20.com and Calcanis

20.com was the big domain sold last week - for $75k. I wanted to see who the new owner was and what they were using it for, so I checked the whois to find that Jason Calcanis was the new proud papa of 20.com.

I didn’t realize he was a domainer and couldn’t figure out what he wants it for. Maybe it’ll be for the 20 “preditors” he’s poaching.

I haven’t seen anybody mention it - not that it’s a big deal or anything - but interesting nonetheless. I’m going to be poking around their setup and see if I can find any others to see what he’s up to.

I’m not doing movie reviews, but Who killed the electric car? was pretty interesting. However, what I liked even more was when you search for “ev1″ on Google or Yahoo an ad came up directing the searcher to the GM blog. I like to do my own research after I see something very one-sided and GM was “helping” me with that. They provide their rebuttal in - get this - english! no legalease or corporate-speak. And they make good points. So, staying away from economic, political, and entertainment categories and not mentioning any of the ideas the movie brought up, with respect to marketing, this provides a good (and surprising) example of a company that gets “it”.

Nice place to play
