One year ago today…

August 17, 2009 7:41 pm

Let’s look back to exactly a year ago today, shall we?

I got some hovers. I don’t really fully understand the service, but anything that’s new where I can get a nice, short URL is good.

Here are my hovers:

Burns
Canada
Finance
Friends
Greg
Lover
Mayim Bialik
Mixing
Mother
Music
News
New York
Sports
Toronto
Video

Check out what happens next:

(8/13/2009 11:28:06 PM) BigFatJerkFace: need it for a project

I won’t get into today’s chat with BigFatJerkFace (his real name) but suffice it to say, I’m enraged!

Almost enough to not love the guy so much. Oh, who am I kidding, you’re still tops, man.

Edit: Lest you get the wrong impression, gentle readers (Hi Kate and Erin!) I registered those Hovers while I worked at the old company, and didn’t have any claim to them anyway. Except mayimbialik.hover.com – that one is mine!

(10:34:02 PM) Greg: I wasn’t going to do anything with it anyway, but you’d better not touch mayimbialik.hover.com
(10:34:08 PM) BigFatJerkFace: nooooo
(10:34:12 PM) BigFatJerkFace: that was my next projecttttt

I’m confused! Are they just domain names, only short and at/through Hover? But I suppose as long as you have the ones you want . . . (minus news . . . =P)

You know what’s daft? I can’t see how to read the entire comment you posted easily when I’m replying through the admin panel.

Hover’s a service where you essentially get a page of the name you want, then you put some links on that page. They’re all in the form of name.hover.com.

And that’s that, that’s what the service is. So, you’re not confused, you get it, but you’re just confused because there’s nothing more to get.

Care to comment?
