Onlinenic Domain – Flikr.net Dropping Tomorrow

Onlinenic.com has had some past with copyright infringing domains. In the upcoming drop lists, the domain name: flikr.net has managed to be one of the drops that caught my eye.

I have been working on a new tool & monitoring the spikes of views on the drop lists. Sure enough – as far as I can tell, this domain will be dropping on Tuesday December 29 2009. It will be funny to see what happens.

Note, this is a typo of flickr.com – but people have issues spelling it.

Here’s a snapshot of the whois:

I remember the old geocities.com, but not sure I would spell it like that. Maybe something else was in their train of thought since the names are aged.

Unfortunate however, the domains will lose their age upon drop on Tuesday at 1pm CST & it will be a mystery who picks them up if anyone, or if they are returned – until it happens.
