I registered a domain for a project a year ago and lost interest after about six months. Still I think it is a decent domain name and I don't want to release it in the void. I'd much prefer if a HNer would get it from me and build it into something great.<p>If you are similarly sitting on cool domain names from abandoned projects or weekend hacks, here is a google spreadsheet for you to share them:<p>https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aue8w7GPjATXdF9jSW1IV3BlWE1TYjM3R0JMV1hYUHc&hl=en
three killers domain I own (and what I paid):<p>- kokua.com (5k) (to help in hawaiian)<p>- 20.com (70k) (20 means location on radio)<p>- aday.com (40k) (as in joke.aday.com, ".... A day.")<p>- lowimpact.com and noimpact.com (10k)... wanted to do a green blog.<p>If there were technical founders who wanted office space, angel backing and me as a founder/partner, I'd consider using one of the domains. You would have to be willing to live/work in Santa Monica (a really nice place to live fyi), I'd be open to any pitches....<p>i had my own ideas for each domain, but with Open Angel Forum booming (8 cities, 24 events a year... going to 12 cities, 36 events per year next year), Mahalo booming (20m uniques a month) and ThisWeekIn.com on fire (25 shows, $1m run rate, 14 employees in < 6 months) I'm too busy to <i>lead</i> new companies.<p>oh yeah, i'm hosting the launch conference on Feb 23rd and 24th and launching the email newsletter. so, that's like five companies in a year on top of my 15 angel investments a year.<p>ping me jason at mahalo.com
No, use this instead:<p><a href="http://www.idlingdomains.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.idlingdomains.com/</a><p>This came out a few months ago and there's a collection of URLs up there already.
These spreadsheets are always vandalized, abandoned and then forgotten. Usually they go through that entire cycle within a single day.<p>If you are serious about it then find a better platform, or whip one up in django/rails.
How about people list their domains here?<p>Right now, it is hard to tell who is real and who is fake without a large up front expenditure in time. Using HN, we can all do it collectively and reduce the time spent by each.
(Just follow ErrantX style)
151+ Unregistered .co Domains startuppers/HNers may be interested in: <a href="http://www.getr.co" rel="nofollow">http://www.getr.co</a>
Maybe a second sheet could be added that lists a domain a HNer found to be available but did not want to buy for himself(like the list I created). So any HNer who needs a domain can can get a quick list of awesome names.<p>Startup Idea: A Hipmunk/SeatGeek for buying and selling of webdomains!!!
<a href="http://www.getr.co/startup-ideas/ahipmunkforbuyingandsellingofwebdomains" rel="nofollow">http://www.getr.co/startup-ideas/ahipmunkforbuyingandselling...</a>
I have a ton of domains that I would partner or give away. All were potential business ideas at one point (I'm happy to discuss just email me...)<p>- adafio.com - online ads<p>- advergy.com - same<p>- cheqd.in - social check-ins<p>- faq5.com - faq software<p>- faqable.com - same<p>- funyl.com - marketing<p>- hiremill.com- freelancers<p>- nnder.com - no idea :)<p>- pillur.com - web app<p>- quibbr.com - web app<p>- usedly.com - used marketplace<p>- vinegr.com - web app<p>- wispur.com - web app<p>- vmayor.com - "virtual mayor" social app
Cute, someone just deleted the whole spreadsheet. This is why we can't have nice things.<p>Anyhow, I have a few I'd be willing to sell: meeep.com, crapucopia.com, lolwhut.com, railsapplication.com, rofflez.com, taxonome.com, tweetannotations.org/.info, youshouldbuymesomething.com, webuildwebapplications.com/.net/.info<p>Just want to sell them; not interested in startup equity, you aunt's horse, or sharing an apartment in the Bay in exchange. :P

I own spellwith.me and spellwithme.com... I was thinking of an interactive spelling-game type of site for elementary school teachers/students or ESL.<p>Something like <a href="http://www.spellingcity.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.spellingcity.com/</a> which is sucks in numerous ways but seems to be popular with educators.<p>I don't have the time for this project but maybe someone else is interested?
I think "exchange" should be defined more specifically.<p>"Exchange" for another domain only? Exchange for a <i>reasonable</i> fee? I'd consider $20 or under a reasonable fee. Some registrars might have a transfer fee of some sort - I'm generally willing to cover that cost as well.<p>"Compensation" is already being called for here - "exchange" - it's just not defined what that is.
