Dr Pete had this great idea on twitter this morning.
And I thought to myself wow that has to be one of the best ideas ever in life, it is a must. So I head to google to check out what's involved in registering a .ma TLDcc. So after a few seconds I find out that .ma's are for Morroco, and to register them you need to head to www.internic.ma. So I fire up my browser and head on over to check it zi.ma is available, and LIB it was, so I start the registration process & I am starting to get really excited. I am sure Andy Beal & GoVisitHawaii had never expected the Zima meme to reach such heights. I am all the way through the check out process when I am greeted with.
Ouch! 169 Euros, based on today's exchange rate that's 236.9718 U.S. dollars. Pretty hefty for two years of registration. So I tweet to Dr Pete (hey I am a poet and didn't even know it) that I will probably have to forego that for now, cause I don't have an extra 237 laying around for domain names right at the moment. Then Good ole David Mihm comes to the rescue.
And I thought damn, what brilliant people I am following! So I thought why not see if anyone would want to get in on the Zi.ma Zima Meme train. According to the email that Internic.ma sent me I have 10 days to complete my registration before they cancel it. So just 23 dollars a day, I guess 24 to be safe :) So with out further ado here is the paypal donate link.
UPDATE:
Mission Accomplished!!! Zi.ma has now been purchased. many thanks to @andybeal @chiropractic @davidmihm @johnsantangelo @joshuasci @loribourne & let us not forget @MikeTek
Everyone will be getting link love from zi.ma once it goes live!
