Yup, some interesting ones in there. Sometimes I think some of those companies knew exactly what was about to happen.
Can you imagine knowing then what we know now? You could invest a few million buying up a load of domains and become… well, a billionaire.
many people did do that — remember the fiasco surrounding the mcdonalds.com domain — the guy had the nerve to actually use ronald@mcdonalds.com and e-mail Mc Corp…asking them for $$$$ for the domain — lol.
But it is so true though… I didn’t even knwo the internet or .com’s for that matter existed in the 80’s.
Oh the internet… remember when internic had the global monopoly on .com’s? Man they made a few pennies eh — It was like 70$ a year for a domain back than.
Oh how times have changed…what will be next? I wonder what new technology will enable the internet beyond what it is today… it seems like most of the stuff out there re: social networks and such…are just fads…
I ask you …what do users really want when they come online, if anything…

And there I was trying to get my hands on Think.com - I think I was a little late with my bid!
