@djkabzx Just thought this was a cool story about the early days of the internet. 😀

[Snagged.com @snagged]

WorldStarHipHop showed up at a strange moment on the internet.

YouTube had just launched, nobody really understood what online video was supposed to become yet, and most of the internet still felt separated from real life. Videos lived online, then stayed online.

WorldStar changed that a little.

At first, the site mostly focused on mixtapes, music videos, and freestyle clips circulating through hip hop forums and blogs. But, eventually, another type of video started pulling more attention than anything else on the site: fights in parking lots, arguments outside clubs, public confrontations filmed vertically from ten feet away while someone yelled in the background.

The videos felt raw because nobody was trying to make them feel like polished or edited into narratives. Somebody filmed something chaotic, uploaded it to WorldStar, and millions of people watched it.

Then people started realizing they were being filmed, and that’s the part that changed things.

Arguments got louder once phones came out, and people started performing for the possibility of an audience seeing (or discovering them) on the internet.

Eventually, “worldStar” stopped being the name of a website and became something people shouted in real life the second a situation started turning chaotic.

The platform changed the way that people thought about creating content, and encouraged them to film things solely with the intent of making them go viral.

We're finally shedding the .so (thank you Somalia!), and using the .com for @NotionHQ. And for this beautiful moment, I want to share a fun story:

Back in 2018, I had just joined Notion, and one of the first things @ivan asked me to do was figure out how we could own https://t.co/BxoFvc83VG. I had never done a big domain purchase before, so I reached out to a few domain brokers to understand the landscape. We tried different brokers, kept things anonymous, and attempted to surface a price the seller might consider.

A year went by… nothing. Meanwhile, it was pretty clear this was only going to get more expensive as we grew. We needed a different approach. A fellow founder connected me to a broker who took a very different tack. Less transactional, more long-term relationship builder. He spent months getting to know the domain owner. Turns out owner was a fellow entrepreneur in the west coast… and a huge Grateful Dead fan.

So we figured, why not get creative? Something beyond just price. So I called up our investor Ronny Conway and asked if there was any way he could help set up a private meeting between the domain owner and the Grateful Dead. Ronny is one of those people who somehow makes impossible things possible. A week later he calls me back: “New York City. Halloween. 15 minutes after the concert. Done.”

The broker went back to the owner with an offer: some cash, some equity, and a private meeting with the Grateful Dead. That got his attention. He didn’t take the band meeting in the end, but he did lean into the equity (great call, in hindsight). We shook hands, and a few weeks later, the deal was done.

I’ve been waiting years for the day we move our product to https://t.co/BxoFvc83VG. Looks like 2026 is finally the year. Safe to say I’m unreasonably excited about this update!

We’ve been sitting with this for a bit as we’ve been working towards launch, but as of this morning, we’ve officially launched the Snagged Swag store.

Premium merch for internet degenerates.

What started as a custom run of super-soft Snagged t-shirts for friends and family somehow snowballed into hoodies, jackets, tees, bobbleheads, and a bunch of other stuff.

When @rob wrote about Bobbleheads*com, of course we had to make a Snagged bobblehead.

When his wife launched SockSockGoose*com, obviously Snagged needed a sock-inspired design.

When we sponsored Rob’s son’s 8U baseball team, it was inevitable we’d end up making shirts for that too.

Honestly, this whole thing has just been really fun.

People seem to appreciate that we put way too much time and energy into making products that are genuinely comfortable and cool.

Does a domain brokerage need a merch store?

Probably not.

But does Snagged?

Absolutely.

Appreciate everyone who’s followed along as Snagged has grown from a side project into a real business doing hundreds of domain transactions a year.

Anyway, it’s live now.

Check out the first drop and let us know what you think.

@JordiGasullCros Wow that’s amazing.

We’re working on a story about domain deals where barter has been involved

Even we’ve had a few of those….(like getting BOXES of cigars as payment for doing a deal)

Any good stories come to mind about domains you (or people you know) have sold for barter?

[Snagged.com @snagged]

@theaiwhitepaper Not currently -- but maybe the @GritBrokerage team would be interested?

[Snagged.com @snagged]

We've spent the last few months rethinking the domains that we represent.

Going forward, we're being more selective about the domains on the Snagged Marketplace, and we’re curating category-defining names that can actually get into the hands of great builders.

Our latest batch includes:
• https://t.co/nELN0hK8Ou
• https://t.co/Hk9MOIFVe1
• https://t.co/2i4AD5sB4O
• https://t.co/qbAeyXUYaS

• https://t.co/iXdiYOFv1k
• https://t.co/e5a6ZNnxZk
• https://t.co/bEFwXAQuSh

Plus favorites like https://t.co/WIUei5K5Kb, https://t.co/HV3HyJyCbh, https://t.co/810f7YhCjZ, https://t.co/65zUQgzDnT, https://t.co/pESrs4HdLn, and more.

This is the most excited we've been about a batch in a while, with some absolute bangers in this group.

Hit us up if one sparks an idea🪝

In 2004, a guy named Frank Warren started handing blank postcards to strangers on the street, in Washington, DC, and they had one sentence written on the front:

Tell me a secret.

People mailed the cards back anonymously with their deepest secrets that they normally wouldn’t tell anyone….things like regrets, resentments, and even affairs that they had throughout their life.

Some postcards just had simple messages, and others looked like works of art that people spent hours on, covering them in magazine clippings, paint, and photos.

At first, a handful of postcards arrived in the mail every few weeks, but as word spread about PostSecret, thousands of of cards started arriving and Warren had more cards than he knew what to do with.

Warren started scanning them and uploading them to a blog called https://t.co/YFOS3LQtVj, and it felt inherently different than other sites on the net. It was a simple image of the cards for everyone to see and share, and that’s it.

It kind of felt like a window into someone else’s life that you weren’t supposed to know or read, but had full access to.

By the mid-2000s, millions of people were checking the site every Sunday when Warren would upload new postcards. Eventually, Warren’s project became published as best selling books, and some of the work was showcased in galleries and museums for others to see and experience.

The site is still active today, and people continue to use @postsecret as an outlet to share things about their lives. What started as a side project, became one of the internet’s windows into people’s deepest secrets.
