Daryn Kagan, the CNN anchor whose contract Jon Klein opted not to renew in 2006, has found success as an inspirational video blogger. But the host of DarynKagan.com, who released her first book, What's Possible, this week (news peg!), encountered one of the many roadblocks boldface names do when they try to build a web identity: Somebody already owned her.

There were certain serendipities along the way to launch. When she went to register the domain name DarynKagan.com she found it had already been claimed by a cybersquatter, a person who registers names for Web sites in the hope that someone will eventually pay big money to acquire the rights. Kagan called the Florida man who had bought it, and after they talked he volunteered to give it to her. For free. [AP]
