Technorati Developer Contest Winners

The winners of the Technorati Developer Contest have been announced. (Among them Aaron Swartz of the Google Weblog.)

Two-Letter Domains

Out of curiosity I compiled an overview of all two-letter domain names, starting from www.aa.com down to www.zz.com.

Some of the domains, like hy.com or wu.com, are for sale. I wonder, what’s a realistic price for those?

In Germany (country code “de”), two letter domain names aren’t allowed anymore. However in the very early days you could still register them. Now in Germany there are and will be only three second-level domains with two letters:

  1. www.db.de (the German railway, “Deutsche Bahn”).
  2. www.ix.de (IX, a news magazine company publishing Germany’s Slashdot, Heise.de).
  3. www.hq.de (HQ, “Technology Based Solutions for Human Resources”).
