I have this horrible habit of grabbing domains for every idea I think of for longer than two minutes.

It adds up after a while.

Would you consider trading/selling kill5minutes.com?

What did you have in mind for serendipityrow.com? Good band name, after Led Zeppelin.

It was going to be an offshoot of my main product (Serendeputy, a personalized news application currently in private beta).

Serendepity Row was going to be an extract of interesting, erudite articles that surfaced from the aggregate usage of the site. I'd put out two or three posts a day highlighting really interesting pieces. I was going to model it somewhat on Arts & Letters Daily -- http://www.aldaily.com/

Kill5Minutes was going to be the same idea, but for more low-brow stuff.

Spotplex when it was around tracked and displayed articles by popularity. Blogs and sites had a SP javascript code that sent back page views.
