@ Happy Camper – of course it’s to their advantage. What company does something not to their advantage? Their goal here is simple; drive more registrations at GoDaddy.

Everyting GoDaddy does is to their advantage. They will be mining the data, beware.

Ok, I’ll throw it out there because I’m curious what everybody thinks, the domain I had bought with the intention of inventing this exact service was GeoBid.com

Sorry, I didn’t know that DomainSuperstar had the same idea too. To my defense I think I bought this domain before DomainSuperstar launched the service.

I doubt this would be patentable…

Domain Superstar–it’s only too late to file for a patent (in the US; it is too late for anywhere else in the world) if you’ve had this “method/process” publicly available for more than 1 year from when you file for a patent.

Would be wise to run, not walk, to a good patent attorney in your city/area and discus it with him/her.

The odds are great that GoDaddy has filed a patent app on this. But, if you were first you may/will be able to block them from getting a patent.

But you need to hurry.

ps As I’m not an attorney, this is not legal advice.
