Side thought: nice domain. Registered since 2007, but you were keeping it in case you had a nice idea to use with?

I'd like to hear how you got this domain as well.

I tried to bid for 'bt.io' due to my name sharing the initialism; that thing wound up going for quite a bit. You're probably sitting on a goldmine here, OP.

The submitter has posted about registering .IO domains on her/his blog: http://hack.ly/articles/app-io-acquired/

Interesting information about the drop time. This might be valuable if you happen to have a list of domains that are about to elapse the 90-day renewal grace period.

Ugh I bought Ask.io for one of my own projects. Domai.nr said it was available, I paid, and after about a month they informed it it didn't go through for some reason I don't remember (thankfully refunding me). I was pretty pissed... I had already made shirts.

Domainr is fun (and really neat) to find cool domain names, but they're not a registrar, they just output affiliate links.

Reminder: gandi.net has 29€/year .io registration and they provide top notch service.

ha, sorry man. Do you still have the shirts? I may be interested.
