Old domain is suddenly relevant.

      There’s been a bit of buzz lately about the domain name HTML5.com, which was redirected to a page at Apple.com about HTML5. A quick look at the whois shows that Apple did not buy the domain name, but it recently came out of privacy with a new owner’s name.

      Is HTML5.com worth a lot of money? It’s certainly not chump change. That’s why an archive of the site from 1999 (thanks Reddit) is entertaining:

      OK, so I might have just spent good money on a name that’ll mean nothing, ‘cos XML might take over, but it’s worth the gamble

      This is a perfect example of buying ahead of the curve. Every day new terms enter the fringe lexicon and some of them later go mainstream. For example, the term “blog” wasn’t around during the original 1990s domain name landrush. There are plenty other examples of recently invented terms that may well be worth a lot as a domain name 10 years from now.

      (I can’t figure out the original source that spotted that HTML5.com was now redirecting to Apple. If you know, let me know so I can link to it.)
