Ok folks

The year is 1995 and you have a choice of registering your top 10 or 20 names
what would you have registered

 

[BELLC1]

I wouldn't. Knowing what I know now, I'd have played the lottery.

..

 

[DomainsInc]

[Biggie]

[jazzpetals]

google.com
myspace.com

 

[Creature]

Casino.com would have been enough. If only!

 

[Rarethings]

I wouldn't. Knowing what I know now, I'd have played the lottery.

in 95 I was reading a good book about the net that said in the coming years you could make millions if you act now...doh!

Who wrote it?

 

[Focus]

I remember wanting to register domain names and not having a ****ing credit card and nobody listening to me..then got sidetracked into other BS as a young teen..I spent more time on AOL chat boards than thinking about registering all those million dollar gems sitting there waiting to get picked up. Funny thing is, they (and some of us) will be saying that about the timeframe of RIGHT NOW and all the opportunity missed.

Who wrote it?

good question, would have to dig it out. It was manly focused on email marketing, pretty cool for 95 (was probably written in 93 or 94). I bought it in a bookstore only having heard about the inet, seemed like it was possible but like Chris I was too busy with other stuff (for me it was chasing college girls and studying). Strange when I think about that time because I had a few friends who used email in 93 but they never seemed to think of anything else but using email with friends...the lousy geeks...

guess I should add some names to the list:

Animation.com
Antiques.com
Architecture.com
Design.com
Entertainment.com
History.com
Magazines.com
Movies.com
Music.com
News.com
Photograhy.com
Shopping.com
Video.com
Apartments.com
Business.com
Finance.com
Pets.com
Accounting.com
Law.com
Travel.com
Classifieds.com

I cybersquatted f24z.org which my school was about to use to host their site.
They set the domain as homepage on every work station in the school.
I put some negative contents against my school, and ended up getting a call from the dean... They found it from the whois.
Fortunately, I was too little to put porn up there lol.

or a picture of a big hairy butt...(where my ex boss's birth name in .com goes currently) k:

 

[britishbulldog]

I did register one directdespatch.co.uk for my business let it go a couple of years later but only if i knew what i do now about domaqins could of been a multi millionaire

 

[AlienGG]

I regged couple of useless domains even for free.
There was a long azz website starts with "web" offered free domain reg at that time. Dam... A true risk free investment with 0% in infinite% out...

 

[Dale Hubbard]

Google.com - isn't hindsight beautiful if not useless?

 

[Focus]

if you registered google.com or myspace.com, etc they just probably would'nt exist...they would be "boogle" or "yourspace"
