I got started in tech early. There wasn’t a consensus yet that .com was going to be the main domain. Most of the domains were still available. La, NY, all the states, furniture.com, music, movies, shopping.com were all there. It cost $75 to register a domain back then. To cover all the main ones, I’d been out $250 on each domain. I advocated for borrowing the money but the wife overruled me. I give her crap about it all the time.
Obviously, should have put it on credit cards, borrowed it from someone etc. but, my focus was on this new family, changing careers and not pursuing money. Young and dumb like many.  |
Did people really make money off that, or did the big companies just throw lawyers at them and force them into bankruptcy? I read something the other day about the guy who owned nissan.com, and his fight with the car company. Check out
