Silver fish hand catch: the domain's gone already 1

Posted on July 15, 2010 by Malcolm Coles

Having enjoyed the genius that is the Old Spice social media / YouTube campaign, I idly wondered how quickly someone would grab the silverfishhandcatch.com domain - apparently very quickly.

The link to the video below was tweeted by @oldspice at about 8am UK time. Silverfishhandcatch.com was registered at 7.30am - so about 2.30pm UK time, or a mere 6.5 hours later.

And here's what on earth I'm on about - read this, which is an explanation, and then this, which analyses its popularity.

    Nice catch - I picked up OldSpiceMan.com a couple of weeks ago and hoping to go live with what I think it should be very soon.

    Opportunists are the foundation of the internet :D
