Re: [videoblogging] Domain question
I own schlomo.tv for only one reason: schlomo.com is taken. Of course, I don't do anything with schlomo.tv because I'm happy with my blogspot account, so it just sits around being a waste of money on a yearly basis. Since I can't own schlomo.com, godaddy was nice enough to inform me that I can purchase theschlomo.com... which I did after having a couple shots of whiskey. That one, just like schlomo.tv, languishes on the vine, smelling worse each day I don't use it. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is: if you can't get the .com you want, get the .tv It won't change your life, but it will slightly change your pocketbook.

Re: [videoblogging] Domain question
I'm in a class on documentary research and writing, and I was trying to whittle down my final choice for a focus from a couple of ideas, and as anyone on the Internet knows, you can't start a project until you've purchased an appropriate domain name. A quick search told me my first choice .com was taken, but .org and .tv weren't. I went with .org because it implies non-profit, while .tv implies ongoing 'channel' or 'collection' of video. Since a feature doc is my goal, .org made more sense even though it sort of forces the profit versus non-profit question. If I was doing a video blog or some such, I would have gone with .tv. But yeah, like Schlomo, I seem to collect domains for good ideas that I don't follow through on. But if Carson Daly can squat domains, so can we!

Re: [videoblogging] Domain question
I've not bothered with a .tv domain because I think it's got a connotation of episodic content or shows etc ... and that doesn't really describe my stuff. Also I guess I have always had the its a website that has video perspective rather than the I've got videos that need a website perspective I assume video will be only one of many types of media used ... thus I always reach for the .com it seems. I've got a few vlog-related domains (most of which need some love and attention from me) ... and they are all .com or .net I do like the .tv domain though ... someday perhaps I'll have a project for which .tv sounds right to me. - Dave On 10/17/07, John Oeffinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've mainly lurk on this group but have benefited from your comments and suggestions which I appreciate.

Re: [videoblogging] Domain question
Good point Rox, these will primarily be short 5 minute weekly clips on 3 different sites. One weekly clip is based on historical stuff. The other two are weekly summaries of industry stuff (2 different industries - connecting the dots kinda things.)

Re: [videoblogging] Domain question
Thanks Schlomo, Jackson, and David - I appreciate your quick responses. I've mainly used .com and snagged a .tv when GoDaddy still had it for 9.95...but their .tvs are now $39 so I was wondering if I am missing something. I'll stick with the .com but include tv in the domain name so people see the focus is on video.

Re: [videoblogging] Domain question
around the 17/10/07 John Oeffinger mentioned about [videoblogging] Domain question that: If you are not migrating to the .tv domains, is it because of the domain name cost? Thanks for your insight...John no, because it isn't tv :-), (and neither do I live or work in Tuvalu). Don't get me started on the commercialisation of country level domains when they're supposed to refer to geographic/state entitie. -- cheers Adrian Miles this email is bloggable [ ] ask first [ ] private [x] vogmae.net.au [official compliance stuff:] CRICOS provider code: 00122A
Re: [videoblogging] Domain question
I have a .tv domain (and I'm happier to contribute to the Tuvaluan economy than to whomever gets .com fees) Some bastard or robot stole twittervlog.com. i didn't buy it quick enough after launching as twittervlog.blogspot.com So I got twittervlog.tv instead and only later realised the unintended way in which the letters TV seem also to stand for TwitterVlog. (Um, I had to have that pointed out to me at Pixelodeon. Duh.) But it's a real pain when trying to give my url to non-techie civilians. they're often confused or irritated by having to remember .tv instead of .com or .co.uk. And that's in addition to them having to remember a stupid name like Twittervlog. Most of my RL friends and relatives tell me they just Google Rupert Howe instead. So I wish I could just give them a simple .com domain.
