Finding THE Domain Name

June 11th, 2009 2 comments

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…

Direction

May 23rd, 2009 No comments

I still have no idea what direction to take with this site…. As a person, I have a lot of different interests so this blog will show case all of them. That means Marketing, Business, Stocks, Boats, Beaches, Cars, Politics, Psychology, and anything else that gets my interest.

But feel free to request something… Because my primary goal is to make this a site you love and visit every day. To do that I need to make it helpful, fun, etc.

At this point, I just launched the site and there is still a lot of work to be done.

So I guess you could say this is: RiskyShift Beta

In the future the main domain will be a sort of frontpage type deal, with links to this blog and all my other sites.

More coming…
