HeadsUp: Emerging Tech Domains

[dgridley]

Just thought I'd start a thread on snagging emerging tech domains and where to look for them..

Here's an article on Vonage and their plans for a WIFI-enabled phone:

wifiphone.ws is still available, btw. Other ext already taken.

I like to scan Slashdot (for example) for emerging tech ideas.. anyone else have any other favorites, comments, or contributions?

Emerging Cellphone Tech

Great article on emerging cellphone tech...

Here's an excerpt:

"Payment services: Cell phones will double as credit cards and be like "an electronic wallet," Akyuz said.

Instead of plunking down cash for a purchase, or swiping a credit card, a shopper would hold the cell phone up to a terminal that has an electronic sensor. The cell-phone user would put in a personal ID number, and the user's credit card would be instantly charged for the purchase.

"Using a cell phone to pay for purchases is a very growing market, especially in Japan and several Scandinavian countries," Akyuz said."

I like the "metaphone" concept for potential domains.. anyone else have ideas?

Back to tech stuff.

I think Broadband Over Powerline is the next big thing (just google it) despite the fact that this technology is doomed.

So I got these awhile ago:

www.OverPowerline.com

and

www.BroadbandOverPowerline.us

They're actually getting some hits. What do you think?
