Ades posted about a unique new website the other day called Picky Domains. It’s such a simple idea, I’m curious as to why this hasn’t been done before.
Here’s how they explain it themselves :
Looking for a cool domain name, but can’t think of one yourself? Think all the good domains are already taken? You’ll love PickyDomains.Com
Here is how it works. You deposit $50 and give us your specifications. Our contributors start submitting their domain name suggestions. When you see that perfect domain, you just register it. If none of our suggestions worked for you – you just get your money back. See, there is no risk involved.
If you become a contributor then you will get $25 (50%) sent to your PayPal account. It’s a really good idea and it’s certainly a site I will think of using next time I’m stuck for a new for a new project.

I was reading yesterday that Jeremy Schoemaker, AKA ShoeMoney, is suing a Google employee for adword and trademark violations.
As a known moneymaker, Schoemaker trademarked ShoeMoney to stop people using his name for profit. With regards to Adwords, this meant that no one could target the word ShoeMoney except for Jeremy Schoemaker himself. However, ShoeMoney noticed one person who was getting through the adwords system and was making money through his trademarked name.
To cut a long story short, he tried contacting the owner of the site (myincentivewebsite.com) but was not replied to. His ‘Cease and Desist’ was not answered either. After going through the courts and forcing the host to replace the website owners information it turns out that the guy worked at Google as an AdWords Account Strategist. The guy had been using his position to bypass the adword controls and view all the keywords and phrases that ShoeMoney had been targeting.
It looks like ShoeMoney has a very good chance of winning this case (as well he should). Here’s hoping it works out well for him
