Jennifer Gabrielli, I tried … But not all domainers are a&*holes

Hello my fellow NPer's


This is just such a cool article by Acro I had to post it here.

Mashable made this video famous this morning; featuring Jennifer Gabrielli as the maid of honor and sister to the bride, rapping her speech in an adaptation of Eminem’s song, “Without me.”

Within two hours, the YouTube video had 20,000 views that far exceeded the expectations of Benny Ek Media who shot the wedding video.

Seeing how a young, talented professional was about to have their domain name snatched and squatted upon, I contacted Benny Ek via email, advising him to spend $10 and get JenniferGabrielli.com registered.

Unfortunately, by late afternoon, Barry Garner, a fellow domainer decided to perform the following:

Reposted the video on his venture, Pinned.com – a Pinterest clone
Tweeted about the reposted video
Registered JenniferGabrielli.com
Registering the name of a person that just so happens to gain sudden fame from their personal or social activities, is an act of douchebaggery in my book. Had I known that someone would move in so fast to get the domain for their own benefit, I would have called Benny Ek on the phone instead.

This kind of thing has always giving us a bad name throughout the Internets history.

On the bright side here's the video! It's, in a word, Awesome, in two words Awesome Sauce!

I'm not sure why this was moved to this section?

And you wonder why domainers get a bad rap (no pun intended).

Just another day in domain paradise.

You gotta be quick at this day in age. Maybe now that he's seen how fast it happens he'll actually register the domain before launching the video next time..

At least you did more than most others would do..You tried to let them know!
