(AOL + free domains) * OpenID == Crazy Good
August 10, 2006
Yesterday AOL announced that it is going to be offering free domain name registration for the entire Internet. The service will be called “My eAddress” and will allow users to create .com or .net domains as well as to have email associated with them.
Now this is pretty cool. Imagine if you hooked in some free OpenID mojo to this. You could have your own custom domain that would be automagically OpenID enabled. This could be huge for AOL if they decide to look seriously at OpenID … the time is now!! 
Very exciting news but probably not so good if you’re a registrar.

“Very exciting news but probably not so good if you’re a registrar”:
Unless you’re the registrar appointed by AOL to do this

Except I’ve heard that AOL will own the rights to your domain, and you won’t be able to take it with you or transfer it out. YOu basically won’t own your own domain. Anyone else heard this?
