Bebo Drop Bebo.ie

August 8, 2009 by Michele Neylon

Trademark holders do funny things with domains.

Bebo.ie, which was registered in bad faith, was handed back to its rightful owners last year.

However Bebo Inc obviously don’t care enough about the .ie domain to hold onto it, so it’s been dropped.

So will anyone try to grab it again?

It will be interesting to see if someone else makes a play for it. With the number of active Irish users on Bebo the domain would probably generate quite a bit of type in traffic.
