Fortunately, if you're sick of Governor Spitzer news, you can skip past this story, or you can learn of the rampant domain speculation that's already taking place right now in the aftermath of the breaking of the news.
Betsy Schiffman writes at Wired today on the topic, noting that just moments after the New York Times published the story of Spitzer and the 'high-class prostitution ring' where Spitzer was dubbed anonymously "Client 9," Nick Galbreath registered the client9.com domain for $10.13. Galbreath is a 37 year-old software engineer in Manhattan.
He's not the only one snapping up these domains, though. Domain squatters have been getting up all manner of scandal related domains according to Wired, including "client-9.net, client-9.com, and client69.com." Even room871.com (the room number where Spitzer allegedly met the prostitute) which while bought all the way back in October, recently went up on the auction block for $750.
I'm not sure that any of these would be a particularly wise investment, when it's all told. That these types of domain landrushes still exist rather baffle me. In this day and age, it's more about Google traffic, in my experience.
