Well, I think it is kind of domain hack by creating subdomain and changing URL pathname but anyway this can increase the value of subdomain name with utility and throughout web syndication if properly used, while on other hand it will make insignificant the original domain name. People were reluctant to use this earlier, however I think it can minimize the risk if you follow the idea like del, the clever idea I learnt from them that they had parked that page and later start marketing after getting tremendous popularity.
