Mingle.io - Rare opportunity to own this Premium one-word .io domain

We took over this domain from the original owners after they sold their software to ThoughtWorks. ThoughtWorks is now using the name Mingle for their project management software similar to Basecamp.

• Domain is 4 years old since 2012
• Mingle has 135,000 exact match searches in Keyword Planner and has 37,700,000 search results in Google.
• All TLD's and ccTLD's are taken for this keyword. (.com, .net, .org & .co)

The word 'Mingle' is also closely associated with the dating or networking industry. Spark Networks who operates JDate also utilize the word Mingle in their other projects (ChristianMingle, CatholicMingle).

As you can see, Mingle.io can be use for many different things - project management tool, chatroom, online dating app, social networking app etc. The name Mingle is very relevant in the technology space.

Why invest in .io domains?

The reason .io domains are so valuable is because companies that use .io domains are known as being great at what they do. This blog post explains it well:

"These new .io sites are almost artisanal in nature - small, well crafted and functional. It's like a TLD for techies with taste."

They are also short, sound good, and .io domains perform well in Google's search results. The reason for this is because they've been added to the geotargetable domains list.

A lot of the tech startups that use .io domains are now very successful businesses, further reinforcing the idea that companies that use .io domains are "in the know" and part of the sophisticated tech crowd.

Check out just some of these examples:

• Google acquired spider.io
• Easel.io was acquired by github
• Keen IO just raised $11.3 million
• Nitrous.io just closed a $6.65 million Series A round
• Ginger.io raised $6.5 million
• Tuition.io raised $6 million and manages over $1 billion in student loans
• Intercom raised $6 million
• Greenhouse raise $2.7 million
• kontakt.io raised $2 million
• Luma.io acquired by Instagram
• Rackspace acquires Exceptional.io
• And many more

But it's not only startups that use .io domains. Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are also buying .io domains.
