Domain giveaway marathon - 25 gTLDs at the top of every hour!

[tags]promotion, contest, giveaway[/tags]
Mydomain.com is having a domain name giveaway. 25 domain names (.com, .net, .org) will be given away at the top of every hour, on Tuesday, May 13, at 12pm-7pm EDT.

Mydomain is providing a number of domain services for free, even for domains registered elsewhere. If you like free services, you might find it is worth your while to register a free account with them. We have used their services in the past; however, for a period of about 1-2 years, their service was infected with a malware, serving it with every DNS call. The problem appears to be resolved in the meantime and was reported by Netcraft and Register. If you plan to try your chances, good luck!

After a while Telecrapper resorts to a subset of WAV files and plays them randomly until the caller hangs up. Watch it in action.

Not all telemarketers have a great time:
