.CO is shaking up the marketplace, with upward of one million domain names
registered by entrepreneurs and innovative brands in more than 200 countries

    To celebrate the individuals, businesses and brands that are helping to
build the .CO community, the .CO Registry has created a series of short
videos entitled: "Under the Bulb, Capturing Life After Ideas Strike," which
can be viewed right now at http://www.UnderTheBulb.CO. These inspiring
videos tell the story of what happens after that "light-bulb moment" - and
explores the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of the innovators, entrepreneurs
and trailblazers who are building their futures on the .CO platform.

    Under the Bulb will be shown live on June 9th, with a ceremonial
kick-off premier to be held at a private event during Internet Week NY, the
festival celebrating all things Internet - where .CO Internet is the
Official Community Sponsor. For those who cannot make it to the week-long
festival in New York City, all official content from the broadcast stage
will be streamed live around the world, in real time - and will be available
for viewing at IWNY.CO [http://www.iwny.co ]http://www.iwny.co/ - the
official streaming video site for Internet Week NY content.

    .CO Internet is also kicking off the first-ever Bulby Awards
[http://www.bulbys.co ], celebrating the trailblazers, big-dreamers,
innovators and insomniac entrepreneurs that are helping to create the .CO
global community. The public is invited to vote online for their favorite .CO
websites in a variety of different categories, from today through July 1st,
and the winners will be announced on July 20th, 2011 - to coincide with the
.CO Registry's one year anniversary.

    Overstock.com, which has rebranded to O.co [http://www.o.co ]
internationally, is one of the many nominees for a Bulby Award for the "Best
Use of a Single Letter Domain." Today the company has made headlines once
again for its bold decision to rename the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum,
currently known as Overstock.com Coliseum, to O.co Coliseum
