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!
