Why HN links it

HN readers link Morgan Linton's posts on startup domain names: a failed eshares.com acquisition, the .OOO TLD, subdomain hacks, and a startup domain FAQ. The comments only cite or link them, with no judgement of the writing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Morgan Linton — Cofounder and CTO at Bold Metrics. Builder, investor, and runner of experiments on the future.
