I've been pretty skeptical about .SI, but this week I finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and see where the road takes me.
I enjoy experimenting, but what I enjoy even more is collecting and crunching the data that comes out of those experiments.
I've always approached things a bit like restaurant recommendations or travel reviews. You can have a hundred people telling you a place is amazing or terrible, but I'd still rather go there and find out for myself. And quite often, I end up surprised.
Ask a million people and you'll get a million different opinions. Opinions are a bit like domain names: everyone's got one, but some are definitely better than others.
That's why I prefer forming my own conclusions, preferably backed by some actual data.
So, in the name of science (and perhaps a little domainer FOMO), I've decided to liberate these 12 names from the registration pool and give .SI a proper shot:
- Rearview
- Onlooker
- Forebear
- Lozenge
- Figurate
- Outvote
- Prosaic
- Overheat
- Illusory
- Liveware
- Metagenomics
- Biostat
A bit of everything here. Some recognizable dictionary words, some brandable terms, and a couple of more specialized names.
I'm not claiming I've struck gold, nor am I expecting overnight miracles. I'm simply curious to see how these perform, what kind of interest they attract, and whether the actual market data eventually supports the current enthusiasm around .SI.
Worst case, I pay a relatively small tuition fee for another lesson in domaining. Best case, I learn something useful and maybe even make a few sales along the way.
Either way, I'll have some real numbers to work with rather than just opinions.
Anyone else experimenting with .SI this way? I'd be curious to hear what you're picking up and, more importantly, whether you're seeing any actual buyer interest.
Regards,
