Can you give us some backstory on how you acquired a single letter domain name, please.

  I wanted to find a 1-letter domain that was the easiest to type on a keyboard (with my 2-finger typing habit). I think that was back in 2006-ish days. So i found that typing keys C + . + GG requires an absolutely minimal amount of physical finger effort as hands are almost perfectly positioned above these keys. So I registered these. In fact back then there were a plenty of other 1-letter domain available up for a grabs. I used to do professional photo business and registered GO.GL - as my first name is Gleb (still have business cards laying around with this address). At the same time i thought that registering GOO.GL would be cool too - but back then the greenland (owner of this TLD) charged $50/yr + the only way you can register is by sending them a FAX. So I didn't bother. I am actually good at picking decent domain names even today.
