I've Joined Tucows as General Manager, Domain Portfolio
Today's the day I finally get to spill the beans about the amazing new job I've just started!
I've joined Tucows, one of the oldest and most legendary Internet companies in the world, as their General Manager, Domain Portfolio.
Here's a link to the full press release announcing the news:
Tucows Appoints Internet Veteran Bill Sweetman as General Manager of its Domain Name Portfolio
Tucows has an awesome portfolio of domain names, and I'm going to be leading the charge to further monetize that portfolio as well as develop new products and services related to the portfolio. Translation: I'm going to be performing Domain Name Karate as a full-time job!
When presented with the opportunity to turn my long-held passion for domain names into a full-time gig, I leaped at the chance. This was truly one of those 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunities' and I knew I'd regret turning it down. Plus, I get to work again with Ken Schafer and a great team of people who are equally passionate about the domain name space.
Effective immediately, I will be working from the Tucows Toronto office in Liberty Village, and I will continue to blog and do speaking engagements in Canada and around the world.
Congrats! Sounds like a perfect role for you.

Bill, you can't hear it, but I just played the gong wav files you gave me at the CMA National Convention.
Hiiii-yyaaaaa!
Congrats on the new gig. I look forward to raising a glass at the Geek Dinner next week!
You and Ken - together... that's some deadly stuff there. Throw Flackadelic into the lot and look out world!

Recently at a networking event I stood up and said that we need to help Tucows - please help Tucows because they are an awesome Canadian company and they need good people - glad to see that my prayers are being answered :).
