Lol @ godaddy

My boss and I found an error with godaddy today and decided to follow it though.

It seems that a hacker or major error has occurred on godaddy's whois site today. The application is broken and needs to be repaired. Here is a snap shot.

whois.godaddy.com (68.178.211.43)
IP that is blocked (68.178.211.15)

It seems Godaddy owns the blocked IP and it seems a hacker has set up his own support email address to collect email addresses. Nameking does not appear to have any affiliation with godaddy whoatsoever.

Bad Bad for Godaddy.com

Which ones you got? Might as well laugh a bit with the way GoDaddy handled the .me process yesterday.

So, any other people got their hands on some nice .me domains?

GoDaddy and there .me issues yesterday were a joke

I use onlinenic.com but I had a friend that wasted $200 and only got 1 .me domain. Now he's waiting for a refund (might have gotten it today)

Your better off using onlinenic.com and moniker.com (moniker.com is a few pennies cheaper for .me)

Anyone have any good .me domains they wanna share? or know of some that have not been registered yet?

I got visual.me & colocate.me
