Well, in kind of an impulse purchase this morning I bought i房产.com and e房产.net
Does anybody have any thoughts on using i/e[IDN].com?
Personally, I'm not really a big fan of it, but I figured I'd snag a couple.

· #4 | | NamePros Member Name: Jerry Location: Atlanta Join Date: Aug 2006 | I think it is rather odd. Why mix English letters with non-Latin IDN?
Just because that might work for English, why assume that it works for Chinese? Right now, Chinese is so over-mined that many domainers are tacking on the character for 'network' (e.g. domainnameNetwork.com). There are other 'tack-ons' that can be used in Chinese, but I don't want to be seen as promoting such things here.
Tack-ons really reduce the value and makes the domain a 'brandable-only' IDN. Even that makes a whole lot more sense than an English letter. Don't you think? | |

| Sorry, but mixing the English with a Chinese IDN doesn't make sense IMO | |

| Some big Chinese site use English/Chinese combos, like Chinaren.com . Wouldn't go overboard regging these, but a few for a long term hold couldn't hurt . Haven't been to Asia in a few years, any big idn sites now ? | |

· #7 | | NamePros Member | Thanks for the thoughts guys.
I'm also kinda "meh" towards the whole mixing characters thing, but I guess having a couple in the portfolio's not too bad. | |

My opinion is :
Since Google, Baidu and CCTV us 'tv' and 'tv' is on hundreds of millions of
Chinese pages....
It is likely for a while that 'tv' to right of the dot or to the left of the dot might work for branding but not for direct navigation....
my 2 cents.
