I was playing around with a domain name suggestion tool the other day and I noticed that stevenlohrenz.net and stevenlohrenz.org have been registered at the beginning of December. They're registered to the same person too. Crazy!

I suppose that the person who registered those domain names is hoping that some people will go to the .org or .net names instead and they'll earn a few pennies if someone clicks on one of the ads there. Or they hope that someday, I'll be famous and they can sell it for a tidy profit. Well, good luck to them on that.

I call domain name squatting speculation and hoping. It's not a real business. Hoping and praying that someone will mistype a url and you'll get a visitor is not a plan for success. Or banking on someone else doing a lot of work to get famous and earning off their fame is a fools errand.
