It's owned by Oracle. Any oracle devs on here who want to ask corporate to gift someone a nice domain?
EDIT: Although I doubt they will, since they presumably acquired the upshot.com domain when they bought and killed upshot, a competing startup...

#17applapse.com sounds nice to me. It could connote a time lapse recording of an application and isn't registered. I like it.
iterup.com just came to me, is short, easish to say/spell and doesn't resolve.
iterrate.com - with this name, people could rate the designs as they change. Spelling is a bit off, but it's only a fun techie project so it perhaps matters less.

#18Archive.org already does that for you.
I also had a similar idea of tracking a startup through history (showing everything from historical alexa traffic to google news to tweets to screenshots to blog-mentions). Screenshots alone won't give a lot of information but if you add meta-information to it, you will be able to see the startup's evolution.

Huge corporations don't have a process in place to authorize such a transaction (unless you are offering them some serious money, in which case they will figure out a way).
