Today I created a site where you can post your unused domain names

The idea with this project is when you're hunting for domains, it's a nice list of leads for domains that developers might be willing to sell / swap / donate for the right project.

Also, I would feel bad if people on freedns started using my domain and I wanted to take back my domain to use for a project.

Nice idea. I'll try to list a few later tonight.

OK, got most of them added. I'll let you know if anything comes of it...

If you don't want this to turn into a marketplace for squatters, you should really set some ground rules. For example, you may say that people can't post domain names that they're selling for more than $100. That's just one thing, there are probably others that could help this website not turn into a trash collector.

Added apidoc.info, boof.me, methodize.me, projectify.me, and tweetsoncrack.com (yeah I went on a little bit of a .me domain buying spree when they came out). Just waiting for DNS to update now.

Is it bad to want to sell domains that you are no longer going to use? As I went through my list, I got excited again about a bunch of the original ideas I had for them. The problem, as my grandfather used to say, is that my eyes were bigger than my stomach. That is to say that I don't have the time to create the site and market the business that I'd like to for each of them.

I don't think he's saying it's necessarily bad to sell domain names but I think the intention here is to help out your fellow hackers.

If you've got a domain you're not using and a member of this community can make use of it I think that's good karma.
