Lance points at DiscountDomains, who list all of the .co.nz domains which are about to expire and allow you to bid on them.
Prices start from $59.95 + GST.
Among those expiring in the last 48 hours I found this one:
smellybanana.co.nz (I won’t bother with a link, it doesn’t work).
I’d love to know what the owner of that domain had in mind when they got it.

This is my new favourite Hugh McLeod cartoon:
It currently has pride of place above my desk at Xero.
On the other hand …
This from Jimmy Gutterman:
“There are only two industries that refer to their customers as users: high tech and illegal drugs.”
Surely we can come up with a better name than “user”?
How is the 100% Pure NZ site promoting NZ businesses?
Look at the two links:
Travel: Funky font. Exciting colour. Wicked.
Business: Grey! Times New Roman! Yawn. :-(
It looks to me like this splash page, where visitors are forced to choose between travel and business, is a recent addition.
I wonder what the bulk of the visitors to this site are after?
My guess would be travel. So, why not get rid of this choice altogether? Just default to the much nicer travel site landing page and have an obvious link in the navigation to segue those people who are interested into the business section.
