    A message from 1995

    I found this post on the message board dated back in 1995. It's hilarious.

    [ I was amused to discover that they reserved DEODERANT.COM and not
    DEODORANT.COM. Clearly there is an important domain name still to be
    had by the non-orthographically-challenged. ]

    Subject: P&G Domain name idiocy


    I sent this to Wired and the editors said it was the funniest thing
    they've seen all week, and they're following up.


    Apparently, someone at Proctor & Gamble heard about the importance of
    registering a good domain name, and the horrors of domain-name
    hustling. But why stop with the corporate name (PG.COM) and major
    trademarks? Why not also protect HEADACHE.COM, DIARRHEA.COM,
    UNDERARM.COM, BADBREATH.COM, and anything else even remotely related to
    personal hygiene? I kid you not... I just did a whois on DIARRHEA.COM
    and it's real...


    Do these guys look absolutely silly, or am I just over-sensitive this morning?

    "Do these guys look absolutely silly, or am I just over-sensitive this morning?"

    Well they look pretty smart at this stage..some very nice domains in the list.. you can find similiar registrations by Yahoo, AOL, TORO, IBM etc.. they all tried to cover all the bases for possible traffic. and a lot of tyhem still do.. have you looked at .info, .Biz .US registrations these companies have made !

    If I remember right, they let these all expire about a year or more ago, after unsuccessfully trying to sell them for $1M each

    P&G sold FLU.COM at over $350,000.

    i heard the many domains dropped on Nov 8th, 2001, but I still doubt that.
