domain wlm360.com - The new MSN Messenger - Windows Live Messenger

[Mattias]

Hi,

I would like an appraisal on the name wlm360.com please.

WLM is the new name of MSN Messenger and it stands for Windows Live Messenger.

Was this a waste of money? Dont really know if WLM is gonna be a used term or not..

I'd say reg fee. WLM is great, but 360 is not as Windows makes Xbox 360s, but not Messenger 360s.

Take a look at this thread: http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/217304-report-360-suffix-domain-sales.html

360 is a term thats being more and more used.

That is a small percentage of the 360 domains registered though, and none of the other ones are weak acronyms.

Yes, I've seen that thread. But from my view, how many people about of 100 would see WLM as Windows Live Messenger? Most refer to it still as MSN or MSN Messenger. 360, unless Microsoft decides to add that last bit, I don't think it's suitable as I mentioned, it doesn't have too much to do with the name nor can it be added on at the end like other keywords.

That is correct. The sale figures at least the ones reported in my thread above represent a small amount from the registered 360 suffix names
However the meaning of that thread is not only to report the amount of sales but also the amount buyers gave to acquire some of the names
In that thread they are not only the high sales but also normal/low sales, to reflect the market beat
Generally an average or even somehow low selection of 360 suffix names worth more than the regfree (something that some people in some forums believe that most of the 360 suffix names worth $0)

360 gets more popular everyday and even i don't say it's the discovery of the century it can serve domain industry very well
It's a short easy to remember, one word only plus 360

What i believe many domainers think if this is a big bubble that will pop in the near future
Judging from the amount of registrations, the quality and the numbers of sales i personally say that this will not happen
Simply because the known human rule "i have something cool....hey i want that for me too" can't be bypassed and also not available names increase their value because they become rare to others. Look for example the 3 char domains. Some do mean something, some are known acronyms but tell me what the L-L.com represent? An actual soccer match score....NO you pay the fact that there are not available to be registered anymore

Anyway as any investment, you stake your money and your time to a good stock and wait (or sell it for the right price when you feel it's the right time)
