  • Yahoo just announced that it is auctioning off over a hundred “premium” domain names.

    “When you’re a company that’s been around as long as Yahoo, there are lots of fun things that you stumble across,” says Kevin Kramer, Deputy General Counsel for Yahoo. “This year, we found a huge list of domain names that the company has owned for quite some time.”

    “As we discussed what to do with them, it became obvious that it was time to set them free…back into the wild of the Internet. Surely, creative people, businesses and entrepreneurs could come up with something great to do with them. They could even spark some brand new ideas or companies.”

    Here are 29 domains Yahoo is currently listing on Sedo:

    ChillerTheater.com
    WebServer.com
    TheBroadcastNetwork.com
    FinalCountdown.com
    Vivas.com
    Sandwich.com
    Transmissions.com
    Crackers.com
    Cursed.com
    CyberJokes.com
    GlobalWhoIs.com
    Westerns.com
    Laun.com
    Batoota.com
    Sled.com
    JumpCut.com
    DotBank.com
    iRecruiter.com
    PoliceScanner.com
    WebCal.com
    Fonzo.com
    Religious.net
    Jockeys.com
    MYM.com
    Raging.com
    BlogSport.com
    AirTrafficControl.com
    TrueStory.com
    AV.com

    Presumably, we’ll see the rest in time. Prices for these range from $1,000 to $1.5 million.

    Now, feel free to speculate about why Yahoo owns AirTrafficControl.com.
