iCarly.com Episode Focuses on Domain Drops and Cybersquatters
After a long day catching up after being out of the office for the past couple days I come home tonight and my family is watching one of my daughters favorite shows, iCarly. iCarly focuses on a teenage girl and her friends that run a web show on her domain name iCarly.com. As a domain name investor its always been interesting to watch a show that was created on the plot line of a teenager having a website named iCarly.com and then the TV show was named after the web show.
Well tonight, the first thing I heard when I walked in was that the plot to the show tonight was that one of the crazed fans of the show had picked up the domain name iCarly.com after it dropped due to the stars brother canceled the credit card that it automatically renews on.
After the fan agreed to transfer the name back it was then transferred to their biggest hater in error.
OK, so I know this is not real domainer news but I thought it was funny nonetheless. To see domain drops and cybersquatting on a show that focuses on tweens was a bit strange.
I watched that show some time ago, that is really funny that they would be using that plot because the target audience is so young. But, hey, maybe teens are into domains after all. If i ever meet a teen that likes domains, I will send him to chefs blog, if you had one I would tell him to go there. Great idea you should start a blog!
Have a good one,
Brian aka TeenDomainer
OMG, you crack me up:)
Does Chef write about cooking?
Hahah, I don’t think most teens know what a domain name is
Wonder what the executives at iCarly were thinking when making up that plot.
Yea, I’ve seen that episode. I was yelling at the TV, saying how dumb, lol.
Chef no cook!
Congrats on the new blog Bruce. About time you started blogging!
I like turtles.
My daughter watches iCarly every day. I like her watching it for that reason. I don’t think I have seen a kid’s show yet touch on the terminology or technology that is close to what we do. iCarly does video blogging, too!
I just registered i-Carly.com.
just kidding.
