I'm sitting on tons, but I've given plenty away over the years too, so I don't think of myself as malicious. Nearly all are from project ideas I had but then never followed up on.
I don't think I'd be willing to unconditionally give/swap away all of these, but I'd say for at least half I would (I've put stars next to those). For example, I consider the Rails Web hosting ones to have value - I just haven't bothered to do anything with them yet. Some of the others I am "squatting", in a sense, in order to prevent competitors infringing on my brand.
Sorry for the formatting.. too lazy to fix it, but actually realized it doesn't look too bad as a horizontal list anyways..
I've adopted a sort of honor-driven set of conditions with the people I've given them to - a "domain traders' code," if you will:
1) If you don't use the domain, I get first refusal to have it back.
2) If you do use the domain, and if I request, you'll give me a link on the site someplace. (More a speculative thing than anything..)
3) If you go on to sell the domain/site for big bucks, you'll remember me and get me something from my Amazon wishlist ;-)
It's all honor-bound and ridiculously hard to enforce, but I'm a big believer in honor, so who knows.. :)
Weird.. I thought I allowed all e-mail addresses through. Try [my first name] @ [my user name].co.uk instead ;-) As in peter@petercooper :) That should work for sure.
I bought it to set up a PopUrls/Alltop style site for space/astronomy related news. Actually, I might well end up doing that, especially since I could now throw Twitter feeds on to it too..
