Webitz - Checking out the Web from an amateur's point of view

Webitz - March 2007

Webitz.com

March 17th 2007 01:51
I found on a site called ZoomInfo.com that one Cheryl A Michaels is the apparent owner of Webitz.com However the last update of her page is back in May, 2004, and every link on the cached page goes back to a page which tells me Webitz.com is actually for sale as a domain name. I’m tempted to make an offer on it, so that both Webitz.com and Webitz.net would be under the same umbrella.
It’s plain that Cheryl isn’t interested in doing anything with it, even though she apparently owns a business called Webitz, about which I couldn’t immediately find anything else. (Read: too lazy to find anything else.)
It’s a frustrating thing that people hold onto domain names; is it because they intend at some point to take them up, or is it because they just want to hog them to themselves so no one else can have ‘em? Rather like the dog in the manger.
And it’s rather surprising in Cheryl’s case, since she’s listed as a certified web master and a college instructor who does a course that includes Designing High Impact Web Sites, writing HTML and Web Page Design & Planning, hasn’t gone ahead with her Webitz domain.
I've just noticed a small sentence down the right of the page: The owner of webitz.com is offering it for sale for an asking price of 300 $US!
I can understand the exclamation point.
