A Geek's Life: Patience dot net

    Mynames.com, .net, and .org aren't vanity plates anymore - they're crucial marketing strategies. It's the difference between advertising yourself on Main Street or on MailStop B5983-Z.

    To get rickwolff.com I spent about $28 with GoDaddy to stand ready as my agent and grab it the minute it expired, which it did the day it said it did, without a grace period. I can't picture how Terminal would have helped, but then, I think I've used Terminal once, and have a healthy respect (i.e., fear) for it.
    Once, when I was shopping for an already-held domain name, I went to the stated site, which invited me to make a bid greater than $10. So I bid $12. Then it asked for a bid greater than, I think, $90. I declined. Is "hagglebot" a word?
