After many years of being unused, the original domain auction style Drop Catch site domainwatch.com.au has been secured by Drop.
Going back to the start of the Australian domain name expired drops, DomainWatch emerged and started to provide a valuable service for domain investors and anyone that was looking to secure great domain names as they became available. Many great names dropped during the initial years.
Domainer wrote an article recently covering the complete history of Australian drop catching services. DomainWatch was later rebranded to Drop.com.au and has continued to provide a valuable drop catching service since its launch in 2008.
That logo takes me way way back. I think I created it in MS Paint as a temporary logo and it lasted way too long.
Domain Watch was a venture when George and I worked at Domain Central many years ago.
You had to pay $500 to join and it was a pretty exclusive group of about 400 Domainers who we looked after.
I wonder where the 400 are today?
I know where 47 is đŸ˜‰
