  1. Congrats to the owner of ecig.com! If they really are going to launch soon the .co people are about to experience mass confusion.

  2. Checking in to also agree with Snoopy;s wise comment above. Bad move. Ecig.COM will be the big winner here. Same thing will happen with gtld’s. Anyone that tries to use one will suffer the same fate. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

  3. People are migrating from their .co.uk to a .uk, wouldn’t a .co be just as good for different reasons. One thing for sure, .Com Trumps ALL! p.s. In his list he had numerous pros to acquiring the domain name and only 2 cons.The Amount and the other was for the principle. Funny how their are many like him that believe he was somehow wronged and doesn’t see the obvious which is he coveted something that was not his to a point he thought it belonged to him. Principles, Yeah Whatever.

    These guys should have asked, we could of sold them a nice property, ElectricCigs.com, which already receives a decent amount of type-in traffic. Oh well, they can always pay the PPC price for a listing on the domain. No worries there.
