My #1 Doh moment so far
I sold the domain name socialgraph.com for $1500 to some woman claiming inexorably to want it for "just a personal homepage". Ah well, I thought, I will probably never get around to building something for this particular domain anyway, might as well make a few bucks.
A few weeks later, Mark Zuckerberg is on Web 2.0 Summit telling about something he calls the Social Graph and I whip up the whois results for socialgraph.com.
Administrative contact: someone@facebook.com
Doh! Would probably have been able to score a few more bucks from recognizing the term social graph before Mark did.
Proof is in whois record history for socialgraph.com.
- dools 16y agoYou shouldn't have been domain camping in the first place :)
- martinkallstrom 16y agoMaybe not :) Although I'm reluctant to call it camping when you have a clear idea of something to accomplish with the domain. Even if it's not to take over the world :)
- nkassis 16y agoYou still made a profit ;p stop looking in the back mirror OR just build something to take on facebook ;p
