I wonder what others think about this quote. Could he not have started the same exact business with another domain? Is owning the "right" domain that important that is should "come first" and be forgotten without it? naively I'd think Google@2019 gives more importance to content then to the domain name. No?
- rossdavidh 7y agoYeah, my first thought was, "why would you spend that much on a domain name?" Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, all could have done just as well with different domain names. However, I guess it did function as a sort of method of brainstorming business ideas.

- MrStonedOne 7y agoIt means he picks up random domain names, and then tries to find an idea that matches/fits the domain name.
