Ask HN: What unwanted domain names are you sitting on?
Find a good domain name is getting harder and harder. I found out a thread in HN from 3 years ago and I think is relevant and could be useful to a lot of people, myself included.
- byoung2 14y agoHere are some domains I'm sitting on, with descriptions of what I originally planned to do with them: inputsandoutputs.com - mechanical turk-like API for outsourcing pingathon.com - website/server monitoring schedulicio.us (schedulicious.com, schedulicio.com) - online scheduling
- bavidar 14y agodealpuncher.com - daily deal site bootclipper.com tubilee.com hangtrend.com - old startup moved to dress.me
- dkisit 14y agowhat are your plans for dress.me?
- wrongcards 14y agoweedbear.com - a webcomic I don't have time to build (though my drafts are pretty funny).
- jrnkntl 14y agositewithpornonit.com - well, hard to guess empwire.com - wired empire (wut?) catato.com - cats that look like potatoes
- Mz 14y agoFunny. I used "Emp" as one of my son's online nicknames at one point and briefly I ran a list called "wired for science", about/for kids with brainwiring like my sons have, kids who are also kind of "live wires". I have no idea what I would do with "empwire" but that's what I thought of when I saw the name.
- Casseres 14y agoI love catato, I laughed when I read that. Sounds like it could be a good meme, even if it is short-lived. A weekend project perhaps?
- cmaxwe 14y agobrewhaha.org
- idanb 14y agofastfoodandwine.com
- Casseres 14y agobookcrime.com - Was going to be a place where students could cut out the middle man and sell textbooks to each other (sub-domains for specific campuses for face to face transactions), lost interest in that, but I still really like the domain name. getelected.org - Idea is for a wiki-style resource for regular people to get involved/elected in their local governments. . I had to let a few others expire that I lost interest in. At least one of them has been picked up by an established non-profit that redirects to their main site.
- slash-dot 14y agosqldocs.com

- sp4rki 14y agochickenfury.com - Ohhh the oxymoron made me do it. I even had a mascot in mind, though I've never gotten around to use it. lamborgenie.com - Pretty obvious if you ask me :P
- AncoraImparo 14y agowww.sweckle.com -I bought this with the intention of creating a social network for professionals. Then linkedin happened. Haha
- sandis 14y agotweetby.com gadgetum.com mabify.com fosoc.com subscri.pt
- temiri 14y agosubscri.pt is pretty cool. That would be a nice URL for a blog.
- bproctor 14y agodowtrack.com
- wiradikusuma 14y agofoobarnation.com - planned to be an ecommerce for geek apparels. a nation of foo bars, innit? loladoku.com - wanted to build something like mint.com. bangbingbong.com - supposedly like twitter, but more anonymous. joompa.me - social networking. i'm planning to repurpose this domain for my dating website. achievery.com - haven't thought for the idea. bought it because it sounds cool. animalystique.com - planned for a chinese horoscope app, but apparently the name is too long. i let this expire. mentioned here in case somebody find the name interesting. obviously none of them manifests, otherwise i wouldn't put them here.

- jeremymcanally 14y agosharing.io invoices.io keys.io fubar.io tele.io I've mentioned some of these before, but then decided I didn't want to part with some of them for "maybe one day projects." Not anymore; I'm just ready to be rid of them honestly. I'll take $100 for any of them (buy them all for $400 ;)). That won't really even cover the reg fees for as long as I've had them, but it'll recover a bit of the investment at least. Just e-mail me (HN username at GMail) and we'll do it. :)

- jbigelow76 14y agoReasonable offers considered. If you really do consider reasonable offers you are part of a rare breed :) I have yet to email the owner of an unused domain name, Godaddy parking page still intact just like when they registered it three years ago, offered them a few hundred dollars and not gotten a response back that would be more appropriate for haggling over the price of their first born child.
- jonah 14y agoI sold a domain for five figures and have given others away for free. I've turned down offers for four figures and two figures... :) I know there's a lot more to a brand than the domain name, and I know a good name is important to a brand... :) FWIW.
- jbigelow76 14y ago> I know there's a lot more to a brand than the domain name, and I know a good name is important to a brand... :) Well said. My little bit of snark was aimed at the domain industry, not you, obviously.
