Generics with e or i

[redhippo]

what would the
value of generics
with and e or i before them as compare to the Generic?.

eflowers.com=1 million
eproperties.com=?
eland.com=?

more common and lesser names.??:gn:

Not as much as during the internet heydey, but still worth something. The key here is using your judgment in determining whether the i or e make sense for the domain. In the above examples, eflowers is fine because it is automatically-associated with online ordering of flowers. eproperties also sounds good because it suggests investments in internet businesses. eland, on the other hand, seems vague in purpose. One has to think hard to 'justify' its use.

Names that don't make sense using this criterion are epaper, iaircon, and evegetables. Names that do make sense are eprinter, isafe, and epager. See what I mean?

If the 'e' or 'i' fit the name, then it could be worth alot.

Like eMusic.com sounds cool to me. But iKeyboard just sounds like crap imo

i agree it depends on the way it sounds and if it makes sense. another factor is if it is a very common and sought after word.

armstrong is on the nose with this one!

Also, I would put 'e' ahead of 'i' in terms of value; perhaps this due to a few already hugely popular e***.com names -eBay, -eTrade, eLoan . . .

A few names using 'i' that I would love to get ahold of are those that fit naturally with the letter. Names like 'iLove', 'iPhone', 'ido', etc . . .

YES the "e" value, taking notes carefully.
