A Quick Rant on Web Addresses

Dear Annoying Person,

Its cool that like 12 years ago you bought http://www.rosalyn.com but you’re not doing anything with it. And the thing is in 3 short months I will be married with a new last name, so I need a new domain.

I wanted to go with something generic, like just my first name.  But no, you won’t let me because you just HAVE TO hang on to something you’re not using AT ALL!  And to be even more annoying, the last time the way back machine indicates you had anything of substance was Feb. 14 2001.

So anyway my point is this.  Stop hogging domains.  If you’re not using them don’t keep them.  Set them free.

And http://www.rosalyn.com I’m considering gunning for you……

Sincerely,

Rosalyn Metz (soon to be Hadzipanajotis…and no I’m not considering buying http://www.hadzipanajotis.com no one could spell that)

  1. Sadly, they’re waiting for someone to offer them lots of money for it. Like it or not, the internet became full of capitalism sometime around 10 years ago.

    Just keep the Rosalyn Metz domain!! :) Or, what about rosalyn!.com (or some additional character in there)??

  4. Rosalyn,

    This is what whois is for. Send them a note and ask whether they still want the domain they’re not using!
