Domains get snagged up in 'text-answer service wars'

Last month we blogged about two available (at the time) domains, 542242.com and 242542.com, both hybrids and mistypes of the dotcom wordnumbers for both ChaCha and kgbkgb. On February 18, they both got snagged up by the same person; the time stamps for both domain registrations are identical.

So by whom? They're hiding behind an anonymous whois (Moniker Privacy) and the owner's apparently not going to tell us anything at all: the domains don't resolve anywhere, not to kgbkgb nor ChaCha, and not even a parking page. So, who do you think bought them? Could it be a domainer? But would an observant domain investor buy these domains and not park them? Unlikely. So what do you think: is it Kgb or ChaCha?

What's the carbon footprint of the kgbkgb tour?

What's the carbon footprint of kgb's Burning [feeling when you find out you just spent $0.50 on a text that could have been free had you used ChaCha] Questions Tour? Surely there's a huge poof of Co2 tonnage that'll result from driving a 'squard' of Smart Cars through a dozen cities from Dallas to Boston. Instead of issuing a press release on the eve of every single holiday and big sports event to give us yet another reason to use kgb_text for $0.50 more than ChaCha would charge, kgb should announce they're going carbon neutral. How about it?

Update1: the commenter is right - kgbkgb can cost up to $0.99. That's what kgb_text costs an ALLTEL customer!