<a href="http://androidrevisions.com" rel="nofollow">http://androidrevisions.com</a><p>Started this site as a way to search and filter OS Android Roms. My initial dataset was from androidspin.com, and I said as much. Just wanted a useful tool, instead I got shit from the Android "Community" for ripping off the guy's dataset. Their app for searching and filtering is still terrible, whereas I built something useful in about a day. Code was on github, I've since deleted it.<p><a href="http://areyousmokingcrack.com" rel="nofollow">http://areyousmokingcrack.com</a><p>Joke domain, thought it would be funny to geolocate users and predict whether they are in a "crack-belt" and respond appropriately.<p><a href="http://isitti.me" rel="nofollow">http://isitti.me</a><p>In-joke the CS students at Pace University have about smoking cigarettes. Is it?<p><a href="http://istheinternetup.com" rel="nofollow">http://istheinternetup.com</a><p>If this page didn't load, you would know for sure the internet was down ;)
- ProgrammerCookbook.com - Was gonna be where people code post code examples for various different languages etc.<p>- ConTickets.com - Think ticket master for Con's.<p>- FearCore.com - Featured Halloween stuff<p>- MyCollegeBlackboard.com - Was gonna make tools for when I was in college to help me study (Flash cards, etc. did some work with it and I got it to be able to import a lot of material that the textbooks offered on their supplemental sites.) Also wanted to offer grade trackers and a lot of other things.<p>- nTheMarket.com - eBay type site, may revisit this pretty soon.<p>- UndergroundGamer.com - never really done a lot with it.<p>There's a lot more, but those are the ones that I had really planned out.
I'd be willing to trade, sell or partner up to actually build the following domains/ideas:<p>- AggregateDesign.com<p>- BuyJives.com<p>- CampusAI.com - forum+wiki for college students (made UI for it a while back)<p>- Everyday(Arab|Latino|Desi).com - news sites/blogs for each community (also made UI and template for it)<p>- GameFav.com<p>- GradSchoolRejects.com - Forum for people who can't get into graduate school (what to do next, etc.)<p>- LinkCrap.com<p>- LinkTard.com<p>- nfektus.com - Social sharing site, automatically sends your link to n random friends on upvote<p>- ngamr.com - social games site?<p>- SoFound.com<p>- StartMyself.com<p>E-mail address is in profile, get in touch.
Here's a few domains I have been sitting on that were going to be used for projects. Email me if interested.<p>- AmazingCode.com - blog about good coding practices, principles, etc.<p>- GeekVentures.com - blog or business<p>- PeerVine.com - social network based on like-minded individuals<p>- RankWire.com - web app, rank stuff<p>- SalaryGuru.com - web app, find out what you should be paid<p>- SnapCaster.com - web app, similar to photokast.com<p>- SoloDeveloper.com - blog for an independent developer<p>- USBApps.com - something similar to portableapps.com<p>- WebCurio.com - web app, bookmark service? (curio: something unusual worthy of collecting)
I own the domain lifelytics.com<p>At some point, I wanted to start a startup doing life analytics. Sorta like RescueTime, but for your real life and not just your internet life. Instead of your browser, it would use your phone (which most people have on them 24/7) to collect metrics on your life.<p>I'm probably not going to get around to doing this in the near future, so I'd be willing to sell it to someone who would have better use of it.
Nice - Would be cool to create a similar spreadsheet for the opposite - domains wanted - or domain names suitable and available for different types of apps/sites
I have three domain names that I have added to the spreadsheet and would sell.<p><pre><code> NHS.info
LoveVenture.com/.co.uk
SeedRound.co.uk</code></pre>
Here are some I own and someday hope to develop (been saying that for a long time)<p>ransm.com<p>jobify.me - Job site<p>dejunkify.com - I don't quite remember maybe a site to put you in touch with trusted people to haul stuff off.<p>blogpress.net<p>daycationing.com<p>These two are someday going to be "local for sale by owner" type sites for 2 Texas counties.<p>bexarfsbo.com<p>travisfsbo.com
twiddit.com<p>Twitter sorted with a ranking algorithm. For people that don't read everything in the stream, the good stuff gets voted up and hangs out at the top, the bad stuff gets voted down and falls faster.<p>Twitter search actually kind of works this way. If you search a popular term, things with many RT's are always at the top. The whole site could be that way.<p>You could also use the in_reply_to ids to make a Reddit-style comment tree. (Even #newtwitter doesn't show conversations well.)<p>Thinking about it now, it's Reddit with a 140 char limit, except you don't have the chicken-and-egg problem, since you're using the firehose to pre-populate with content.<p>Let me know if you want to do this. It may be our next pivot if our current [shameless plug coming] startup, Heyo (<a href="http://heyo.com" rel="nofollow">http://heyo.com</a>, coming soon) doesn't work.
