I always get a bit anxious when searching for a good domain because I think someone might be analyzing these queries and might reserve the name before me if they want to.

I've heard similar stories from people trying to buy from GoDaddy.

Is it? I came to the conclusion it was my Twitter and GH goofup.

How would GoDaddy directly benefit from this?

There's a lot of stories about people searching for a domain on GoDaddy, seeing a good deal - and by the time they fill out the information the domain is purchased. By who? By GoDaddy.

But this one was bought by CSC Global which is a corporation in itself. Ofcourse, unless GoDaddy sells the information and has some sort of partnership with CSC.

Tbh, I think CSC's modus has to be murkier than just scanning the interweb for empty pointing domains and clues.

Edit: Shit, the horror. http://antigodaddy.com
