If all (.) coms were free, what would you pick?

[maxt0r]

Imagine you are on year 1990, and you know that a big boom of domain marketing is coming in the next ten years, what would you register? And why?

Answer with only one domain.

I'd take poker.com.

 

[goodkarmaco]

Free!

I would nail down registerdomainsfree.com. Build a site with add on features like Godaddy and then when every person who wants a name comes to my site they would have to wade thru five thousand offers like Godaddy has and then I would be a fat cat.

If its free, figure out a way to make some money off it, lol

microsoft.com
yahoo.com
google.com
youtube.com
...
you get the idea

 

[leede]

lee.com for me only

 

[Ronald Regging]

I'd take phil.com It's not all about money.

Nice one. I'd probably take Herb.com. Its my name and has commercial value as well. I'd probably take a lot of other ones as well too

And for those people saying Google, Microsoft, YouTube, etc...

You're forgetting that without the hard work, vision and $$$ in promotion/branding, these domains would be worthless...

 

[shopperx]

It all depens if you believe in destiny or not.

I bet the ex-owner of iphone .com now believes on destiny...

 

[BTS]

shopping.com, gifts.com, auctions.com, amazon.com, ebay.com, hotmail.com, hotels.com

oh and my personal favorite,

imgoingtobeamillionaire.com

because i would be.......if only i knew now what i new then....oh the time wasted playing command and conquere, megalomania.....red alert.....oh the domains I could have been registering.....

 

[right_here]

It's a hard choice, but if I had the opportunity, I would have registered music.com and/or love.com.

 

[BoutiqueMusic]

money.com

asdf.com

 

[BinderGang]

You see all the domains posted in this thread?

None of you would've been able to get them, because I would have gotten them already.

 

[-Adam-]

aol.com just because of the initial marketing strategy they used
mp3.com easy one
and way too many adult ones to list to be ummm viewable by those underage.
oh and Anime.com just because I've been a fan for quite some time.

 

[scandiman]

After recent news I would have to pick business.com :hehe:

 

[malibumobile]

I think I would have taken all 2 letter country codes.

 

[VURG]

I think that I may have been one of the people who fell for the .net being better than the .com.

I might have gone for something like cool.net or hot.net or inter.net

 

[allabout42]

food.com

 

[labrocca]

X.com
My.com
www.com
sex.com
com.com
1.com

-Allan :gl:

Dude...you stole like my EXACT list! WTF

 

[mwzd]

I'd go for something extensible like world.com or om.com

But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Let's start a thread on what you should register now so that people will be drooling like this in 10 years or so...

 

[maz]

Nobody mentioned net.com and org.com
For shame, for shame.

 

[fierne]

Games.com
mp3.com
sex.com
money.com
news.com
love.com

 

[johntv]

sex.com for the money and john.com for my personal website

 

[nicholas]

business.com or biz.com
