RE: [videoblogging] dot tv
I was in the same position last week. I just went for .TV. I kinda like the sound of it anyway - a differentiator from the usual .com – I’d just make sure the name you use as part of the domain is quite easy to remember (so they don’t have to remember it is some weird name AND .TV). steven :: Release 2.0 :: http://stevenR2.com From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:videoblogging@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Starfire Sent: 23 August 2005 01:12 To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: [videoblogging] dot tv I'm considering a new domain for myself for my Vlogging ventures. The only suffixes available for the name I want are .org.uk or .tv. I kinda like the sound of .tv but vlogging is not TV. I suppose I could keep brainstorming names and find a .com out there that I like but I really wanna use a certain domain name. And with everybody getting content through a feed now days how important is a name? Is dot com the best? Thoughts, ideas? thanks. Starfire** YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] dot tv
hi Starfire, I personally favor .tv as far as vlogging goes. the odds of getting a shorter, more memorable domain are higher with .tv. the downside is that .tv domains are much more expensive compared to .com, .net, etc. I use GoDaddy, they are the cheapest at $34.95/year for a .tv domain. cheers, - Jared -- Adventures in biking: http://www.spokes.tv/ Adventures in life: http://jklett.blip.tv/ On Aug 22, 2005, at 8:11 PM, Starfire wrote: > I'm considering a new domain for myself for my Vlogging ventures.

RE: [videoblogging] dot tv
As a General rule, .com is the best. No question. It is the default and much more memorable. That's not to say people aren't successful with .org .net .info etcetera. You just have to be prepared that most people you tell your URI to are likely going to visit the .com first. Between a .org.uk or .tv, as a lazy American I'd prefer the .tv as I would be more likely to remember it. And I wouldn't worry too much about the whole TV thing, afterall it doesn't really stand for television it stands for Tuvalo. Anyway, the association with television may help people remember it. -David >From: Starfire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com >To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com >Subject: [videoblogging] dot tv >Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 19:11:56 -0500 > >I'm considering a new domain for myself for my Vlogging ventures.
