Names names names

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

I am currently busy with a very interesting new web project. It will probably attract more attention than lolstupids. But before I can start I have to think of a name.

I love thinking up names. I really do. I love keeping it short, yet having some sort of pun in it somewhere. If I can’t do that, then at least something that sounds good on the tongue, like Roach Toaster.

The problem with thinking up web-related names is that there is only so many available URLs, which pretty much defeats the purpose of trying to be clever, since some random cyber-squatter managed to reap the name out from under your feet. :(

Domains go boom.

With the recent news that domain names would unbuckle, is it a good thing? In short it would create loads of more extensions to the usual current top-level domains (+-250).

To be honest I’m not really that phased about it. I’m not sure, but could this mean that .com’s and the rest of the top-level domains would become cheaper?

To me, a domain never really meant anything. I kinda trusted .com’s a bit more. It has a sense of professionalism about it. But any other domain hasn’t stopped me from visiting a site if it had something I wanted to check. I don’t see anything obviously wrong with it. Hopefully it will lead to more interesting website urls like deli.co.us.

What do you think? I say yay for creativity!
