Hey guys... i hope i can be honest with you and not worry about offending either of you, because i'm trying to not come off like one of the flamers that used to flame me back in the day... i know what it's like to be on both sides now and if i can help, rather than upset you guys, then maybe i can help save you both from spending a lot of 'dead end' money.
I know it's exciting to find a new tech that you believe in and all the cool ways it may be used... but one thing that you should try and always remember is that just because something is a word, or a 'thing' or even a purpose - that does not mean that it equates to domain names.
Step back and THINK what some of these names are for... i understand they are domain names - but what is a domain name? It's basically an address to a website.. in a lot of cases, the domain name explains what that website is (not always).. with that said, what are some / most of these domain names going to have at their address? I'm not picking on anybody's names, but i will pick a few randomly and ask, "realistically" what these names are for - who is your target end users, or have you even considered end-users?.. names like holohornet, holomailer, holopaper (AND paperS?? - isn't this is also somewhat of an oxymoron?), holosignal, holoyork (is this supposed to be a take on new york?), holosocializing(?!), moviesholo, holoebony ....etc..
Look, this isn't like it was even a year ago with $0.99 godaddy coupons flying around all over the place when you were able to satisfy your fix for less than a buck - these names are over $8 EACH now and i hate to say it, but there is no way 98% of these names go anywhere.
Another way to look at your names right now is like this... if all your names were set to expire TODAY and you only had $100 to spend on renewals, which names would you keep?
You might not be able to see it yet, and like i said, this is not me picking on anybody or looking for an argument. I believe many here would agree. I took many lumps myself, so i am just trying to help. I hope at least a part of what i said seeps in.
My last piece of advice would be to keep a spreadsheet of available names. When you have an urge to register a name, write it down on the list. You will probably keep looking for more and adding to that list but it helps. If you still feel like you NEED to have that name a day or two or seven later, then it's hard to argue with that, but hopefully it slows you down from making bigger mistakes.
Also, names like HoloAtlantic and HoloPacific are better brands as PacificHolo (which is available) and AtlanticHolo (also available)
Anyway, that's my two cents. I hope i was able to help.
Best of luck.
