Behind the scenes at Katrina.com
Think katrina.com is the place to go for updates about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina? Well, you're right — sort of. Until a few days ago, the site was the home page of web designer Katrina Blankenship of Powhatan, Virginia. After fielding calls and emails about the hurricane as it approached the south, Blankenship decided to make it a resource for hurricane info. She says that it's often the first stop for those looking for info, and she's added a message board for people to post info. She's also turned down offers from domain brokers offering her up to $5,000 for the domain, along with a scammer who tried to snatch it from her by posing as a FEMA official.

Interresting post indeed. I am hardly surprised and I understand her move as it must have been quite a nuisance.
Back in 2001 I preferred to make up a non existing word for my own domain. For a little while I even had no spam.
I am still amazed how unruled this whole domain registration is. First names are long gone and in use for all kind of purposes:
www.emily.com
www.emma.com
www.madison.com
www.olivia.com
www.hannah.com
... and so on
(from the most popular woman names in the 2000s.
