Domain Hack Sightings

[siga]

There appear to be more domain hacks in use than I have noticed in previous years. As there is a value of domain hack thread, this thread could be useful to document hacks you have seen on day to day life.

There are obviously ones which are well know such as Youand.Me and del.icio.us.

If any one has a list please add it.

The ones which I have noticed in the last two days are.
Squa.re (advertised on a FT newsletter I got in my inbox today)
and an email at wemovesh.it (I wont name the full email incase it gets $pammed but it was on the back of a slurry tanker while I was on the motorway.)

So just to clarify, in your definition a domain hack needs to have a . in it?

But i see where you are coming from...

Hey Liquid,

I hope you are well - thanks for replying.

Yes, isn't that the conventional definition of a hack?.. the dot separates the two elements that are intended to make up a word.

Technically, a www.xx name may also be referred to as a hack but I think for the most part here we are talking about word hacks.

I love name hacks, by the way!

Regards,

I wouldn't be surprised if dealspl.us would happen to have some ad running somewhere, maybe TV.

There are a lot of developed domain hacks out there..

Some developed names I really like are:

i.am
fr.ee
gre.at
chi.mp
call.me
pana.ma
mexi.co

Here are 2 of mine that where development has started but they are still far from being called established projects:

lose.kg
banglade.sh
