Hatching an Idea

Wayyyy back in December, @reese and I were chatting about eggs and ideas and design and such, and we churned up a great domain name:

TheIdeaHatchery.com

And it was set to expire in March, so I figured: Why not backorder it?

Why not indeed.

How about because when it expired, the registrar took ownership of it and tried to make a nice profit for themselves. Poop!

Note to self: When desperate for a nifty and nearly-expired domain, use your best poker face. And read what TheGirlPie suggests. (Love me some GirlPie)

So the registrar tried to make a sleazy buck or two, but they got nada in the end. I abandoned it when I saw their pricey price, and apparently everyone else did, too…because here comes June and darned if I didn’t spot the domain on the very day it came available.

It was meant to be, y’all!

So. Now what?

I have a domain, but not a plan. My Negative Nellie side wouldn’t let me dream until I had the domain in hand. And now that I have it, I’m stumped!

So I asked my Tweeple what to do with it, and got some fun replies :D

Hee! Already got 20 or so domains doing that, Shawn :)

Hmm…that’s sounding interesting, yah?

.

Woohoo!

.

Awesome questions! …and I dunno the answers :)

Ooo. Not just a community, but a forum with a bit o’ income?
Niiiice.
