I’ve known Bill Sweetman since the mid-nineties, back when I worked at Mackerel Interactive Multimedia, so I was very pleased to find out that Tucows — the company where I hold the title of Technical Evangelist — has hired him as General Manager of our domain name portfolio.

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.
It’s good to have you on the team, Bill. Welcome to the herd!

Thanks so much, Joey. One of the reasons I wanted to join Tucows was because I figured if Accordian Guy worked there, it’s really got to be a cool place. (And, for the record, it’s weird to be leaving a comment on your blog when you are in the same building as me right now!)
