Offended - As a Domainer, BY a domainer

[GoPC]

Just browsing through the news and I saw an article about new breakthroughs in Stem Cell Research... called "SOMATIC CELL DEDIFFERENTIATION"

Immediately, I thought, "I bet some squatter has jumped right on that".

Then I though, "No way, that would be a HUGE domain and nobody would EVERY spell it correctly".

But then I thought, "well... I wouldn't put it past them"

So I checked......

The news came out today, 20-Nov-2007

Domain IS registered. When? You guessed it Created on: 20-Nov-07

I hope and pray that I am wrong, because after searching for some things on Google today and finding NOTHING but parked pages and coming to the conclusion that parking, squatting and domaining is truly out of control, I find this... another nail in the coffin.

But it looks as if yet another positive breakthrough for the masses has been gobbled up by a cyber-squatting opportunist looking to extort profit from the masses.

Ho hum....

that's one of the fun parts - the hunt after new

despite such windfalls, don't forget that those that follow new news get burned more often than not or have to renew a bunch to realize any profits so there is risk involved when reg'ing the thingamabobber, and especially those that cant resist reg'ing the freethingamabobber

I posted something like this in the L-L-L thread this afternoon as I tried to get an L-L-L acronym but they were gone (I-P-S). I don't think there is anything wrong with grabbing generic modern medical advances. Just like when a new solar technology comes out, why not try and grab it if you think it will be huge?

gary-

my post this afternoon-

Also found this interesting...

A new stemcell break through came out I-P-S so I checked what was reg'd and the .com was $5K (buydomains)but was interesting was that the .net was gone and redirecting to a tshirt site and the info was fully developed as a German body guard site.

Well... it seems I've stirred up some discussion. :D

My post was partially in jest, partially in fact. My point is that WOW WAS THAT FAST!!!

That's the problem with the written word as opposed to the spoken word. Sarcasm doesn't play well.

Ho hum...

I dont know about anyone else. But i would have done the same exact thing. Why not? He got a lead, he capitalized for now, and hopefully he will sell for profit later on.
