| Unintentional typosquatting is an interesting take. But I would not call it that way, as the names I'm coming up with are neither similar to any popular sites nor to sites with similar products. And often times all or most of the similar domains are just parked, often for sale (but not in my current budget). And I wouldn't say it's difficult to land in such a situation when generating names of this kind - actually at least three of the ideas I'm playing with have this issue. Essentially, I'm in a situation like, I suppose, etsy was (or could have been) when they've chosen their name and decided to use etsy.com. Then maybe found out that etsi.com is used by some company (from totally other line of business) already, or for sale, but went with their idea anyway, not worrying that they won't own etsi.com (probably fake scenario as apparently etsi.com is not used at the moment, but who knows). Again, like with reddit, this particular example shows a scenario, where choosing such name & domain was not an issue for the company in the long run. What I'm considering, are pros and cons of such approach, and maybe some unforeseen problems. |
