When Single Character.com’s Walked The Earth
July 25, 2008
I came across this fascinating piece of research recently that i found in an article dating back to 1993.
The article below and list of mindboggling domains will keep you awake tonight i guarantee and make you think of the ‘what ifs’ .
Many of these domains and websites are still going, some are the original owners , others have changed hands over the years or been dropped and re-registered.
Two word domains
July 11, 2008
Going to keep an eye out for noticeable two word domain sales of note, as they don’t get so much press.
Often they are spotted at sedo & afternic, and any other private sales will be reported.
A big one i noticed at sedo.com today: AdultMatch.com sold for $95,000
Recent Sales
The domain was originally registered in 1997. I will keep this thread updated.

3 Years is not sensationalist, they are saying possibly way less, and there could be a whole lot of other ramifications.
