Tim Z. got Dugg (Digged?) Sort Of.
Tim Ziegler, who some of you may know as they guy who wrote a rock opera based on robots named C9 and Alarmo, has been at the center of a Digg news link. The domain name of his long time pet project FamilyAlbum was more or less hijacked by GoDaddy. The article that’s linked to leads here. I’m sure this is not how Tim wanted FamilyAlbum to get mentioned on Digg.com. At any rate, I transfered over the domains I had on GoDaddy to a registrar I trust more today. I hope GoDaddy gives Tim his domain back.
Zack and I lost the domain “marinerairlines.com” in a similar situation. Our renewal notices were being sent to an email address we never checked, and they sold our domain at auction to a company that apparently makes it a practice to snap up expired domains in the hopes that they can then sell them back to their owners for a dramatically accelerated price.
Boo.
