Some of my thoughts here: thehumanpangea.com I like the idea of Pangea and its promise to reunite the continents. Really nice. But I really don't find names with "the" in front as credible or "serious". humanproject.com is interesting, but what does it say? And how much will it cost?
The more I think about it, the more I wonder if the name should try to be so GRAND. Maybe that's why I like United Ecosystems, it seems to stem from the creator of the organization, something out of the mind of a billionaire, entrepreneur, engineer if you know what I mean. As for the .com vs .co or .org, could it be seen as an advantage to have a more obscure organization, less easily found on the search engines? I like that aspect. What do you think, what is going to drive traffic to the site, word of mouth? Search engines? Just asking here.
