What The Heck Is a Norbum? Jakob Lodwick and David Karp Know.
When Jakob Lodwick left was fired from Vimeo earlier this month, I immediately predicted that Lodwick would be working with Tumblr founder David Karp. It seems this might be closer to reality with some investigative journalism just completed by regular CN visitor and author, James Thomas.
This past Saturday, Lodwick posted about some new domains that he registered. The list includes:
- D***S***.COM
- BA******RO****.COM
- n*****.com & .us
- n*****s.com & .us
- n*****ist.com & .org
- n*****ists.com& .org
- n*****ism.com & .org
The previous day Lodwick posted that he had dinner with Karp per his blog post and calls Karp a, "soon famous face."
This is where Thomas went to work. After some Columbo-type maneuvers, we know the full names of some of the domains that Lodwick registered:
- norbum.com
- norbum.us
- norbums.com
- norbumist.com
- norbumist.org
- norbumists.com
- norbumists.org
- norbumism.com
- norbumism.org
Anyone know what a Norbum is? Let’s complete the picture before the new year rings!
