The pencils.com domain was registered on March 20, 1996, according to Network Solutions Inc. The registration expires in 2015, so owner California Cedar Products is definitely thinking in the long term.
Usually the top result when searching for “pencils” in online directories and search engines, the site has been redesigned and relaunched. I was fortunate to be able to see a development version, and am happy that the site is now live in a “beta” version.
New features include:
* an online store
* an area for artists
* forums
* industry news
* essays on pencils
And much, much, more.
I registered as “penciltalk”, and look forward to seeing what develops.
Congratulations to pencils.com on the site relaunch.
