There's nothing Crisis Lounge regulars like better than a new take on the financial meltdown...So called cybersquatters are registering domain names for many of the merging banks.
Lloydstsbhbos.com has been snapped up, and the domain bankofmerril.com is already attracting £1,000 on eBay.
Domain names are big money - at a recent auction huge sums were paid for the new .mobi extension. For example flowers.mobi sold for €200,000 while fun.mobi fetched €100,000.
But as far as making money out of domain names goes, the champion must be Chris Clark who sold the name pizza.com for over $2.6 million in April having bought it fourteen years ago for only $20.
