News Beltline cyber-property going fast ...
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, Sep 17, 2007 at 10:18 PM
While news reports this week show how Atlanta developers and speculators are becoming extremely interested in properties around the Beltline — even while the tax allocation district funding remains in limbo until John Woodham and the city go at it in the state Supreme Court on Sept. 25 — the same can also be said for online domain names.
Visits to atlantabeltline.org, atlantabeltline.net and atlbeltline.com, atlantabeltlinepartnership.com all were redirected to metro Atlanta real estate agents Alan Andrew and Jonathan Keller. While not illegal, CL contacted Andrew, proprietor of the first two variations, to ask why he snatched up the name. Short answer: He registered it "awhile ago" and did so because "[they're] looking at a number of different projects for the Web site."
Enlightening! As long as this doesn't turn into Second Life we'll all be OK.
For the actual Web sites operated by Beltline planners, visit here, here, or here. Just one more: here.
