I just happened to come across this interview and it was very fascinating. I never knew that this type of thing was going on. Coming from the Real Estate industry and seeing and experiencing the flurry to buy real estate in the early 2000′s helped me to relate to this. It seems there are always the pioneers and at some point the crowd sees that there is money to me made and at that point it is too late. Great interview!

GK…a quiet pioneer in the industry. Top of the heap when it comes to morals and ethics. And a very good friend.

Great interview, I love hearing from those that were domaining in the mid to late 90′s.

One of my domaining regrets is I didn’t find a board like Rick’s in the 90′s, or even early 00′s. I bought my first domains in 2000, but bought a lot of crap and didn’t know what quality names were. I’m sure there were still a lot of good hand regs in 2000 and 2001.

I also don’t hand reg as much as I used to, but still check on a domain’s availability if something pops into my head. Good ‘apps’ and ‘cloud’ domains were probably still available a few years ago, what will tomorrow’s hot tech words be?

Just for those who aren’t aware, I’m *not* the GK in the article above (it’s been a source of confusion in the past).

I love GK. He’s the man.
Here’s an article about digital darwinism, somewhat similar to the theme he’s discussing above : http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/on-innovations/digital-darwinism-and-why-brands-die/2011/11/20/gIQAR2jqlN_story.html
