01b.com Domain Name on Ebay : Creative Commons Fundraising

The domain name 01b.com is for sale and available on an ebay auction as an effort to support the Creative Commons Fundraising.

“01b.com was one of the first rss aggregators and was abandoned in april 2006 to become popurls.com. (an old screenshot is attached) 90% of the revenue from the auction of this little piece of web history will be donated to the creative commons (CC) project for their annual fundraising campaign, helping to enable the sharing of cultural, educational and scientific works. the domain still has a PR5 and i would prefer a new owner who will use it for serious purposes.”

The internet archive has past snapshots of how it looked like. Creative Commons is well known for its licenses that provide a flexible range of protections and freedoms based on a voluntary “some rights reserved” approach. The Creative Commons fundraising campaign 2006 is on and you can support it too. The domain name auction right now is $51 with 3 days to close. Interested?
