Trellian Thoughts?

[DomainName]

There was a name that dropped last month and I had some interest in picking it up. I went to Trellian . com and completed a search to see how popular the keywords were. Long story short...I decided not to pick up this name.

Soooo tonight I checked who owned this dropped name and guess who it was...Trellian . com. I couldn't believe it! :upset:

Whois shows:

Has anyone experienced the same with this company??

Is this considered stealing keywords??

Read the TOS of many of those domain/ keyword/ whois/ research sites. Most retain all rights regarding searches on their sites. It ain't stealing --because they own the data!

It's why I guard my data and why I only search domains at Moniker.

Have fun sueing Trellian, they are located in Australia.

also as you decided not to pickup the domain, what is the issue?

I'm not upset about them taking the name...it is a worthless name. I was just suprised to see the name registered through them and wanted to know if anyone else experienced the same.

I would say it was just by chance. They are registering/tasting every drop they can get hands on.

I too like Moniker.com but don't forget they were just bought out so hopefully nothing changes but that is doubtful.

Not completely useless, don't forget about Trillian, it could be a typo or misspelling.
