In the early days, Rick Schwartz‘s moniker was the Webfather. An obvious play on the Godfather character, due to his attitude and strength of character, Rick adopted the Webfather nickname all while he was already the Domain King.
A strange, yet exciting finding: More than a decade ago, Rick Schwartz was photographed as the Webfather, holding up a nameplate with that title! 😀
That photo is part of stock photography available through the web site Alamy.com. We are sharing the preview below, and one can purchase the image from Alamy.com right here. 😀

As a side note, the domain Webfather.com is owned by the Domain King, pointing to his blog. That domain was registered in 2002, a full five years after DomainKing.com.
Which domain name is more catchy? 😀
