Catch & Release: A Brand new service at Pool.com
Dear Lee Owen,

Pool.com is thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new service called Catch & Release. Pool.com is offering you the opportunity to get ahead of the game by evaluating the traffic and value of domains before registering them for a full year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the things you need to know to get started with Catch & Release:

What is Catch & Release?

Catch & Release is a unique service offered by Pool.com that allows you to assess the value of available domain names before making a final purchase decision.

Why should I use Catch & Release?

Catch and Release allows you to be ahead of the game by evaluating domains for as low as 10 cents per domain before making a final purchase decision and registering a domain for a full year. With Catch & Release you can choose the parking service of your choice to measure the traffic and value during a 4.5 day period.

Who can use Catch & Release?

Everyone who has an active Pool.com account can use Catch & Release!

How can I start using Catch & Release?

To start using Catch & Release you must add a minimum of US $250 credit to your Pool.com account. Click here to submit a credit request now. After you submit your request a Pool.com representative will be in contact with you to arrange the transfer of funds.

When can I start using Catch & Release?

As soon as you have added the minimum required credit to your Pool.com account, you can start adding domains to your C&R Queue and begin evaluating domains!
 
So along with the scum domainers who park at those hijack parking sites, we've got the above service now as well.
 
At least it's open to anyone. So in fact they're doing us all a "service" since catch-and-release has up to now mainly been the preserve of the biggest players with their own registrars.

Now anyone can test thousands of domains for a tiny fee, and save a lot on wasteful registrations.

So long as the practice continues to be permitted by ICANN, this kind of "democratization" is IMO to be at least cautiously applauded.

Fair enough, after all, what's democracy without the ability to buy a seat in the house of lords.