What happened, I was working on it and then ...
Why isn't their an option, so that users can only as (1 or x rows) and be able to delete/update only these rows.<p>I have one domain to sell, it's Codeinput.com (more than 1 year old), started a blog on it last year and then left it.
I remember idlingdomains.com being posted here on HN at one point which sought to solve the same problem. The issue I remember people having with it at the time was that you had to redirect the idle domain to their website for it to be picked up and added to the list.
I've got a few, the spreadsheet has no validity<p>valm.com - pronounceable LLLL.com
blinek.com - village in poland
mintmade.com
clearobject.com
sidelife.net/.org<p>Part of a blogging network:
builtfordesigners.com
builtfordevelopers.com
builtforbloggers.com
Here's a "help wanted" post instead of a "for sale":<p>I want to do a research-oriented tech podcast but I'm looking for a cool name. If anyone can think of one (and has the domain to match), I'd be willing to pay as much as I can scrape together.
I registered apithings.com and apithin.gs for a side project that I still haven't gotten around to finishing. You can guess what the general theme is. I also managed to snag lus.is which made me infinitely happy. Not giving that one up ;)
I own RECTOID.COM, a colleague was trying to describe a shape and he came out with that. After a giggle I checked whois and was surprised it hadn't gone. So I ordered it and done nothing with it. It has a certain goatse tone about it.
The spreadsheet is a bit of a mess. I've got a two letter that I need to let go, though. <a href="http://rr.tl" rel="nofollow">http://rr.tl</a><p>Great for a URL shortener or the likes, I figure. Trade/sell works for me!
i own a couple that haven't gone anywhere, currently i used them to teach myself various things (PHP, JQuery, etc.)<p>post2coast.com/posttocoast.com - was supposed to be a local site for rentals or classifieds<p>groovenine.com - for a buddy who likes house music, not much going on there right now<p>nostradumbus.com - currently teaching myself PHP on this one, i hope to set up something like onesentence.org, but for predictions of the future.<p>chugandgrub.com - hope to set up some kind of happy- hour/dinner/lunch/breakfast notification system

I've a few that I'd like to see used eventually:<p>* inhaling.com - political satire?<p>* awk.us - because awk is cool<p>* grep.us - something unixy and searchy<p><edited formatting>
I have been sitting on websitez.com for a long time now.<p>I am currently working on a potential project with it, but it is still in the early stages.<p>I am open to anything really.
If anyone want to work on any of these domains, let me know. I don't have time to work on these right now.<p>ADSENSEHELPFORUM.COM<p>ADSENSESUCCESSSTORIES.COM<p>FLASHCARDSBABY.COM
Meh, spreadsheet is a mess already :(<p>If anyone wants to trade something for <a href="http://snappyhistory.com" rel="nofollow">http://snappyhistory.com</a> drop me a line
I own athansor.com (Athansor is the name of the white horse in Mark Helprin's novel "Winter's Tale"), you can have it for free if you want it, expires in March 2011.
Someone please implement a cool idea for boringtosser.co.uk that jefffoster is exchanging. There is way too much awesomeness in that name for it to sit idle.
in response to this, i spent a few hours creating this app:<p><a href="http://hntrades.com/" rel="nofollow">http://hntrades.com/</a><p>you can post domains for sale/trade and send messages to other users to negotiate trades.<p>i made it a bit generic so you can also post books or computer equipment that you might have for trade.
livinglocation.com<p>I've been trying to think of something cool to do with it for a couple of years now but haven't thought of anything great. I'm not sure if I want to give it up but am open to ideas.
I own a lot of domains, but the best of them all would have to be <a href="http://meatgalore.com" rel="nofollow">http://meatgalore.com</a> I bought it with the intention of making a meat focused groupon type site, but upon realization of its awesome porn potential the project kind of died.<p>I'd be willing to part with it to someone who wants to make a kick ass gay porn site. Its not really a profit thing for me. I just want a story to tell.
<a href="http://www.TutorialShop.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.TutorialShop.com</a> - bought many years ago, can't seem to come up with a good enough Tutorial model for this site. Willing to partner or trade.
