Been some talk about a community board so I just spent a couple hours doing this -- www.ZuneBuzz.com to see what happens.

According to the Hyper Dictionary buzz is:
[n] a confusion of activity and gossip; "the buzz of excitement was so great that a formal denial was issued"

so it can fit current activity/rumor mill.

If there is interest I'll fix it up with nicer theme(s) boards etc etc.

Open to suggestions.

thought I'd register here after searching on my latest domain name and saw it being mentioned here. I was the lucky *&~@% who got zunezone.com - sorry to those of you who missed it by moments.

Great thread, as many of my thoughts have been covered here, except I managed to limit myself to ONE Zune domain name only :-) Currently just keeping tabs on the Zune news, but who knows where it will go over the next few months.

Hope they don't change the name now!

I arrived late on this scene, so most of the domain fruit had already been picked.

But I still managed to find 2 that I liked enough to register...

ZuneCafe.com

Zunezilla.com - Grrilla or Hark will probably buy this from me, if nobody else.

I just purchased Zune.us - $200

With help from my relative's contact with the original registrant.

The original owner is happy and made a nice quick profit for a fresh hand registration, and I'm happy with a reasonably modest investment. I figured it was worth a shot. If the product name does stick, it could be a nice result. If it doesn't, well, at least the "ouch" will not be too bad.

But one thing for sure, you can't win if you don't play.

We need to write back and see if they are a NP'er. And if not, tell them to join.

My participation here is just 2 names see my sig + ZuneMart-com which I think/hope should work. IMHO there are some long shot names still sitting there like ZuneTv, ZuneRadio, ZuneFeeds...

Looking at a couple more brandable type/oddball

zunezilla.com, nice name...not means I want to buy, but I always like zilla names...zilla is very nice to meet the name, as zilla very suitable for high tech products(software/hardware) or service.

if I can earn enough money($300K is the target) from domainning and mini sites, I will open a digital shop in local mall, and use my digizilla.com as the name, selling zune/ipod/wii...etc what a wonderful dream!

As often repeated. It is a gamble. Not much different than playing penny stocks etc.

It is very true that 'you can't win if you don't play'. Recall all the posts here where people say 'if only I had reg'd <insert domain catagory here>'.

I personally think Zune is a nice takeoff on Tune -- much more interesting than the boooooring vista thing.

I only regged 1 name. ZuneIM.com. I do not know if zune will ever have instant messaging capabilities but I thought what the heck I will give it a shot.
besides if you say it as a word zuneim it kinda sounds cool.

If you do not mind a hypen in your name. Or if you missed out on a Zune name you wanted, I would say this is a good name.

there is no TM for zune it was owned by a company befor but it is dead, and i dont think if MS registred the TM would take people s domain that they did register befor they register thier TM , it dont sound logic

Cooperation??


I see a few zune sites in early development by NPers and I have a suggestion.

During the blook 'rush' there were several of us who all exchanged links even though much of the content was very similar. While we are all out there to put some $$$ in our pockets the cooperation is to all our benefit. Several of the linked sites are now PR3/4 and getting bigG notice.

Total investment for my 2 Blook sites is $14.40 + a few hours of my time and one is PR4 and other is PR3 so things are looking nice heading into the next Blooker Prize cycle.

While the Zune will be extremely competitive and harder to crack every little bit would help. Zuneinfo and ZuneNation have a huge head start.
