This afternoon I went to purchase a domain name I had looked up a couple of months ago.  At the time it was free and I felt like I needed to add it to my collection today.  Well, wouldn’t you know it.  Someone/Company has purchased the domain.  I am bummed… it was a catchy - short-ish domain name and I thought it would be cool to have.  By no means does it contain any super keywords or anything like that, but it was cool and I wanted to get it and now I’m literally a day late and a dollar short.

Now it wouldn’t really totally bother me - because there are always domain names available.  But this bothered me when I looked up who bought the domain name I realized they purchased it the same time I looked it up on June 11th - which is what I remember because I have notes!  LOL.  I wish I could remember which site it was that I did the domain lookup.  I find it very … odd.  You know how you find people purchasing domain names where they have a technology to find what people are looking for - and then go and try to resell it to them later for a crazy amount of cash.

No, that hasn’t happened.  But man - this is just really an odd, odd coincidence.

I’m ticked.

I’ll admit it.

What sucks even more is the guy who bought it has put up a super shitty landing page.  Gah.  I could have made it a beautiful place and he’s bunging it up with crappy offers from Commission Junction - hello ringtones anyone?

Gah…. what’s a girl to do.  I guess I’ll just keep looking for something else and hopefully this crappy feeling will go away.

I’m not sure if any of you have experienced something like this, because in all my years online - this is the first time that I feel like someone was tracking what I was looking for and then took it.
