Why is it that I can dial the 8-digit number to call my mom yet can’t recall the 4-digit zip code of my home address? Because I call my mom frequently. Why is it that I can remember 1688.com but struggle for other similar names? Because 1688 has meaning (making a fortune all the way). […]

I don’t know exactly how much May Cheung (张红梅) paid for 98EP.com, but I’m sure she hand registered the domain name in 2013 because Wayback Machine shows no other person before her.
