[epynonymous]

fully agree, i used to have an io site, it was trendy at the time, but came at a premium, 99 usd per year, nowdays i just try to find the cheapest i can get that has a reasonable name to it that's easy to remember. i also like the get<appname>.com pattern, because usually domain squatters havent caught onto it yet. my algorithm for domain names is essentially about subverting domain squatters without making the site too cryptic. it's kind of like when delicio.us came out, that was a very big fu to all domain squatters and also l33t because it opened up so many doors for me regarding domain name possibilities.

the user base matters, too, if you're targetting older folks like 50+ then probably .com is a safer bet.

my domain names:
