I realize that many of us at this point know each other (or know of each other) from various other forums and outlets, but it doesn't hurt to get reacquainted, especially as more members discover these forums and the wide, wonderful world of IDNs. So, I'll go first:
Hi, my name is Jesse, and I'm from the US. I go by the nickname of "domainstosell". I've been involved with IDNs since around April of 2006 (and I wish I had discovered them sooner, like probably everyone else - with perhaps a few exceptions).
I have domains in many languages, but a majority in Hebrew, Russian, Japanese and Bengali. I own and operate an IDN news/resources/showcase site:
www.IDNcyclopedia.com.
This forum is a great step in the right direction to raising international awareness of native-language domains, and I am looking forward to great strides in the IDN industry in the next year and beyond.
