By: QUOTE OF THE DAY....From Chris Clark, who just sold the domain name pizza.com, which he purchased for $20 in 1994, for $2.6 million:
Me too. —Kevin Drum 3:00 PM Permalink | Trackbacks | Comments (26)Comments
Takes an awful lot of cojones to ask for $2.6 million! Was he rejecting $2.5 million? Jesus. Posted by: sean on April 4, 2008 at 3:13 PM | PERMALINK"Generic names also boost their owners' search engine rankings on the Web. That's because the domain names often match keywords used to search, said Catherine Pancake..." So says Catherine Pancake? Who can argue with the delicious Catherine Pancake? Isn't April Fools Day over? Posted by: brent on April 4, 2008 at 3:13 PM | PERMALINK$2.6 million? I would have held out to at least $5. Posted by: AMP on April 4, 2008 at 3:13 PM | PERMALINKIn '94, you could have just registered everything and anything. Kevin, I registered kevindrum.com for $20 in '94 and sold it to some entrepreneurs for $2000. Look what they set up at http://kevindrum.com/ *snicker* Posted by: Al on April 4, 2008 at 3:25 PM | PERMALINKAround 1998, I registered barackobama.com and hillary08.com. Let's just say the shortstop campaign will never run out of money. Posted by: shortstop on April 4, 2008 at 3:37 PM | PERMALINKThat's funny. I bought Al.com for $20 and sold it for 12 cents. They said something about the brand being ruined. Posted by: MeLoseBrain? on April 4, 2008 at 3:38 PM | PERMALINKSo, what investment opportunity are we all missing now? Posted by: smiley on April 4, 2008 at 3:42 PM | PERMALINKLike anybody would tell you if they really knew. Posted by: Steve LaBonne on April 4, 2008 at 3:44 PM | PERMALINKBacon Delivery Service? Posted by: Craig Johnson's Brother's Son on April 4, 2008 at 3:47 PM | PERMALINKWho even notices URLs anymore? Even if I have one, I still use Google. Posted by: Gary Sugar on April 4, 2008 at 3:56 PM | PERMALINKWhat? No shortstop.com? No, at the time, I was going through a brief outfielding phase, MeLoseBrain. I don't mean I played a position out there. I mean I flirted with my local single-A club's entire outfield. Posted by: shortstop on April 4, 2008 at 4:15 PM | PERMALINKMaybe Catherine Pancake hangs out with Faith Popcorn. Posted by: ask2 on April 4, 2008 at 4:37 PM | PERMALINKSo, what investment opportunity are we all missing now? I think fridaycatblogging.com is available! Posted by: thersites on April 4, 2008 at 5:26 PM | PERMALINKYeah...but he had to renew that registration repeatedly since then, at $10 or $20 a crack, didn't he? So that's gonna cut into the profits. Posted by: Robert Earle on April 4, 2008 at 5:46 PM | PERMALINKThis one is taken: getrichquick.com This one is not: whenmonkeysflyoutofmybutt.com Posted by: Ranger Jay on April 4, 2008 at 5:51 PM | PERMALINK"Kevin.com." I'm claiming it! In 10 years I'll be as rich as the Clintons or the McCains. Posted by: Dr Wu, the last of the big-time thinkers on April 4, 2008 at 6:02 PM | PERMALINKwww.modemocracy.com Does this mean that in the future we will be ruled by modems? Posted by: thersites on April 4, 2008 at 7:46 PM | PERMALINKWait until the guy who owns the domain name, www.sex.com, puts that up for sale. Hoo boy.....! Posted by: The Conservative Deflator on April 4, 2008 at 11:07 PM | PERMALINK...And why doesn't the rest of us on the internet, who have suffered the lack of a pizza-dot-com because of his wasteful use of our DNS resources, get a piece of that pie? Posted by: Crissa on April 5, 2008 at 5:06 AM | PERMALINKDon't buy the $20 story.. There was only one domain register company back then. Registering a domain back in 1994 wasn't as easy as it is now. Back then, you needed a DNS hooked to the internet and the concept of "parking" a domain wasn't known because there were no resellers like godaddy and no one was renting out space on web servers. So yeah if you figured the technology of buying one domain, you could have bought thousands. And actually, in 1994, domain names didn't have value because the real value was in AOL keywords or on Compuserve or Prodigy. Remember pre-Win 95, connecting to the internet with a PC was a bizarrly complex process where you had to install some TCP/IP software ... and then dial up... which is why AOL did so well initially. Thank god those days are gone. Posted by: pizza.com on April 6, 2008 at 1:27 PM | PERMALINKPost a comment
