I admire the time and effort you put into your blog. I wish I had the same drive

I think you’re greatly overstating the importance of the domain name in this day and age. 10 years ago, sure, but not now.

Wow, that is truly amazing to see. If, as Mark suggests, I were only squatting on one of these domains as an investment, I would still put a little more work into the parking. I can only imagine the profits from such type-in traffic.

They’re not a waste of money at all just sitting there idle. They’ve obviously been bought for investment purposes. To actually develop them would simply be a waste of time, since in these cases, the value is in the name itself, not in any website that could go with them. If I owned one of these, I’d do exactly the same.

I look at it as inspiration.

Rather then get jealous over what these people own/have, it inspires me to try and work hard and not miss any new opportunities that pop up in the present and the future.

There is no point in agonizing over spilled milk.

Imagine what somebody could do with those domains … and imagine what kind of revenue he would generate with some developed websites… makes me cry

Those are very easy to memorize domain names…if they did a good SEO job on those..I’m sure those sites would rank higher…not only in Alexa but also in Google’s Page Rank..^^

I agree that these are wasted, but I am sure some of these owners are holding out for someone big to come along and offer them some ridiculous price for the domain. They don’t understand that the best domains are branded domains. But still, cool.com could go a long way for about anything.
