It seems that the domain was purchased before the idea (http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8141/7217323514_0acc02941b_o.p...) so I'm not sure this is the case in this particular instance.

No, the idea was formed in October 2009 (or maybe a bit before). The following screenshot of Gtalk logs shows that she knew it was for that specific idea.

You could be right (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7228/7217382732_b147182406_b.j...) but I guess it didn't sound concrete in the first chat log. Anyhoo, will be interesting to see how this develops further!

the domains I am mostly proud of are: examinationunderoath.us [no plans], medicaresetaside.us [no plans], geektalk.info [minor project], binngle.com [search], onlinked.in [redirector], streamenizer.com [deadpooled streaming app for 4 video chats], thumbkissing.com [future apple app]

what about you?

I've bought a few domains (nothing special) for general ideas but I haven't had the time to polish off anything to do with them disappointed in self. Hopefully one day soon I can also Show HN, but for now, they can sit dormant while I appreciate others!
