In the beginning, I was looking to acquire my last name Titcomb as my domain name, only to find out it was already taken. So one morning in the shower (behave), I had the vision that it would be cool and unique if my email were a humorous tongue & cheek simplification of my name, hence I was to become... JAMIE AT TIT DOT COM
I called my ISP at the time (Yes, they laughed at me too), to amazingly find out that the domain name TIT.COM was available. This was 'way' back in 1995, when you could still get most dictionary words of two, three and four letter domain names for the taking, which subsequently proved to be very valuable for a great many people.
Hence "Dot Com Millionaires" were created in the day, I just wasn't one of them... At the height of the Dot-Com craze around 1999-2000, leading domain appraisers projected the value of my domain name at a million-and-a-half plus dollar$$$... lucky me! I've yet to ever get a serious offer anywhere near that. But, plenty of folks must think I'm running a yard sale on the name as they contact me regularly with ridiculous offers.
So began my "world famous" site TIT.COM. I say 'world famous' because among other things, the name was stolen from me a few times in the early years. Internet piracy was all the rage in the 'wild west' early days of new domains and protocols. Some thought: why buy a domain from the owner, when you could just steal it? I suspect many of these people are in jail today, or should be... They are probably the same people that send out billions of unsolicited, unwanted SPAM emails to help us increase our penis size, lose weight while eating pizza or fueling the subprime mortgage collapse...
Unscrupulous characters and their unknowingly accomplice ISPs attempted to turn my domain name into a full blown adult content website on several occasions. Unfortunately for me, I was an elected public official at that time, which generated a lot of press attention. Of course those actions and the resulting substitutions of content, made for pretty spicy news coverage on page 1A of the major daily newspaper, and consequently was picked up worldwide by the Associated Press. To this day I can still Google my name and see articles in languages I don't even read, but contain words like "idiota" related to the whole situation.
Well the other interesting factor here is that my site has generated approximately 12,000 visits each month from the inception based on its name alone! Immaterial of the content, it has been like a steady Taxi meter running on a never ending trip. Who is coming here? What could they be looking for?
My guess is that my site visitors must be the entire male population from 7 to 70 (and a few creative ladies), looking for something that I don't provide in the content here... go figure. Sorry guys, but please see the humor in it all. Enough of the scores of emails I get and process regularly, accusing me of wasting valuable band width and worse. Hopefully, ads throughout the site and links we provide, will take you where you want to go. If they don't, feel free to contact me and I can tell you where to go ;^) If you are one of the thousands who's typed "TIT" into your browser, I'm sure you got a lot of other search leads to follow up on as well.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
