How many unused domains do you have?

I have one unused domain that my mother asked me to register, but she's not done anything about it in 3 years.

Helps them rank on google quicker (if you plan on putting stuff on there you want google to find)

hellisotherhipsters.com will be good if i ever go into the cafepress tshirt bidness one day

I used to see tons of ad sites for 'big bucks' for people selling their 'nice' web addresses, but hey I never saw a bid for any of them on ebay.

I have memorygongs.com (tis a cocteaus songtitle). I liked the name as a jumping off for a blog I have run for years (hell, since before the word "blog" really, I just called it a journal and had short stories and things).

When I moved the hosting and website I didnt copy across all my pages, so now its in a bit of a limbo. I host photos on it tho.

haha, that's awesome. did you try to follow through on the business?

btw the domain I forgot I bought is originalsouth.com which I actually really like. I need to find out if my brother is going to use it for a real label or not so I can think of another for my book.

Nope. I still think it could work, though when I tell people about the concept, they look at me funny. As the daughter of a lesbian, I see that it could serve lots of people to have a place to claim the ancestors of their parental units, even if their parental units are not in the same blood line. It's still fun to trace family history. I bought the name when gay marriage looked like it would be legal in multiple states, figuring when couples get married, they could post their trees.

AFter my grandmother died I started trying to map our family with some genaology software. It was hard to try and fit in "real dad my mom never met" and various adopted parents, stepfathers now banished, etc. I think some of my family would rather leave those people off but I think if you're going to do a history it needs to be thorough and accurate.
