CHICAGO, IL – October 10, 2008 – Ocean Tomo Auctions, LLC today announced that it will offer for sale a premium online and mobile communications industry asset – WebChat.com – at its upcoming Fall 2008 Live IP Auction at the Chicago Cultural Center on October 30th. The WebChat.com domain, offered as Lot 46a, is a generic yet highly relevant domain in the booming world of online communication, making it an attractive asset for companies looking to establish an unmistakable web presence.

Web chatting, which has become an online phenomenon due to its simplistic web interface and accessibility, has grown from simply a recreational communication vehicle to one that has expanded to the workplace, enabling groups of people to communicate with instant feedback and, more recently, with sophisticated capabilities including voice, video, and application-sharing services. “Online communication channels – specifically web chat – continue to expand at extraordinary rates in function, capability, and popularity. I see this only proliferating over the next few years with expansion into the mobile market,” said Dean Becker, Ocean Tomo’s Vice Chairman. “The WebChat.com domain would certainly be a desirable asset and valuable acquisition for any domainer looking to strengthen his portfolio or business wanting to distinguish itself from the competition.”
