Domain names have been at the forefront of the digital experience for 20 years. They provide the real estate for businesses to build their online presence and provide doorways for their customers to find them.

Sometimes, it is a good thing ) I bought goalways.com because I liked both meanings "go always", "goal ways".

Sometimes it doesn't matter. I have Manslaughter.com with 40K exact searches in US alone and the fact that a really creative person can read it as Man's Laughter doesn't change it )

Domain name should be clear and simple.It is the pathway towards the customers.

I think that domainers become less respectful of the site visitors and the organic track of natural site activity.
The cynical thinking that pervades domain speculation is reflected by lack of development enthusiasm. These days any domain that isn't alpha numeric gibberish can become a brand with a function behind it.
I wish more domainers developed their names and got the feedback about what direction to take the name.
Otherwise it's just like futures trading.
