In Bad Taste
by bucy at 4:52 pm EDT, May 4, 2006 |
So-called domain tasting is one of the more unpleasant developments in the domain business in the past year. Domain speculators are registering millions of domains without paying for them, in a business model not unlike running a condiment business by visiting every fast food restaurant in town and scooping up all of the ketchup packets.

Registries are close-mouthed about the number of domains that are refunded, but informed estimates from Bret Fausett, citing VeriSign’s Stratton Scavlos, and from Godaddy’s Bob Parsons say that it’s grown in recent months to be about 99% of them. That’s bad.

Such bullshit. I hate domain speculators. For that matter, I hate anyone who buys a domain with the express intent of reselling it or absorbing typo-traffic. Unfortunately, I haven't been satisfied by any of my own arguments against their rights to do that stuff. Alas, even with all my hate, I can't make an effective case to say they *can't* do it. |
