Read it! October 2nd, 2007
Progress continues nicely on my feed aggregator. Also, of great note is that I landed the domain name I wanted for it (feedish.com). It currently is just hosting a kind of proof of concept as I flesh out functionality and look into getting a designer on board. I'll write more about that, but I wanted to say something about getting the domain name, since the whole process went amazingly smoothly.
I had found to my dismay that feedish.com was already registered to someone else and had been for quite some time. I also noticed, however, that it had simply been a parked domain for quite some time. I approached the owner and asked them about the possibility of acquiring the name. After ensuring that my service wouldn't conflict with their own, similarly named service, they simply allowed me to have the name.
The kind souls that let me have my new favorite url are the guys behind feed.us. It is a centralized CMS system that lets you setup content in one location and then pull content to any number of other hosts. I have been a bit too swamped to do much with it, but it seems like it would be really useful for maintaining multiple remote sites. Anyway, thanks again guys, it is much appreciated.
