Title: Domain Ideas for Motorcycle Map
Post by: frodus on May 07, 2014, 09:59:58 PM
Hey guys!

Trying to come up with a decent name for the electric motorcycle map

It doesn't need to be easy to type because I figure most of people will be clicking a link.... and I doubt that people would be getting a business card and have to type it all in.....

Some ideas I've had:
highvoltageriders.com
hvriders.com
EVriders.com
electricmotorcyclemap.com
elmotomap.com
motuselectric.us
motuselectricus.com


Other ideas? This is getting a lot of attention. Who knows, it could be more than just a map in the future, so keep that in mind.

Also keep in mind the infinite abyss of new gTLDs are launching.  Off the top of my head .bike and .directory are already live and in the wild; could be neat. 

For instance! (https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results.aspx?domain=emoto.bike)

I really like evriders.com

Those TLDs are pretty cool, too. Gonna make a fortune for URL registrars, I bet.

Haha yeah.  They basically figured out they could print money, and rammed this thing through.  My favorite quote on the whole debacle (http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/what-s-in-a-domain-name-), from Esther Dyson (founding chair of ICANN!) --

It will also create lots of work for lawyers, marketers of search-engine optimization, registries, and registrars.

All of this will create jobs, but little extra value. To me, useless jobs are, well, useless.

That being said, I am absolutely unable to resist buying a couple new stupid domains.  I know you had your eye on poop.computer, but alas I beat you to the punch.
