Finding THE Domain Name
Here’s the deal… I have a great idea that I am going to push ahead of my others (way to focus right?). The idea is a website that will be free and hopefully help a lot of people. Not only that, but it will be fairly easy to create.
Sounds great right? Well it is if I can find a good domain name for it!
I’ve tried countless words and phrases that describe it, I’ve even tried latin words for it, but every dot com name is taken!
I guess that really says something for virtual real estate. In 10-20 years you will be buying Domain Names through brokers, not registrars. And all the big companies will get in on it.
Imagine: Google Domains, Microsoft Virtual Real Estate, etc.
But back to the main topic… I hate anything but dot com names, they don’t carry the same weight as dot com names and they appear cheap and/or scammy.
Would you rather buy from “T-Shirts.com” or “T-Shirts.vg”?
So, for me, it must be a dot com name. I would prefer it to be relevant as well, but then again relevent doesn’t seem to matter much when it comes to domain names.
For example:
Google.com: A large number known only by nerds who think binary is cool
Yahoo.com: What you say when you’re drunk and getting chased by a bull in Mexico
Amazon.com: A jungle in South America and a mythical tribe of warrior women
Twitter.com: A place where you can let everyone in the world know when you need to punish your toilet with the taco bell you ate for lunch.
So I guess I don’t need it to be relevant… I just need it to be six letters or less and be an actual word.
Hmmm… Despite that sad attempt at comedy, I think that writing this gave me some new ideas. I’ll let you know when I figure something out…

Not worth a whole new post but check out that cool new logo! Notice the hint of red in there?
Found a great name a few minutes ago… Spent hours looking at dictionary.com, thesaurus.com, latin translators, etc. But in the end I decided to shorten a word that fits the site perfectly. Sort of created a new slang word to describe the users of the new site.
Really excited about this site. If I can build the site and make it work and look like the site I see in my head, then it will be really cool and help a lot of people.
Not saying the name just yet since there is nothing there right now… Hopefully I can get a BETA version of the site up and running in the next week. You will be the first to know when it’s ready…
