<description><![CDATA[Cowboys.com sold for $275K at the TRAFFIC conference, apparently to a bidder representing the Dallas Cowboys.  They don't appear willing to go through with the deal, thinking they were only bidding $275 for the name.Can they actually get away with this?  How can anyone be so stupid as to participate in a high dollar auction environment without knowing the rules.  If the representatives of the Cowboys are as stupid in their personnel moves as they are here, expect Joey Harrington to be your quarterback next year, not Tony Romo.  Some Eagles or Redskins fan should snag this domain for their own purposes.<br/><br/>35 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Only Marty Weintraub &amp; the blogger working for Andy Beal seem to be covering the conference (a couple posts each).I guess Local &amp; Mobile Search ain't that important...perhaps I need to focus my energies on search engine submission &amp; metatag optimization :.)Heck of a baseball game in Denver last night BTW...<br/><br/>12 Vote(s) ]]></description>

However, we bring this to attention out of respect for Danny since we know he must have had a brain hiccup at that very moment and would never make that mistake again:.)<br/><br/>18 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Yahoo is doing no such thing.<br/><br/>30 Vote(s) ]]></description>
