Of course those domain names would sell. Some sites catch attention by snapping all possible misspellings of a popular domain name. Another strategy is to create spoof sites that are easy to remember because they sound like a popular domain name.

Thanks, it's a good and reasonable advice. No matter how unfair what Facebook have done looks, I don't think it is wise to mess with the giant company. Just stay away from them.

It sucks! How did we end up in this position as a society? I mean in a few years some bozo celebrity airhead may own the blond hair style.

What exactly do you mean by "sell"? If you want to buy the domains, and them sell them for profit, i doubt somebody'll pay big money to get "justanotherfacebook.com"
If however you're interested in traffic, the domain name is a small part of what is necessary. I mean, look at Google
