Well that appears to have happened already. But "summize" does pull up the Twitter Search page in the major search engines and summize.com appears to be devoid of pagerank now - perhaps Twitters aim.

wow - just wow. Why would you let something like that go after paying big money for it?

well, a few bucks per year for an established domain in the own portfolio is obviously too expensive :P
seems characteristic for a hyped dotcom-startup stuffed full of stupid investor money and no business clue.

The problem ultimately seems to be cybersquatting though the same kind of people who forget to renew their domain for $10~$30 a year are probably also likely to sue a search engine instead of using robots.txt.

Does anyone remember the good old days back in 1999 when MS forgot to renew passport.com, which made HotMail stop working, and some good Samaritan renewed it for them?

Obviously someone messed up and forgot to renew the domain name. Ouch!

Looks like people have been too busy counting the VC money. Everything else can care of itself. No worries.

right. you forget to pay for your domain, registrar warns you, they let you know a few times before the inevitable happens, they beg you to renew it. and you don't. and the guy that takes it when it falls is a sleazeball?
what do you think business is, a charity?
they need it, want it and they take it. you let it go. I am not going to ask you too are you aware of it and are you sure you want to let it go and can I take it.
if you let it hang in the space for months before it gets deleted for real then it is most likely of NO value to you nor of no value to anyone else.
