events or details
The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where people believe they have a memory of something that actually didn't exist or remember an event differently from what actually happened. Examples include the misspelling of the Bernstein Bears, Britney Spears wearing a headset in a music video, and misquotes from movies like Star Wars.
Holiday Domain Value: Christmas is the most valuable holiday domain
Christmas is considered the most valuable holiday domain due to its commercial nature and the amount of money spent during the holiday season. Other valuable holiday domains include Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Valentine's Day.
Understanding the Mandela Effect
The Mandela Effect refers to instances where a large number of people remember events or details differently from what is historically recorded. This phenomenon could be attributed to false memories, misinformation, or a mass misperception. Examples include the misspelling of names, changes in popular movie quotes, and collective memory of historical events.
ICA Event in Las Vegas in January
The ICA event in Las Vegas in January is an upcoming event where industry professionals and domain investors gather to discuss and share insights on the domain industry. It is recommended for attendees to make travel arrangements and get tickets in advance.
As we say on DomainSherpa - all roads lead to domains. And in the reverse, domains have us venturing "down the rabbit hole" for different topics all the time. This is a tech-adjacent, digital asset and pop culture, tangent-positive, monthly-ish podcast - with a bunch of domains stuff thrown into the mix for good measure.
In this episode, co-hosts JT and Jen Sale are joined by Drew, Adam, and Billy for the annual Sherpaween holiday episode. The gang dives into some domain current events like recent auction platform changes at NameCheap and GoDaddy, and the slow-down of the Chinese domain market in Q3. They also discuss which holiday domain name has the most value and they get into an interesting conversation about the Mandela Effect.
So tune in and jump down the rabbit hole on DomainSherpa! And Happy Sherpaween!
