“My name is Walt F.J. Goodridge. If you’ve ended up on this site, it’s probably because you wanted to check if anyone owned the NICHEMARKET.COM domain name, and if so, what, in fact they are doing with it! You might even have a business idea that you think might go perfectly with this domain. Well, unfortunately, it’s not for sale. I purchased this domain name from NetworkSolutions back in 1997 (when domains where $70/year!) with my own grand ideas, too! Like you, I realized that the power of and economic potential oftt

As you can see, I was relatively late to the game--a full two years after ebay registered--but, here's the encouragement: Google registered later than I did, Twitter registered in 200, and Youtube just registered in 2005!
